@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I’m in the middle of “Red Heir” by Lisa Henry and Sarah Honey which I would describe as an incredibly funny Dungeons and Dragons adventure with a slow burn MM romance. I am thoroughly enjoying it.
@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I was finally able to start Old Time Religion by EH Lupton. I also finished it fairly quickly because it is an excellent book with a great balance of romance and plot with a couple established in the previous book. And the unique setting (1970/Wisconsin/with magic) definitely sets it apart.
@willaful @romancebooks @romancelandia “A Villain For Christmas” by Alice Winters. It was super fun. It’s the normal world except some people have powers and end up being villains or superheroes. I like her writing style. The heroes/villains have a unique sense of humor which makes the romance (MM in this case) very entertaining.
@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I just read “The 24 Dares of Christmas” which was a kindle freebie from stuff your ereader day. It was pretty much exactly as promised: a Christmas Hallmark movie with steam. 😀
@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I loved Lincoln, the MMC. I’m a Computer Engineer and I’m the only person in my book club who wasn’t calling him a loser. I was just hoping he’d end up with someone else. 😀
Beth (the FMC) completely lost me when she told her friend that she was partially at fault for her miscarriage.
@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks My local bookclub just read “Attachments” by Rainbow Rowell. One of the most unromantic romances novels I have ever read. It’s got an interesting premise (IT guy falls for a colleague after reading all her emails that keep getting flagged) but the FMC had few redeeming qualities (literally a stalker who had a live-in boyfriend for most of the book) and it went off the rails.
@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks Say You’ll Be Nine by Lucy Lennox. It was cute and fun and combined two of my favorite things: home renovations and RVs. 😀
@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I’m reading “I Went on an Adventure and All I Got Was This Barbarian Orc” by Jennifer Cody. It’s a hilarious and silly D&D campaign with some romance. The books are cheap and short.I’m enjoying them. (Disclaimer: I still play D&D with my college buddies even though I am now over 40 😀).
@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I’m finally listening to Spare by Prince Harry (16 hours!!). He does a good job of reading it. And the ghostwriter is very talented. I will definitely run out of housework before I run out of book. 😀
@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks “The Trouble with Trying to Date a Murderer” by Jennifer Cody. This book is BONKERS. It’s set in a universe that I can only describe as “Paranormal John Wick.” If you want “realism”, this is not the book for you. If you want a hilarious paranormal M/M romance grounded in absolutely zero reality, I recommend it!
@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I’m in the middle of “The Unlikely Heir” by Jax Calder. Not usually a fan of books about modern royalty, but I like the author so I gave it a shot. So far I have been very entertained!
(Due to a big Royal scandal, an obscure dude 11th in line for the throne is suddenly the new Prince of Wales and he’s falling for the Prime Minister)
@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks Just finished “Today Will Be Different” by Maria Semple for my local book club. Did not enjoy it. It was stressful to read and basically about a day in the life of a really mean woman and horrible parent who makes zero personal growth so at the end you’re like “so….what was the point?”
It’s supposed to be funny, but between the homophobia and fat shaming, I found it to just be horrifying.
@willaful @romancebooks “How to be a Normal Person” by TJ Klune. I really enjoyed this one. The writing was hilarious. The main characters were adorkable. Even inanimate objects are practically characters. I read it after a friend sent me the attached quote. 😀
