✨ Christmas Romance Recommendation ✨
I read Lovelight Farms two years ago and I still think about it all the time. In fact, writing this makes me want to go back and reread it. Especially because I read it so early in my romance reading era that I didn’t even review it!

Ava and Des’s chemistry was off the charts, and I absolutely could not get enough of them.
Tropes:
💖 childhood friends to strangers to lovers
💖 “we’re just teaching each other how to date”
💖 secret identity
💖 sick / comfort
💖 meddling friends & family

Get a Life, Chloe Brown is one of my all time favorite contemporary romances.
Is there anything better than a dual-POV enemies to lovers? If you need some spice and ✨tension✨ in your life - highly recommend.

✨ Holiday Recommendation ✨
Amor Actually was my favorite holiday read last year, and I highly recommend it if you haven’t read it yet! There are nine stories in the collection, and it is a reimagining of Love Actually.

Why? Who is this meant to be good for? Nobody wants your shit AI books, never mind 8,000 in a year. Just a terrible idea and a horrible road the publishing industry is heading down.

Not to be insufferable, but the two shouldn’t be compared because Sesame Street covers early learning content (like pre k) and School House Rock covers upper elementary school content (like 5th grade)!
BUT YES, BRING BACK SCHOOL HOUSE ROCK!

Sesame street is a good show, but we need to bring back school house rock.
As an adult, School House Rock is the sole reason I remember my multiplication tables not even joking

I apologize for the person I was when someone said “reading is a skill and people just need more practice.”
Because reading is actually like 27 skills in a trenchcoat, and practice without mentorship & analysis rarely gets you anywhere.

Hey, I see a few of you non-bot/troll folks being less than decent to others in my comment threads. Please know that I want you to practice kindness with others. If you can't do that, your comment will be hidden for all, and if you keep it up, I'll block you. Be excellent to each other, please.
