I finished Luv (un)Arranged by N. M. Patel and it was perfect. Slow burn up to 50% as the couple got to know each other in such a cute way. Then hella steamy. So sweet and delightful and yet made me cry. Highly recommend!

My Spotify randomly played Going Under by Evanescence and I had such a flashback to my angsty years. I was obsessed with the Tristan and Isolde movie and used to watch clips on YouTube with random songs behind it. My favorite one was Going Under.

I started All Superheroes Need PR by Elizabeth Stephens last night and it’s totally breaking me out of the book slump I’ve been in.

I didn’t go to ApollyCon but I did drive from New Jersey to DC to attend the @authornalinisingh and @nicwillwrites event at @eastcitybookshop! We had a fantastic time and loved being able to meet Nalini and Denise in person.

Second night of staying up way too late reading sad historical romances. This one was One Season with the Duke by Addy Du Lac.

Thought I had rereading the Psy-Changeling series: Bonds of Justice has so many Sascha/Lucas scenes that reading it feels similar to reading Tangle of Need for the Hawke/Sienna scenes.

My March Wrap Up. Clearly, I went down a Nalini Singh rabbit hole after reading an ARC of Atonement Sky. I needed the comfort of her books. I’ve finally broken out of my binge and now she’s just my audio reads ( I’m up to Blaze of Memory.)

My personal trainer. We both did 10 minute workouts today. Mine was HIT, his was chasing the light beam reflecting off my watch around the apartment.

Finally broke my two week Nalini Singh binge (I’m continuing it on audio with Hostage to Pleasure) with a trashy book that I can’t recommend lol. It was a reread so I knew it was going to be terrible and addicting.

I’m currently unable to read anything but Nalini Singh psy-changeling books. Both on audio and with my eyes. It’s been two weeks. It’s probably a sign of internalizing the stress of watching my country fall apart.

Why is Nalini Singh so skilled at writing things that make me side-eye in real life i.e. age-gap ( Kiss of Snow) or boss/employee ( Rock Hard)? I mean, I do love these tropes in romance but she’s just the best of making me forgot those can be problematic in real life.

Time for my February wrap up. I read a bunch this month including two nonfiction books. One was on The Crusades and one on the Normans. I did a binge of The Housemaid series. Those books are addicting. My rereads this month were two Kimberly Lemming books, two Tay Monae, and The Nanny.

Finished Deep End by Ali Hazelwood last night. And I’m not sure why all the “clutched pearls” responses over this book. It had the right about of spice for the book and the story. Honestly, the biggest suspension of disbelief was how mature and good at communicating the main characters are.
