I adore Henry and Ivo. Loved everything about this. Ivo’s art room is just the best. The push and pull and uncertainty was just right.

I always enjoy enemies to lovers. It was good. Adorable together. Vibe was like an excellent fanfiction.

I bought a set of linen bedsheets.....

The first half of this book Rafe is me. I've never seen such an accurate depiction of my own sexuality before. The second half, not so much. I'm not into being touched as much as Rafe is after getting into the relationship. Close but not exactly it. Still the closest I've ever seen before. It's so weird to think that of the hundreds and hundreds of books I've read nothing else has come close to what I experience.

I really wish I could read casually instead of devouring books in one day like a starved goblin. This book was Perfection. World building 100%, Characters 100%, weird and interesting stuff 100%

Will I read this again? Hell yea! Buying the hardbacks as we speak. Also some extra book display stands. I need more shelf space.

Damn it... it's an ongoing series and the second book leaves you hanging on the edge of a massive cliff

I have to say, I am biased. You've Got Mail is my number one favorite movie✨✨. Hell, I was literally watching it in the hospital when I was giving birth to my kid. This book not only has You've Got Mail quotes and homages, bouquet of sharpened pencils anyone, but is almost like a remake in and of itself. I went into it with no idea and was squealing from excitement!

Also, whenever I get surprised by an ace spectrum character figuring stuff out it always leaves me crying. If I had received a better sex education when I was younger would I have understood my self quicker? How different would my life be now without years and years of thinking I was broken.

OMFG, what in the cliffhanger

Complex history, long term mutual pining, character growth, finally communicating properly

A cute Christmas romcom. Definitely agree with their choice of best Christmas Carol movie, 100%.

Teenagers...

My brain kept inserting Maeve from SexEd in place of Ruby

Such impressive world building!!! All of the characters were complex and real and none of them were human. I loved it!!

The magic system felt very authentic. It effected the whole book world as an established part of their society just like it's supposed to. I've read a lot of magic systems that felt like they are sort of patched into the world but this one is

Tooth achingly sweet and adorable! My cavities now have cavities haha

Adorable, adorable, adorable! I'm on a three adorable books in a row streak, yay for me! ✨✨✨

So cute

✨the cover is pretty✨
Sci-fi/fantasy with political intrigue in a smallish colony of ex-earth people. It was enjoyable, I'll read the next one.

Non-binary regency MC's, yes ✨ this one in the series was more introspective with fashion and society than travel and adventure.

Like a Georgette Heyer. There is a specific one that I'm thinking of but I can't remember the name of it. Chasing runaways through the English countryside and accidentally falling in love with your curricle companion, but with more butts. It was funny

Short and rainy. Common old ephemera collecting and restoration sounds like fun. Like some random person's old calendar from like 2008 with all their little notes like appointments and birthdays and trips. How do you go about finding stuff like that?

Feelings so subtle that you don't notice they are gently wrapping around your heart getting tighter and tighter until you are crying and can't stop crying. The happiness is also sadness. Just at or slightly below the surface, rarely overwhelming you but never gone. Not sad enough to die but not happy enough to live. Just waiting for the clouds to part for a bit so you can feel the fleeting warmth of the sun on your face before it is gone again. I'm angry at the sadness.

Finishing books like this, that touch my soul, is a sort of death. T.J.'s stories always touch my soul, but this one especially. Especially.

It was also very funny but right now I'm just feeling sad.

Exactly what I was looking for! Adventure with barely any angst or childhood trauma. Just pure fun and silliness! I feel refreshed ✨✨

I was looking for rom-com and got angsty pining and childhood trauma again...but I still read it in less than a day...fuck

I'm going to need to pause my Alexis Hall full catalogue bingefest for a few books because the angsty bitter angst, self doubt, and beginning of childhood trauma healing of this series was emotionally draining and I'm tired and sad.
I've been reading too much and my brain is fried.
