one last read before we officially close out fall reading season and make the switch to holiday books! 🍂🎃

Autumn at the Cat Café x Kathleen Fuller feels like the perfect book to send off the season with. cozy fall vibes, a little romance, and one last excuse to hold onto fall just a bit longer. 🧡

💭 qotd: have you started your holiday reading yet, or are you holding onto fall for a little longer?

november, you have my full attention!!

a little mix of books i’ve been wanting to read, a few that have been sitting on my tbr, and some that are helping me reach my @goodreads reading goal! i’m slowly making the transition into holiday reading, but i have a few other stories i need to squeeze in first (hello Autumn at the Cat Café)!

Lovelight Farms has been on my tbr since last summer, and i’m so excited to finally pick it up as a buddy read with @milestoneminis.collabs ! i’ve heard so many good things, and i think this might be the perfect time to read it. 🎄

here’s to a new month, new stories, and hopefully a few more five-star reads!

💭 QOTD: what’s one book that’s been sitting on your tbr forever that you’re determined to read soon?

October was a five-star month!! 🍂📚
all five books i read this month earned their five stars, and i genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better reading lineup!!

Mad Mabel and The Book Witch were perfect standouts, and getting to read two more Lynn Painter books? you already know i was happy with that!✨

now i’m slowly making the switch from spooky season to holiday reads, and i’m so ready for all the cozy, festive romance November has in store! 🎄✨

qotd: what was your favorite read of October?

Lynn Painter really can do no wrong in my eyes✨
there’s just something about the way she writes romance that keeps me coming back for more. the banter, the chemistry, and the little moments between the characters are everything i love in a rom-com. i loved every second of watching Iz and Blake’s story unfold 💜
Lynn Painter always leaves me with the biggest smile, and Accidentally Amy was no exception! i swear, every time i pick up a Lynn Painter book, i’m reminded why she’s one of my forever favorite authors. another five star read from an author i will never stop recommending!

qotd: would you ever date your boss? OR what is your current read?

The Book Witch was everything and more. i absolutely loved the story line, and the intertwining of Alice in Wonderland. Alice’s story has always had such a special place in my heart, and seeing those elements woven into something so unique and fun was so special to me! the plot just kept twisting, turning, and growing in ways i never expected, and i was hooked the entire time. not once did it feel boring, repetitive, or dragged out. every piece felt like it had a purpose, and i genuinely loved watching everything unfold.

💭 qotd: if you could be a witch, or have a superpower, what kind of witch/what power would you have?

#lynnpainter #romance #fallreads #romancereadersofinstagram #2026readinggoal by @ashlynsgoodreads

30 BOOKS. 22 FIVE-STAR READS. 70 DAYS EARLY.

officially hit my 2026 reading goal, and i couldn’t be happier!!

i set out to read 30 books this year! i made it to my goal with over two months to spare!! from romance reads that had me kicking my feet & keeping me in my comfort zone, to books that pushed me outside of that zone & helped me expand my palette, this year has been full of stories i’m so glad i picked up!!

here’s to more books, more five-star favorites, and hopefully a few new authors to obsess over!! (always taking recommendations!)

qotd: do you set a yearly reading goal? if so, how many books are you hoping to read this year?

an undefeated five weeks for both of my teams (the Vikings and Chiefs) AND another five star Lynn Painter book? i really couldn’t have asked for a better combination. 🏈❤️💜

i just love Lynn Painter and everything she writes, and i will forever be seated for whatever she puts out next. First & Forever was such a fitting read for this little winning streak!

five stars, as always. Lynn Painter, you will always be one of my favorite authors. ✨

qotd: who is an author you will automatically read anything from?
