I started following @annadamswrites in April 2025 and have been following her debut of Racing Hearts that released in February and now looking forward to Under The Orchard’s Spell (rip Ripe for A Charm #iykyk) and I am super excited to read another book by her! Also two releases in her first year? What a slay!!! Happy to be a part of Ann’s street team to support her upcoming release 😊 (p.s. thx for the goodies!)

Racing Hearts
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As someone who loves watching rowing during the Olympics it was so cool to get further insight into what a life that like entails as a professional athlete at the Olympic level. The yearning, the tension, the quiet love has me on the floor. Ugh Kath & Adrian FOREVER!!!!!!!

After several years of yapping through dms I finally got to meet the iconic @booksovrbros celebrating the release of Dearly Departed 🖤🖤🖤

I had the pleasure of reading Dearly Departed back in January and I absolutely loved Hayden, Levi, and all of Stonevale. Their story was so beautifully written and the message about grief was done so well and respectfully. I am the biggest fan of found family, so it was really lovely to see that woven throughout with all of the characters. Blood family can be messy, chaotic, and sometimes heartbreaking so being able to choose your own family is so special.

Hey daddy @putnambooks, pls let Chiptopher write Zane & Porter’s stories 🥲 (IM NOT ABOVE BEGGING)

Also got to meet the lovely @emilyrathauthor!!! Thank you @anovelromancebookstore 🫶🏻 taken in Louisville, Kentucky by @bookishly.kate

It was such a treat getting to celebrate pub day with @peytoncorinneauthor & @authorlylasage !!! Also, how cute are they???? I am SO excited to read Unbound, however, Lyla is the boss and I must read the first two first (duh) 🫡

Lyla’s sage advice of the day: say no to Pisces rat boys 🚫

& @peytoncorinneauthor was inducted into the b12 club tonight 🙂‍↔️

p.s. I never know what to do with my hands by @bookishly.kate

@kaits.always.reading and I are always on the same wavelength, so when she recommends a book I don’t even think twice 😂😂😂

I know In Her Own League is technically separate… but I freaking LOVE the Windy City family, literally one of my favorite series and group of people to ever exist.

I think everyone fell in love with Monty when we met him in Caught Up so getting to read his own story is such a treat!

p.s. Reese is a BADASS and I want to be just like her!!!!!!!! 💅🏻💅🏻

I can’t wait for everyone to read Reese and Monty’s story on Tuesday!!!!! by @bookishly.kate

You guys… this one came as a total shock for me as my very first non-romance-centered book… but I loved it and I love Rocky!!!!!

s/o to @kaits.always.reading for recommending it to me, I only wish I had read it sooner!!!

I had no idea how funny this would be and the audiobook is 🤌🏻!!!! I’m extremely excited for the movie coming out in a few weeks and really hoping we get to see the jazz hands come to life 🤩🤩🤩 by @bookishly.kate
