✨What is Jack reading today?✨

The start of a new series depicting what Jack is currently reading.

✨Out on a Limb: by Hannah Bonam-Young

Winnifred “Win” McNulty has always been wildly independent. Not one to be coddled for her limb difference, Win has spent most of her life trying to prove that she can do it all on her own. And, with some minor adjustments, she’s done just fine. That is until she has a one-night stand with the incredibly charming Bo, a perfect stranger. And that one night changes everything. While Bo is surprisingly elated to step up to the plate, Win finds herself unsure of whether she can handle this new challenge on her own or if she’ll need a helping hand. Together, Win and Bo decide to get to know one another as friends and nothing more. But, as they both should know by now, life rarely goes according to plan.

Next of Kin @authorhannahby

When people-pleasing Chloe learns that her birth mother has unexpectedly had another baby, she doesn’t hesitate to become a next of kin guardian. But when she fails to pass Child Protective Services’ financial evaluation, she is faced with a choice: see her baby sister placed in foster care or participate in CPS’ new initiative, TeamUp.

Enter Warren, a surly mechanic’s apprentice attempting to get custody of his deaf fifteen-year-old brother after failing CPS’ housing evaluation. The two strangers immediately clash but agree to live together until Warren can find housing elsewhere and Chloe can further grow her freelance career.

As their lives intertwine, Chloe and Warren both realise that they’re far more similar than they could have imagined. What started as forced begins to feel natural—and far less lonely. Chemistry soon intensifies beyond what either of them can stand, but they must each decide if what burns between them is worth risking their arrangement and, ultimately, the well-being of their siblings.

✨What crazy shenanigans is Jack up to today?✨

Jack decided to read our ARC of Love’s A Witch by @triciaomalleyauthor because he is excited there is a doggy on the cover!

Thank you @gallerybooks for this gifted ARC of Love’s A Witch. I am so excited to start reading it because Tricia O’Malley is one of my favorite authors and anything she writes is an instant read/buy for me.

Synopsis:
From New York Times bestselling author Tricia O’Malley, Charmed meets The Pumpkin Spice Café in this cozy romantasy about a witch returning to Scotland to break a family curse—only to clash with one grumpy Scotsman determined to protect his town from her haywire magic.

She’s hexed. He’s vexed. And for Scotland’s most magical small-town, their feud might just spell disaster.

Sloane MacGregor swore she’d never return to Briarhaven, but with her twenty-fifth birthday looming—the day witches come into their magic—her grandmother summons her and her sisters back for one tiny task: break the centuries-old curse haunting their bloodline.

Knox Douglas, Briarhaven’s grumpy mayor, has worked tirelessly to make his town a haven for magical folk. The last thing he needs is a cursed MacGregor wreaking havoc. It doesn’t matter he once crushed on her. For the sake of Briarhaven, Sloane has to go.

But magic has other plans—and in Briarhaven, love really is a witch.

Releases August 26th, 2025

Tropes:
✨Romantic Comedy
✨Enemies to Lovers
✨Second Chance Romance
✨He Falls First

🎧✨ **POV: You press play on an audiobook thinking you’ll listen for a little bit… and suddenly you’re emotionally invested in EVERYTHING.**

*Threshing Day* by @rebeccayarros was such an intense audiobook experience. There’s something about hearing a story like this brought to life that makes the emotions hit just a little harder—and I was completely pulled in.

Rebecca Yarros knows how to create characters who get under your skin, and this one had me feeling **all the things**. The tension, the emotions, the relationships… I found myself thinking about the story even when I wasn’t listening. 👀

My poor baby Liam… ughhh listening to his POV was devastating to me. Now listening to @narratedbyteddyhamilton as Daddy Xaden? THE BEST! I needed this in my life to hold me until Book 4.

And can we talk about how dangerous it is when an audiobook is *that* easy to binge?! “Just one more chapter” turned into “well, I guess I’m listening until I finish.” 😂🎧

If you love emotionally charged stories, complicated characters, and audiobooks that completely suck you into their world, **add this one to your TBR—or better yet, your audiobook queue.**

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🎧 **Have you listened to *Threshing Day* yet? Tell me: are you an audiobook person, or do you need the physical book in your hands?** 👇📚

Also, how beautiful is my dragon?! 🥹🥹

**POV: You pick up a book expecting a beautiful summer escape… and end up thinking about love, freedom, and the choices we make long after you’ve turned the last page. 🌊💙**

*Into the Blue* by @emma.c.brodie was such an atmospheric, emotional read for me. There was something about the setting and the way Brodie writes that made me feel completely immersed in the story. I could practically feel the salt air, hear the waves, and experience that bittersweet feeling of being somewhere beautiful while knowing that nothing stays the same forever.

What I loved most was how this book explores **love, freedom, identity, and the complicated process of figuring out who you are and what you actually want from life.** The characters felt messy and human, and I found myself thinking about their choices even when I wasn’t reading.

This was definitely a **slow-burn, mood-over-action kind of read** for me. It’s not necessarily about racing through the pages—it’s about soaking up the atmosphere, sitting with the emotions, and letting the story linger.

✨ **My rating: 5/5 stars** ✨

If you’re looking for a book that feels like **summer, ocean air, complicated relationships, beautiful prose, and a little heartbreak**, put this one on your TBR. 🌊📚

If you can listen to it, even better! I loved the audiobook, it made the story so much more devastating. Thankfully @libby.app had it available to borrow immediately. @prhaudio

**Have you read *Into the Blue* yet? Tell me your rating below 👇 And if it’s still sitting on your TBR… take this as your sign to finally pick it up! 💙**

September, you were a good one. 🍂📚

A little bit of romance, a little bit of drama, a few questionable decisions by fictional characters, and several books that completely stole my sleep schedule. 😂

Here’s everything I read this month — the hits, the misses, and the books I’ll probably be thinking about for the rest of the year. 🤎

Now tell me… **what was your September 5-star read?** ⭐️

#SeptemberWrapUp #SeptemberReads #Bookstagram #Bookstagrammer #bookish

This month had a little bit of everything — sweet romances, complicated relationships, small-town vibes, messy characters, and a mystery that had me questioning everyone. I love when my monthly stack gives me a mix of genres and moods because it keeps me from falling into a reading slump. 🫶🏼 thank goodness for audiobooks!

📖 My September reads:

⭐️ Still Into You — 5/5 @erinconnorbooks @hachetteaudio
Such a fun romance and easily one of my favorites of the month! I loved the chemistry and the emotional side of this one. Definitely a book I flew through.

⭐️ The Shampoo Effect — 4/5 @jennyjacksonpineapple @prhaudio
This one was such a cute, summery read! 🍍 It had that light, easy-to-read feeling that made it perfect for getting lost in for a few hours.

⭐️ Heart the Lover — 4/5 @lilykingbooks @simon.audio
A little more emotional and complicated, but in a way that kept me invested. I love a book that makes me think about the characters even after I put it down.

⭐️ My Husband’s Wife — 4/5 @alicewriterland @macmillan.audio
Give me a messy relationship and secrets I probably shouldn’t be uncovering and I’m in. 👀 This one definitely kept me turning the pages.

⭐️ The Wedding People — 4/5 @alison.espach
A great mix of humor, heart, and unexpected moments. I really enjoyed getting swept up in this story!

⭐️ Small Town Smokeshow— 5/5
💕 MY 5-STAR READ! 💕 @authorhollyrenee @teamhollyrenee @podiumentertainment
This one completely won me over. Small-town romance + chemistry + characters I actually wanted to spend time with = exactly what I needed.

⭐️ In Stormy Weather — 4/5 @authorchelseacurto @simonandschuster
Another romance that brought all the feelings. 🌧️💗 I loved the atmosphere and the by @jess_readssss
