I read 13 books this month and we got some more TS songs so guess it was meant to be!

All the ebooks I read were arcs, so her is another month with no just ebook page lol. I had a great time with these books!

💭 Did you read any of these books?
💭 What is something you are looking forward to this month?
📣 Halloween! We are planning on going trick or treating with our little one for the first time 🥹
💭 What is something cool you did in September?
📣 I met BK BORISON

Had some amazing arcs this month! My favorite ALC was Holding Ground by @authorpiperrayne I love how they do full cast, it’s so immersive!

I can’t choose between Fangbanger by @sophiatraversauthor and Eat Slay Love by @anakirkshaw.author as my favorite arc this month. Honestly, I don’t even know if they would want me to pick one because they are supportive besties and we love that! Highly recommend, especially now that it is spooky season!

Omg the audio this month was stacked!! Kill to Love by @penny_sunday_ was my last audio read of the month and it completely blew me away! I was going to pick either priest or sinner before this one! It’s hilarious and the audio is so so so good!! It was an EXPERIENCE!

Currently reading Never Been Tamed and Lost in Love right now and loving them both! Super excited for the rest of the month! taken in BOOKSTA by @read_embetween

Happy Release Day @rebeccajenshak

📖 Taking Sides by Rebecca Jenshak

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Thank you to Rebecca Jenshak for this arc. This is my honest review.

Omg yes! I’m absolutely loving this series. This book is an awesome continuation of the series and it sets up the next book so well. I’m so excited for Danny’s story next. I finished this book in a day because I couldn’t put it down.

Conrad (Shep) is not the best with the ladies despite being super hot, he’s awkward when it comes to a girl he wants lol. Whitney is the hockey coach at the local high school. Shep comes to help her team and is immediately crushing on Whitney, but isn’t the best at showing it. He finally gets her to on a date with him, and it’s awkward. Events ensue and she realizes he’s just shy and gives him another chance. Things are progressing well until he realizes that she is the sister of his rival/ a guy he hates because dude is a jerk. Will they be able to move past it? Plot twist: YES 😏

I really enjoyed this story. Shep and Whitney were so good together. I loved how patient Whitney was with Shep and how she would accommodate him because of his shyness to make him more comfortable. It was very sweet. I also loved how obsessed Shep was with her and how protective he was of her. They both did great things throughout the story that showed me how much they cared for each other. They are a very sweet couple.

I also loved the appearances from the hockey crew as well. These characters are so fun and the friend group is so strong. It makes me so excited for the books to come. Especially the next one, I’m already obsessed with them 😍

Tropes:
😏 Rival’s sister
🏒 Hockey romance
🙈 Shy mmc
😙 She coaches high school hockey
😂 Hilarious friend group taken in BOOKSTA by @read_embetween

What can I say, I love a morally gray mc!

I will always go to bat for Landon King! He’s one of my favorite characters for the Legacy of Gods series. Does he do bad things? Yes. Does he do them to try to help the people he cares about in his own twisted way? Also yes. He also does it because he wants and it benefits himself, but that’s besides the point 😂

💭 Who is your favorite morally gray mc?
📣 Sloane Sutherland is another one of my favorites. She has so much depth!
💭 Do you prefer a morally gray character or one that is straight green flags?
💭 Also is it morally gray or morally grey? I literally don’t know which looks better?

I’m sure you are not surprised that I made this 😂 I love Taylor Swift and I love romance books!

Here are some romance book recs inspired by the 4 new songs on The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore!

💭 Have you listened yet? Any favorite songs?
💭 Have you read any of these books?

#bookstagram #taylorswift #swifties #romancereader #bookchallenge @taylornation

Patient Zero is literally about an ex’s new girlfriend reaching out to ask about his behavior.

In both of these series, The FMC of book 1 has an ex who started dating HER SISTER. The sister was clueless the behavior and it gets exposed in book 1. She then obviously breaks up with him and gets a HEA in book later in the series!

Flawless and Reckless by @authorelsiesilver
Not My Romeo and Not My Match by Isla Madden-Mills

Cleveland! Is about finding the love of your life. The haters trying to intervene and will always have their opinions, but you are happy so who cares!

These books highlight that!

The Heir by @sophiatraversauthor
Love Overboard by @kandisteiner
Paper Rings @authorbrittaneenicole

Pink Clouding is about feeling sorry for possibly hurting someone you cared about and hoping they are happy now. You were having a hard time, but they didn’t deserve that.

My recs involving this song have a main character dealing with some issues and the other main character coming along and helping them through it.

Redeemed by @laurenasherauthor
Unsteady by @peytoncorinneauthor
Archer’s Voice by @miasheridanauthor

The way I’m interpreting this song for this purpose of these recs is that it’s someone who regrets things ending between them and the person they love. Here are some second chance recs!
