Ya girl’s been getting a lot more reading in! I almost have another graphic filled with some more must-reads!

But let’s talk about these today! 🫶🏼

I had the pleasure of reading and endorsing my friend’s gritty Christian historical romance, There’s Only Been You. Check Goodreads for my official endorsement, but honestly? All you need to know is that this book broke me and stitched me back together. As an eldest child/daughter, I related to our FMC so much! I don’t read a lot of historical, but if Mikayla writes it, I’m reading it! @mikaylarobbinsauthor

Next up, I finally got to finish out this delicious trilogy by @shariltapscott 🥳 I absolutely love all of Shari’s books; she’s my go-to when I’m in a slump or just need an easy read that I know I’m going to immensely enjoy. This conclusive novel to a witty series was everything I was hoping it would be! Even took me by surprise with a little twisty twist at the end!

Lastly, books one and two of Emma M. Lion, since @sincerely.latisha and @skipthespice literally shoved the books at me (thanks ladies 😂 I love book mail!). I understand the hype, and I’m excited to continue reading. I promise not to join the cult tho. (Pinky promise.)

See any of your favorite reads? And similar books I should add to my TBR?

It’s here!!!! The cover reveal for @authordrewtaylor’s new novella “Ski the Moment” coming out November 30th on paperback, ebook, and Kindle Unlimited!!!

Isn’t she gorgeous? 😍💕 I’m OBSESSED with the colors!! 💜🩷🩵

THE BLURB:

“Some kisses only come once. Some deserve another moment.

Gia Reyes:

When my family joins the Turners for an epic Christmas vacation at Frost Resort in Alaska, I keep finding myself paired with my best friend Julian—whom I once kissed at the mercy of my own made-up signals—only to have him frame me permanently in the friend zone.

Each stolen glance, gentle touch, and heartfelt conversation has me wondering. . .

Can I rewrite our narrative, crafting an ending where one kiss leads us into forever?

Julian Turner:

I cleared my chaotic schedule for a joint-family vacation, but I’m starting to think these uninterrupted days with Gia—my best friend I’ve spent years convincing myself I can’t have—could be a blessing or a curse. Especially when our families constantly remind us that we can only ever be friends.

As feelings I’ve buried rise to the surface, will Gia dare to trust me with her heart after she boldly kissed me while I was too naive to see the woman right in front of me?

Ski the Moment is a heartwarming NA Christian romance filled with tight-knit family shenanigans, hilarious banter, authentic faith, and two best friends who simply need to. . . seize the moment.”

Preorder now—you can order the ebook on Amazon, or the paperback on Drew’s website!!

And make sure you stay tuned for the other books apart of this multi-author collaboration!!

📚 July Book Haul 📚

I scored some amazing books from a clean and wholesome book swap, and I can’t thank my gift giver enough. I absolutely love participating in these swaps because it’s such a fun way to discover new books while sharing ones you love. Thanks @skipthespice

I also found some incredible deals on other sites and was lucky enough to complete the Kingmakers series by Sophie Lark@in paperback! Of course, I couldn’t resist picking up a few of my most wanted books too.

I was also blessed to score some amazing reads from @spicydragoncompany

And this is just my physical haul…I may have added even more to my Kindle and Audible libraries because we all know buying books and reading books are two completely separate hobbies. 😂

What was your favorite book you bought this month? 📖💕
