I'm currently reading Heartsong by TJ Klune. This is the third book in the Green Creek series. I'm reading a copy from the library whilst listening to the audiobook. Reading this for my Series and Author TBR. This is an adult fantasy book with a romance element and LGBTQ+ characters.

Loving this from page one. Very happy, since the second book was a bit of a struggle. I knew I was going to like this one, because of the central characters in this one. But it is also just very twisty and things are revealed that had me shocked. This might become my favorite in the series so far.

Definitely my favorite in the series so far. It was so good! Very emotional. Very well plotted. I love that the author respected the identity of the love interest. Ending was very good and made me want to start the next book immediately.

I'm currently reading The falcon and the foe by A.J. Truman. This is the first book in the Single dads club series. I'm listening to the audiobook. This is an adult romance book with LGBTQ+ characters.

The start of this one was very good. It is an actual enemies to lovers book. I really like the single dad aspect and like the main characters a lot. Unfortunately there were references to a certain book that I really don't want to read, especially in a book published in 2022 by a queer author. Makes me very angry and very disappointed in the author. Still enjoying the book, but it has definitely stayed in my mind. Going to decrease my rating because of this for sure.

It was mentioned one more time unfortunately. Had to take a whole star off for this. Story itself was still very good. A lot of smutty scenes. Romance between the men was very nice and cute. I am conflicted about reading another book from this author though.

I have read Spy x family Volume 5 by Tatsuya Endo. This is the fifth book in the Spy x family series. I read a copy from the library. This is an adult manga.

This one was back to the school setting, which is not my favorite of this series. But there was another element added towards the end that I actually really liked and excited to see where that storyline will go. It will focus the story a bit more I think, which I do want.

I'm currently reading Gwen and Art are not in love by Lex Croucher. I'm reading a copy from the library. Reading this for a book club and because it was on my TBR. This is a young adult historical romance book with LGBTQ+ characters.

I have always really liked the story of King Arthur. So this book was already a win for me. The start was very good, I really like the main characters. I don't like however how they are towards eachother. Hopefully that changes soon and I will enjoy the book more.

I did enjoy the book a lot more when the main characters actually liked eachother. The story was very well done and well plotted. I absolutely loved all the characters. Ending felt a little bit rushed and a bit convenient, but since this is a young adult book, that's totally okay. Can't wait to read more from this author.

I have read The kiss quotient by Helen Hoang. This is the first book in The kiss quotient series. I read a copy from the library whilst listening to the audiobook. Read this for my 2025 goal of reading new(ish) genres. This is an adult contemporary romance book.

I loved this so much. First female/male romance that I loved a lot. The main character, and the author, is autistic and it was really fun and great to read from that perspective. It was very well done. The male main character was a delight to read about. The book was very well plotted and thought out. The miscommunication at the end made sense and there was good communication between the characters. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.
