Chase Lovett Wants Me by Helena Hunting

5.0

Helena does it again!! Quick, bingeable, smutty, super-fun romance and I loved every second. So excited for this new hockey uni world!! 

The audiobook narrators did a great job too! 

Thanks so much to Helena for the arc - all thoughts are my own.

Every book in this series just got better! I completely devoured this book, and while I am sad it’s over and I’ll miss Winnie Wednesday, Jay Friday and the rest of the gang, I thought it all came to a beautiful conclusion and all my questions were answered! 

The writing voice in this series took me a bit of time to get into and adjust to, but by The Whispering Night I didn’t even notice in anymore. 

Nothing but good things to say about this ya fantasy book and I hope everyone else enjoys it as much as I did!! 

Thanks NetGalley and Tor Teen for the arc, all thoughts are mine! 

The Hunting Moon by Susan Dennard

4.0

I think I enjoyed the sequel even more than the Luminaries! While the writing tone/ style still took me a bit to get into, I felt more used to it, and found this book more atmospheric as I was able to lean into the style more. Parts of the story are predictable and dependable the way ya fantasy tends to be, but I ate it up and practically couldn’t put the book down! 

Can’t wait to find out what happens next for the bear, the bell and the sparrow 👀

Wedding Dashers by Heather McBreen

5.0

What a fantastic book, and to think it’s a debut - mind blown! I loved so much about this book and don’t even know where to start. I couldn’t put it down. 

As a lover of traveling, I love a traveling romance and travel gone wrong trope. Ada is hit with a series of unfortunate events on the way to her sisters wedding, and ends up cooped up with the best-man. It had heat, slow burn, passion, a ton of depth and a romcom-perfect ending. It felt like a movie and I found myself thinking about the movie Leap Year. 

Thank you to Forever pub, Heather and NetGalley for the arc. I’ll read anything Heather writes as this was so fantastic.

Merry Ever After by Tessa Bailey

Cute short story. I always feel a little skeptical of these whirlwind romances, but I loved the single mom feature and found it heartwarming.

The Internal Family Systems Workbook: A Guide to Discover Your Self and Heal Your Parts by Richard Schwartz

challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

I read the Internal Family Systems Workbook over the course of three months while also discussing IFS in therapy and found the workbook really helpful for digging in deeper and really starting to understand the method. It’s definitely not the kind of book I could read in one sitting and it felt like a journey but I learned a lot. Most helpful I think was the definitions and how clear and straightforward the workbook is written. 

Thanks NetGalley and Sounds True for the arc. All thoughts are mine! 

Christmas Is All Around by Martha Waters

3.5

I love a holiday romance and there’s something special about UK Christmas stories! I hadn’t read anything quite like this story before either so it felt unique and like a new perspective to the typical Christmas romances. I thought a dual POV might have suited the story more, but it was a fun read. 

Overall 3.5 stars and I’d recommend it to anyone who likes hallmarky Christmas stories. Thank you NetGalley and Atria books for the arc. All thoughts are mine!
