Erin Hahn just became one of my favorite romance authors. I went through this series so quickly (like, within a few days) and I instantly felt sad that it was over. Shelby and Cameron share such a sweet, heartfelt relationship, and the book just felt so genuine.

Idk man this is too woo-woo even for me -- it could be about 50% shorter and I would like it. He just says the same thing like 20 different ways.

This was a fun full-cast audiobook follow-up to one of my all-time favorite romances. Sweet, quick and funny!
Alabama v. King: Martin Luther King Jr. and the Criminal Trial That Launched the Civil Rights Movement by David Fisher, Dan Abrams, Fred Gray

informative slow-paced

4.0

This book is written in meticulous detail that some may find tedious or dry -- but I ended up picking up the audiobook version of this, which made it more compelling, especially hearing some of Fred Gray's thoughts in his own voice. Dan Abrams does an excellent job of weaving together a complex story that could easily get lost in legalese, while also highlighting the voices of Gray and others involved in the Montgomery bus boycotts. A fascinating look at a piece of history I previously only knew surface-level information about.
