”I want goose bumps. I want to be wanted. All this time and I—I haven’t given up. I guess I’m just waiting for it to find me.”

Roll For Romance by Lenora Woods
I’ve been wanting to get into D&D more because it always looks so fun. And the romance subplots are to die for, so when I saw this I knew I had to read it.
I think it was so cool to switch between the characters irl and into the game. This book felt really steady and cozy, nothing too dramatic was going on but it was enough to see it to the end. Some parts were a little confusing as I am a newbie to the D&D world. Regardless, I still enjoyed it!

An Offer From a Gentleman by Julia Quinn
okay so this would’ve been a 5 star if book benedict wasn’t so overwhelming and abrasive. i have a problem with some of the things he did in the book, so i tried to completely erase it from my mind and replace it with luke thompsons version of benedict in the netflix adaptation.
the cinderella concept was so well done and i had such a good time reading this. it took me a day to fly through it and overall i loved it! it made me cry and kick my feet and scream omg so cute i loved loved loved it!!! maybe i’ll read another bridgerton book eventually!
