You have such great reading taste! I loved that BK Borison, Carley Fortune, Emily Henry, Elsie Silver, etc. So many good ones! I hope you get a chance to read Emily Henry's new one this month--it was SO good. Maybe my favorite yet!

I have it sitting on my bedside waiting for me - I’m really looking forward to it. I’m currently reading The Conditions Of Will by Jessa Hastings and then I’m all in on GBBL 📚

I need to read Fearless! I've been reading the Blood and Steel books which are great (nothing will still ever top ACOTAR and TOG for me though)

Ohh I’ve heard good things about the blood and steel series. I’ve still got TOG to read too!

I love romance, and I love that you read YA books too (I'll have to check out The Rival).

Table for One isn't being released in the US until September so I'll wait till then.

I read Say You'll Remember Me last month too and adored it. I've been listening to a lot of Abby Jimenez interviews lately and they're very inspiring and funny. She owns a bakery, Nadia Cakes (they're referenced in every book of hers), and they make a custom cupcake for each book and I might have to get one shipped to me when she releases her next book. 😂

I’ve been listening to a lot of her interviews too! I really love how she writes her novels on her phone on the go too.

Me too! I want to write romance, and her process really speaks to me as I've been finding it hard to find time to write. You and her have shown me creativity doesn’t have to come in long, carved-out blocks of time. It can be woven into everyday life and still lead to something meaningful.

That’s my dream too! That and opening a romance bookshop here in the city. Cheering you on with your novel Lisa 💛

Saving this list for when I’m looking for some new fictional reads!

I’ve gotten back to reading more fiction in the past few years and it’s so enjoyable, but it can be challenging to pick something in the library when you’ve got no steering 😅
