The drama in these books has me intrigued but I don’t know how I’ll feel about those conversations. I’ve read some romances where the drama at the end has me side eying the author because what? I created a netgalley last year and my score is 30%. I know I can probably get to 80% this year. I have 28 books I have left to review so I can do this!
@babeinlibrary5 күн бұрын
The drama in this series is very juicy!!! I have 2 more left in this series and I’m wondering what they will have going on. NetGalley is truly a trap lol. I’m honest not sure if I’ll ever make it to 80%. I’m just glad to finally be out of the 40s

I have seen so many great things about somebody’s wife and I am just so intrigued lol I’ve heard so much about fast and I love books that emotionally pull me apart lol not exactly the video idea you want, but I’d love emotional, angsty romance recs by BIPOC authors. I see them come up on KZbin but most of them aren’t diverse

I’m all for DNFing series! I need to do more of that. I don’t really continue a series after the first one. I’m notoriously bad for not continuing in romance series but I need to finish Synithia Williams Jackson Falls series. I’m intrigued with Bridge Kingdom, especially because you said it’s more fantasy than romance. I am usually disappointed with the fantasy in fantasy romance 🚤

I don’t have a Goodreads anymore but I’m very surprised(and not at the same time) that Kennedy Ryan was not on that list. The diverse romance should have definitely been on there but the mass majority just don’t read diversely like us. I’m glad we’re in the space we are in.
