I love notebooks and use to journal all the time to keep track of time. I changed to digital during my graduate schooling due to such the fast pace. And then stopped all together when depression hit. Your videos are inspiring me to try again and I look forward to rediscovering my new style. Even though I'm still struggling with motivation to check off my to-do list, I've been trying to give myself grace by recording my ta-da list (saw that in another comment/video, but am claiming it for myself 😅) to acknowledge what I have done even if it wasn't recording before hand.

For romance, anything by Emily Henry! Her newer one, Funny Story is my current favorite.

🤩

My next years reading journal will totally be inspired by yours!

I will recommend anything by Beth O'Leary. (Especially the Flat Share) I feel like she is a good intro to modern contemporary romances

I just caught up on the Rose Hill series by Elsie Silver! There's only two out right now, Wild Love and Wild Eyes, and I have loved both of them! They're super easy to read (I'm a slow reader and I read these both in about a day and a half), and they have great banter, and the pacing in super fast! I would definitely recommend those for your romance adventure this month!

Hey, how do whe know there is a book 'marathon' like challenge happening? I kinda whant to be a part of it

The app "Holiday Today" has a lot of recurring, very fun holidays, like Tolkien Day, doughnut day, etc. I know it has an iPhone version, and I'm pretty sure it's also for Android.

I will be participating in The Tilted Kettle Bookclub's Festival of Love event for February.

This looks so good! Also some romance recs: - The Off-Campus series by Elle Kennedy (4 books) - Emily Henry (anything she writes is amazing) - Twisted Series by Ana Huang (4 books) - Dreamland Billionaires by Lauren Asher (3 books) - Binding and Keeping 13 by Chloe Walsh (you will cry) - Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood There's more but these are one of my faves that are very easy to get into

Romance recs: Two Can Play by Ali Hazelwood (this is a short one!) Love and Other Conspiracies by Mallory Marlowe Not Another Love Song by Julie Soto Fangirl Down by Tessa Bailey Raiders of the Lost Heart by Jo Segura Something Wilder by Christina Lauren Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood (This is YA, but still felt adult-appropriate to me) Funny Feelings by Tarah Dewitt Do Your Worst by Rosie Danan Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld Thank You For Listening by Julia Whelan The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang Battle Royal by Lucy Parker The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary (I left out Emily Henry, because I think that's something many people will recommend but I love many of her books, too)

Delilah Green Doesn't Care :) great romance!

Courtenay BC Canada

Romance recommendation: I recommend Nora Roberts, her latest the Lost Bride series has all the romance with some paranormal elements to tickle the fantasy element.

My word of the year is Time

as a book recomendation Emily Henrys books are good romances

I’ll be using 4 dot grid journals … 1 Daily. 2 book journal. 3 5 year journal. 4 Craft Show Journal

Some romance recs: A Bollywood Affair by Sonali Dev, Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, lots of Nora Roberts and Danielle Steele.

I will also recommend Nora Roberts. Having written for over 40 years she should have something that might spark your interest. Other good romance writers include Kathleen Brooks (very funny and self assured female leads) or Dale Mayer if you are into military romances.

If you're ever in the mood for paranormal romance try Queen of Shadows by Dianne Sylvan. It's the first of a series but the first book is definitely a romance. And it involves sexy ninja computer programmer sci-fi nerd vampires. ;). (Yes, I wrote it, it was my baby so I have to shove it in people's faces like people do with human babies, LOL!)

If you think you might like to try a historical romance, "The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie" by Jennifer Ashley has one of the most interesting male leads I've ever encountered!

This is just reminding that January is almost over and all I've managed to read is the InuYasha manga I got for Christmas :P I haven't found a lot of time to read this month between work and a bunch of other little things I've been doing. But I'm down to maybe 20 chapters of Pride & Prejudice so if I do 2 chapters a day, I could be done in a reasonable amount of time

My 2 facorite romance movies with sandra bullock, 1. While you were sleeping and 2. The Lake House

I love the colors! What code is that pink Tombow brush pen?

I love the reading challenges you've taken. For the romance books I suggest any of Susan Stoker's series. She writes military heroes and the women they love. A second suggestion is Talia Hibbert's Take a Hint, Dani Brown. Enjoy!

The Storied Life of AJ Fikrey is a cozy romcom book and movie.

I loved Nettle and Bone! It has the bestest goodest boy! For Regular not fantasy romance I highly recommend Claudia Dain. Especially her Courtesan series. First one is The Courtesan's Daughter. She also has a pirate one titled: Tell Me Lies. For Romance movies I like the BBC miniseries of Jane Austen's books, and also Jane Eyre, and the Importance of Being Ernest

I read it a couple years ago, so my recollection is fuzzy, but I remember really enjoying 'Imogen, Obviously' by Becky Albertalli. I don't know if it's your interest, since it's a sort of late highschool/early college romance, but if the description sounds interesting ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This was amazing! So glad I found you. Sad it was too late to witness your beautiful work

Some romance recs (from someone who's not really a romance reader) - The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston, a contemporary magical realism, and The Library of Borrowed Hearts by Lucy Gilmore, multi POV & multi timeline. I rated both 5 stars.

I really enjoy Roleplaying (about a couple who first connect through a MMORPG) and Do Me a Favor (chef & farmer/handyman) by Cathy Yardley. They are about older characters and I feel like have a good emotional foundation to the relationship!

As for romance recommendations, I've heard Ali Hazelwood writes mostly in that genre. I'm not a romance reader either, so I don't have any specific books to recommend. As for challenges/readathons, I'm doing Polarthon with JadeyRaeReads as well as Aeldia with G on Book Roast.

One recommendation for m/f romance would be Extreme Honor, the start of the True Heroes series by Piper J. Drake. They're not pure romance but rather romantic suspense. She does also do romantic fantasy, but you were looking for not-fantasy. One of the things I love about her books is that there are almost always animals featured somehow. In this series, they are working dogs for people working in private security. If you'd prefer a one-off, a stand-alone contemporary romance she has is Gaming Grace, also m/f, in a Caribbean vacation setting. Peering through my Kindle library, most of it is fantasy or sci-fi romance. However, there is Ginger Snapping All the Way by Gabbi Grey, a Christmasy contemporary m/m romance. Or there's Mrs. Martin's Incomparable Adventure by Courtney Milan for f/f romance, which starts off as an an attempted con. Hopefully something in there looks interesting!

Are we talking just heterosexual romance or are you open to MM or MMM+? 😂 cause let me tell you…🤤

I'm new to your channel and love it! I am aging myself but I love Stephanie Laurens. She writes Regency era romance centered primarily around the Cynister family although there are newer ones that are based around a different family. Also Nora Roberts.

This is so pretty. I think your quotation marks are upside down?? Love the PET you used!!♥️♥️

For February, I'm doing the Victorious Reading Year of Philosophy and the History Reading Challenges. I may also do Polarthon. I'm trying to read my own physical and Kobo TBRs, however, so challenges may be rare for me on my no-buy.

Carole matthews sunny day and sea breeze or anything from milly johnson

Im playing a game this month called how many readathons is too many readathons lol participating in: Bookemon, get a clue, everbloom academy, and deck of tbrathon mini! As well as finishing up tbrathon from this month haha

wasting time at the local pub

i love this pink theme! the decoration is so cute, my jaw DROPPED with the flower washi 🩷

Suggestions for your Lucky in Love challenge; Love Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood, The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston, Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer. And for a movie - Love Actually. Enjoy 😊

If you wanted to try some historical romance, definitely look for some Georgette Heyer, think Jane Austen lite. Def my top comfort reads, well written and v easy to read! She also does some murder mysteries set in the 1920s, but the regency ones are my favs, spirited heroines, evil dukes, dashing gents etc 😁

Princess Bride. Best romance EVER!

I HIGHLY recommend the Dreamland Billionaires Trilogy by Lauren Asher as well as her other series i believe it's called Lakefront Billionaires? and then the Bromance Book Club Series by Lyssa Kay Adams. These are the ones that immediately come to mind for me though.

my favorite romance authors recommendations: Emily Henry, Julie Soto, Abby Jimenez, Ali Hazelwood, Olivia Dade, Amy Lea, Helen Hoang

I loved fake flame by adele buck and fangirl down by tessa bailey
