It’s been a really long time since I went book browsing, bought a book, and then immediately started said book. This stunning cover caught my attention immediately and now I just have to read it (even as I get side eye from my neglected current reads). ]]> Review7320542775 Mon, 28 Apr 2025 07:29:29 -0700 <![CDATA[Kaitlyn added 'Not Safe for Work']]> /review/show/7320542775 Not Safe for Work by Nisha J.

Super excited to receive the ALC for Not Safe for Work! I inhaled this book in one day and I'm so excited to hear it on audio too! Thank you to Hachette Audio and Forever for the ALC!!

I had a fantastic time with Not Safe for Work. I was planning on reading this next month but ended up picking this up on a whim yesterday afternoon andddd then finished it yesterday afternoon lol. This was an easy read in the best way - bingeable, relatable (sometimes unfortunately), and full of tension that keeps you hooked.

Nisha found a great balance of career and romance which can be a tricky thing! I work in a very male dominated field as well and some of Nisha's points really hit home. Strides have been made but there is still a long way to go and I really appreciated that our FMC held her ground and stood up for herself and others.

After reading this author's fantasy books I had a strong feeling that I would really appreciate her writing in a romcom setting and was really not disappointed. Ultimately I really enjoyed this and would highly recommend picking this up for the warm weather season when it releases in May (or anytime of course, but I love reading with the season lol).

❀ Workplace Rivals to Lovers
❀ BIPOC women in STEM
❀ Hawaii Setting (Workplace related)
❀ Tons of yearning - lots of angst
❀ Forced Proximity
❀ Forearms for days (Trishara I feel you girl, I also love forearms)
❀ Vulnerable moments

I never like to give away much in an arc review but I loved so many moments in this book and I will definitely be annotating the heck out of my copy in May!! Thank you so much to Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for the e-arc! As always, all opinions are my own. :)

NetGalley putting out all these fun summer release books at one time is cruel and unfair to my NG ratio :' ) ]]> ReadStatus9361897167 Mon, 28 Apr 2025 05:02:21 -0700 <![CDATA[Kaitlyn wants to read 'A Court This Cruel & Lovely']]> /review/show/7525407269 A Court This Cruel & Lovely by Stacia Stark Kaitlyn wants to read A Court This Cruel & Lovely by Stacia Stark

I just finished GBBL and it made me miss Charlie and Nora so much. I usually read Book Lovers once a year because it is one of my comfort reads and now I think it's that time again.

*�: ･ﾟ: *✧･�:*✧･�: *✧･�:*✧･�: *✧･�:*�: ･ﾟ:�*

I've re-read and re-listened to this book a ridiculous amount of times. It's one of those comfort books I can read easily without ever tiring of Charlie and Nora. I've seen a lot of mixed reviews of those who maybe really liked Beach Read / People you Meet and don't really love Book lovers. I happen to love Book Lovers and didn't really jive with the other two. I think you can either connect and relate to Nora, Charlie, and the dynamics or you just don't. This was not an earth shattering or life altering book but it is honestly probably one of my top 10 favorites.

*�: ･ﾟ: *✧･�:*✧･�: *✧･�:*✧･�: *✧･�:*�: ･ﾟ:�*

This is a book I would gladly read over and over again. I adored the characters, the banter, the story line. I switched between audiobook and physical book for this one and actually found that I loved the audio book so much. There were multiple times it had me smiling and laughing out loud. A definite favorite of mine from Emily Henry!
