I may be getting my reading groove(ish) back! I only read 2 books in February but it was how I felt while reading that gives me a little hope. I was engaged with the stories and even felt like talking about and reviewing them after. I've posted two reviews recently, and will be writing another one soon.
Here are a few books that I'm either currently reading or got through the Libro.fm audiobook arc program & hope to read soon.
Float Plan by Trish Doller Goodreads (library) I’m listening to this one on audio right now. Anna – a woman whose fiancé, who died by suicide, embarks alone on sailboat trip they had been planning. I was immediately drawn to her and hooked on the story which has been rare for me when it comes to hyped romances these days. Fingers crossed it continues.
Saints and Misfits by S.K Ali Goodreads This was an ALA book I’ve had on my shelf for years now and I’m happy to finally get back to clearing out that pile. It’s a little slower paced but good so far!
Libro.fm ALCs (audiobook arc's)
First Comes Like by Alisha Rai Goodreads Eh…this is a catfishing romance and I’m not thrilled with Jia’s voice so far or the way she confronts and then blows up at bewildered Dev, Her reaction is kind of immature/over-the-top and I might dnf this one. But Dev’s awkwardness with the niece he’s raising is adorable and has me hanging on a little bit longer
Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert Goodreads The first book in the series – Get a Life, Chloe Brown didn’t wow me but I adored Take a Hint, Dani Brown so I jumped at this audio arc.
Caul Baby by Morgan Jerkins Goodreads Honestly, this book sounds really strange and not like anything I’ve ever read. It involves the caul – a portion of the birth membrane that covers a babies face – and a Harlem family that deals in magic and the caul to protect babies. I think?? I don’t know. lol I LOVE the narrator, Joniece Abbot-Pratt (Raybearer & Grown), though so I’ll give it a try.
Lost in the Never Woods by Aiden Thomas Goodreads This is - as the author calls it – "basically fanfic" about Peter Pan/Wendy Darling and missing children. I just finished Thomas’s wonderful debut Cemetery Boys and missing children were a small plot thread that I didn’t feel was explored enough so I’m curious to (hopefully) see that fleshed out more in this book.
Have you read any or are you interested in reading any of these?
