A lil #ShelfieSunday to round out the week (because nothing else is happening tonight, right? 😂)

This week - my #ReadTheRainbowSigning shelf! These are books from attending authors I've already collected. Some signed, some not, but the unsigned ones I'll be bringing with me to remedy that 😉

ARC Review:

🐑 The long story short is that I'm *obsessed* with this. I want to hug Folke. Joke with Finlay. Listen to Darach read nonstop. It was beautiful and immersive and I know I'll be thinking about it for a while.

Reading this in-between some of my other reads and OH my GAWD

@lesliemcadam.bsky.social Danny is *delicious* and Alden is *adorable*

I've read a few stories from this anthology, and loved them all so far!

Anna's is an adorable, "Dad's Best Friend", "Wrong Number (sort of)", "Age Gap" romance and does a great job of kicking off all of these short stories

I had so much fun with this ARC! The sweetest Cinderfella story between a shark shifter and his human mate ♥️ out Jan 20!

I was so excited to open my inbox and find this sitting there! just absolutely adored these two - I felt like my chest grew three sizes by the end of this lovely short story. They were so stinking cute, and I didn't want it to end.

Thanks Kay

No but seriously - I'm 4% into this book and the letter from Aunt Meadow had me crying like a baby.

#QOTD: what was the last book that made you cry? OR if you're dead inside like I usually am, what are you currently reading?
