November: An Academy for Liars by Alexis Henderson!

As you can see, we try to read front- and backlist titles! Of the books published in 2024, my favorite was An Academy for Liars. For backlist titles that I weren't rereads, The Water Outlaws was fan-fucking-tastic. Happy reading! (4/4)

TLDR not a fan of the Goodreads Choice Awards or Goodreads in general and wanted to shout out some of my favorite historical romances that came out this!

Would love to connect with other #romancelandia fans!

I'm not on BookTok and while I gather that historical isn't the most popular genre there, it's a real disservice to historical writers who do outstanding research and craft such beautiful stories. I'm pretty sure I cried reading the majority of these books. (7/8)

Last but not least, my favorite romance novel of the year: Earls Trip by @jennyholi.bsky.social!!! I loved it so much that I made my romance book club read it.
