A perfect culmination of an enemies-to-lovers brewing for four books with a wonderful blend of adult and teen romance is a surefire way to my heart. Best Dream Harbor book yet! 🩷✨️🎄

Zasłużony Nobel za ogólny opis wiejskiej codzienności pod koniec XIX wieku, jednak jako współczesna powieść sprawdza się nieco gorzej. Sprawiedliwość dla Jagusi!

A cover of Władysław Reymont's audiobook of "Chłopi", read by Marek Walczak, in a circular frame with plants drawn sprouting out of it. This image is imposed over a paper collage background with cutouts of flowers, plain pages, and pages with writing, both handwriting and print.

A cute novella, entirely carried by the FMC, though refreshing in its portrayal of an MMC who's simply a nice guy (if not much more). With enough suspension of disbelief it's a charming read.

Glorifying red flags just because the man is rich and sexy isn't my thing. I question FMC's morals if to her that makes up for MMC's crimes and crude dominance. I see why it's popular though 😒

Sharp as nails commentary on class, loneliness, and Ivy League education under a pair of fluffy bunny ears. Not quite what I expected, but I embraced the ride and rage all the same.

Non-stop giggles at the fairytale style of the story of Isabella and hew newfound wizardry fixing everyone else's problems. I demand justice for the grimalkin!

An Instagram ad that paid off with a compassionate story of healing. Though I wish that it didn't shy away from going deeper just to preserve the cosy vibes.

Cudowna saga rodzinna, dopóki nie jest przerywana historyczno-moralnymi debatami w tomach 3 i 4; ciekawsza, kiedy nie dzieje się nic wielkiego.
A four-pannel collage. The diagonal from top left to bottom right are cover images of Maria Dąbrowska's "Noce i dnie" audiobook, volumes 1-4. Top right image is a stack of three books between a pair of headphones. And bottom left image shows three old leatherbound books next to a small vase of dried flowers.

It seems to be the source of the many currently popular tropes in this obviously ex-fanfiction. It's clear how a successful romance writing career grew out of this debut, but I wasn't hooked until the 2nd half.
