So I did a thing and brought home Flynn. He’s already acting like he’s lived here forever, curled up on my blanket and giving me those little “yeah I’m staying” eyes. I’m completely obsessed already and he knows it. 🐾💛

I read, he watches his “idiots” show, and somehow this is our version of a peaceful night.

Currently reading Fall I Want because fall finallyyyy showed up in Nor Cal and my basic self is honestly so happy about it. Like give me the cozy vibes, the warm drinks, the cute little reading moments… I’ve been waiting for this. 🍂📖

This book had me way more hooked than I expected. I kept saying one more chapter and then kept going. Their feelings start slipping through so naturally and it kept me reading. And when the spice shows up, it feels exactly right for them. https://simplydaaaniii.com/only-between-us/

Fall refuses to show up in Nor Cal so I’m fully committing to living inside cozy books until further notice. This one gave me the exact mix of feelings I wanted. Someone please bring me a cardigan and a cold breeze.Full review https://simplydaaaniii.com/fall-into-you/

Academic rivals, fake marriage, and the sweetest sister bond. Sadie and Jonah tension and banter were everything. Big thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. Smart, soft, and perfectly book-nerdy.

She calls him the enemy, he calls it business, but every time they argue it feels like foreplay. They say it’s just a fling while she finishes one last wedding at the inn, but please… when you’re having sleepovers and sharing coffee orders, that’s not casual. We all know it.

This hockey romance had every setup for forbidden chaos. Therapist. Injured player. Secret dating. I was ready for drama that ruined me. Instead it skimmed past all the rules and gave me nothing to panic about. Cute moments? Yes. Believable forbidden love? Not really.

They said it was just temporary. I said lies. The looks lasted too long, the banter got too flirty, the touches were too obvious. Lulu kept insisting it was fake and I was sitting here like girl you are fooling no one.

Best friends since college and they still cannot figure it out 😭 I was losing my mind watching Mari and Javi circle around each other like this. The banter is hilarious but the feelings underneath… painful in the best way.

Devil Wears Prada vibes but with AI dating chaos? 👀  Office drama, deadlines everywhere, and Remi just trying to live while quietly carrying her grief. Not obsessed, but I was entertained and sometimes that’s enough.

Morning commute = my unofficial reading hour ☕📖
It’s just me, my Kindle, and pretending I’m in the intro of a cozy romcom instead of on the train to work. #booksky #books #reader #booklover

Before the Sunset had so much potential but the emotional whiplash was real. Best friends to lovers, fake dating, messy situationship vibes. Finn? 10/10 book boyfriend. Reese? Girl, pls. If you’re into messy romance book recs, this one’s a ride.

After the Storm was chaos in a small town.
Second chances, a messy divorce, emotional damage, and a five-year-old Disney-obsessed icon named Grace who honestly saved the whole thing.Still not sure how I feel, but the drama definitely kept me reading. #booksky #romancebook #bookreview

Finished Under the Stars in a day. Georgia is pure sunshine, Maddox is the grumpiest grump, and their workplace romance is total chaos in the best way. Also… his nickname down there? I’m still recovering. #bookreview #booksky #romancebook

I will always have a soft spot for small town stories where the people are messy but their hearts are good. Into the Tide by Laura Pavlov got that feeling so right.

Made this jellyfish Kindle insert using a print from The Honey Bee Shop Patreon. Printed it on cardstock and slipped it into my case. Lately I’ve been watching the Monterey Bay Aquarium jelly cam while reading and it’s such a chill, cozy vibe. Totally obsessed.
