Break Out Year by KD Casey (libby ebook)
A really enjoyable read, even though the burn was a bit too slow. Less about baseball than one might expect. I was a bit confused by the process behind Eitan accidentally (?) coming out and then realizing he was gay. The last third of the book was strong.

The Last Graduate - Naomi Novik (libby ebook)
After tearing through the first in the series I needed quite a few false starts (and corresponding waits in the libby app) to get going with this, but in the end I enjoyed it just as much. The plot resolved in an unexpected but enjoyable direction.

Persuasion - Jane Austen (libby audiobook)
I've been on a bit of an Austen kick after rewatching Pride and Prejudice on vacation. I liked the broad humor here and found Anne more flawed and human than some other Austen heroines. The whole Elliot family were a delight.

Love for Love's Sake - (iqiyi)
Charming and heartfelt bl kdrama that is a bit more high concept then it needs to me. Really well acted and well made. All the characters are endearing but the main couple are especially adorable.

Kabe-Koji-Nekoyashiki-kun Desires to be Recognized (viki)
While similar in plot to the above this was 1000% more charming. Genuinely delightful characters that were quirky and yet real! Charming design! Kinky doujinshi as a major plotpoint! A genuinely affecting story about identity and love!!

A Gentleman's Gentleman by TJ Alexander (libby ebook, but a staff recommend at a charming bookshop in Richmond, VA)
Fun and engaging. The right mix of drama and silliness with a twist I didn't see coming. I felt the romance was a bit prefunctory but still a good read.

The Apology by Han Jimin (hardcover)
A Murakami-esque exploration of the lasting danger of lies. Half ghost story, half love story this book is a call to be forgiving to oneself and others, and willing to admit mistakes. A gift from @phoebeacheson.bsky.social

Red White & Royal Blue (libby audiobook)
Sweet and endearing romance probably everyone has read. The political elements seem naive at best in 2025. Good plane book.
