aside from AART, these have been my favorites I’ve read year.

top book is Everything for You by Chloe Liese.

I don’t think any of them were published this year, though lol

what about you?

I could have finished Katabasis by now, but uh, I don’t think I can leave the Bertha Boys alone.

I’m a sucker for anything with Teddy, sorry not sorry. This was fun, hot, and just the right amount of mafia for me (not much, cause I’m a chicken).

finishing this book is like sitting in a lightless room with only the ringing in your ears for company, yet feeling content about it.

and he was still wearing the ring 🥺
The burning came again, cutting her panic short as she tried to place where the sensation was coming from. She knew that feeling. Her hand. Her left hand was burning. The ring. Her heart stalled. Kaine. He'd come back and found her gone. She'd told him she'd be waiting, and she wasn't there. The ring burned again and again and again. He was looking for her. He'd come for her. He always did. But she could not think about it. She had to forget. If she remembered and was interrogated, Kaine could not be found.

Kaine stared at the map and list, his eyes narrowing. "Who is he exactly?" "An Easterner. He helps here and there." "And you trust him?" "More than I can trust you," she said. Kaine turned white, but he crumpled the list into his pocket. "Don't leave," he said.

Breathe with Me by Becka Mack

Narrated by Alex Kydd & Avery Caris 🎧📚

Cara’s struggle with infertility affecting her self-worth hit similar points I’ve felt while becoming physically handicapped.

The “your heart is a mosaic” chapter really resonated with me.
