Book Riot is teaming up with Inkyard Press to giveaway one YA Fantasy & Sci-Fi book bundle!
Y’all, it’s Tuesday (as I write this). I am trying to tune out the talking heads, but I’m also fascinated by the math. I don’t know what the day will look like as you’re reading this, but I hope you’re taking care of yourself. And if you’re still recovering from Tuesday-night libations, keep drinking that water.
Anyway, books.
Over on Book Riot
I know the spooky season is over, but I am super intrigued by this deep dive into Eve Silver’s books and I am down for some gothic horror romance.
And Trisha decided to quiz me on meet-cutes.
Embrace your inner romance protagonist and check out these cottagecore gifts.
Or cozy up with some bookish socks.
And round it out with some printable art.

Like Lovers Do by Tracey Livesay
Even though this is the second in the series, you can jump right into Like Lovers Do and swoon your way through it. This friends-to-lovers fake relationship novel includes vistas at Martha’s Vineyard, family tensions, and ex-girlfriends. I haven’t read this one (even though I’ve been meaning to, story of my life!) but there are a bunch of people who share my preferences that have absolutely loved it, even more than the first one.
New Books!
(Note: I’d intended to discuss this book last week but it was our sponsor, so you get to see my thoughts on it this time around!)
If the Boot Fits by Rebekah Weatherspoon
I’ll tell you a secret: I never actually finished reading A Cowboy to Remember. I love Rebekah’s books with all my soul, but the amnesia + second chance romance thing was not for me. But that didn’t mean I wasn’t gonna be all out for If the Boot Fits, her take on the Cinderella story.
After Amanda and Sam have a magical night together, she runs off in the morning, late for work. She also accidentally absconds with his Oscar statuette, but there’s an easy fix for that. What’s less easy is the fact that he doesn’t know her name or how to find her…except they run across each other at Sam’s family ranch in Charming, California, where she’s attending a wedding. Can they figure out if it was meant to be, or will she slip away again?
I haven’t read far enough into the book to establish a full list of content warnings, but I will say that Amanda works for a relatively toxic actress who has her own issues.
(Also, if you like to read with sound, I recommend a running marathon of all your favorite Cinderella stories in the background. It definitely contributes to the ambience.)
