Welcome to a very silly edition of Whatcha Reading! Lara: I’m reading One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig. It’s a gothic fantasy romance allegedly. So far it’s a little slow, but not slow enough to make me stop reading it. The premise is interesting and there is potential there so I’m sticking with it. Sarah: I have started A Most Agreeable Murder and it is extremely silly and absurd and I’m turning pages. Or pressing … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? June 2023, Part One→

Currently listening to A Murderous Relation and having a splendid … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? May 2023, Part Two→

It’s April and time for our first Whatcha Reading of the month! Lara: I’ve fallen back into the comfort provided by a familiar series: Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter novels. I’ve got to be in the right frame of mind for them, but when I am, they hit the sweet spot. Sneezy: I’m re-reading the webtoon North x Northwest about a cross dressing pirate. It’s been on hiatus for a long ass time, and now the … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? April 2023, Part One→
We’re wrapping up March with our part two of Whatcha Reading! Sneezy: I’ve recently started Between Harlem and Heaven by JJ Johnson and Alexander Smalls. The writing is lovely and I can’t wait to read all about the food!!!! Elyse: I’m just over halfway through The Priory of the Orange Tree and I’m loving it. It’s epic fantasy, very immersive, and so far there hasn’t been a ton of violence like in other books I’ve … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? March 2023, Part Two→
Okay for real this time. It’s time for part one of March’s Whatcha Reading. I know I jumped the gun in February. Elyse: I just started Mountains Made of Glass and so far I’m really enjoying it. Shana: I’m reading the Sum of All Kisses by Julia Quinn and wishing there was more banter. I’m also listening to the audiobook of Drama Free: A Guide to Managing Unhealthy Family Relationships and it is amazing. Highly … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? March 2023, Part One→
It’s that time everyone! Gather ’round and tell us what you’ve been reading lately! Elyse: I just started King of Wrath by Ana Huang. Shana: I just finished Even Though I Knew the End by CL Polk. It’s a hardboiled period mystery set in an alternate Chicago, with a lesbian love story. I am totally in love with the heroine, a detective with sexy noir-ish vibes who’s trying to catch a magical serial killer and … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? Feb 2023, Part Two→
Hey all, it’s February! Whatcha reading? Tara: I finished the duology from Lee Winter that I was reading last time. The Fixer was great, but Chaos Agent… I can’t stop thinking about it. Together, they make for a contemplative, thought-provoking interrogation of whether a villain can be truly redeemed, as well as an excellent romance. Claudia: This sounds amazing! Unfortunately I’m not very enthused by the stuff I’m reading right now, hoping something good will … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? February 2023, Part One→
It’s that time! Time for you to tell us what you’re reading! EllenM: After a long period of being totally bored by and sick of most historical romance, I’m suddenly finding myself enjoying it again! Just finished A Scandalous Kind of Duke by Mia Vincy which was delightfully full of pining and longing. I also may have stayed up way too late last night binging the first couple volumes of the manga series My Boss’s … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? January 2023, Part Two→
It’s the first Whatcha Reading of 2023! How are we all starting off? Strong? A big of a slump? Shana: I just glommed I Like You Like That by Kayla Grosse in a day. I don’t read a lot of bodyguard romances, but this hit the spot for me. Next up on my TBR is Asia Monique’s Flower Sisters series . Each book is themed around a heroine’s love language. I’m starting with the “words … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? January 2023, Part One→
It’s that time, everyone! Time to tell us Whatcha Reading! This is the last Whatcha Reading of the year. Thank you all for another amazing year and for being part of this great community. I’m sure our TBR piles have ended a little (or perhaps a lot) heavier than when we started in January. See you in 2023! … Lara: I’m trying to push the reset button on my reading so I’m giving short stories … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? December 2022, Part Two→
