Welcome back! Here’s what we’re reading to close out July: Sarah I’m reading Henry Tudor Must Die and I just got through the action part into the exposition part. I am antsy to return to it and am already blocking off more time to read today Lara: Virginia Heath is hit or miss for me, but I really enjoyed Prides Comes Before a Fall. Writing the review is on my to do list! Sarah: Update: … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? July 2026, Part Two →

Welcome back to Whatcha Reading! Here’s how we’re kicking off July: Lara: I’m reading a mystery-romance that is by turns pedestrian and annoying, but I am persisting because I need to know who killed the victim. I’m building myself into a state of high dudgeon and I’m sorely tempted to write a rant review. The book is The Cloak and Dagger Club by Jackie McMahon. Elyse: I just started The Unmagical Life of Briar Jones … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? July 2026, Part One →

Happy Saturday! June is coming to a close. Here’s what we’re reading right now: Lara: I’m reading a new-to-me Regency romance author: Rachel Griffiths. The book is called Just for the Season and so far it’s a delight. Not a lot of historical detail which is usually not for me, but the heroine has such verve and bite, that I’m a fan anyway. Full review coming! Claudia: Trying to continue with Amy Rose Bennett’s The … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? June 2026, Part Two →

It’s Whatcha Reading! Here’s how we’re kicking off June: Elyse: I’m reading The Iron Garden Sutra by A.D. Sui. It’s a sci-fi locked room mystery with a monk as a protagonist and I’m really enjoying it. Sarah: I just started The Parisian Heist by Jo Piazza, as in, I’m 2% into the book. Claudia: I’m just finished Dearest Beast by Felicia Grossman. Suffer-no-fools “unlikeable” heroine is the “beast” in this retelling. Shana: I’m continuing to … Continue reading Whatcha Reading?

Happy Saturday! It’s time for Whatcha Reading! Here’s how we’re kick off May: Lara: After reading Dolly All The Time by Annabel Monaghan (and LOVING it with one tiny caveat – full review coming), I’ve decided to delve into her back catalogue and this morning I started Nora Goes Off Script. Of course I only got 20 minutes in before my daughter woke up and the pre-school morning routine kicked in, but I’m looking forward … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? May 2026, Part One →

Hey there! It’s April! Here’s what we’re reading right now: Carrie: I’m reading Call Me Traitor by Everina Maxwell – it is SO GOOD. Lara: I’m reading Thistlemarsh by Moorea Corrigan. There is a teeny tiny niche of ‘Fae’ books that I enjoy and I think this book might fall into that niche! So far the writing is just excellent. There’ll be a full review around publication date. Elyse: I’m reading Thistlemarch too! Amanda: I’m … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? April 2026, Part One →

Welcome back! March is coming to a close. Here’s what we’re reading right now: Lara: I’ve just started The Luckiest Lady in London by Sherry Thomas from 2013! It’s my first historical romance of hers so I’m excited for it. So far I’m enjoying it but I’m only one chapter in! Claudia: I just finished A Most Worthy Husband by Faye Delacour and really liked it, except the ending felt very rushed. Great working-class hero. … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? March 2026, Part Two →

Happy Saturday! We’re halfway through March already. Here’s what we’re reading: Lara:  I’m reading The Name Game by Beth O’Leary. It’s a mixture of diary entries, emails and flashbacks. It’s still early days, but it’s giving me the kind of feeling that Bridget Jones’ Diary did a million years ago. Will report back! Sarah: I’m reading Royal Gambit by Daniel O’Malley because Adam recommended it to me after he finished it. I’ve recommended dozens of … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? March 2026, Part One →

Welcome back! It’s the last day of February and here’s how we’re wrapping up the month: Sarah: Alpha, Omega, and Update: Blind Date with a Werewolf is an anthology that came out last year and focuses on Asil, a side character. I read that after Cry Wolf because series order is a meaningless construct that doesn’t apply to me. Ha ha! Now I’m reading book two, Hunting Ground. Lara: I had a bit of a … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? February 2026, Part Two →

Welcome back and happy weekend! Here’s what we’re reading right now: Lara: I am reading a book that I have tried to get my greedy little paws on for MONTHS and finally I HAVE IT! How to Lose a Lord in Ten Days by Sophie Irwin. It’s possible the anticipation of this release has raised my expectations unreasonably high, but I am cautiously optimistic that it’ll be great. I’m only a chapter in so far! Elyse: … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? February 2026, Part One →
