It’s our first Whatcha Reading of the new year. Here’s how we’re kicking off 2026: Lara: In a move that is surprising to no one in my life, I have just reread Heated Rivalry and I’m toying with reading The Long Game again next, but I might need to try chill on the Ilya/Shane action because I’ve been plotting ways to make Ilya and Shane merch here in South Africa, so … perhaps time to … Continue reading Whatcha Reading?

This year is coming to a close! Here’s what we’re reading during the last week of December: Lara: I’m catching up with Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter series. I’m currently reading Archangel’s Lineage. I’m desperately sad that this series will be coming to an end in May. It’s been a stalwart comfort for years. Amanda: My Romance TBR Takedown board had me landing on “new series.” I’m starting my Alice Coldbreath journey with Her Baseborn Bridegroom, … Continue reading Whatcha Reading?

Welcome back! It’s our first Whatcha Reading of the month, and that means only one more to go before 2026. Here’s what we’re reading: Lara: I’m reading and enjoying Dom-Com by Adriana Anders. I’m finding the growth of trust and intimacy in this book particularly great. There’s a lot of (hot) sex/scenes but each one pushes the characters development and evolution. Elyse: I’m reading Audition by Katie Kitamura. It’s not romance but I’ve heard multiple … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? December 2025, Part One →

November is quickly coming to a close. Here’s what we’re reading right now: Elyse: I’m reading Christmas Fling by Lindsay Kelk. Sarah: I have been reading The Hearth Witch’s Guide to Magic & Murder by Kiri Callaghan which is part murder mystery, part family drama, part fantasy quest – there’s been skulking in graveyards, magical tea, weird as murders, and fae cats. It’s got everything! Alas, my TBR grows longer because as I record the … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? November 2025, Part Two →

Welcome back to Whatcha Reading! Here’s what we’re reading right now: Sarah: I’m reading the end of Mate and I am both engaged with the story and infuriated by it. I’m also reading a book about magic and writing. Pam Grossman’s Magic Maker: The Enchanted Path to Creativity. I dislike the cover but the writing is warm and supportive in a way I appreciate. I love books about writing that are informative and unique but … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? November 2025, Part One →

Welcome back to Whatcha Reading! Here’s what we’re reading right now: Lara: I am reading another bananas book: Tender Cruelty by Katee Robert. It’s the next book in the Dark Olympus series and the tension is at a ten the whole time. I need to take breaks from the intensity of it! Susan:  I’m reading volume 3 of Stars of Chaos by priest (m/m steampunk in historical China) and the main couple have kissed! There … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? October 2025, Part One →

Welcome back to Whatcha Reading! Here’s how we’re capping off this month: Sneezy: I’ve been rereading Only Hope. It’s still ongoing, and I’m VERY much not a thriller person, but something about some Will Kill You cinnamon rolls is making my brain happy right now. Lara: I’ve been so lucky with books lately. So many good ones! At the moment, I am knee deep in And Then There Was the One by Martha Waters. It’s … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? September 2025, Part Two →

Welcome back to Whatcha Reading! Here’s how we’re kicking off the month of September: Lara: I’ve totally given in to the impulse to read the rest of the Guild Hunter novels. I’m currently reading Archangel’s Light. This series is big and comforting and cathartic. I’m so thankful to have another quiver to my bow of therapy reads. Good people doing good things, defeating evil and loving each other while they do it. Balm for the … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? September 2025, Part One →
