Welcome back to Whatcha Reading! This is where we talk about…well, what we’ve been reading. Pretty self-explanatory! Claudia: I’ve started Forever Your Rogue by Erin Langston. I heard good things about it so I’m excited. Lara: I read two books this weekend. A Demon’s Guide to Wooing a Witch by Sarah Hawley which I’ll need a whole review to unpack my feelings on because they’re so mixed. Then I absolutely devoured Katee Robert’s Hunt on … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? October 2023, Part Two→
Welcome back to Whatcha Reading! Here’s how we’re kicking off October: Claudia: I’m reading A Nobleman’s Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel by KJ Charles, after weeks of waiting for my library copy to drop. It’s book 2 of her new series and I’m glad to be back to the marsh (posh side) now. Lara: I’m trying to get myself back on track with my reading challenge after a major diversion into Alice Coldbreath territory. So … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? October 2023, Part One→
We’re wrapping up September with our second Whatcha Reading. We want to know what you’re reading to close out the month. Elyse: I’ve been knitting more than reading lately, but I did just start Salt Kiss by Sierra Simone. Sarah: I have been listening to a book that KJ Charles recommended on the podcast – definitely not a romance: Johannes Cabal the Necromancer. He has a year to collect 100 souls for the devil so … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? September 2023, Part Two→
September is here and that means it’s time for a new Whatcha Reading! We want to hear how you’re kicking off this month, reading-wise. Lara: I’ve returned to old habits and am reading multiple books at once. I’m about halfway through Therese Beharrie’s Ghost in Shining Armor and it’s charming! And then coming in hot, I’m starting Book Lovers by Emily Henry for my book club. It’ll be my first Emily Henry book! Shana: I … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? September 2023, Part One→
Welcome back to Whatcha Reading! It’s our last one for August. Here’s what we’re capping off the month with: Lara: I’m more forgiving when comes to rereading books from the keeper shelf, especially when they divert from my current tastes. Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder has more violence in it than I usually like now, some asshole behavior from the male lead, and less focus on the romance, but I adore this book. And … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? August 2023, Part Two→
Welcome back to Whatcha Reading! This is where we gab about what we’ve been reading lately and we invite you to do the same! Claudia: I’ve just started Marry Me By Midnight by Felicia Grossman, which is a Cinderella retelling in London’s Jewish community in the 1830s! Lara: I’ve just finished the first book for my reading challenge – All In by Simona Ahrnstedt and I loved it! Will definitely be reading the rest of … Continue reading Whatcha Reading?

Welcome back to Whatcha Reading! Here’s what we’re reading during the second half of the month. Shana: I just finished A Tale of Two Florists by Brenna Bailey and it was a delightfully wholesome romance with two older women. Now I’m reading Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner which is very sexy and decidedly less wholesome. Claudia: I’m almost done with A Lady’s Guide to Scandal by Sophie Irwin and enjoying it quite a bit … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? July 2023, Part Two→
Welcome to our first Whatcha Reading post of July 2023! It’s time to talk about what we’ve been reading lately! Claudia: I am reading Appointment in Bath by Mimi Matthews! Hoping to keep my very good book run that included the fantastic The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies and We Could Be So Good! Sarah: I just started Cathy Yardley’s Role Playing and it is DELIGHTFUL. Lara: Claudia, I just finished Appointment in Bath and … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? July 2023, Part One→
Welcome back to Whatcha Reading! We’re wrapping up June with our second Whatcha Reading post of the month. Lara: After a string of DNFs, I’ve resorted to an author I can trust and so far it’s solid: The Last Close Call by Laura Griffin. Her work isn’t going to give me Good Book Noise but I can relax into this book and trust her to deliver a good story. Claudia: I just finished We Could … Continue reading Whatcha Reading?

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→
It’s time to wrap up May with our second Whatcha Reading! It’s also Memorial Day weekend in the States, which seems like a perfect excuse to get even more reading done before the month is over. Sneezy: I’m reading Right Wing Women by Andrea Dworkin. She takes no prisoners. Sarah: What’s that? The library has the next Veronica Speedwell audiobook? Don’t mind if I do! Currently listening to A Murderous Relation and having a splendid … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? May 2023, Part Two→
