@willaful To be fair, I was not that impressed with the first two in the series - I wouldn't even have picked this up if the second ("Wildfire") hadn't been better than the first IMO. Grace is a competent writer, I suspect she's just not telling the kind of story I'm looking to read. @bookstodon @romancebooks
@willaful I seem to have hit a bunch of sports books; Iām reading Grace Reillyās āWicked Serveā which is fourth in a series, this one a volleyball player and a hockey player. Just finished listening to Hannah Graceās āDaydreamā which wasnāt really for me; it felt more like it was for people who liked Graceās last two and just want to hang out with the characters for 11 hours (or 400+ pages, depending on how you read). The pace is glacial. @bookstodon @romancebooks
@willaful Now thatās done Iām picking up Chanel Cleetonās āFly With Meā which I havenāt read enough of to talk about yetā¦@romancebooks
@willaful oh, Iāve got that on my ālook out forā list. Actual characters of my age is a major selling point. Iām listening to Susan Leeās āThe Name Dropā which started delightfully but is reaching the hard part of the plot now. @romancebooks
@willaful I just finished reading Serena Bellās āHott Takeā, the second in her āHott Springs Eternalā series; itās a good fake engagement/marriage of convenience book, definitely not the expected resolution of the āfaking itā part, but really sweet characters. Bellās Rush Creek setting is a fun place to go back to, as well. @romancebooks
@willaful I'm listening to Rebecca Yarros's "The Things We Leave Unfinished" which has an interesting dual timeline structure, 1940 and present day, but I'm still not sure I care about the present-day characters very much. Reading Tarah DeWitt's "Savor It" in which not much is happening but I could read the characters (especially the FMC) bantering *all day*. I like the style. @romancelandia @romancebooks
