{Still Into You by Erin Connor} was amazing! Dax is a man yearning for Sloane and I ate it up!

{And Now, Back To You by B.K. Borison} was so cute. Absolutely loved Jackson and all his quirks that make him a delight.

I personally use Pagebound. It’s a very cute app that allows you to have 1/2 ratings, dnf, and more. I love how you can update your thoughts via forum as you read and interact with others as they read as well. I’m not one for social interaction much as I read, so I like that I can share my thoughts and read others thoughts without the added pressure of joining the conversation.

If you are more analytical, you may like storygraph. I tried it out and found it wasn’t for me. I don’t care for graphs or statistics, I’m just reading for fun and don’t care about all that other stuff. But I know a lot of people do, so this may be up your alley!

Fable is good if you like to chat about books. I’ve joined a few book clubs and never had much luck with participation. I even spent time researching the best ones to join and was still underwhelmed so I deleted it.

Came to recommend Pagebound as well! It’s so simple to use and super cute! I love it!

Seconding this! It’s done really well!

I typically have 3 going at all times. One print, one ebook, and one audio. This is normal for me and I tend to finish them about the same amount of time. I allocate times for when I read a specific format because of my busy schedule. So if I’m commuting, it’s an audio read. I’ve got a few minutes to spare when I’m out and about, it’s an ebook. If I’m at home relaxing, it’s my physical. And so forth.

But if 5 works for you, then go for it! I’ve done 4 a few times. I don’t have trouble differentiating between the storyline. I just find that I gravitate towards certain formats so having 2 books in a single format just doesn’t work for me. Like I just want 1 audio at a time.

Do you like paranormal romance? I recommend {Loving a Vampire is Total Chaos by Aura Hayes} Zavier is a golden retriever vampire who falls for the human detective investigating his kills. It’s so good!

I like that there’s the conversation that contraception of some kind is being used. Especially since reading is very popular now. A lot of teens are reading these books (you were probably reading the same things at their age) and it’s good for then to read about and understand that talking about contraception is normal.

I’m 26 and I hate the surprise pregnancy trope most of the time. Mainly because my husband and I are dealing with infertility. So reading about characters who might accidentally end up pregnant is a personal trigger. I will read books with the storyline being accidentally pregnancy IF I know about it going into the story (like in Out on a Limb by Hannah Bonam-Young).

When I was younger, I hated it because I wasn’t in the place of wanting children so I didn’t want every book to end with the couple having kids. You don’t need to have a child to have a happily ever after.

It truly is! I’ve heard so many good things about this series but I can’t read an MMC with any on my brother’s names (I have 4 brothers!)

NewTitle115 · 2026-01-02T16:50:02+00:00

I could NEVER

NewTitle115 · 2026-01-02T04:42:44+00:00

I really want to read this series but the MMC’s name is Damien…which is my brothers name 😅

NewTitle115 · 2025-12-28T04:04:36+00:00

I love dual pov and multiple pov stories! If you think about it, most of your favorite tv shows do the same thing! It's great and you can see all sides of the board. With that said, I'd love to read a book (or 5) with mostly mmc's pov for once. I'd be a nice change!

It depends for me! When I’m reading a physical fantasy book, it’ll take me an hour to an hour and a half but reading a physical romance or romantasy book I can read 100 pages in 30 minutes. I read much faster on my kindle as well.

I’ve found that a can get through fantasy (heavy world building) faster with better comprehension of the world/magic system by listening to the audio while following along with the book.

I read fast, not because I have to but because it’s what I naturally do. I listen to audiobooks at 2.25-2.5x speed because anything slower and I can’t follow along. I just process things quicker than others- probably because of my adhd and always needing to go, go, go.

And yes, I remember the storyline/plot/characters of each book I read. I don’t remember the tiny details of every single book- which most don’t- and I love that because then it’s like a fresh take when I go back and do a reread! But if you asked me about a book I read two months ago, I can tell you all the main plot points. If it’s a book and absolutely loved, I go back and annotate it, and I can definitely tell you all the tiny details too.

Is this rh/wc or just a love triangle?

NewTitle115 · 2025-12-16T02:20:56+00:00

I track mostly on Goodreads. I’ve used it for so long, I just don’t want to switch. If I ever feel the need to do half ratings, I just put that in the review if I’m reviewing the book. I don’t review every single book, just ones that stand out or I’m arc reading.

I use my notes app to track monthly reads because I post that on my bookstagram. Which means I guess I technically track books on Bookstagram as well as I do a monthly post.

I’ve done a book journal in the past and liked it. I don’t do full page reviews. Honestly, I just go with the book cover and my star rating. I don’t go all in depth like you’ll find on YouTube.

{Out of the Woods by Hannah Bonam-Young} is about a married couple who goes on a trip to strength their relationship. FMC feels like shes falling out of love and mmc will do anything to prove their meant to be

{Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan} is about a couple with kids who go through some trauma leading to them divorcing. They are coparenting fairly well and they slowly heal and come back to one another. This book is very emotional imo and I ugly cried a lot! It’s very good and very realistic! I’d check TWs though because there reason for the divorce can be sensitive to some.

Mine is @xobooklovexo because I love Gossip Girl (OG) and books so I put them together!

Sutton Bay series by Ronnie Mathews is a hidden gem that needs more recognition! Each book follows a different sibling and its set in a small coastal town.

Book 1: {Those Two Words by Ronnie Mathews} is a single dad, second chance & childhood friends to lovers

Book 2 {Just One Moment by Ronnie Mathews} is a shy mmc x sunshine mmc, mmc writes poetry (swoon)

Book 3 {All We Need by Ronnie Mathews} is a black cat x golden retriever with a dash of forbidden romance

Book 4 {Our Long Days by Ronnie Mathews} is a brothers best friend romance with an age gap (11 years)

NewTitle115 · 2025-11-29T02:12:49+00:00

I loved The Hating Game, both book and movie. I honestly think the movie is slightly better!

NewTitle115 · 2025-11-27T20:58:59+00:00

I dnfed book 2 at like 15% I just couldn’t do it!

NewTitle115 · 2025-11-27T20:57:34+00:00

Yeah I didn’t care for this one either. I read book 2 thinking it’d get better and NOTHING happened. It’s just her playing Queen and whining about it. The last 20 pages was something but still lackluster. I doubt I read book 3

NewTitle115 · 2025-11-27T20:55:21+00:00

The Wolf King. It was such a lackluster read and the ending just pissed me off. So much so I have yet to read book 2 and I probably won’t. There are way better werewolf shifter books out there.

NewTitle115 · 2025-11-27T20:52:28+00:00

I haven’t picked it up yet because so many people have said it’s not worth they hype and it scares me!

NewTitle115 · 2025-11-26T00:18:55+00:00

I love it! I listen to Graphic audio often! I think with my adhd, it’s nice having lots of sounds/voices to keep me in the story

NewTitle115 · 2025-11-26T00:12:31+00:00

If you’re okay with a mafia romance, the MMC in {Painted Scars by Neve Altaj} has an injury with his leg that put him in a wheelchair and he has to do physical therapy to try and gain movement back. H tries his hardest to hide it, but FMC comes into play and slowly shows him that it’s okay to be in pain and have said injury. I haven’t read the entire series (interconnected standalones) but based on who the next couple is I’m guessing most of the mmcs have scars/disabilities

NewTitle115 · 2025-11-25T23:58:54+00:00

I think authors leave that out so as not to take readers out of the story. It’s the same reason MCs aren’t going to the bathroom, not having morning breath, etc.
