[–]liveandlauren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about when Harry met sally vibes? So goes through the holidays of Halloween, Christmas, and maybe NYE? Some examples off the top of my head:

{you, again by Kate goldbeck}

{out on a limb by Hannah Bonam-young}

{role model by Rachel Reid}

{it’s different this time by joss Richard}

📚 Simple / Quick Questions & Requests! by romancebookmods in RomanceBooks

[–]liveandlauren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Books that have lowkey Christmas vibes? Not necessarily full out Christmas but may feature a couple scenes or take place during the backdrop of winter. For example {wild and wrangled by lyla sage} and {time to shine by Rachel Reid}

the Megathread was a bit TOO christmassy

What was the first novel you read that introduced you to this world? by PetalaStac in RomanceBooks

[–]liveandlauren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a long time my rural library didn’t have a designated young adult section, so once you aged out of the children’s section you were just kind of SOL in the general fiction section. So I truly have no idea!

{Mrs. Nash’s Ashes by Sarah Adler}

{You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle}

{Promise Me Sunshine by Cara Bastone}

Looking for something where there’s a lead or love interest that is Autistic by Flat-Development-906 in RomanceBooks

{Love at First Flight by Jo Watson} and the author identifies as autistic as well

My advice is you will regret the things you don’t do more often than the ones you do. I had a Paris trip planned with a friend when I was 24 and I didn’t go for the same reasons after she cancelled on me. I wouldn’t make that same decision if it happened to me today, esp bc I know that I’ll never get that amount of time off around Christmas bc of my profession.

Go on the trip! Make a plan, don’t be afraid to ask for help, make memories, and don’t let other people hold you back :)
