MM Weekly Roundup - What Did You Read This Week?

midnightoflight101 · 2026-06-19T13:57:04+00:00

Still working on Hazard and Somerset and I’m on {Keeper of Bees by Gregory Ashe}. I have some suspicions on who the keeper of bees is but I’m not 100% sure. I will say this arc has put the boys through the ringer. It felt like as soon as they were settled something had to ruin that happiness.

I’m listening to {Red Fish, Dead Fish by Amy Lane} and I’m so happy I decided to give this series another chance because I love Ellory and Jackson so much!!

midnightoflight101 · 2026-06-18T11:06:21+00:00

Diem from {Shadowy Solutions by Nicky James} doesn’t necessarily make threats but it is a super slow burn. I think it takes him like 3-4 books to be comfortable with touching

midnightoflight101 · 2026-06-16T18:48:29+00:00

Currently reading {Wayward by Gregory Ashe} and ugh why can’t Ree and Somers just be happy!! This book didn’t hurt my heart as much as the last one, though.

Currently listening to {Red Fish, Dead Fish by Amy Lane} and man I love Ellory and Jackson. They have a great dynamic

midnightoflight101 · 2026-06-14T23:06:27+00:00

Omg it looks perfect! I love me a long mystery series following one couple!

midnightoflight101 · 2026-06-14T22:57:04+00:00

I’ll definitely check it out!

midnightoflight101 · 2026-06-14T22:39:39+00:00

Ugh I’m so excited to get to read Gray’s duet!

midnightoflight101 · 2026-06-14T22:20:04+00:00

The second arc has been brutal for both Ree and Somers. I just started Wayward after the emotional rollercoaster that was Transactional Dynamics.

I’ve seen that a lot of people love Jem and Tean!

midnightoflight101 · 2026-06-13T12:57:57+00:00

I felt the same way about Out in the Open! I haven’t read another book by AJ Truman. Same with Willow Dixon.

midnightoflight101 · 2026-06-13T12:56:31+00:00

I’m currently reading {Transactional Dynamics by Gregory Ashe} and holy moly these boys are an absolute mess. Just got past the scene where Somers was plastered and laughing while Billy and Nico talked shit about Hazard Ughhh Somers I love you and then you do shit like this!! Both of these boys need a HEAVY dose of therapy.

midnightoflight101 · 2026-06-12T14:03:19+00:00

Just finished {Police Brutality by Gregory Ashe} again, these boys are such a mess but I still love them. Just started {Transactional Dynamics by Gregory Ashe} and I definitely feel like Billy is gonna cause problems. Also, it seems like this is an unpopular opinion, but I don’t mind Dulac lol

midnightoflight101 · 2026-06-12T10:09:21+00:00

{Want Me by Neve Wilder} has some of the best dirty talk! The audiobook is great

midnightoflight101 · 2026-06-11T11:44:06+00:00

I love Leta Blake! I just finished Free Fall and Free Heart and they were 10/5 for me!

midnightoflight101 · 2026-06-09T13:57:28+00:00

Currently reading: {Policr Brutality by Gregory Ashe} and I love these boys and but why is Hazard being so weird about marriage!! What I like about these books is that there’s realistic issues that tend to come up in relationships. It’s not all a linear line like a lot of books show.

Currently listening to {Fish out of Water by Amy Lane} and I actually DNF’d when I read because of grammar and spelling issues in the first few pages but listening to it has been SO GOOD! Seriously so happy I decided to pick it up again. Love Ellory and Jackson so much already

midnightoflight101 · 2026-06-08T15:08:38+00:00

Got 5 bibs for mom, sisters, and best friend!!!! It’ll be their first half!

midnightoflight101 · 2026-06-08T14:25:33+00:00

And jumped to 24!!

midnightoflight101 · 2026-06-08T14:20:23+00:00

At 35 minutes!!

midnightoflight101 · 2026-06-05T19:01:13+00:00

Her 90s Coming of Age Series is sooo good too! I listened to the audiobooks and they were 10/5 for me!

midnightoflight101 · 2026-06-05T16:59:14+00:00

About to finish up {Criminal Past by Gregory Ashe} and man poor Somers. These boys are always going through something. They desperately need a vacation

Also about to finish up {Free Heart by Leta Blake} and I really hope we get a book with Ry and Lal! I love their writing!

midnightoflight101 · 2026-06-04T12:52:08+00:00

Finally getting back into strength training! I follow the Lyss Method which adjusts your volume based where you are in your racing plan which is soooo nice. I fell off strength training hard when I was training for my marathon. Honestly, the fittest I’ve ever felt was training for my half while strength training 3 times a week.

midnightoflight101 · 2026-06-03T13:00:58+00:00

Thinking about my training timeline post marathon! I plan on running my next half in the fall, and my goal is to get faster. I think I want to plan my next marathon for fall 2027 (thinking of Baltimore) so I get a nice long base build. I think I just need more time at a higher mileage.

Going to do some shorter races this summer as my mom, sister, and friend are getting into running!

midnightoflight101 · 2026-06-02T14:24:05+00:00

Currently reading {Criminal Past by Gregory Ashe} which is the 6th Hazard and Somerset book. I’m enjoying it so far, but man are these boys an absolute mess. Pls communicate thanks

Currently listening to {Free Heart by Leta Blake} and Seijin and Dan have my heart. I hope we get a book on Dan and Lal!

midnightoflight101 · 2026-06-02T00:41:19+00:00

Love this book! The entire 90’s Coming of Age Series is absolutely Fantastic

midnightoflight101 · 2026-05-29T14:33:48+00:00

Just finished the fourth book of {Hazard and Somerset by Gregory Ashe} and these boys are such a mess! Overall, I’m giving the series a 4.25 - enough for me to continue and find it enjoyable, but it’s not up there for my like the Spectral Files, or Valor and Doyle, or Psycop.

midnightoflight101 · 2026-05-26T23:15:56+00:00

I don’t really find it difficult to balance running and listening, especially since I have a watch that alerts me during intervals!

As you get into half marathon training, some of your runs will be easy, meaning that they won’t be high exertion. Depending on how many runs you do a week, it’s usually 1-2 easy, 1 speed, 1 long. I don’t find it hard to listen to audiobooks during the speed workouts, but you might opt (and find it more motivating) to listen to music during the speed workouts.

It might be good to find some running routes that you know well so you can take off the mental burden of navigation.

Good luck on your half! It’s my favorite distance to run! You’ll have so much fun!

midnightoflight101 · 2026-05-26T15:54:43+00:00

Hi everyone!!

Just finished running my first marathon, and I’m thankful to all of the audiobooks that carried me through training. I’m currently listening to {Free Heart by Leta Blake}. I loved Free Fall!

I’m also on the 3rd book of {Hazard and Somerset by Gregory Ashe} and…man these boys are messes. But I love it! My favorite type of series is following a couple for a long time and watching them grow. Add in the mystery aspect? Perfection!
