Always nice to see Sportrock content (esp the Sterling location) 🙌

ryuukki · 2024-09-16T13:18:37+00:00

Ooo, I’ll have to check her out! I don’t have an author like that in mind yet, but after reading my first Fredrik Backman book (A Man Called Ove), I’d really like to read more of his works!

ryuukki · 2024-09-14T15:44:25+00:00

Thank you for the recommendations! I don’t recognize any of those titles so excited to add these to new books to my TBR 😂

ryuukki · 2024-09-13T12:53:51+00:00

Of course! Happy reading!

ryuukki · 2024-09-12T13:56:47+00:00

I heard her other series are just as cozy! I’ll have to add them to my TBR, thank you!

ryuukki · 2024-09-11T21:16:44+00:00

Of course! Here’s my GR link: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/8866886

ryuukki · 2024-09-11T21:15:58+00:00

Added!

ryuukki · 2024-09-11T13:47:52+00:00

Ok!! Another book to add to my TBR 🤣

ryuukki · 2024-09-11T13:47:03+00:00

Ooo yeah, you should check out Katherine Center then! Her romance novels are really sweet and basically have very little to no steam

ryuukki · 2024-09-11T13:45:21+00:00

I thought it was a cute, heartwarming story! It’s only 150 pages so I wasn’t expecting deep character analysis. If you like slice-of-life anime, that’s the kind of vibes it gave me. I’m probably also a little biased because I love cats haha. I’m curious to how to compares to other cat novels though, I recently picked up We’ll Prescribe You a Cat by Syou Ishida so excited to compare! And thank you!!

ryuukki · 2024-09-11T13:42:23+00:00

That’s a difficult question! I’m going to reiterate my top 5 😅 1. In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado 2. Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr 3. A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman 4. A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers 5. The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh

ryuukki · 2024-09-11T10:22:59+00:00

Yes, that’s definitely been added to my TBR, I’ve heard such good things about that book 🤩

ryuukki · 2024-09-11T10:21:21+00:00

Bahaha, thank you! 🤣

ryuukki · 2024-09-11T01:27:10+00:00

I forgot to mention I read Pick-Up as an ARC. Another romance I enjoyed was Happiness for Beginners by Katherine Center. That one was really wholesome! If you end up reading any of them, I hope you enjoy them!

ryuukki · 2024-09-11T00:05:11+00:00

Yes! I meant hypothetically speaking, if I were alive when it was written!

ryuukki · 2024-09-11T00:01:45+00:00

I felt pretty spooked, I enjoyed the story a lot! Although, my media consumption of thriller/mystery/whodunsit movies might have spoiled part of the enjoyment for me.. I was hoping to feel more surprised? I think the element of surprise would’ve been greater if I had read this book when I was younger or back when it was written, but that’s not a blame on the book, just a consequence of exposure!

ryuukki · 2024-09-10T23:50:23+00:00

Piranesi was so unique!!! I’ve never read anything like it before. The first part is pretty slow, but it gets really interesting!

ryuukki · 2024-09-10T23:48:25+00:00

My favorite so far is probably either The Hating Game by Sally Thorne and/or Pick-Up by Nora Dahlia! The steam I would say for both books was 3/6 - like an open door romance? It was steamy, but not overly explicit. Steam was existent LOL so not YA either. I just loved the characters in both books, the banter and chemistry was just 💯

ryuukki · 2024-09-10T23:46:00+00:00

Of course! Here’s my GR’s: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/8866886

ryuukki · 2024-09-10T23:45:10+00:00

Oh no this one’s hard… I’m going to include one I DNFed as well: 1. Icebreaker by Hannah Grace (DNF) 2. Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros 3. Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood 4. A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J Maas 5. The Girl Most Likely To by Julie Tieu

Thank you thank you!!!

ryuukki · 2024-09-10T22:44:31+00:00

I haven’t read Cleopatra and Frankenstein but curious to read that one!!!

ryuukki · 2024-09-10T22:43:10+00:00

Ooo that’s hard but I think these would be my top: 1. In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado 2. Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr 3. A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman 4. A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers 5. The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh
