I read an early copy of The Academy. It was so good - blew all my expectations outta our the water good.

I’m doing the same thing — “New Lily King! New Lily King!” It’s kinda embarrassing but what can you do, it’s not a matter of choice. I. Cannot. Wait.

Highly highly recommend Consider Yourself Kissed — so smart and funny and satisfying!

I read everyone is lying to you early and thought it was a really fun read! A great light and over the top thriller for the beach or pool this summer.

Liz Gilbert is my favorite author! I'm so excited to read her memoir, I got tickets for her book release event in nyc! I read "Writers and Lovers" in 2020 and loved it so much. Which of her books would you recommend I read next? Thank you for this amazing roundup!

Try Euphoria - but know it's totally different than W&L

I was so fortunate to read an advance of the new Lily King and it's my new favorite of hers - 5 shining stars!

The Listeners is yet another adult debut by a YA author, Maggie Stiefvater - so interesting to see how many there are right now! I'd loved her YA books in high school and college, and am also very NOT into WWII fiction but am going to give hers a try. Hoping it has the same unique writing style as her YA books that I so loved.

Did not know Lily King had a new book coming out!! Cannot wait. Added Happiness & Love as well because I will read anything set in NYC, a place full of memories of both happiness and love for me.

I'm so excited for Let’s Make A Scene! Laura Wood absolutely does not get the love she should - I'm doing an upcoming spotlight on her over at Smart Romance and cannot wait to introduce more readers to A Sky Painted Gold! I wish I could go back and read it for the first time again myself!

I have to know more about Alchemised! I’ve heard of Manacled and even considered for a brief second reading it despite not being into fan fic.

Alchemised is the same as Manacled with light changes so as not to impede on HP IP.

Laura Wood’s first adult romance (can’t remember the title, too excited to recommend to open another tab) is also a lovely read - can recommend it as a great summer read ☀️
