Review // My Killer Vacation
The newest release from one of my all-time favorite auto-buy authors, Tessa Bailey, My Killer Vacation is a rom-com and murder mystery rolled into one.
Review // Set on You
Set on You, Amy Lea’s debut, is a steamy, witty, and emotionally resonant enemies-to-lovers rom-com that became an instant favorite as soon as I finished it.
![29 books I read and loved between June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022 because I’m 29 today ✨ this was actually supposed to be a stack of 28 books I loved and read while 28 but I miscounted and didn’t realize I’d used 29 books until after I’d already taken the photos, put all the books away, edited the photos, etc., so now it’s a birthday stack. And yes, I was terrified this stack was going to topple over at any moment. See any of your favorites?
