💃 The Books You Loved in 2024
 | The Veiled Kingdom“The Veiled Kingdom by Holly Renee was not only a riveting fantasy novel, but so short and fast-paced that it's my go-to recommendation for anyone interested in trying out fantasy, but overwhelmed by how thick the book can be. I also thought the story itself was fantastic - rivaling all of the Fourth Wing hype!” — Cynthia |
 | Scotsman in the Stacks“I grew up in Michigan and the tone of this book hit just right - plus the view of Mackinaw and the feel of the place rang true. It's a jaunty fun romance and I loved it.” — Darlene Reilley |
 | Sex, Lies, and Sensibility“I still think about the scene in the tent between the two main characters. It's so sexy and has consent and people taking responsibility. Like you have a hot scene and passion w/o the main couple skipping safe sex. The writing is so good Nikki Payne had me convinced Nora and Bear would not get a HEA, even though I knew how the story was supposed to end being a retelling and all.” — Victoria Hamel |
