🌸 May Reading Wrap-Up: The Middle Shelf ☀️

A little spice, a little sass, and a whole lot of variety—these reads made May just a touch more magical...

1️⃣ "Not Another Love Song" by Julie Soto - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (4.5/5) - A steamy, music-infused romance between a self-taught violinist and a rock star cellist. The chemistry was off the charts, and the musical backdrop added depth to their passionate journey. 🎻🔥🗽

2️⃣ "Puck & Prejudice" by Lia Riley - ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (3.5/5) - A whimsical blend of time-travel and Regency romance. Tucker and Lizzy's unconventional love story, complete with Jane Austen cameos, was both charming and inventive. 🏒⏳️👒

3️⃣ "Swift and Saddled" by Lyla Sage - ⭐️⭐️💫 (2.5/5) - A fast-paced cowboy romance with heat and heart. It had some fun moments, but I found myself wanting a bit more emotional depth and connection from the leads. 💋🏞👨‍🌾

4️⃣ "Love & the Downfall of Society" by Melinda Copp - ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5) - Set in aristocratic Parisian society, this romance explores love, class, and rebellion. The historical backdrop was lovely, and while a few modern sentiments pulled me out of the story, it still offered some sharp insights and charm. ✒️🗼🎩

Oof. Not a great month for me 😭. Had som really awesome reads, but because of life things and a pretty bad reading slump, the last 2 months have not been great. I think for April, I am just going to see where the wind takes me and skip the TBR jar until May. We’ll see! I hope your reading habits ha

I had another decent month! Though I did have 2 DNFs (I absolutely NEVER DNF a book) I just didn't resonate with those 2 books, and 6 okay. I was in a complete funk for this month, until I hit Sinners Retreat. I absolutely NEEDED that laugh. It's a must read if you need a good freaking laug
