A Sign of Affection is so cute! This whole series has given me all the cute, fluffy moments between Yuki and Itsuomi. It's also fun learning some sign language from it as well. I can't wait for the next volume to come out. #readersoflemon8 #manga #asignofaffection #romancemanga

I’ve been alternating between cozy romantic and steamy manga. If you’re not into visual spicy scenes, I recommend you avoid the manga. It’s gets graphic 😬 #bookreccomendation #romancemanga #books #kindlerecommendations #lemon8bookclub

Two of my recent reads that I loved. We Hunt the Flame is about Zafira, a hunter, and Nasir, an assassin both seeking the same prize in an attempt to return magic. It is an amazing tale about conquering fear and taking your identity into your own hands. I’m excited to read the sequel ⭐️Overall
