Pride Month | LGBTQ Book Recommendations

- Bunny 1 Comment

Hi Friends,
June is practically over, but before it ends, I want to celebrate Pride Month by giving you some LGBTQ book recommendations. These are books that I absolutely love and would recommend not just for this time of year, but to read any time.

If This Gets Out by Cale Dietrich and Sophie Gonzales
This is such a cute male/male romance about two members of a very popular boy band. Think One Direction, but two of the members fall in love. There were so many things I enjoyed about this book, especially how it touches on the topic of coming out and how scary that can be. It’s a really sweet read, and I definitely recommend it. It’s YA, so there isn’t really any spice in it.

Cinderella Is Dead by Kalynn Bayron
This is a YA Cinderella retelling that isn’t just a sapphic romance, but also about standing up for yourself as a woman and not letting men control your life. It’s about fighting for your rights and learning to be yourself, even when you’ve been raised to believe in a certain fairytale. I really liked both the romance and the story overall. In my opinion, it’s such a fun, modern twist on Cinderella.

You, Again by Kate Goldbeck
I absolutely adore this book! It’s one of my all-time favorite grumpy-sunshine romances. The story follows a man and a woman who keep running into each other over the years and eventually decide to start a friendship. The main female character is bisexual and very open about her sexuality. I loved everything about this story and will never stop recommending it. The cover might give off fall vibes, but trust me, this book is great for summer reading too.

Delilah Green Doesn’t Care by Ashley Herring Blake
This kicks off a sapphic romance series with interconnected standalones. I really enjoyed Delilah and Clare’s connection and watching them fall for each other. Honestly, once you finish this book, you’ll want to binge the entire series. It’s such a quick read, and if you’re looking for a sapphic romance with some spice, this is definitely one to pick up.

Margo Zimmerman Gets the Girl by Brianna R. Shrum & Sara Waxelbaum
This has to be one of the best sapphic YA stories I’ve read. I loved both main characters and how the story focused on figuring out your sexuality. One thing I really appreciated was the message that you don’t have to look or act a certain way to be part of the LGBTQ community. The representation is amazing. One of the main characters is autistic. Just a heads-up, though: this book includes one of the most well-written spicy scenes I’ve ever read in a YA book.

Summer 2025 Book Sale | My Top Picks

- Bunny 1 Comment

Hi Friends,
Once again, Amazon is having their Buy One, Get One 50% Off book sale. Just like in the past, I’m going to share the books I’d definitely recommend picking up while they’re part of this deal. Since June is my birthday month, I’m actually trying not to buy any books, so I won’t be participating in the sale, but I still wanted to give you my recommendations.

Silver Elite by Dani Francis
This is the first book in a dystopian romance series, so it’s definitely giving Hunger Games and Divergent era vibes. There’s been a lot of talk in the book community about this one, but most of it is about the author, not the book itself. From what I’ve heard, the book is amazing and getting great reviews. Since it’s on sale, I’d definitely recommend grabbing it if you’ve been curious about the hype.

One Golden Summer by Carly Fortune
It’s summertime, so what’s better than a summer romance? This one seems like it has a little more depth than your typical romcom, which I love. I believe it’s a friends-to-lovers story and follows Alice, who spends the summer with her Nan at a lakeside cottage, just like they did one summer when she was a teenager. She ends up connecting with a man named Charlie, who happened to be the subject of a photo she took all those summers ago.

Summer Romance by Annabelle Monaghan
I haven’t read anything by this author before, but I’ve heard she writes closed-door romances that are perfect for summer. This book sounds like a quick and easy seasonal read. It follows a single mom who’s just trying to get her messy life back on track and I’m always here for that kind of story.

Hide by Kiersten White
This is a thriller I’ve been dying to read. It sounds like the perfect summer suspense novel. It’s set in an abandoned amusement park and centers around a competition. I love throwing a thriller into my summer reading because it breaks up all the romances and gives me those Summerween vibes.

Happy Place by Emily Henry
I definitely don’t need another copy, but if I were recommending just one amazing summer read to grab during the sale, it would be this one. I truly think you need to be in your late 20s to early 30s to fully appreciate it. It’s a wonderful second-chance romance with strong themes of friendship and growing up. I loved it.
Related Post: Happy Place | Book Review

Seven Days in June by Tia Williams
Obviously, the title screams perfect June read. I’ve been so intrigued by this one, and if I were shopping the sale, this would be in my cart. I’ve heard nothing but good things. It follows two writers who get a second chance at love, and it’s set in New York City, basically the ultimate summer romance setting.

There you have it—a few books I recommend checking out. Take a look at the synopses to see if any interest you, and maybe you can grab them while they’re part of the deal. If you enjoyed this post, please give it a like and share it with other readers. Your support means a lot to me, so if you could sign up for my mailing list, that would be amazing.

Reads For Fans Of | Ginny and Georgia

- Bunny Leave a comment

Hi Friends,
Last week, the Netflix original series Ginny & Georgia premiered season three. Now, I’ve seen the show off and on, but I’ve never fully watched the series. However, I do know that this season was messy, and the edits you can find on TikTok show just how intense it was. As a reader, of course I had to do some digging to find books to add to my TBR that give off Ginny & Georgia vibes. So if you’re a fan of the show or just looking for books with mother-daughter relationships, a bit of mystery, and small-town vibes, keep reading.

The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave

A cryptic note reading “Protect her” is all that remains when Owen, Hannah’s husband, disappears. Hannah believes it refers to Bailey, her stepdaughter, who wants nothing to do with her. As secrets come to light and agents begin investigating, Hannah and Bailey set out to uncover Owen’s true identity. But discovering the truth about his past could change their future forever.

Why Read:
• It has a complex mother-daughter relationship. Although it’s between a stepmother and stepdaughter, it still mirrors Ginny and Georgia’s dynamic.

• Like Georgia in the TV series, a major theme in this book is dealing with a parent with a secret past.

• It’s an emotional thriller. Just like the show, it’s not really about what they did and how, but more about the why. A big theme in both the series and this book is making hard choices to protect the ones you love.

Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng

Set in 1970s Ohio, the Lee family begins to fall apart after the death of their daughter, Lydia. Her passing exposes buried family secrets and long-held tensions. The story explores identity, family, and the deep need for understanding.

Why Read:
• The daughter in this book is trying to figure out who she is and doesn’t feel like she fits in with her family. She struggles a lot with her identity, which really mirrors Ginny, especially in the first season.

• From what I know, the mother in this book has a few similarities to Georgia. She pushes and does what she can for her daughter, but doesn’t realize that maybe her actions aren’t always the best. Love and damage seem to go hand in hand with her character.

• This is also an emotional mystery. It isn’t super fast-paced, but as the story unfolds, different layers of the mystery are revealed. A major theme is the cost of silence and family secrets, which isn’t too different from the show.

Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng

Mia Warren and daughter Pearl rent from Elena Richardson in Shaker Heights. Secrets and clashing values unravel the community as the Warrens and Richardsons become entangled. A custody battle splits the town, pitting the two families against each other with unforeseen consequences. It’s a gripping story about motherhood, identity, and the illusion of control.

Why Read:
• This book features a mother-daughter relationship that, from what I gather, is a lot like Ginny and Georgia’s. Mia and her daughter Pearl have a close yet strained relationship. Mia keeps secrets from Pearl for her own good, which is very similar to what Georgia does with her kids.

• Pearl’s character, from what I’ve read, seems a lot like Ginny because she has to carry the weight of her mother’s choices.

• Just like in the show, every character in this book has their own secrets, regrets, and moral dilemmas. Everyone is facing their own battles in one way or another.

There you have it, three books to read if you’re a fan of the Netflix series Ginny & Georgia. Bonus: two of these books have been adapted into TV series as well. So if you’re not a reader, you can check out The Last Thing He Told Me on Apple TV and Little Fires Everywhere on Hulu.

Mother’s Day | Book Recommendations

- Bunny Leave a comment

Hi Friends,
Happy Mother’s Day! I’m not a mom yet, but I hope to be one in the near future. But I love to read, so here are some Mother’s Day book recommendations! I know you’re likely celebrating with family today, but if you have a free moment or two, consider picking up one of these books.

First-Time Caller by BK Borison
Inspired by Sleepless in Seattle, this heartwarming book features a single mother as the female protagonist. I adored the mother-daughter relationship in the book, and the plot about her finding love again was awesome!

Heartless by Elsie Silver
This single-dad romance features a female lead who becomes a more prominent mother figure to the child than his biological mother. Honestly, I loved how she fell for the father, but cared for his son first. Also, the romance is super steamy, and I loved how it ended!
Related Post: Heartless | Book Review

Reckless by Elsie Silver
I’m obsessed with this accidental pregnancy story. Seeing the two leads become parents was great, and their connection was electric right away! Despite some negative opinions on surprise pregnancy books, this one is very well done.

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna
The female main character is recruited to train three young witches and becomes someone they can rely on. Despite not being their biological mother, she grows to care for them. The found family dynamic in this book was wonderful, especially the bond she developed with the girls. Also, a romance develops between the female protagonist and the girl’s father-figure guardian, which is lovely.

I hope you enjoyed this post and discovered a book recommendation perfect for unwinding after your Mother’s Day, regardless of how calm or hectic it was. Please like and share this post with fellow readers. Plus, I’m celebrating all of you, whether you’re a mom in the traditional sense or a mother figure. Mothers come in many forms, including fur moms, those hoping to be moms, and almost moms, such as women who have experienced a loss through miscarriage or other heartbreaks. So, if you’ve shown the love and care of a mother to someone, then you deserve to be celebrated.

Until The Next Chapter,
Bunny

Be My Valentine | Book Recommendations

- Bunny Leave a comment

Hi Friends,
I wanted to share some book recommendations perfect for Valentine’s Day! However, I didn’t want these recs to be filled with only romance books because I know that there are so many types of readers. Some people might only read mystery/thrillers while others prefer fantasy, which is why I create this list with many readers in mind.

The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose

I think this mystery thriller would be a fun Valentine’s Day read. The story follows a woman whose husband stands accused of murdering his lover. Her role now is to defend her husband in court, literally acting as his attorney in the case brought against him. I’ve only read one of this author’s books, and although I wasn’t crazy about it, I’ve heard great things about this one. There’s also a film adaptation in progress, and a sequel book coming soon.

One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid

To be completely honest, I wasn’t a fan of this book. However, it’s a great Valentine’s Day read if you want something emotional with a happy-ish ending. Emma, in the book, ends up marrying her high school sweetheart Jesse. Following Jesse’s unexpected death, Emma returns home and eventually begins a relationship with a former friend. But then, surprise—Jess is alive and wants Emma back, except Emma’s moved on. This book is a total emotional rollercoaster!

Happily Never After by Lynn Painter

This romcom has a unique twist: the FMC is cynical about love and relationships. To rescue people from terrible marriages, Sophie and Max become a wedding-objecting pair. If you’re a girl who likes witty banter and quick, not-too-mushy romances, you’ll love this book. It’s a friends-to-lovers story with some steamy scenes—if you’re okay with that, it’s a good read!
Related Post: Happily Never After | Book Review

Lonely Hearts Day by Kasie West

This quick YA novella takes place on Valentine’s Day. Scarlett’s not anti-Valentine’s Day, but she’d rather celebrate being single. So, enlisting the help of her longtime best friend, Jack, she hosts a party for all the single students at their high school. However, the undeniable spark between Jack and Scarlett complicates her independent, single identity. This sounds like the perfect lighthearted teen romance to me!

Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber

I think the book title practically shouts “fairytale romance”. This young adult romantasy novel, the first in a trilogy, continues the story of the Prince of Hearts from the Caraval series. This book promises an incredible romance intertwined with a fascinating fantasy story! If you’re looking for a fantasy romance this Valentine’s Day, this book is for you.

Holiday Books | KU Edition

- Bunny Leave a comment

Hi Friends,
Happy Bookmas Day Four! Today, I’m sharing a post all about new holiday book releases! I could easily tell you about the many amazing traditionally published holiday books that have recently come out. Or, I could tell you about just as many that are set to be released this winter. But today, I want to focus on supporting indie authors, instead. So, here are some holiday releases I’m excited to dive into this winter—all of which are available with a Kindle Unlimited subscription. Let’s show our love for indie authors!


Santa’s Coming by Serena Pier
Released: October 24, 2024
This is the first book in a series of novellas, and it’s a single mom romance—definitely not something I usually read. It features an instant-connection, strangers-to-lovers holiday romance with playful banter and plenty of Santa role-playing. And yes, it’s spicy! I think this will be a quick, steamy read that I’ll absolutely love.


Pine Creek Lodge by Lynette McCornan
Released: November 10, 2024
First off, the cover of this book is stunning, which immediately caught my attention. But when I found out it’s a sapphic Christmas romance, I knew I had to add it to my TBR. The tropes include rich-meets-poor, forced proximity, and (I believe) grumpy-sunshine vibes. I can’t wait to dive into this one!


When the Fake Snow Falls by Heather Garvin
Released: November 15, 2024
I love a good old-fashioned fake dating story, and when you add winter magic into the mix, you’ve got the makings of an amazing read. In this book, Chase enlists Candace to be his fake girlfriend for the holidays. There’s witty banter, an open-door romance, and while it’s a slow burn (not my favorite), it ticks off so many of my favorite romance trope boxes that I’m sure I’ll enjoy it!


Naughty Or Nice by Sophie Snow
Released: November 19, 2024
This holiday novella was one I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of! It features some of my favorite tropes, including age gap, small-town romance, and—yes—a Santa kink. At under 200 pages, it’s quick and spicy. Oh, and the male love interest? He’s her best friend’s uncle. Could this plot get any better?

In the comments, let me know if you’ve read any of these books, or if you’ve downloaded any of them to your Kindle library. There are so many more indie/KU romances I could recommend, so like this post if you want to see a part two. Don’t forget to show your support for my blog by hitting the follow button!

5 October Reads | Book Recommendations

- Bunny Leave a comment

Hi Friends,
The spooky season is ending soon, so I thought it would be fun to share some books that I think would make great October reads. I’ve put together a list of 5 books to recommend that will work for many different types of readers. I understand that not all of us enjoy thrillers and mysteries but still want a book to get us in the mood for the season.

House of Hollow By Krystal Sutherland
I think this is a great book for anyone who wants a tamer horror story. This book nails the creepy and mysterious elements, but since it’s a young adult book, it isn’t too scary.
Related Post: House Of Hollow | Book Review

Hidden Pictures By Jason Rekulak
This is one of my all-time favorite thrillers! If you love a suspenseful page-turner, you’ll enjoy this book. It has plenty of twists and turns and played out like a thriller movie in my head. Hopefully, we’ll get a screen adaptation one day.
Related Post: Hidden Pictures | Book Review

The Only One Left By Riley Sager
This book got me to jump on the Riley Sager bandwagon. The fact that it’s a Lizzie Borden retelling of sorts makes the plot even more intriguing. I found the story captivating, thrilling, and the twists were really good.
Related Post: The Only One Left | Book Review

How To Survive Your Murder By Danielle Valentine
This book isn’t the most complex plot, and some might find it over the top and a little far-fetched. However, I loved it! It’s a classic teen slasher with a twist. The book is set on Halloween, which makes it perfect for October, and the ending was wild.
Related Post: How To Survive Your Murder | Book Review

The Ex Hex By Erin Sterling
I found this to be a cute, witchy romcom! It kind of has a Good Witch feel to it, which I found quite fun. I’m not the biggest fan of second-chance romances, but I think this book really embraces Halloween vibes. If you’re someone who only reads romances, this is a great fall book option.

Gilmore Girls Characters | Book Recommendations

- Bunny Leave a comment

Hi Friends,
I’m back with another book recommendations for characters post! I’ve done this type of post twice before—once for Disney Princesses and another for Barbie. This time, I’m giving book recommendations to some characters from my favorite TV show, Gilmore Girls.

Lorelai Gilmore
Although she was never the biggest reader, I think ‘I’m Glad My Mom Died‘ by Jennette McCurdy would really interest her. For one, it’s a memoir, which seems like a genre she’d gravitate toward. It’s also about Jennette’s strained relationship with her mother, something Lorelai is all too familiar with. Plus, I’ve heard it is somewhat of a dark comedy. Everything about this book makes it the perfect read for Lorelai.

Rory Gilmore
This was a tough one because, as most fans know, Rory is a major book lover. She enjoys both newer books and the classics, which is why I think ‘What Moves The Dead‘ by T. Kingfisher would be something she’d really enjoy. Not only does it have a very intriguing plot, but it’s a retelling of ‘The Fall of the House of Usher‘ by Edgar Allan Poe. I’m sure, being a huge reader, she has read and probably enjoyed the original story, so a reimagining would be a great recommendation for her. Plus, we all remember the Poe Society episode of the show, making this recommendation even more fitting.

Lane Kim
This is probably the most obvious choice, but ‘Daisy Jones & The Six‘ by Taylor Jenkins Reid is a book that Lane would absolutely read and most likely give 5 stars. It’s all about a 70s rock band and the struggles that come with fame. There’s drama, love, addiction, and most importantly, music. I could completely see her being so in love with the story that she’d be Daisy Jones for Halloween.
Related Post: Daisy Jones & The Six | Book Review

Paris Geller
Let’s face it, Paris is all about academics, and I feel like she’d want some sort of academic aspect to her books. This makes ‘Lessons in Chemistry‘ by Bonnie Garmus a wonderful book recommendation for her. The plot is about women in science in the 1950s, but there are many more layers to the story. Someone described it as a feminist manifesto. Paris literally wrote her own manifesto and is 100% a feminist. Need I say more?

Luke Danes
I’m not sold on the idea that Luke Danes would actually take the time to read a book, but he did manage to listen to a self-help book. So, maybe audiobooks are something he’d give a try. If that’s the case, I’d say he should pick up ‘A Man Called Ove‘ by Fredrik Backman. This book gives off Luke mixed with Taylor Doose vibes. Essentially, it follows a grumpy but lovable old man who forms an unexpected friendship with his new neighbors. I have heard that this story is about grief, love, and contains some dark humor. If there was any type of fiction book that the character of Luke might relate to, I’d bet it would be this one.

I hope you found this post interesting. Let me know in the comments if you agree with my book recommendations for these characters.

6 Romance Books I’ll Fall In Love With

- Bunny Leave a comment

Hi Friends,
September 28th marked 20 years since Jesse McCartney’s Beautiful Soul album was released. While the Internet lists various dates for the album’s release, Jesse himself confirmed that it was released on September 28, 2004. Back in the day, my sister and I loved the show Summerland, and when I was thirteen, I attended one of Jesse McCartney’s very first concerts. In honor of the 20th anniversary, I decided to share six romances that I’m pretty sure I will love!


This Spells Love By Kate Robb
“A young woman tries to heal her heartbreak by casting a spell to erase her ex from her past, but she wakes up in an alternate reality where she’s lost more than she wished for in this witty, whimsical friends-to-lovers debut.”

This magical realism romcom sounds perfect for me; everything about the premise is right up my alley.

The Nanny By Lana Ferguson
“A woman discovers the father of the child she is nannying may be her biggest (Only)Fan in this steamy contemporary romance by Lana Ferguson.”

Give me a single-dad romance with spice, and I’ll be happy! I also believe this is an age-gap romance, which has been one of my favorite tropes lately.

Delilah Green Doesn’t Care By Ashley Herring Blake
“A clever and steamy queer romantic comedy about taking chances and accepting love—with all its complications—from the author of Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail.”

I’m not sure where I first heard about this book, but it’s been on my radar for the past year. I know it’s a favorite sapphic romance for many, and it apparently features the one-bed trope.


The Comeback By Lily Chu
“Who is Ariadne Hui? Laser-focused lawyer diligently climbing the corporate ladder? The “perfect” daughter living out her father’s dream? Shocking love interest of South Korea’s hottest star?”

I previously read a book by this author that I gave five stars, so I’m hopeful I’ll love this one too. It is a celebrity-regular person romance, which is a plot that I’ve enjoyed before.

The Love of My Afterlife By Kirsty Greenwood
“A recently deceased woman meets “the one” in the afterlife waiting room, scoring a second chance at life (and love!) if she can find him on earth before ten days are up.”

This book became popular out of nowhere, and it’s another cute magical realism adult romance. As you can tell, magical realism has become one of my favorite genres, and I’m curious about all the hype surrounding this book.

Love in the Time of Serial Killers By Alicia Thompson
“Turns out that reading nothing but true crime isn’t exactly conducive to modern dating—and one woman is going to have to learn how to give love a chance when she’s used to suspecting the worst.”

I’ve heard mixed things about this book, but the synopsis and title make me think it’ll be a cheesy, silly Hallmark movie and I don’t mind that at all. Some of my favorite romances have that feel-good vibe!

There you have it, six adult romcoms that I’m sure will become new favorites of mine. If you’ve read any of these books, let me know in the comments below. Don’t forget that liking and sharing this post helps it reach other book lovers. If you want to be part of my bookish community, please hit the follow button!

Sabrina Carpenter | Book Recommendations

- Bunny 2 Comments

Hi Friends,
Today, I’m sharing a book post for all the Sabrina Carpenter fans out there. In case you didn’t know, Sabrina released a new album on August 23rd called Short n’ Sweet. I originally planned to match some of her songs with books, but instead, I thought I’d recommend a few books that I think any fan of Sabrina’s music would enjoy.

Icebreaker by Hannah Grace
If you know anything about Sabrina’s music, you know she’s not shy about adding some innuendos to her lyrics. A book that looks sweet on the outside but has some surprisingly spicy and explicit content fits her vibe perfectly. This one’s a college frenemies-to-lovers romance, and I’ve heard the steamy scenes are on fire, just like Sabrina’s songs.

Rouge by Mona Awad
This gothic horror story is all about youth and beauty. One thing I’ve noticed about Sabrina is that her skin and makeup are always on point. A horror book that delves into the darker, more sinister aspects of the beauty industry seems like an ideal choice for her fans who appreciate both her music and style and enjoy a bit of suspense.

Annie Bot by Sierra Greer
If you’re looking for something that’s like The Barbie Movie mixed with Sabrina Carpenter’s Feather, this book might be for you. It’s about a robot woman who rebels against the man who controls her. I bet Annie Bot will “feel so much lighter like a feather” once she’s free. Okay, that might have been a bit cheesy, but the lyrics just match the book for me.

Bunny by Mona Awad
I know I’ve already included one Mona Awad book, but I couldn’t resist adding another. This book is supposed to be really weird—you either love it or hate it, kind of like how people feel about Sabrina’s music. It’s a dark academia story about a group of rich girls who call themselves Bunny, and I think Sabrina would totally be into it.

Let me know in the comments if you’re a Sabrina Carpenter fan! Are any of these books on your TBR? Unfortunately, only one of these is available in Everand, but if you want to try the ebook and audiobook service, you can use my link (click here) to get a free trial. And before you go, I’d love it if you could support my blog by giving it a follow.

Until The Next Chapter,
