Tia Williams' Seven Days in June fundamentally changed me and I have never read anything that has captured the nuances and complexities of first love the way she wrote it. Despite being an avid romance reader, I've found it difficult to find stories that are as relatable and real as Williams have written so I'm excited to drive into Ricky's world!
Thanks for sharing this, Nikki! I felt many of the same with SEVEN DAYS. Can’t wait to talk about RICKI WILDE with you. I’m still over here in my feelings. Pisces season is still here. 💚
Thanks for the book review. I read a lot of mysteries and sometimes fall into that trap of feeling a little embarrassed that I spend too much time with genre fiction and not enough with "literary" novels. I hate the idea of being a reading snob, and I don't actually feel that way, but I compare it to that deeply ingrained idea about eating your vegetables because they are good for you, and feeling guilty about dessert. Like I'm going to learn more or grow more from one category of books, when reading is the whole goal. Just reading. Whatever appeals, whatever gives you what you need right now. Anyway, appreciate your thoughts. And huge congrats on reaching 100 subscriber! Well done!
Thank you as always for sharing. Not much of a romance reader myself—though I am undoubtedly a hopeless romatic—but “Love in the Time of Cholera” is in the running for my favorite book ever.
Thanks for the round-up of culture that captured you as of late. I love F.D. too! His manosphere series is chef's kiss! I have grave concerns about how AI is further impacting our (dis)connection from each other, so will check out that podcast episode. Yasssss to Tia Williams!
Thank you, Lia! We've lost the plot! If this technology were merely tools like folks have been saying, shouldn't they help us get closer to one another? Be better to each other?
Thank you for the book review.

This was really good! Congrats on your over 100 followers!
Thank you, Christie. I’m still feeling my way through, but I think I’m starting to get the hang of it.
You definitely have the hang of it! I like the "sections" (what made me tear up, what made me shake my head, etc.) That should be a "thing."
Got it. Thanks
