It’s time for a TBR update! Today, I’m sharing some of the recent books I’ve added to my Goodreads TBR. To give a quick recap, I use my Goodreads TBR list to mark down books that I might want to read. Sometimes, I have the book already, and sometimes, it’s a new release. Sometimes, I just add it to the list to remember it.
Some I’ve had my eye on for a while and needed to remind myself that I do want to read it. Others I’ve come across recently and want to keep an eye on it. And as always these are in no real order. Let’s go!

Fair Market Value (The Body Shop, #1) by Hailey Edwards. | Lucy Undying by Kiersten White. | A Pack for Winter (Cozyverse, #2) by Eliana Lee. | A Love Most Fatal (Morelli Family #1) by Kath Richards.

Pole Position (Lights Out) by Charlie Novak. | Metal Slinger (Fire & Metal #1) by Rachel Schneider | Dear Reader. (Devil’s Backbone, #1) by Tate James. | Rules of Our Own (Rule Breaker, #3) by Jessa Wilder.

Alchemised by SenLinYu. | On Guard (The Hastings. #2). by Denise Stone | Widow (Graves Crime Syndicate. #1) by April Skye. | Lights Out (Into Darkness, #1) by Navessa Allen.
And there we go, those are some of the books that I have recently added to my Goodreads TBR. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading any of them soon? So, let’s chat!

This week I’m sharing romance books for those wanting to start reading more in the genre. Top Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.
The romance genre is big! And when you haven’t delved into it, it’s hard to know where to start. So for this week’s love freebie, I thought it would be fun to share romance books that I would recommend for first-time romance readers. From contemporary reads to fantasy books, with little to no spice to a nice amount for those starting.
It’s the month of love, so let’s get into it. As always these are in no real order. Here are the romance books that I think are perfect for those just starting to read romacne. And, let’s go!
