My Favorite Romance Reads of 2021


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is to talk about our favorite reads of the year. I changed it up a bit because I wanted to talk about my favorite romances of the year.

2021 has been the year of romance books for me. The majority of the books I read were from the romance genre. Words cannot express how happy that makes me. I'm not going to go into a lot of detail about why I loved the books. I'll do a couple of sentences. I'm just trying to not get burned out from blogging again. 

Basically, I'm going to paste whatever short review I wrote in Goodreads on here and have a laugh at it. I'm shocked that three Tessa Bailey books ended up on this list!

When Sparks Fly by Helena Hunting: I simply adored this book. Declan was just the sweetest and did everything he could to take care of Avery. I literally read this book in less than 24 hours. I was completely addicted to it and never wanted to put it down. Helena Hunting is magnificent!

The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang: this book deserves a million stars.

Window Shopping by Tessa Bailey: This book was unexpectedly dirty. I did not mind one bit.

Hook, Line, And Sinker by Tessa Bailey: Dare I say, this was better than It Happened One Summer. As much as I loved the Schitt's Creek inspiration, I loved Hannah and Fox's story so much more. I love Fox so much more than Brendan. I'm sorry, I can't help it.

How To Fail At Flirting by Denise Williams: I loved this debut novel so much. Denise Williams is now an auto-buy author!

The Roommate by Rosie Danan: A book about a porn star? Sign me up. I was trash for this book the moment I bought it. 

Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert: This was my favorite book in the Brown Sisters trilogy. And it was mostly because of the scene with Eve's purple friend. 

A Court Of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas: Yes, I'm considering this romance. I loved it. I was trash for it. Cassian is better than Rhysand. Sorry, not sorry.

Love Her Or Lose Her by Tessa Bailey: I don't think Tessa Bailey can do any wrong. She's perfect. Her books are perfect. 

Fable Of Happiness by Pepper Winters: The queen of dark romance. This book had to make it on my list of favorite romances. I loved this one so much. It's not my favorite of hers, but definitely not one to forget. 

What were your favorite reads of 2021?

    Sounds like you read some fun ones! Romance isn't my genre, so I haven't read any of these. Some of them look super cute, though.

    Happy TTT!

    I just want to say YES to this post. You read so many great ones this year! I had The Roommate on my list last year. The sequel made my favorite romance list for this year. I also loved many of these other books. Nice list!

    I can't tell you how jealous I am that you got an ARC of Hook, Line, and Sinker, but I'm so happy that you loved it!! Can't wait to read it!

Weekly Recap: 08.02.21 - 08.08.21

Happenings Away From The Blog Hello and welcome back to my blog! I decided to start blogging again last week. I’m currently still going strong. By that, I mean I haven’t wanted to quit yet. I’m beginning to realize that going to WordPress is what makes me hate blogging. I’m not going back there again. In the coming weeks, I may not be blogging as much though. We’re in the process of moving so my spare time is either spent cleaning or packing. We haven’t moved since 2012 and I’m extremely nervous about this move. I’m also extremely annoyed that I have so many books to pack. As much as I love my books, I never thought I would ever have to move them. This is kind of part of the reason why I haven’t been buying as many physical books. Not much has happened work-wise. I got a super nice compliment from a client and it made me feel a lot better about what I do at work. I also took three days off, equalling five days off work. My son starts school again on Tuesday and I’m currently just helpi

Books On My Fall TBR!

Top Ten Tuesday was created by  The Broke and the Bookish and is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl . This week’s prompt is to talk about the books on our Fall TBR!  I'm not going to lie, I don't normally make any TBRs. I typically choose a book at random to read. I do this in order to make sure every single book on my TBR has a chance to be read. Babel by R.F. Kuag: I am actually dying to read this book. I have seen nothing but great reviews for this one. Luckily, if I love it, I already have two beautiful editions 😍 Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner: I actually have an arc of this one from NetGalley. I highly enjoyed Meryl's debut novel and I'm excited to see if I will feel the same about her newer release. Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton: Soooo many people have read and loved this book. I love a good dark romance and I'm definitely making sure I pick this one up soon. A Light In The Flame by Jennifer L. Armentrout: This one doesn't come out for a w
