Good day!!
This is not really my genre, but I did enjoy “Just Three Words”. I am reading “Without Warning” now for my next card. This bingo is great fun!
Oooh I need to read Jericho and I’ve been meaning to read the Gravity Between Us for years!
You just added 12 more books to my reading list. The hard part is deciding which one I’ll read first to complete the square!
Ooh, None so Blind – one of my old favourites (I could read that one again)! Two more suitable for this category: the Midnight Coffee series (2 books) or the first one of Tinderbox tales: Making a Tinderbox, both by Emma Sterner-Radley.
Ah Jericho; that whole series by Ann McMan is excellent reading. Same goes for Melissa Brayden’s books.
For this square though I already read Emma Sterner-Radley’s latest “Greengage Plots”. So fun!
I read the Hravity BetweenUs years ago and it was amazing. It was one of my favorite coming of age/ coming out stories. I highly recommend it also. Since I’ve never heard of the rest of them I’m going to try and read some of them with the time I have left before the school year starts.
I’ve read 7 of the 10 novels listed here. It’s a toss up which of the three I will read for the square but leaning towards None So Blind or Love and Devotion – hoping to win Jove Belle’s novel and then I only need to buy one of them :)
I just read ‘Greenage Plots’ by Emma Sterner-Radley for this square. Loved it so much! Or it can also be used for Rom Com square ;)
I’ve read, well listened to, both Jericho (and the rest of the series, it’s so worth it) and Gravity Between Us.
I caution people about the audio of Gravity. I pushed through it because I really enjoyed the story, but the narration isn’t great. So, if that’s the type of thing that would derail you from a book, read it instead of listening.
I will add more of these books to my list for the future. :-)
Ive read all of these except Marian Snowe. So, on my second card Ill grab hers. A few are on my reread list, and ive read most from the series.
Having grown up in Southern Calif. I found “Without Warning” to not only being extremely realistic but a darn good story too.
I loved the Shaken series.
One of my favourite categories… I read Strawberry Summer by Melissa Brayden to fill this bingo square.
I read the Gravity between us.. it was great…
I cant wait to see what else is out there for this section.
Awakenings in my TBR pile so that’s what I’m going to read.
My fav on there is “just three words” so I think I will try like I love you next.
I have read quite a few of these but not all. Love learning about new authors!
I’ve read a few of these, but Coming Home seems like a really interesting one I want to try out this month.
I’ve read and enjoyed four of these in the past. None So Blind is classic amazing. The very long San Francisco series, of which Awakenings is the first, is quite good. Lynn Galli is one of my favorite authors. I was excited to see these on your list!
I put Heist by MJ Duncan in this square. It was a fun read, and the two main characters were friends in college.
Read a couple from the list already, loved the Soho series by Melissa Brayden and The gravity between us is also a great one!!
A couple more are already on my TBR list, but it’s also a mile long sooo….. nothing new there :) I think I’ll start with Always Alex by Robin Alexander, I just love her books! And I definitely have to read Jericho because it’s been on that TBR list for a long while now. I’m a little afraid to start with Without Warning, because everybody keeps saying you will want to read the whole series at once and I’m already busy with my four bingo cards and a life ;) but I will probably start that one too because it’s sounds great! And I’m still deciding about my fourth card.. Like Jazz has also been on my list for a while now, but I also like some of the other suggestions.. either way my TBR list has grown some more and they all will be read.. someday! Have fun everyone!
One of my favorite categories! Just Three Words by Melissa Brayden!
So many great books on this list! I’ve previously read “Just Three Words,” “Like Jazz,” “Jericho,” “Without Warning,” “Imagining Reality,” “None So Blind,” and “The Gravity Between Us.” I loved them so much. I would also recommend “Snow Globe” by Georgia Beers (set at Christmas), “Life Rewired” by Lynn Galli, “Sing You Home” by Jodi Picoult (heavy subject matter), and “Banshee’s Honor” by Shaylynn Rose. I’m going to re-read “Without Warning” for this square.
Just Three Words by Melissa Brayden. How can Brayden not write an awesome friends-to-lovers story when she can basically write great friendships and lovely romances in her sleep? She’s like the queen of first kiss scenes, too. Plus, in Just Three Words she addresses bi-erasure; one would think it wouldn’t be perpetuated by folks in the LGBT+ community because everyone in the LGBT community is marginalized in some way and you’d hope for more solidarity because of that fact. Brayden just gets it. All of it.
Alex Always by Robin Alexander. Alexander’s like the queen of lesbian rom-com; she writes her ladies so well and with just the right doses of relatable humor that you simply can’t wait for her leads to fall in love. Or for their relatives and friends to chime in and complicate things in a funny way… if her leads don’t do it first, lol.
Still, who am I kidding, because I’m putting all of the books on this list in my TBR pile! Friends-To-Lovers is one of my favorite tropes, and, as such I’ll Likely try to read every book rec’d in the comments as well, lol.
Great list! I will read Prairie Heart by Marian Snowe for this square
I’m reading The gravity between us for this square. It’s a beautiful story.
Jerico sounds fantastic as I love a good rural doctor story.
I like this category as well, even when I’ve read only one book of this list, I definitely want to read more, Jericho is a great book and I’m sure the others on the list are as well, I got some that I definitely want to read from this list
“Imagining Reality” by Lynn Galli: I love all her books, but this is my favorite; it’s the second book in the Virginia Clan series, but it was written before the first book (!). I suggest to read all the books in the series, but you can read it as a stand alone.
I liked “Jericho” and “Without warning”; probably I’ll read “Into thin air” by Jeannie Levig because I liked her other books.
For this category I also suggest “More than friends” by Erin Dutton.
I want to read Melissa Brayden’s latest book, so,pick me before I buy it.
I love Romance! And I love Melissa Brayden. Pick me so I won’t have to buy it. Thanks.
Jericho!
Jericho looks good.
I like this category. A lot actually. I read Hidden Truths by Jae.
Jericho by Ann McMan is a great one, and the only one I’ve read from this list!
“Imagining Reality” by Lynn Galli: I love all her books and this is my favorite; it’s the second book in the Virginia Clan series, but it was written before the number 1 (!): I suggest to read all the books in the series, but you can read this as a stand alone.
I liked “Jericho” and “Without Warning”; probably I’ll read “Into Thin Air” by Jeannnie Levig because I liked her other books.
For this category I also suggest “More than friends” by Erin Dutton.
I will be reading Imagining Reality (Virginia Clan, book 2) by Lynn Galli
I’d love to read any of those 3 up for grabs!
I read Lynn Galli – Imagining Reality, Syd Parker – Remember Me, Yolanda Wallace – Lucky Loser. Maybe next LT Smith – Beginnings or Gina Daggett – Jukebox.
I absolutely love Jukebox! One of my favorites. I wish they’d make an audibook of it.
I believe I read The Secret Pond by Gerri Hill for this square. That’s a great read
Prairie Heart by Marian Snowe! I have enjoyed each of her books, but haven’t read this one, yet! 📚📚📚
I read “Gravity Between Us” and “Just Three Words” last year and would definitely recommend them.
This year I read “The Goodman’s” by Clare Ashton; also one of my favourite friends-to-lovers books.
I have read Beginnings by L.T. Smith and Hidden Truths by Jae, both great books
Jukebox for me! I bought it but “lost” it on kindle so thanks for the reminder!
Just finished reading Like I Love You. Loved it! Already read the Gravity Between Us. Consumed it. Looking for my next Snack…<3
