OMG!! I totally misjudged this one. Dean and Norah’s story is now my absolute fave! How can something feel so amazing and yet break your heart at the same time? Once again, Amy Daws knocked it out of the park with this story. I found myself cracking up like crazy, especially during the scenes with Dean, Kate, and Lynsey. We all need friends like that in our lives! Who would’ve thought fake dating could be such a blast? It’s such a feel-good read. Seriously, you just can’t go wrong with an Amy Daws book.

WAIT WITH ME

STAR RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#2026readingchallenge #goodreads #readingwithrese #fable

This is one of those fantastic books that everyone joyfully encouraged me to read. To be honest, the cover initially caught me off guard; I wasn’t quite sure what to think of it at first. A minotaur and a human? However, as I journeyed through the pages, the story blossomed with such elegance and depth that I quickly embraced their differences and became fully engrossed in the enchanting narrative. It beautifully showcases the profound bond that develops between these two characters, highlighting the incredible power of love to transcend boundaries and expectations. I found myself enchanted by the warmth and sincerity that radiate from their connection. And isn’t that what life is all about—learning to see someone through the lens of your heart and cherishing the unique qualities that each individual brings to the table?

MORNING GLORY MILKING FARM

BY: C.M. Nascosta

STAR RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#2026readingchallenge #goodreads #readingwithrese #fable

The Wolf and the Crown of Blood is the quintessential dark fantasy romance every reader craves. It’s brimming with tantalizing intrigue, a plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat, and an energy that sets it apart from the rest—it’s an utterly mesmerizing experience. Best of all, it is a standalone. The narrative centers around Bryony, a fiercely determined princess bound to perform a biweekly ritual for the god Alexios. But when she falls from grace, he dispatches the captivating god Evander to end her life. However, Evander is utterly captivated by Bryony, postponing her fate. What unfolds is a spellbinding journey where the weak rise to power, villains transform into heroes, and enemies discover a love that’s impossible to ignore. If you have even a hint of an inclination towards romantasy, you must grab this book without delay. I’m counting the days until the next installment arrives, eagerly hoping it unfolds the riveting tale of Bastien and Theo.

THE WOLF AND THE CROWN OF BLOOD

BY: Elizabeth May

STAR RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#2026readingchallenge #goodreads #readingwithrese #fable

I first caught wind of Yesteryear on Good Morning America when they mentioned it as this month’s book club pick. The way they talked about it made it sound super interesting, so I thought I’d really dig it. Turns out, I didn’t. I seriously considered DNFing it multiple times, but I promised myself I wouldn’t ditch a book once I started. If the author spent time writing it and I shelled out money for it, I figured I might as well see it through. I kept hoping it would get better, but I just couldn’t connect with the main character at all. There was nothing about her that pulled me in—no part of her life or the choices she made resonated with me. Sure, I love plenty of books where I don’t relate to the characters, but there’s usually something in the story that hooks me, and here, there was nada. By the time I finished, I was left thinking, “What the heck did I just read?” I could’ve rated it lower, but I really don’t like going below 3 stars. If you’re into the whole influencer-as-a-trad-wife thing, give it a shot and see what you think. Maybe you’ll love it, but for me? Nah, not really.

I was really surprised by this book! Turns out, there are more if I want to keep going, but honestly, I’m not super into them. I’m still out there looking for that awesome werewolf story.

TRUE LUNA: CHASING THE WHITE WOLF

STAR RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

#2026readingchallenge #goodreads #readingwithrese #fable

This is one of those stories that showed up as an ad. You know, the type that lets you read a few chapters before you gotta either buy some coins or go hunting for it elsewhere. Thankfully, this one was available in other spots. It was a pretty decent werewolf tale, or maybe I was just in the mood for one and that bumped up my rating.

I stumbled upon this book while I was gaming. It popped up as an ad and let you check out a few chapters for free, which was awesome! I was totally hooked and had to track down a copy that wasn’t tied to that pay-for-more-chapters thing. The author really nailed it, spinning a fun story with a solid plot and characters that felt real. I absolutely loved the storyline!
