? I just finished Dionysus in Wisconsin and I'd feel a little delicate about mentioning it since the author is on this instance, but fortunately I loved it. 😁 It's kind of like if Neil Gaiman and Cat Sebastian collaborated on a m/m historical fantasy romance. Magic, myths, high stakes, true love.

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks the #COYER #readathon for November is all about reading new releases, ie books published in 2023, and it started on Sunday. So hopefully I'll catch up on overdue netgalley ARCs, and as such I started Stars in Your Eyes by Kacen Callender last night -- so far so good! I'm also in the middle of listening to Love Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood, which I'm definitely enjoying, even if her books are very similar, and her heroines a bit eye rolley.

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks a year long challenge I participate in that has a lot of fun variety. It stands for Clean Out Your E Reader, and started 10 years ago to encourage readers to read those cheap ebooks we all amass. It's evolved since, and has a fun Facebook group.

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I’m reading “I Went on an Adventure and All I Got Was This Barbarian Orc” by Jennifer Cody. It’s a hilarious and silly D&D campaign with some romance. The books are cheap and short.I’m enjoying them. (Disclaimer: I still play D&D with my college buddies even though I am now over 40 😀).

@willaful I've stalled in reading my TBR Challenge book--Darynda Jones' First Grave on the Right. For once, it's not the first person (Charley Davidson is a sarcastic flippant smartypants, and so far I like her) but me.

@herhandsmyhands Aw bummer. That's a fun series, though a bit OTT for me.

@willaful 🥰

I'm about halfway through The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics. I've also got The Ruin of a Rake as an audiobook, and while I'm not 100% blown away by the performance, it does draw out many of the very funny moments.
