Coming up for air and praying that I might have some work/life balance on the horizon. Guess what y'all? The next #TBRChallenge is set for July 15. This month's optional theme is FREEDOM! https://wendythesuperlibrarian.blogspot.com/2026/07/reminder-tbrchallenge-day-is-july-15.html #RomBkBlog #Romancelandia

27.- I read Courtney Milan's "Mrs Martin's Incomparable Adventure", a Sapphic Victorian genre romance novella. Technically part of the Worth Saga, stands alone quite well.

Just a bit late for the #Romancelandia #TBRChallenge ! I listened to Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez and loved it. It's character and romance driven rather than trope and sex driven, so very much my cup of tea.

Because I was feeling a certain way, I checked last year's attempt to complete @SuperWendy's #TBRChallenge. It turns out, while I certainly didn't do great, I did better than I thought I had. Crossing fingers for a better showing this year.

For reasons, I re-read this review just now, and I'm AGAIN so very angry that the author was not offered a contract for the next book. Well written protagonist of a certain age, interesting mystery, good worldbuilding.

Publishing did Callie Carpenter very dirty here.

Today's #TBRChallenge Day! This month's optional theme was Here There Be Monsters. Time was short so I went with a Harlequin Intrigue - third in a trilogy that of course I read out of order - Wyoming Christmas Ransom by Nicole Helm. Not much Christmas, no ransom, but still an entertaining read https://wendythesuperlibrarian.blogspot.com/2025/10/tbrchallenge-wyoming-christmas-ransom.html #RomBkBlog @romancelandia

My own #TBRChallenge was How to Rescue a Family be Teri Wilson, which featured Man's Best Friend. Unfortunately so much of this Harlequin Special Edition just didn't work for me. https://wendythesuperlibrarian.blogspot.com/2025/09/tbrchallenge-2025-how-to-rescue-family.html #RomBkBlog @romancelandia
