#WhatchaReading? On my third try, I finally finished The Wake Up Call. I liked it fairly well by the end, but I don't read Beth O'Leary for tropiness and this was all trope all the time. And I'm just not that fond of the "she's a childish pain in the ass and somehow he loves her for it" relationship dynamic. There was some nice tenderness and angst... the supposedly stoic MMC really gets punched in the gut, poor sweet baby.

@willaful I agree, not my favorite O’Leary. I finally finished listening to Elle Maxwell’s “Us, Again” and I don’t know why I didn’t DNF it; it really wasn’t what I was after and I didn’t like the MMC much (or understand the relationship, I suppose). Now on to listening to BK Borison’s “Lovelight Farm” which I like more already. @romancelandia @romancebooks

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I'm avoiding reading my ARC of Evergreen by Devin Greenlee for my read ahead #readathon for #COYER. It's just not capturing me, and the reviews have the same complaints I already notice, so I really want to DNF. Instead I decided to relisten to Eight Winter Nights by Liz Maverick after recommending it, so maybe I can read the next 2 novellas. Definitely more my mood right now.
