#WhatchaReading ? I Think They Love You by Julian Winters was a nice Valentine's Day read - a second chance/fake dating romance with a good growth arc for the lead. Lots of sweet pining and a big wacky cast of family and friends.. If you yearn for romcoms with black and queer characters, this was literally written for you.

@willaful I am a day into Kate Stayman-London's "Fang Fiction" and trying to balance my apprehension about paranormal stories (not normally my cuppa) with my engagement with Stayman-London's delightful characters. Also reading Naomi Kritzer's "Catfishing on CatNet" aloud to my daughter; also not normally her genre preference but she's absolutely captivated with the characters and setting.

@willaful
I can't mention the Kritzer book without referencing the 2015 story that spawned it, which is also delightful: https://clarkesworldmagazine.com/kritzer/_01/_15/

@notTheAudience Oh, I read "Catfishing" last year and really enjoyed it. Did you know there's a sequel?

@romancebooks

@willaful Yes! I got them both from the library at the same time, so when we finish “Catfishing” we will probably roll straight on into “Chaos” @romancebooks

@willaful @romancebooks I I'm back to rereading, I picked Small Town Siren by Sophie Oak (Lexi Blake), listening for the first time and enjoying the narrators!
