thanks for trusting me and clicking to read. 😊 there will be no proper capitalizations this week, we're keeping things casual. it's been a long (but wonderful) holiday season and i'm sure we're all too tired to care all that much. 😂

below are some things i think you might be interested in. some authors you might want to follow (IG links included), a book fair, and my cute lil bumble bee book marks (shake that bumble-butt).

check out these authors (maybe? please.) 💖

1. ​eveline rose: small-town romantic suspense 🕵️❤️🔍
2. ​ranee s. clark: historical romance (her latest) & contemporary rom-com 🤠💛🐎
3. ​katelyn daliath: young adult fantasy romance 🧝💖✨
4. ​k.l. hester: new adult fantasy romance 🔥🧡🗡️ (closed-door, not spicy. i just liked the fire b/c it matches her book cover's vibe.)
5. ​amber gabriel: women’s fantasy romance x medieval/historic fiction 🏰💙⚔️
6. ​lindsey saenz: contemporary hockey romance 🏒❤️🥅

want more author suggestions like this? well aren't you lucky 😂 because that's exactly what i'm trying to do on my instagram account: share new and exciting romance authors and books (non-explicit, fade-to-black, closed-door, etc. however you like to call it).

if you made it this far, THANK YOU. *whew* i know it was a lot. no, seriously... 2025 has barely begun and i've already been so busy.

your support means the world to me. even if it's just taking a moment to read, browse my content, and explore some new authors. i thank you for giving me a sliver of your time 💖 and for not judging any typos or anything else weird. to err is human. and right now, we're all a bunch a really tired, trying to stay one-step-ahead humans.

xoxo,
