Since it's somehow December (where did last month go???), it's time to talk about November's reading. I did more rereading in audiobook than reading new books last month, but I did read a few that I want to share with you.

The Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook asks its members to share six sentence snippets from their work each weekend. Check out the group's Facebook page to read all the snippets and add lots of great books to your TBR. You'll find all sorts of books with the common thread that the main character identifies as LGBTQ. This month, I'm sharing snippets from The Merchant's Love, my super cozy fall/winter fantasy romance in which a bookish royal and a merchant fall in love over books and baked goods (and there's a bit of magic gone wrong too). I'm jumping in to the middle of the book. Faelen, our bookish royal, is reminiscing about childhood Midwinter holidays as he walks to meet Maxen at the theater. This is the first holiday he's spent in his home country since he was a child, as his father is a diplomat. (I've also given Faelen my love of roasted chestnuts...)

You'll find all sorts of books with the common thread that the main character identifies as LGBTQ. This month, I decided to share some snippets from The Envoy's Honor because it came out three years ago this month. The Envoy's Honor is an adversaries to lovers dragon shifter romance in my Chronicles of Tournai series. Dragon shifter Kirill is an envoy sent with a delegation to Tournai to ensure that his people and their secret (about being dragon shifters) are safe, and Griffen is a diplomat trying to prove his worth and protect his family. From the beginning, they clash and have moments of connection, all with attraction simmering beneath. But there's a lot more going on that they're unaware of at first, and when someone is murdered, they decide to investigate together (because they know they didn't do it...because they were arguing and kissing in the garden at the time...). Today, I'm sharing a snippet of Griffen and Kirill's first kiss. They've been arguing, and Griffen is trying to convince Kirill to trust him and work with him. It turns out differently than he intended... All ebooks are 50% off at NineStar Press's site through Monday November 27th, including my Chronicles of Tournai and Elemental Magicae books. It's a great time to catch up on (or start! or binge!) either of these series. Happy reading! If you're in the US like I am, Thanksgiving is celebrated tomorrow and I thought I would share some Thanksgiving romances in case you're looking for something to enjoy over the weekend (or to escape into if family gets to be too much...).

Today's snippet is an encounter between Griffen and Kirill after one of the disastrous meetings between Tournai's representatives and Ivria's, led by Ederic. (I know it's way too long—I'm sorry! I thought it was necessary for this one.)

This month, I decided to share some snippets from The Envoy's Honor because it has an anniversary coming up soon.

But there's a lot more going on that they're unaware of at first, and when someone is murdered, they decide to investigate together (because they know they didn't do it...because they were arguing and kissing in the garden at the time...). This is a snippet in Kirill's point of view from after the dragon shifter delegation meets with Griffen and a couple of others from Tournai (Ederic is the leader of the dragon shifter delegation). Also, if you've read To Love the Dragon King, you probably recognize Kirill and Romilly, though you don't have to read either book to understand the other. If you've known me any length of time (or just flipped through my instagram), you probably know that autumn is my favorite season and I adore October, both for glorious autumn vibes and for spooky season. All of that informed by reading in October. I reread some seasonal favorites (like R Cooper's A Little Familiar) and read some new-to-me paranormal romance too.

Here's a snippet in Griffen's point of view early on in the book. Happy Halloween, my darlings! If you're celebrating, I hope you have a delightfully spooky day filled with the best treats. I'm going to do my best to contribute by bringing you some more paranormal book recs. Today, I have some ghost romances for you. These fall into two categories: stories in which the love interest is a ghost and stories in which there are ghosts (some as antagonists and some not). |
