So The Love In The Night Readathon (#loveinthenight) is a paranoid romance Readathon I’m going to participate in!

It spans Monday to the following Monday (so 1 week!) Below I’ve attached my TBR for the readathon 🤗

I’ll probably follow the same blogging format that I’ve used for previous readathons (namely the day of the week, what I’m reading, what I’m doing, etc.)

3 books (Deal with the Demon by Juliette Cross, Deal with the Demon by Chace Verity, Vision Of Heat by Nalini Singh) are a little more higher priority because they hit my bingo prompts 😂 I’m going for blackout 😂

Reading order (due to format and bingo board prompts) will be Deal with the Demon, Slave To Sensation, Wolf Gone Wild, and Vision Of Heat. And that’s as far as I go 😂

Monday

Let the reading begin! Let the readathon begin! 👏🏽

Already currently reading Then Came You by Lisa Kleypas. Already on chapter 4, I’ll get to chapter 6 the switch to Deal with the Demon, so I can focus my reading better 🤗 I still intend to follow my book blog format, checking in on chapter 6, chapter 17, and end of book 📖.

Decided I’ll start all my paranormal (PRN) reads tomorrow 😂

Tuesday

First OFFICIAL day! Plan to start Deal with the Demon 🙌🏽👏🏽 The book looks fun! Spent yesterday finishing my chapter of Then Came You. And did some prep work for when I start a new book (set up my book template)… Been fiendishly reading 😈😂

Wednesday

👩‍⚕️’s appointment today! So thought 💭 of starting Slave To Sensation on audio! But the appointment was faster than I anticipated 👍🏽 Instead, found myself at a coffee shop (for the first time in a long time 👏🏽) Got to resume (and 🤞🏽 finish) Deal With The Demon.

Started Slave To Sensation on audio while at the park. Set up mr rereading blog 👏🏽 Read after my walk 🚶🏽‍♀️in the car 🚙 (needed to charge my phone 📱😂). Enjoy rereads, pick up on more!

Thursday

Finished Deal with the Demon 👏🏽 My first FULL length novel read by my eyes 👀! Starting Wolf Gone Wild. Set up my reading notes 📝 Might blog the book too 😋

Friday

Still reading Wolf Gone Wild… Reading with my eyes does take longer.. But I like that titles are more accessible to me! 😄

Saturday

Didn’t do much reading… lived life 😂

Sunday

Tried to get back on my kindle… think it froze… But I am watching a YT video with Juliette Cross in it! Might just access Kindle (app) on my phone 📱 🤔

Have a full day ahead so I’ll probably go back to Slave To Sensationalism.

Monday

Official end of readathon! Might extend 1 day… Hopefully I’ll finish Wolf Gone Wild… Still have an eventful day before us…walked the whole day on my walker 👏🏽

*Tuesday*

Continued reading Wolf Gone Wild 👏🏽 It’s definitely entertaining! Didn’t finish my book but its ok… Physically reading takes longer than listening 🤔

Also a special occasion! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM 🥳!

Was going to do a Shadow And Bone… But realized I never did a reading blog for it!

After I figure things out, I’ll get back to it 🙏🏾

So this is the last tirle in Tesa Dare’s Girl Meets Duke series! Still ongoing but highly recommend and a good entry point into HR! The first 2 books The Duchess Deal and The Governess Game were relatively light and rom-com-y 👏🏽 I enjoy both of them so far! 👏🏽 The thing with me and books, I remember general premise and how it makes me feel! 😂

The Wallflower Wager is about (according to Amazon) Gabriel and Penelope, who are neighbors 🤔 Penelope takes in animals and Gabriel must help find them homes… Thats the general premise…

Check-ins/Updates

I just feel the majority of people love animals like they fo kids 😂 Not to say kids are pets! But they are both loved ones 🥰

Usually don’t start a new book at night… but figured it’s jut5 chapters and the stoyis fun from the get go 👏🏽

Chapter 6

Penny is likeable 🤔 Gabe is endearing 😍 They make a fun pair 👏🏽 Getting a more playful cibe from the storyline 👏🏽 The first 5 chapters followed the formula and laid the groundwork for our story and it’s characters 👏🏽

Chapter 17

Glad to get back into this  read 👏🏽 Chapters read fast 👏🏽

The intensity for their attractions for each other 😂 Loved the bathtub 🛁 scene 😂😂😂 Feels like it reflects their dynamics really well 👏🏽 Both of them are attracted to each other yet they’re still hilarious 😂 

Love Ash, Emma, Chase, and Alex participation and concern for Penny ❤️

Liked how Gabe facilitates Penny’s sexual journey, constantly affirming her 🥰

Chapter 28

Really enjoying this book 😂 Really like Ash and Chase’s prescence 😂 Love the begrudging friendship between Gabe, Ash, and Chase 😊

Got dark in Chapter 24… But I feel it helped propel their relationship forward 🤔 

End of book 📚

I find it hard to believe that no one in Penny’s family knows what happened between her and Mr. Lambert.. 

Duel between Lambert and Gabe 😨 

Both Penny and Gabe both know pain…Story got meatty… Unexpected but appreciated!

The epilogue was genuinely funny 😂

Rereading His At Night by Sherry Thomas, just finished my initial read 5/9/21. Completed the readalong the week of my book club Readalong 👏🏽 Glad I Was able to read it for the 1st time on time!

Monday: Chapters 1 – 4:

The groundwork was laid AND laid well! Caught on to more details the 2nd time around! We see Ellessande and Vere’s initial meeting!

Tuesday: Chapters 5 – 8

I enjoy the beginning of stories! Before the couples couple up! It’s the most fun part! 👏🏽 The beginning is the most challenging though… (most notes taken 😂)

Still not a fan of such blatent manipulation… Vere and Ellessande are attracted to each other…But that doesn’t make it alright…

Chapter summaries not up yet… Didn’t post anything in regards to the chapters yesterday… By the time I finished reading, I was not in the right mind space to read the thread… Trying to be engaged today 😂

Wedding night was hilarious 😂 Ellessande throws herself at Vere, but he seems indifferent 😂  Ellessande caught crying 😭 Vere and Ellessande kiss 😘 

Attraction between Freddy and Anjelica feels a little random…Their interactions are entertaining though…

Marriage revealed to Uncle Edmond 👏🏽 Felt like Elle intentionally rubbed the news in Uncle Edmond’s face 😂

Wednesday: Chapter 9 – 12

Think I missed this day! 🤔 

Thursday: Chapters 13 – 17

Vere and Elle relationship getting deeper but Vere still has feelings of hate and resentment towards Elle… That’s why I have mixed feelings about them… If Vere can’t, how am I supposed to?! I like how we see more sex scenes (I feel it helps their relationship grow)

This book also contained the most espionage… Like never noticed it until this book 📖 Before we heard mention a character was a former spy but never one in process or being utilized as one…

Uncle Edmund in prison for murder 😂 Poetic justice? Elle relieved 😌 

Elle seeks Vere’s company.. Her need for human company makes sense, knowing she was imprisoned in her home before 

Walk are good 👏🏽 Speaking from personal experience, walks are a unique opportunity to talk! Feel this is a healthier way than having sex 👏🏽

Friday: Chapters 18 – 22

Section of reveals! Vigorously take notes! Definitely made things exciting 😂

Elle questions her ideantity… Vere reassures her…

Freddie’s reaction felt real from a sibling… Freddie shares HOW he knew

End of book 📖

Realized I fell behind 😂🤦‍♀️ I’ll just comment at the end of the book 😂 Mostly to help me keep track 😂

Felt after Vere’s reproposal was all HFN! Thought it was fun! 👏🏽
