February Romance Readathon TBR
I'm participating in a readathon this month hosted by @princessofbookaholics! There are some optional prompts, which I'm listing below, along with the books I'm reading to fulfill those prompts. I'm unlikely to read ALL of these, but I love building an over-hopeful TBR, anyway.
read a romance that's been on your tbr the longest I'm new, guys, they've all been there for like, 2 months or less. So I'm adjusting this to the oldest (unread) romance I own.
"Passion's Honor" by Diane Wicker Davis (1987)
read a romance with blue or purple on the cover
"The Prince of Midnight" by Laura Kinsale (I'm halfway through this already, and I'll finish it in February, no problem.)
read someone's 5 star favorite romance (you could ask a mutual or stalk someone's goodreads/storygraph 👀)
"Devil in Winter" by Lisa Kleypas (I stalked the Goodreads profile of Instagram user swooningstepbacks, since I don't really have historical romance buddies to ask. I've also heard everyone talking about this, and I'm insanely curious.)
read a romance that features a wedding + post a book poll on tumblr and read the romance book that wins!
"Damsel in Distress" by Shannon Drake
Prompt books:
Extra books, because I'm thinking about them and I might end up reading them:
"A Rose in Winter" by Shana Abe
"The Wild Hunt" by Elizabeth Chadwick
"Unmasked by the Marquess" by Cat Sebastian
"After the Storm" by Susan Sizemore
I'm not interested. I'm not for sale and neither is my land.
All I want is the taste that your lips allow
