September Favorites
Overdue by Stephanie Perkins
The romance in this is not completely closed door, but the descriptions are tame compared to a lot of what's out there. I gave it five stars despite a few things I didn't like because the writing was impeccable, I loved the library setting, and I was deeply invested in the slow burn romance.
Becoming a Writer by Dorothea Brande
My writing friend Jenn recommended this to me, and I listened to the audiobook. I will never write in the morning as the author suggests, but a lot of her other advice was very practical and no-nonsense. I would read this again.
Pumpkin Patch Proposal by Susanne Ash
I especially liked this cozy little fall romance from the Alphabet Sweethearts series.
