From serious literature to serious love stories! 📚💖
My first degree was in English Lit, which was all about serious and “important literary” books. To tell you the truth, it was too much. I got bored of constantly looking for deep meaning in the writing and, sadly, stopped enjoying reading—something I’ve loved since I was a little girl.
Now, I still pick up the occasional serious book, but mostly I read just for pleasure. I love the book equivalent of a great Rom-Com movie! So, when my friend told me about the first Ever After Romance Books Festival in Toronto, I had to go! 🥂✨
We dove headfirst into the fluffiest, most fun weekend: author talks, an afternoon tea (pinkies up!), and snagging signed copies of all the best rom-com reads.
I’ve officially reached peak ‘TBR’ (To Be Read) pile status and I’m not mad about it. My reading list is now 99% lighthearted reads and I am ready for the coziness to begin! 🎄🎅 I am especially here for a good Christmas romance.
On my ‘Nice’ list this Christmas Season:
Christmas by Candlelight by Karen Swan: Loved it! It had more substance than I thought and loved spending time in an old English Manor.
The Christmas Wager by Holly Cassidy: Basically a big-town girl visits small town, falls for the rugged guy—well you get it 😊
The Secret Christmas Library: Can’t wait to get to this one because I just love reading anything set in England.
I’m not sure if I’ll get to more, but this is a good start. What lighthearted reads are on your list this season? Share below! 👇
