I have so many books I probably haven’t read at least half of them. But I sort of love the giant to do list of books to read.
The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is

First Norah Ephron slapped me in the face with Sleepless in Seattle when I was a pre-teen and just learning about love, and what it means to believe you deserve it all. Now B.K. Borison has opened those feelings right back up with this book. I figured it would be a fun little distraction during the holiday week, and it is now definitely my favorite romance story. 10/10 read this, and believe in magic again. #firsttimecaller

Corporations will continue to manipulate people into behaving as if they were video game players, and these same people will adopt an understanding of their own freely chosen pursuits in life as if life were a video game.

This is absolutely adorable, a reimagining of ‘sleepless in Seattle’ and I’m obsessed. I’m going to be so sad when I finish it. Perfect, lovely rom-com read.

What a super fun and magical story! We picked this one up on our anniversary trip and I was finally able to finish the last 50 pages. The ending felt slightly rushed which is why I took half a star away. I love this author’s stories, it’s like jumping through a portal into another world full of magic and hope.

Currently reading this one. Lots of creeping dread and an unimaginably cruel father figure. It's like Nebraska gothic with lots of foxes, something supernatural, and the sense that no one in this story is going to get out unscathed and also maybe that's okay because I can't decide if I like any of them hahahaha
