June Recap 2021

Geoff W

I am currently sitting poolside in Aruba waiting for the towel hut to open so we can reserve our chairs for the day. It is luxurious.

If things had gone to plan we would’ve been somewhere in Europe right now on a cruise ship, but they didn’t so I’m on this ridiculously beautiful and temperate island averaging a book every other day and getting a seriously nice tan 😀 We also spent a long weekend up in Maine earlier in the month for Tim’s actual birthday, so this month has just been travel travel travel.

Book 804: Finn’s Fantasy (Maine Men #1) – K.C. Wells

Geoff W

Full disclosure, when I said yes to this from Gay Romance Reviews, I accidentally confused Wells with Elle Brownlee (if you remember my obsession with Two for Trust you’d know why).* I knew Wells name was familiar, because I’ve actually read a few other books by her that I enjoyed.

The real kicker and reason I said yes to this one is because it is set in Maine and we’re of course obsessed with Maine. We spend more time in the lakes region or Western Maine rather than on the coast, like where these are set, but of course I was going to read a series set in Maine by an author who is in my mid-range of sure I’ll read 😀

February Recap 2021

Geoff W

photo of a cabin covered in snow with a picnic table to the right of the cabin and a frozen lake in the backgroundIt has been soooo cold and wet and rainy in New England the past few weeks. That’s nothing out of the ordinary and doesn’t really affect me much since I’m not leaving the house, but when you can feel the cold through the windows you know it’s cold-cold!

Work has started to pick up for the spring like it usually does, so my reading will be slumping for a bit even though this list looks like a lot, it’s back to MM Romance novels because they’re quick and entertaining. Hopefully, I’ll switch them out so it’s not all MM Romance all the time, but who knows!?

Book 795: Keeping Casey (Keeping Him #1) – Amy Aislin

Geoff W

I said yes to this one when Gay Romance Reviews offered it because I love a MM Sports Romance and hockey in particular thanks to Ngozi Ukazu.* And it didn’t hurt that the last book I read by Aislin was a hockey romance and it was a decent read.

Keeping Casey introduces us to Ethan, a demisexual gay man who has a medical condition that will one day prematurely end his hockey career who is in love with his best friend, Casey, an archaeology nerd who has been avoiding the grief of his father’s death for years and happens to also be in love with Ethan. They just don’t talk about it until after Casey volunteers as Ethan’s fake boyfriend because of a homophobic teammate. Love a fake boyfriend story!

Book 762: The Extraordinaries (The Extraordinaries #1) – T.J. Klune

Geoff W

I think I found the natural successor to Perry Moore’s Hero. I honestly don’t remember that much about Hero, other than really loving it, but this definitely will stay with me longer.

I found this after someone blogged/Insta’d about Queer young adult books coming out in 2021 when the sequel, Flash Fire, will be released and it’s cover caught my attention so of course I looked into it saw there was a prequel and immediately requested it from this from the library.
