It's time for a bookish q&a! Where possible, my goal is to keep my answers to books I've read in 2022. There are a couple that will be from previous years, but since Bookmas is a chance to look back at the year, I feel it's best to give as current of answers as possible. Should you choose to answer these prompts, you can answer however you would prefer. (obviously)
Currently Reading
The Mysterious Mr Marcellus by Tomi Tabb

The Edge by Kristin Turnage
An author I always recommend
Aven EllisShe has so many different options within the romance genre. Looking for a royal romance series? Modern Royals. Looking for a hockey series? Aven has 3! How about baseball? Yep, the DC Soaring Eagles! Then there's her business romances in the British Isles series. They are all wonderful. She also has a soccer/football romance series starting up in 2023!
A book/series I DNF'd
One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston
I had loved Red White and Royal Blue, so I was excited to see how this book would be. It wasn't what I wanted, and I don't think I'll revisit.

A fictional place I'd like to visit
Oaks North Carolina
(aka the setting for The Edge series)

An OTP I love
Parker and Cooper
(Something So Right by Natasha Madison is their story, but they make appearances in many other books in the various hockey romance series.)

Favorite book cover owned
This is a difficult one for me as I don't tend to buy the book for the cover, I buy it for the story. If I must choose, I'm going with:
Everything is Ok by Debbie Tung
I love Debbie's art and storytelling. It is all so relatable for me.
Last disappointing read
Lukas, Sometimes by Tempest Phan
I found it really difficult to get invested in the story, and I didn't care for the characters.

A trope I love to see
Brother's Best Friend, or any iteration of that. It's one of my top 3 for a reason!
A trope I can't stand
This is a hard one for me. But I think I'd have to say cheating. I've read one book with that as a trope, and I wasn't a fan.
A fictional character that reminds me of myself
I have two that came to mind.
Holly Johannson from On Thin Ice by Aven Ellis and Jaye Jenkins from Compassion by Xavier Neal.

A highly anticipated book/series release
Made For series from Natasha Madison
How can I not? It's another hockey romance series that ties in with all the others. I HAVE TO READ THEM!

On my TBR
Too many books to even think about. My December Anticipated Reads post sums up my TBR for the month.
My comfort read
Everyone's a Aliebn When UR a Aliebn Too by Jomny Sun
A favorite side character
Miko from The Bennett Duet by Xavier Neal
I know this duet was from late 2020/early 2021, but I am still crossing all the crossables that Miko will get a book. If I can't have a full length novel, I'll settle for a novella. Just no short story please, I can't handle that teasing.

My favorite book to tv/movie adaptation
Hunger Games
I know, I know, that was a while ago. But I just loved how the action was brought to life, and I was fully invested. (note to self: rebuy this series!)

A villain I love to hate
Savannah from Vegas Aces: The Wide Receiver
If you've read any of the Vegas Aces series, then you know who Savannah is. She's pretty much the worst.
My favorite reading spot
It's a toss up between my comfy chair, and my bed. But I'm going to go with bed. After all that's where the majority of my reading takes place each night.
Latest book purchase or haul
I honestly haven't purchased anything recently. I have downloaded some freebies, but nothing else. I'm trying to hold off for Christmas, as people want gift ideas.
Longest book read
Driven: The Complete Series by K Bromberg
This was in 2021, but I don't know when I'll top 806 pages.
Shortest book read
The Crash by Skye Warren & Amelia Wilde
