Listen, some weeks, we just want all the romance, you know? I don't have much to say about this week's "theme" beyond that, so let's jump right to the fun part, shall we? First up is Faro's Daughter by Georgette Heyer! This has quickly become one of my favorite reads and the book I reach … Continue reading Reading Roundup #52: She Blinded Me With Chemistry
One of my reading goals for 2022 is actually to slow down and take my time, instead of speeding through everything, and that's reflected in today's mini-roundup. Only three books, but I enjoyed them all, savored the best, and I still had time for plenty of napping and podcast-listening (Wooden Overcoats is back, y'all!) over … Continue reading Reading Roundup #51: Rocking Empires
We've almost made it to the end of another workweek, and I am so excited for the long weekend ahead. I'm hoping it will give me the chance to rest up that I didn't really get over Christmas, so I can pull myself together for the coming weeks. If this week hasn't been particularly great, … Continue reading Reading Roundup #50: In Search of Rest
There are so many authors out there that trying a new one can feel like a gamble — sometimes, it pays off and sometimes, it doesn't. But what if you're not in a gambling mood? That's when it's great to have a list of reliable favorites, authors you can turn to and know you'll get … Continue reading Reading Roundup #49: Bookheart
Happy Monday! .... If there is such a thing. Frankly, I have my doubts, but if there's one thing that can always make a crummy day better, it's thinking about my favorite books. And since it's November, I'm already starting to think about some of my favorite winter rereads. Like many readers, I find comfort … Continue reading Four Annual Rereads
When I tell you this was a great week for reading, I mean it was a great week for reading. These books are about the lengths to which we'll go to protect ourselves and those important to us – and the people who are right there with us through it all. If you're looking for … Continue reading Reading Roundup #43: Sneakin’ Around With You
Ah-ha! Thought I was skipping the Roundup this week, did you? Well, I'm not! Honestly, I just got busy with work this week and forgot about it until today. But we're here now, and I'm happy to report it was a great week for reading. We've got a good dose of romance, of course, plus … Continue reading Reading Roundup #42: Fantasies Makes the World Go ‘Round
It's a surprisingly – and delightfully – spooky week, here at Book It With Becca, as ghosts of the past refuse to stay dead, whether literally or figuratively. Between Halloween approaching and a cool change in the weather, it's the perfect time to pick up one of these ghostly tales! The Ghost Bride by Yangsze … Continue reading Reading Roundup #41: Spooks and Spectres
If there's one thing that reliably complicates war and politics, it's love, as our leads find out this week. Maybe your new partner is the mortal enemy of your father... or maybe he's just a messianic figure, leading your people into a new age (I think that'd be complicated, right?). Or maybe she's just a … Continue reading Reading Roundup #40: Passion & Politics
Hello! I am back! It's been a strange couple of weeks but with lots of reading – so much, in fact, that I'm cutting out a few titles I don't have much to say about and just focusing on the good stuff. Because, much as I love dragging a book that deserves to be dragged, … Continue reading Reading Roundup #37: Bickering Ever After
