Normally I try to post a book review roundup every month or two, but my records show I've fallen behind. I'll try to catch up over the next few days. 😀

"𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲, 𝐏𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐞" 𝐛𝐲 𝐏𝐞𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐦
I loved this story! Penelope ventures across the ocean to help restore a 100-year-old family-owned theater. Along the way, the pure joy of her personality proves infectious, even in the face of difficulties.

"𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐨𝐞" 𝐛𝐲 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝
I'd hoped that this book might be helpful in connecting actions with emotions as I write, but it was a little more simple than that. It's literally a list of body movements. I could see it being helpful for some, but it wasn't quite what I was looking for.

"𝐈𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞" 𝐛𝐲 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐡 𝐄. 𝐋𝐚𝐝𝐝
A young widow is reunited with the sweetheart of her youth, who is tasked with protecting her from danger. A sweet Regency story.

"𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐡" 𝐛𝐲 𝐌𝐢𝐦𝐢 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐰𝐬
This is a Victorian tale with Romeo and Juliet overtones. The characters are quite young so I didn't really connect with them, and there were some other factors that made this not my favorite Mimi Matthews story.
