Happy belated pub day! I came back from our weekend getaway to the mountains with absolutely nothing prepped. I feel like pub day always sneaks up on me!! What are you looking forward to that comes out today or this week?

February is honestly so stacked with amazing new releases, there’s no way I will ever be able to read all of them – the worst of bookworm problems.

A note on the gift boxes: some of these books got on my radar because I was offered a widget on Netgalley that I did not end up accepting because obviously this is wayyyyy too long of a list for one pub day. I feel like it’s more honest to say that I was gifted a copy even if I didn’t download the free copy.

Red String Theory by Lauren Kung Jessen
Contemporary romance | Rom Com

Don’t Want You Like a Best Friend* by Emma R. Alban

From the publisher: THERE’S NOTHING AS GOOD AS THE RICH GONE BAD.

When Ruby McTavish Callahan Woodward Miller Kenmore dies, she’s not only North Carolina’s richest woman, she’s also its most notorious. The victim of a famous kidnapping as a child and a widow four times over, Ruby ruled the tiny town of Tavistock from Ashby House, her family’s estate high in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Recipe for a Charmed Life* by Rachel Linden
Heartwarming romance | Magical realism

From the publisher: After a day of unrivaled disappointments, a promising young chef finds every bite of food suddenly tastes bitter.
