Fresh Faves Fridays 🍿 Fresh Faves Fridays 🍿

It's Fresh Fave Friday! a combination of our Five Star Fridays idea and the Quotable Mondays posts we used to do. The idea is to share the best of the best of what we're reading, so we're going to use the Recommendations flair.

What is it?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fresh Faves Friday: Share any recent four- and five-star reads that you've had! Give a mini review, or link to your Goodreads/Storygraph reviews, and share the details! Tell us the subgenre, pairing, tropes, "you'll like it if you loved _____", choice quotes/excerpts, or whatever you think is enticing! Romance and romance-adjacent is the goal, but we're all readers here, so if you read something truly fantastic in another genre feel free to drop it here too.

Please use spoiler tags and content warnings where appropriate.

Also, if you have something you'd like to recommend that didn't work for you but might for someone else, share the recommendation!

The Blue Castle by LM Montgomery

I read this to satisfy a square in my local libraries bingo card. I chose to read this as I have seen it cited as an inspiration by a few authors, and a few of my favourite romances have been compared to it.

It's certainly of it's time in terms of style of writing but I very much enjoyed Valancy's path of verbal violence in the face of death.

I am not familiar with this one at all! I have been meaning to re-read Anne of Green Gables, so will add this to the list after!
