#WhatchaReading ? If "too much sex" reviews make you perk, you'll want to check out Her Halloween Treat by Reisz. Nothing but sex and banter, often at the same time. Way too much of both for me.

Also DNF'd The Road to Roswell, second Willis DNF in a row for me. To paraphrase my husband, I'm tired of her shtick.

@willaful I'm reading an ARC _Friends Don't Fall in Love_ by Erin Hahn; it's loosely tied to her release last year (_Built to Last_), and so far, so good: despite generally not liking first person, present tense, the characters grabbed me from the get. It's about two longtime friends who once had a one-night stand and now are convinced the other doesn't want to go back there, ever.

It releases next Tuesday, and I hope to have a review up tomorrow or Saturday.

I'm finally reading Call Me By Your Name! I was expecting romance and some sex, but I definitely was not ready for all of the in-depth descriptions of some of the scenes ๐Ÿ˜ณ (that peach scene, my lord, IFYKYK)

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks Iโ€™m still reading Executive Orders by Tom Clancy - the audiobook is a monster 56 hrs long. And a book Iโ€™m not sure how to describe yet - One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston. The blurb is a bit inadequate for this one, and Iโ€™m only 30% in.

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks ah bummer! I listened to the Thanksgiving one by Reisz awhile ago and enjoyed it! And usually I'm not big on just sex. Maybe the Halloween one was worse? I might have to check it out just to see if I'm more depraved than I thought! ๐Ÿ˜

My hubby and I are on a roadtrip and started listening to Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson. We're enjoying trading theories!

@lenoreo It is pretty funny too. I don't think it's bad, just not for me.
