My future TBR list

 Hello! I hope this autumnal weather that is finally appearing is treating you well. Are there any cozy books on your to-be-read list?

In my case, there are probably several, although more in the romance genre, which to me, feels cozy no matter the season. Nevertheless, not all the books on my list are romantic, there is a bit of everything and today I wanted to share some of those with you. I hope you'll like them. Don't forget that the covers will be linked to where you can buy them if you are so inclined.

Yes, Please by Amy Poehler.


This is a memoir, but of course, one written in a comedy tone. I  really like that kind, although the older I get, I seem to be more into serious ones when just a few years ago I could only tolerate funny ones. I admit I stopped a few years ago when I was listening to Naya Rivera's Sorry not Sorry and the tragedy of her accidental death made me stop because it did not feel right for me to listen to her narrating all the hopes she had for her son and herself.

Back to this one, I confess I have always liked Amy. I couldn't wait for the Golden Globes when Tina Fey and her were presenters just to watch their first monologue. I, of course loved her in Parks, being Leslie my second favourite character (I bet Leslie would understand if she knew who my absolute fav is) and I am currently enjoying her comedy podcast, where she plays an awful psychologist. So, evidently, I would love to know more about her life, even though this book was long ago published (2013), but they say it has funny advice as well and I cannot wait for that.

Okay, before I show you the next ones, a warning: Some are selected following my very own feelings right now, something I have been writing about before, so be aware that there might be a pattern here.

Between The Lines by Jodi Picoult & Samantha Van Leer






This is the story of Delilah, a bookworm who seems to be particularly hooked up with a particular book. And with a specific male character, Prince Oliver. On the page, he seems like her dream come true, but things take quite the plot twist when Oliver himself starts to fall for Delilah and begins to feel trapped in the storyline she reads.

Yeah, I know. I prefer to move on before I lose my mind over this plot because (Ron Swanson: You have ten seconds) OMG I WISH THERE WAS AN INTERACTIVE VERSION OF PARKS AND REC LIKE THAT BLACK MIRROR EPISODE SO BEN AND I COULD FA... (Ron: Time's up) UGH.

I admit I found it because I googled for that kind. You can judge, but I don't care. I am used to liking existent guys who don't like me back and never date me, not fictional ones who obviously will never like me back and date me, so I need new ways to cope. (Wait, is this my own version of Wandavision? Hmm... interesting.)


Just Last Night, by Mhairi McFarlane.


I haven't read much about this plot beyond it being about a girl who falls for her best friend within a close circle of friends and she tells him on a night that will change everything for them.

Are the cones a metaphor? Well, yes and no  Is this going to be a rom-com or a drama? I have no idea and that's how I want to keep it until I read it.

What would Jane Austen do? by Linda Corbett.





This book is literally Beach Read by Emily Henry but with a Jane Austen fan as the main female character. Maddy, a Jane Austen columnist, eventually meets Cameron, a Crime book author who mocks the romantic genre and accepts her challenge of writing a romance while claiming it's going to be too easy.

I seriously hope it diverges from the Emily Henry one or it would be too strange for me. Anyway, it has Jane Austen on the title, I have to read it. Thanks to my beautiful best friend Ann Perkins Elena, who by the way, also has a book review blog! She reads mostly romance and thriller, but like me, we both can read pretty much everything, so you will find a variety of genres. She writes both in English and Spanish, so don't hesitate and check out her site. ^^


The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods.




Three different people seem to be connected by finding a sort of vanishing bookshop that will confront them with their own life stories. 

I think it is way more complex than that, but that's what I got from the summary in both Goodreads and Amazon. Quite the mystery/fantasy novel, I think.

And for now, that's all. Obviously, I have more on my list, but these ones are my more recent additions. If you have read any of them, I would love to read your opinions about them.

See you next Friday.
