Book Tour: The Decoy Girlfriend by Lillie Vale | Spotlight

Published on September 2, 2022August 24, 2022 by HeatherLeave a comment

Welcome to my stop on the TBR and Beyond Tours Book Tour for The Decoy Girlfriend by Lillie Vale! This sounds really good and my type of RomCom: fake-dating, look-alike/doppelgänger, bookish main character (a writer)! Oddly, these last few months have been the summer of horror since that’s all that’s been calling to me (horrors/thrillers/mysteries), which meant my RomCom reading came to a slow (almost hault!). I’m hoping to pick it up soon though, because it really does sound addictive and good! Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom to see the tour schedule for other content creators links.

Odds & Ends: The Book Cover Guessing Challenge

Published on August 28, 2022August 22, 2022 by HeatherLeave a comment

Y’all, I’ve fallen behind on my prescheduled posts and I was scrabbling around for a book tag to do this month. Then I found this one through Zezee with Books, who was tagged by Head in the Clouds, Heart in the Books. It looks like this tag was created by Trey Schnarr Books way back in the day – this was a very old tag, but still sounded like a fun, easy one to do in August.

So the rules:
Pick a few books that you know little to nothing about and guess what they are about based on the cover and title. Then, you compare it with the actual blub on Goodreads and see how you fare.

I’ve decided to use Bookstgram to help pick books for me – easiest way for me to find books I know nothing about lol. Here are the five books I’ve picked that I see often, but know nothing about.
