Thanksgiving Freebie
My freebie topic is going to be:
Books That Lifted My Spirit This Year (AKA: Rom-Coms)
Besides being thankful for family, friends, and pretty good health this year, I have also been thankful for some great books that have helped me get through COVID-19 social and physical distancing. Some of the ones I’m most thankful for are romantic comedies because they make me laugh. Here are some of my favorites I have read this year.
1. The Match
Author: Sarah Adams
This was my first book by Adams, but it won’t be my last. It brightened my day.
2. Hate the Player
Author: Max Monroe
Every book Max Monroe released this year could make this list This is my favorite.
3. Cheesy on the Eyes
Author: Teagan Hunter
Teagan Hunter always knows how to make me laugh.
4. The Change Up
Author: Meghan Quinn
Every book Quinn writes has me in giggles.
5. Jock Blocked
Author: Pippa Grant
I feel like I should just say “ditto”. Grant knows how to make me laugh like Meghan Quinn does.
6. AWK-WEIRD
Author: Avery Flynn
The awkward-weird combination was a winner.
7. Frenemies
Author: Emma Hart
Emma Hart has some seriously fun books. I love her characters — especially if the books contains grandmas.
8. See Me After Class
Author: Meghan Quinn
And I’m back to Meghan Quinn because she’s the queen of rom-coms. This one had me laughing out loud.
9. The Roommate
Author: Rosie Danan
I don’t know that this one is marketed as a rom-com, but it made me laugh.
10. Not My Romeo
Author: Ilsa Madden-Mills
Same as #9. Probably more a contemporary, but I appreciated the humor in this one.
Aww, what a fun list!
My post.
Thank you!
The Roommate was definitely a lot of fun. And Meghan Quinn is always good for some funny, feel-good romance. 🙂
I agree!
Great list! I did linger on The Change Up cover for a long time because he is simply stunning!!!
Thank you! He really fits the character.
I might need to read then!!!
You should! It’s a cute story!
I need to give The Match another try soon! I also enjoyed that Teagan Hunter book. Great list!
I hope it’s better the second time around. Did you see Hunter’s next one is coming out soonish?
Thanks!
No I hadn’t seen that one yet. Thanks for the heads up!
These look like ,lots of fun! Thank goodness for good rom coms to lighten up life!!
I know, right? We all need a little funny these days.
Awk-Weird is a favorite of mine! I just adored it. The Roommate was another fantastic book. It surprised me in the best way. I think Not My Romeo qualifies as rom-com. It was quite humorous.
I’m so glad you liked these as well! It was hard to narrow down my picks.
I agree. Rom-coms have been fabulous this year. I really enjoyed The Switch and The Happy Ever After Playlist.
I still need to read those two!
Great list. As I have not read any of these books, I will have to see which ones I need to add to my TBR.
Thank you! I hope you find one or two to try out. Let me know how they go if you do!
I have only read one book on this list and gahhhh!!!
I do have the Meghan Quinn book because Ari said I’d love it. And also The Match! I can’t wait!
I hope you love both of them! I think you will!
Great list! I have The Match on my wishlist and I like the sound of Awk-weird. xx
That Match is one I think you will enjoy. I can’t remember if Awk-weird will be or not, but it might…
I loved this list also I’m so happy you introduced me to a lot of these authors!!
Thank you! I hope you find one or two to try.
I’ve read and loved all of these authors, but haven’t read these books! More to add to my to-read list 🙂
Really? That’s awesome! I hope you love them if you read them.
I love this topic and I’m sad that I haven’t read any of these! The Match looks good!
It’s really cute! I would recommend it!
This is a perfect topic! I need all of the books to be uplifting right now. 🙂
Then this a good one! It starts off sad, but grows.
This year has been so hard so I’m glad you found your comfort in these books <3
Thank you! 🙂
Thank goodness for rom-com’s this year, right?? I’ve heard good things about Awk-weird, so I’m happy to see you liked it!
Yes! I don’t know what I would have done without them. Awk-ward is HILARIOUS! and so good.
Great list! I recently added Roommate to my TBR list and I’m glad to hear that you loved it!
I hope you enjoy it!
I am looking to pick up Frenemies myself. Here’s my post
