Hi! I’m Mitch, a bookworm who's always chasing the next great story. I mostly read romance, romantasy, and historical fiction but have been exploring asian...
My biggest win in June is being able to read at least a chapter a day and reaching half of my 2026 reading goal! 🥳 I feel so happy about it since I’ve struggled to get back to reading over the past couple of months. Now, if I can just find the will to write more book reviews and post regularly like I used to, then all will be well haha jk In June, I finished 11 books and 3 CDramas 😂 My inability…
I love it when a romance book becomes more than just about falling in love. Caught Up may not have the most unique plot but the heart of this story is something that you rarely find in just any book. It’s how Kai accepted the responsibility of being a father without second thoughts, how Miller realized that something is only worth doing when your heart is fully in it, how Monty shows that family…
“𝑺𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒔, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒖𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒕.” I couldn’t agree more. As a certified romance girlie, I can totally relate to Indy’s notions about love. But there’s no perfect formula for loving someone, and sometimes it’s the little things that matter more than the grand gestures. The way Ryan made it a point to remember how Indy liked her coffee and prepared it…
I’ve been incredibly curious about James and Madison since the very beginning, so I was really looking forward to reading In Your Dreams. The anticipation was more than worth it because this book is the absolute perfect conclusion to the When in Rome series. Honestly, James Huxley’s middle name should be YEARNING 😂 To borrow his own words, "yearning" doesn’t even skim the surface of it. For a…
Lately, I’ve been struggling to get back into the habit of reading, but I’m just glad I managed to finish 5 books in May 💪 As much as I want to, I’ve been feeling so uninspired lately that I can’t seem to write book reviews or post new content on my bookstagram (@readwithmitch if you wanna check it out haha). Ugh, I hope I get out of this funk soon! 🥲 It doesn’t help that I’m currently so…
There’s something so magical about picking up a random book from your shelf and having it turn out to be exactly what you need in that moment. The Healing Season of Pottery truly lives up to its name. It’s a tender and comforting read, like a warm hug after a long day 🤍 “𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼’𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘁. 𝗦𝗼…
I’m back! 🤍 I was away on vacation, visiting home in the Philippines, and honestly, nothing really compares to being surrounded by family, eating my favorite comfort food again, and spending time in the places that feel most familiar to me. There’s truly no place like home 🥹 I read a little less than usual this month, but I wouldn’t have it any other way ♡ I definitely still have a bad case of…
Jackson Bennett. Yep, that’s the review. Hahaha just kidding (or not!) 🤣 Beg, Borrow, or Steal is a classic tale of a brokenhearted, jaded girl and her decade-long feud with a boy. But there’s a fine line between love and hate, and Jack and Emily are none the wiser. The harder they try to hate each other, the deeper they fall in love, no matter how clueless they are about it 😅 The slow burn, the…
This April, I decided to reread the Windy City series before diving into the spin-off, In Her Own League. To start, Mile High is still an easy and engaging read for me, though it’s my least favorite in the series. But happy to say, I definitely liked it better this time around. Must be because I found myself understanding Zanders on a deeper level. The first time I read this, it felt like his many…
✨ I read 11 books this month, and my favorite is Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. This is my second 5-star read of the year and a well-deserved addition to my list of all-time favorite books. ✨ I finished the Rebel Blue Ranch series by Lyla Sage. I didn’t like the first book, and while the rest were okay reads, Lost and Lassoed is definitely my favorite and also one of my top reads this month. ✨…
