Dahlia Woodson is divorced and needs money so she enters reality competition show Chef’s Special.
London Parker comes out as non-binary and sober don’t accept them. But they start really liking Dahlia and she is just klutzy and fun.
Both get closer, but they are competing against each other and how can they fall in love when one of them can go home anytime.
It’s a really cute romance and but something you see very much but I liked it and enjoyed it.

Do you have a favorite fairytale? What about favorite retellings?
Happy Tuesday, fellow book lovers! Do you have any favorite fairytales or fairytale retellings? I have so many! *Beauty and the Beast* is probably my most favorite fairytale, and I looooove finding retellings for it! One of my favorites is *A Curse So Dark and Lonely*. It’s so good!

What’s your favorite book series? Or, what’s a series you read recently and loved?
Happy Monday, Bookworms! How was your weekend? Did you read anything awesome? I spent most of mine packing for our vacation this week… I’m both excited and anxious about it. Hopefully I will get in some reading time, at least.
Do you have a most favorite book series? Or is there a series that you read recently and loved?? It’s been about 5 minutes since I featured my most favorite series … *The Remnant Chronicles* and it’s spin-off, *Dance of Thieves*, both by the amazing @MaryEPearson! Have you read the series? If not, you totally should! I am planning to start my yearly reread of it soon and I can’t wait to get back to one of my most favorite worlds. What about you guys? Do you have any book series to recommend??

Q: What’s a sequel that you can’t wait to get your hands on??
Happy Sunday, Bookworms! Are there any upcoming sequels that you can’t wait to get your hands on? One that I am SO excited for is *Chain of Iron* by Cassandra Clare! (Does a third book in a series count as a sequel? ) The book was originally supposed to release earlier this year, but then it got pushed to later this year, which made me super bummed. It’s definitely my most anticipated read for 2022. ☺️ What about you guys? What’s a sequel that you’re excited for?

Q: Have you DNFed any books this year? And at what point do you decide to not finish a book?
We’ve made it to Wednesday! I hope you are all having a good week. Today is my day off and I am hoping to spend it reading *The Atlas Six* and catching up on all the things. What are you up to today?
And have you DNFed any books this year? How do you decide to not finish a book? I don’t think I’ve DNFed any books this year … I’ve set more than a few aside, but I definitely intend to get back to them. I’ve actually only DNFed a handful of books in all the years I’ve been reading. I always say that I’m going to DNF if I am not enjoying a book, but I always end up reading it anyways, because I’m always wondering if it will get better. Sometimes I end up regretting that decision, but sometimes it does get better. I think it helps that I’ve been a lot picker about what I read lately as well. Instead of reading ALL the books, I’m just choosing books that sound interesting to me, and I think that helps. What about you guys?

Have you purchased any new books or bookish things recently? If so, what did you get?
Happy Sunday, Bookworms! Have you added any new books or bookish things to your collection recently? I absolutely LOVE talking about new books with you guys, and I’m always curious to see what everyone is into at the moment. I shared a stack of books on Friday that I recently purchased, but I haven’t really purchased much more this month, which is interesting. Maybe it’s just a slow month for me? I know I will definitely make up for it in May with all the awesome new releases that will be coming out. I can’t wait! What new books or bookish things have you purchased recently??

Q: How’s your reading going so far this month? And, what are you reading this weekend?
It’s finally Friday, Bookworms! We’re offically halfway through April and it’s check in time. How’s your reading month going so far? I know this will surprise absolutely none of you, but my month is not going well. ♀️ I have finished two books, which were great, but I haven’t picked up book in almost a week. It’s not cool. But I’m going to try to get in some reading time today, so if you have any reading vibes to spare, I’d love for you to send them my way! This lovely stack of books above are a few that I just recently purchased, and I can’t wait to read them all. (Maybe even one this weekend!) How’s your reading month going so far? And, what are you reading this weekend??

What’s the longest series you own? And/or, what’s the longest series you’ve read?
Happy Thursday! Do you guys see the weekend? It’s almost here! And I’m so ready for it. I’m taking advanatage of today being Thursday because I didn’t have time to take a photo yesterday and am using a throwback photo from last fall today. Just ignore the fall theme.
What’s the longest series that you own? I think the *Shadowhunter Chronicles* is the longest series that I own. If you include all the spin-off series, as I do, then it’s just one long series. I love these books so much! *City of Bones* is one of the books that made me love reading again way back when. What about you guys? What’s the longest series that you own?

Have you ever done a buddy read before? What’s a book or series you’d like to buddy read?
Happy Tuesday, Bookworms… How’s your week going so far? Mine has barely started and I’m already exhausted. Sigh.
Have you ever done a buddy read before? What’s a book or series that you’d like to buddy read? I love the idea of of a buddy read. It’s sounds so fun! I’ve only done two buddy reads so far, and … I’m not very good at it. With my short attention span and frequent reading slumps, I am just the worst at trying to keep up with a buddy. That being said, I have enjoy the books that I’ve buddy read so far. For some reason I immediately thought of the *Beautiful* series by Renee Ahdieh would make a good buddy read. It’s such a good series, and would be great to discuss with a buddy. (I definitely need to read the last book asap!) What would your picks be??

Q: Do you have any pets? If so, tell me all about them! If not, what’s a pet you’d love to have?
Happy Monday, Bookworms! Did you have a good weekend? I hope you did! I took a much needed break from reality this weekend, and it was just what I needed. How was your weekend?
And it’s National Pet Day! Do you have any pets? We have quite a few! We have a dog, Molly, who just turned 15 yesterday. We also have two cats, Lizzie Bennet and Mr. Darcy, and four guinea pigs, Oscar & Oliver, and Hermione & Brownie. It’s always lots of fun at our house. Unfortunately I couldn’t get ANY our fur babies to cooperate long enough to take a photo this weekend, so instead I’m featuring a series that has one of my favorite felines, Grimalkin! Tell me about your pets now! Or, what’s a pet that you’d love to have??

Do you have a library card?? If so, how often do you use it??
Happy Tuesday, Bookworms! Did you know that this week is National Library Week?? It is! Even though I have my own little library, I still use the library a LOT, and am a member at a few different ones in my area. They are ALL Amazing! I don’t visit much in person lately, but I do check out their online content all the time. (Seriously, ALL the time.) They are so great, and so appreciated! I love the library so much. Do you guys ever use the library??

Q: Which do you like more, sci-fi or fantasy books? (If neither, what’s your favorite genre?)
Happy Monday, Bookworms! How was your weekend? Did you get much reading done? I hope you did!
Do you like sci-fi books? What about fantasy books? Do you prefer one over the other? Honestly, I like both. I do seem to lean a little more towards fantasy, but I always enjoy sci-fi when I do read it. Which is not often, because I don’t really know of many sci-fi books or series. I do love a good fantasy though! (Especially romantasy! ) One fantasy series that I am determined to read this year is the *Daevabad Trilogy*! I started the first book earlier this year, but set it aside because of focusing issues, but I am determined to get back to it this month. What are some sci-fi or fantasy series that you love?
And if you don’t like either, which genre is your favorite?

Are you having a good reading month so far?? And, what are you reading this week??
Happy Monday, Bookworms! We’ve officially passed the halfway mark for May, (how?!), and it’s reading update time! Are you having a good reading month so far? Mine has been pretty meh so far, BUT … I did have a really great reading weekend this past weekend, which was nice, and much needed. Hopefully I can keep that vibe going for the rest of the month and find some more time to read as well. One book I’m definitely planning to start this week is *I Kissed Shara Wheeler*, and I’m super excited to finally read it. I hear great things about the book. I’m not sure what else I’ll be reading this weekend, but hopefully it will be something great. So, how’s your month going so far? And what are you reading this week??

How many books do you own?? Or, how do you like to organize your bookshelves??
Happy Sunday, Bookworms! Do you know how many books you own? Last time I counted, (and that was sometime last year), I own well over 1,000 books. I’ve added a lot more since then as well. As you can see above, the stacks and stacks of books are getting a little out of control. But, I am planning to do an unhaul soon and I will hopefully have a few boxes worth to send to donations. And I try to organize my shelves by genre and author, but it doesn’t always work out the way I want it to. What about you guys? Do you know how many books you own? And how do you organize your shelves?

Have you had any recent 5 star reads??
Happy Thursday, Bookworms! Do you see the weekend? It’s so close, and I can’t wait for it to finally be here. Are you ready for the weekend?
And have you read any 5 star reads recently? I have not had one yet this year, (not including rereads), but I would love for a book to completely WOW me soon. It’s been too long, and it’s definitely me and not the books. I’m still in a major reading slump at the moment. It’s no fun at all. ♀️ What books have you loved recently??

Q: What’s your least favorite genre to read?
Happy Wednesday, book lovers! Do you have a least favorite genre? Mine is probably horror. I am not a fan of being scared, so I don’t read the genre very often. I do enjoy the not-too-scary types of books, mostly around Halloween time, but if it’s super scary, count me out. Above are a few that I actually enjoy though! Other than that, I will pretty much read anything. What about you guys? Do you have a least favorite genre?

How was your weekend? And, what books are you hoping to read this week?
Happy Monday, Bookworms! Did you have a good weekend? Did you get any reading done? I did not get as much reading done over the weekend as I had hoped, but I did finish *The Kiss of Deception* and am halfway through *Book Lovers*, so that’s something. I am definitely hoping to finish up *Book Lovers* this week, and then maybe start *Book of Night* next. I have a crazy week ahead, but hopefully I can get in some reading time as well. What books are you guys hoping to read this week??

A few weeks back, I received a package from a lovely woman my sister knows. Little did I know, this woman would turn out to be one of the most unique voices in literature I’ve come across. I finished her book in no time and I’ve been tossing and turning ideas in my head, trying to find out how I’m going to give this book a review that does it justice and is honest at the same time.
Rosehead is story about a girl *ahem, anyone singing the Nirvana song?* who believes her grandfather’s rose garden eats people. The story presents an intriguing interplay between elements of fantasy and mystery. I spent a large portion of my time reading this book stopping to think about whether I believed what was going on or whether the protagonist was making it all up. To me, it’s always an interesting experience having a seemingly unreliable protagonist - and I say seemingly, because the story unfolds beautifully.
Speaking of the protagonist, Lilith is an intelligent 12 year old girl. She is quite snarky for her age; which might seem unrealistic but I didn’t mind it. I’d rather read about unusual characters anyways. Despite her wit, I was constantly reminded that she really is just a child - through her arguments with her mother, temper tantrums and sense of adventure. I was always looking forward to her next excursion with her pet, Panther because that’s when things got really exciting.
Now on to the hard part, which is the things I didn’t like about the book. It’s hard to fault a book you like so much. That being said, I really would have liked more background in this book. I wanted to know more about her past, her “diagnosis” and her parents specially. I didn’t like that when it came to discussing what was wrong with Lilith, a few diagnoses were just rattled off (but that’s just me, I’m a med student and get irked by these things).
The book ended with a cliffhanger - which I’m not sure if it means there will be a sequel or it’s just to keep you wondering. I quite liked that the whole book kept me wondering about what’s coming next, but I would have preferred for the ending to come full circle if this is a stand-alone.
I have to applaud the author’s beautiful descriptive writing. She painted a beautiful and gory garden that I couldn’t stop picturing and I think would make for one heck of a movie. Like I mentioned before, she has quite a unique voice. I wish I could say more about the way she writes but I’m at a loss for words *pun totally intended*.
I’d like to thank Ksenia for the wonderful experience she provides through this book and for graciously sending it to me. And I hope this book reaches more people as it is highly underrated. Find Rosehead on Amazon.
