Welcome to another TTT! Today I’m sharing ten books I never reviewed on my blog and what I thought of them. I did not receive these books for review, which is why I don’t feel bad for deciding to not review them in more detail. Since 2025 is the year of sharing my thoughts on every book I read, regardless of whether I got it for review or not, I thought it would be fun to go back and talk about some of the books I didn’t have time to review in recent years. Things have gotten fuzzy on many of them, so I might only mention my star rating in those cases.
Just Friends Forever by Martha Keyes
I love the friends to lovers trope, and this one was really cute. Troy is very sweet, and even though I don’t usually like the celebrity/famous person character I ended up really liking Stevie as well. Lots of emotions with this one! And I love a closed-door romance that can feel sexy and swoony without the steam. This one did just that!
A Deal with the Elf King by Elise Kova
I saw “Beauty and the Beast” vibes and was immediately intrigued, but the enemies to lovers was just too brutal in this one (namely because it went from hate to love SO fast). I did like the writing style, so I might try this author again someday.
My American Duchess by Eloisa James
I really, really loved this one and it’s the book that made me an Eloisa James fangirl!
The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen
I quickly grew obsessed with this entire series, and binged it all. I’m hoping to start the 5th one soon! I love the audiobooks.
An English Bride in Scotland by Lynsay Sands
I’m not usually one for Highlander romances, but I loooooved this one! It was witty and funny and so romantic. I also really enjoyed the audiobook narration.
Love, Loss, and Pasta Sauce by Stephanie Taylor
I think about this book a lot. Sunday runs off to Italy and buys a major fixer-upper of a home and falls in love with the country and the people. It’s so heartwarming and happy! A true escape. Plus, there’s a segment that takes place at Christmas and I loved it.
The Last Bookshop in London by Madeline Martin
A STUNNING WW2 historical fiction that I adored. I highly recommend the audio, but I also own it in paperback and on Kindle so I’m set for whatever my heart desires when I decide to re-read it. lol.
First to Fall by Jenny B. Jones
Oh my goooooosh this is such a good marriage of convenience closed-door rom-com. I’m obsessed with it.
The Rose Code by Kate Quinn
Another really amazing WW2 book. It’s so exciting and ahhhhh.
A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas
I feel like I’m in the minority on this one, but I really love this festive novella in the ACOTAR series.
Do you review everything you read, or do you take a break for non-review books?
