4. Did you discover any new authors that you love this year?
Tracey Livesay comes to mind! Also, Jessica Simpson like I hope she writes another book.
10. What was your favorite new release of the year?
Probaby Sarah MacLean's Bombshell or maybe The Lady Got Lucky by Joanna Shupe.
11. What was your favorite book that has been out for a while, but you just now read?
I got into Lorraine Heath's back catalogue and read the more bonkers ones that I've been avoiding but Waking Up With the Duke and The Earl Takes All were both wild in a good way, so I'd totally recommend those two for sure. I also read What Happened by Hillary Rodham Clinton for the first time and it made me cry a nonzero amount (although that may also have been because I read it the weekend that my 4.5 year relationship broke down for real).
12. Any books that disappointed you?
I wasn't a big fan of Portrait of a Scotsman by Evie Dunmore like I liked the first two books in the series but I almost feel like Dunmore leans into the "not like other historical romances" type thing, and that wasn't as evident in A Rogue of One's Own because Tristan and Lucie were so wonderful but the #feminist elements of this one felt super heavy-handed and the execution wasn't great.
