The next KU book I finished this month is Twist Me by Mia Monroe. This the 6th and final book in the Tattoos and Temptations series.  I read the other books in this series in 2021 and forgot about this series before this book came out until the end of 2022.  Twist Me is a male male age gap romance between Grey, a trans male tattoo artist, and Mitsu, a pansexual Shibari master.  Grey has a lot of touch issues, control issues, and trust issues at the start and even though he's attracted to Mitsu, he's worried about being tied up and that Mitsu won't want him if won't play in Mitsu's ropes. But neither of them can deny their attraction to the other and after a lot of talking, they work through all they're barriers. It was a cute book but it wasn't great. I think if I had read this back in 2021 when I read the others and right after this was came out, I would've liked this better. But I'm glad that I remembered this series and finished it off. Working on...

 My first KU read of 2023 is actually a trilogy. The Mail Order Brides of Darling Creek. But I put the trilogy as one book into my reading journal. These books are 100 - 120 pages long each. The first book, A Baby for the Bride, was my favorite of the 3. I would give it 4 stars on its own. Unfortunately, the series goes downhill after that. I ended up giving the whole series 3 stars. The title, A Baby for the Bride, made me think she was going to get pregnant immediately. But that is not the case.  Zeke has gained guardianship of his cousin's infant after his cousin's death. He is the owner of a ranch and is having difficulty working the ranch all day and taking care of a fussy, non-sleeping baby all night. He applies for what he thinks is a nanny but actually orders a bride. Serena just found out her boyfriend cheated on her. She doesn't have enough money to get her own place so she's still living with her ex and now the girl he cheated with. She needs to get out of Ch...

 Hello, I'm back for 2023. Let's see if I can stick with this a little longer than I did in 2021. Yikes! 2 whole years ago. Here are my reading goals for 2023: 1. Read quality over quantity. My average rating for 2022 was 3.47. I had about the same number of 4 and 5 stars as I did 2 and 3 stars. I would like my average rating be closer to 4. I think this means that I'm gonna need to DNF more. If I think it's gonna a 2 or 1 star book, I just need to DNF it. 2. Work on series. I have a list of series that I'm working on and ones I would like to start. I want finish as many series as I start. And make a bunch of progress in other series. I started the Argeneau series in 2022 and read 6 books. But there's 35 books in the series and I don't think the series is complete. I plan to read one Argeneau book a month to make progress in this. I also need to DNF series that are just mediocre.  3. Branch out from romance. Contemporary romance is my fave genre. Especially ...
