In the past week, I haven’t made any progress on my Up Next shelf. My finished reads (as you can see above) have all been historical romances–and all by the same author, too! However, I’m currently reading two books that are from my Up Next shelf: If I Had Your Face by Frances Cha and How To Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi. I’ve been reading How To Be an Antiracist for a month now but I’ve enjoyed reading a chapter here and there between my fiction books. I’ve also still been prioritizing watching TV rather than reading, which is why reading If I Had Your Face is taking so long.

The Nations by K.A. Knight came out last week and I’m so excited to continue the Their Champion reverse harem series. However, it’s definitely bittersweet since The Nations is the last book in the series! Worth has been one of the best–and most badass–Heroine’s I’ve read in quite awhile.

This upcoming week I’m planning on post two book reviews connected by the theme of challenging beauty standards, specifically the extremes women take to attain conventional beauty ideals.

I think I’ve included The Ippos King in what seems like the past month’s weekly wraps because the release date kept changing. However, the release date is finally here: The Ippos King (the third book in the Wraith Kings series) is will be released on October 6th!
