This Is How You Lose the Time War

Give me every second of this sci-fi love story! I loved seeing the letters exchanged by the two main characters, existing on opposite sides of a time-travel war. It's light enemies-to-lovers, so check yes for one of my favourite tropes! And I'm also a sucker for lyrical prose. This was so poetic it made me warm and fuzzy in the best possible way. The only negative was that I wanted more!

My 2nd favorite read in 2024

A Day of Fallen Night

By Samantha Shannon,

Book cover of A Day of Fallen Night

Elizabeth Hrib ❤️ loved this book because...

I want so much more of this fantasy world! This was a follow-up read to The Priory of the Orange Tree. Technically it's set before the events of that book, but I loved being able to dive in, already knowing so much about the world and getting to expand on that. It's got everything you want from a fantasy -- immersive worldbuilding, badass heroines, DRAGONS! I mean, what's not to love here?

My 3rd favorite read in 2024

The Eye of the World

By Robert Jordan,

Book cover of The Eye of the World

Elizabeth Hrib ❤️ loved this book because...

I started watching The Wheel of Time on Amazon and immediately knew I needed to read this whole series. As expected of a lot of older, epic fantasies, it's a little slow at times, but I think this is going to be a 'trust the process' kind of experience. There's apparently fifteen books in the series, so I've got a long way to go. I've also read the prequel, New Spring, and I'm loving being able to add all this background info to my show-watching experience.

Meet Me in a Mile

By Elizabeth Hrib,

Book cover of Meet Me in a Mile

What is my book about?

Lydia McKenzie is not a runner. Not even close. But in her quest to be taken seriously at work—and catch the eye of her office crush—she signs up for the New York City Marathon as part of her architectural firm’s outreach program. Now she just needs to avoid making a fool of herself. Thankfully, she knows how to outsource.

Personal trainer Luke Townsend is definitely a runner, and he’s exactly what Lydia needs to get in shape: experienced, motivational, funny, kind, well muscled… And when he and Lydia bond over her redesign of the Manhattan Youth Center, a place near and dear to Luke’s heart, their training time intensifies from hitting the pavement to hitting the sheets. Still counts as a workout, right?

Suddenly, everything Lydia thought she wanted feels less clear, but she’s determined not to let a little unplanned indiscretion derail her goals. There’s no reason she and Luke can’t keep training as if they don’t share mind-blowing chemistry. They’re professionals. But when her project proposal suddenly hangs in the balance, and her office crush offers some awfully tempting one-on-one help, she’ll have to decide which direction her heart wants to run.
