I read a friend’s review of A Guide to Being Just Friends the other day and it sounds SO cute. Definitely my kind of book. I added the first in the series to my TBR so I can binge them soon 🙂

I also love the sound of “A Guide to Being Just Friends.” Wintertime is the perfect time to snuggle up with a good rom-com book. Adding that one to my list.

Great post, Jodie. I’m going to have to record The Wedding Veil Journey, it looks great. I probably would never know about it without this post.

I shall check the Apple TV one as not much on there at the moment. I am waiting for The Morning Show season 3.

I find that with Apple TV too Jamie! I like The Morning Show too.

You got me interested in several of these books. I have a long-to-read list already, but I think all book lovers have one.

I agree Crystal! And for us that love books, it’s never-ending!

I love Lori Wilde’s books, but have not read this series, so maybe I will watch it instead. Great post, Jodie.
