📖 What’s Inside the Replay
Cozy reading sprints: Two 30-minute focused sessions with ambient music (perfect for diving into your TBR!).
Book Recs Galore:
Bro and the Beast by L.C. Davis: A hilarious omegaverse MM werewolf romance where a frat boy hero gets transported into a shifter romance novel (and hello, fated mates!). Available on Kindle Unlimited and audio via Everand. This one obviously for “Werewolves”
Sweep in Peace by Ilona Andrews: A dramatized audiobook gem (via Everand) with mystery, banter, and fantasy flair. Loving this installment in the Innkeeper Chronicles. Reading this for “Frosted Tips”
A Rival Most Vile by R.K. Ashwick: A closed-door cozy fantasy romance for the “Crystal Lake” prompt (think rivals-to-lovers without the spice!).
Where did I even hear about Bro and the Beast? Check out karouslibrary on Insta for some amazing book recs and adorable reading sidekick.
Why You’ll Love This Replay
Reading Updates: Get inspired and add books to your TBR.
Flexible Participation: Read along anytime—perfect for busy schedules!
Sneak Peek: Find out why Bro and the Beast hooked me (spoiler: Omega heroes + accidental heat cycles = chaos!).
