About Me

Welcome to my little corner of the internet. Here you'll find book reviews, book lists, cover reveals, author interviews and basically anything book related that I'd like to share! I'm an avid reader & love to explore all genres. As my reading habits have changed, you'll mainly find romance reviews here now, but I also have an array of YA and MG titles. You'll also find a mix of non-fiction, mystery, & thrillers. I love to travel, hold up in coffee shops & explore the shelves of bookstores. I'm mamma to kitties & a puppy. Really, I just cannot wait to talk books with you! Thanks for stopping by!

Just a moment for one of my favorite series by @ravenkennedybooks - The Plated Prisoner series! Absolutely in love with the gold drip from @createfantasycrafts! It makes me smile every time I see it on my shelf 🥰#platedprisonerseries #bookcollection #bookhoarder #shelfiedecor #nicolelynnreads

Late to the game but so excited to finally have all the new paperback versions of the Shadow Beast Shifters series by @jaymineve! They’re so pretty 🥹 && look wonderful on my Jaymin shelf (which is running out of room at the moment lol). Thank you, Jaymin, for this wonderful series! Here’s hoping the last three books get picked up, too 🤞🤞Also, if you haven’t read these yet - do!! This is one of my all time favorite series (hence all the editions I keep buying 😅). Definitely a must read series! #shadowbeastshifters #jaymineve #shifterromance #bookdragons #nicolelynnreads

Had a wonderful time Tuesday night at @doylestownbookshop with my bestie, @stylemecourt! I LOVED getting to listen to and meet @andimjulie and @nishawrites! Nisha did a wonderful job leading the conversation and Julie’s responses!! — I laughed SO MUCH! Thank you both for your time, your humor, for the photos, and for the memory! I cannot wait to dive into Julie’s latest release: Student Union which contains some of my favorite tropes: friends-to-enemies-to-lovers, one bed, forced proximity, marriage of convenience, & set on a university campus. I know this is going to be such a fun ride! I also picked up Nisha’s romantasy: Illusions of Fire which interweaves mythology and Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Supernatural vibes (which im so here for!) Cannot wait to jump into this one as well and get my enemies-to-lovers & romantasy soul fed! Thank you, @doylestownbookshop for another great author event! 💕#bookevent #booktour #romancereads #doylestown #nicolelynnreads

Enjoyed a relaxing morning supporting a local indie bookstore for Independent Bookstore Day! Thanks so much @lahaskabookshop for such a nice morning and all my new goodies 🥰Drop below where you went today for Independent Bookstore Day 👇👇xx Nicole Lynn 💋#independentbookstoreday #independentbookstore #bookhaul #supportindies #buckscounty

I had the pleasure to attend a few recent book events hosted by the @doylestownbookshop over the past couple of weeks.The Doylestown Bookshop always has such a good array of authors coming through and I’m so grateful & lucky to be able to attend and also to have such an awesome indie bookstore nearby! First up:Of Course It’s Good by Jessica Secrest (@applesauceandadhd) on April 10 I cannot wait to try out some of these delicious receipts! It was so fun seeing and hearing from Jessica in person - she is just as funny as in her videos and so real and relatable! Next Up:The Mother-Daughter Book Club by Susan Patterson (@suesoliepatterson) and James Patterson (@jamespattersonbooks) on April 21.Last night’s conversation was a delight. James was incredibly funny and it was wonderful to hear from Sue and him describe their writing process and the inspiration behind some of the characters in this book. Considering they went to Lake Como for “research” for this book - I know the setting is going to be fun to dive into. I’m looking forward to buddy reading this with my mom. Overall some really lovely nights out celebrating books and hearing from some awesome authors! Cannot wait for more bookish events during the rest of this year.Remember this Saturday is Independent Bookstore Day - so go out and support an Indie Bookstore!! xx Nicole Lynn 💋#bookstorevents #bookevent #independentbookstore #buckscountypa #nicolelynnreads

💕📚 March Bookstore Visit!! 📚💕 Had the chance this

💕📚 March Bookstore Visit!! 📚💕Had the chance this past March to finally visit @kissandtaleromancebookshop in Collingswood, NJ.This was my first ever visit to a romance bookstore and Kiss & Tale did not disappoint!! I was in literal book heaven and it took so much effort to not just buy everything in sight 🤣🤣 I adored the store’s layout and the fun photo-spot room that had Letters to Juliet playing on the TV. Being able to browse by romance genere was SO FUN and seeing Mr. Darcy made me smile. It felt like a store built just for me 🤣. Everyone was incredibly nice and I’m looking forward to visiting again! Scroll through for all the book and goodies I picked up on my visit, including the fun Kiss & Tale hockey jersey that I wore to the flyers game later that month hosted by the shop 😊What other indie bookstores should I check out this year? Drop them below 👇👇xx Nicole Lynn 💋#independentbookstore #romancebookstore #romancereadersofinstagram #romancebookstagram #nicolelynnreads

🏬📚 February Indie Bookstore Visit 📚🏬I took inspo from @alltoo.wellread this year to visit a different independent bookstore each month. In February I stopped by @townebookcenter in Collegeville, PA & picked up some cute goodies including a blind date with a book (swipe to unwrap)! This bookstore is located in a fun shopping promenade with lots to do and the shop itself had a large array of books to choose from, including my favorite Pelican editions of Shakespeare’s works that I’m currently collecting - naturally had to pick one up! I can’t wait to go back for another visit! Definitely check them out if you’re in the area 😊💕#indiebookshop #independentbookstore #townebookcenter #bookhaul #nicolelynnreads

🐉🧡 Fourth Wing Night at the Flyers! 🧡🐲Had an incredible time at Fourth Wing Night at the Philadelphia Flyers! All of the activities were so fun and it was so nice seeing @kissandtaleromancebookshop there. Thank you so much @rebeccayarros & @philadelphiaflyers for this event! Would love more book themed game nights 😉🧡#fourthwingnight #philadelphiaflyers #fourthwing #nicolelynnreads #hockeyandbooks

🐲Fourth Wing Reading Update - Part 2 🐲 Made it 50

🐲Fourth Wing Reading Update - Part 2 🐲Made it 50% of the way through so far in this video (3/8) and wanted to share my thoughts. Again - warning for spoilers! Hopefully not too many people will be spoiled since this book has been out so long but just putting out the warning anyway. So much happened by the time I got to the 50% mark and it was a wild ride! My love of fantasy was definitely getting fed though and I cannot wait to finish this one up. Spoiler pt. 2 - I did not end up finishing it before the hockey game so I’m going to have 2 more video updates after this one 😊Also lowkey miss having my TikTok account as I feel like these videos make more sense over there vs here on Instagram - oh well lol 😂 Let me know your thoughts etc below! Need friends to chat about this book with lol 😂 #fourthwing #firstreadthrough #empyreanseries #nicolelynnreads #seducedinthestacks

Friends! I’m finally reading Fourth Wing — crazy, I know! I can’t believe I haven’t picked this one up sooner but the hype around it was definitely chasing me away. Anyway, now I have a true deadline - Fourth Wing Night at the Flyers!! So naturally I have to actually read the book beforehand 😅😂. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to chronicle my reading journey of this one - my thoughts & predictions etc. I usually post this on the ⏰ app but I actually deleted my accounts on there and the app - so welcome IG to my bookish ramblings! Letme know below if you loved or hated this one! #fourthwing #readingvlog #nicolelynnreads

✨ Monthly reading wrap-up ✨ Missed sharing out Ja

✨ Monthly reading wrap-up ✨Missed sharing out January’s epic 10 books read which I think is a PB for me, so I’m sharing it out now alongside with my February wrap-up. This year I’m really focusing on reading books I already own as well as trying to read more than just romance 😅. Some standouts:- The Witchlands series by Susan Dennard — the first two books in this series are a reread for me but I’ve forgotten how much I loved this world and high fantasy. - The Excitements by CJ Wray. This was an audiobook I borrowed from the library I think way back in 2024 and finally just finished. I kept starting and stopping it which honestly don’t know why because it’s such a great historical fiction with mystery, humor, and emotional relationships and character growth. Did I mention women spies? There are spies in this one! It’s also based on real life sisters. Anyway this was a great read and I’m glad I picked it back up and finished it this year. - For Every One by Jason Reynolds — this one is a super fast read. Honestly it was the message I needed at the time I read it and I’m glad I own this one so I can read it whenever I need to hear that message again.- Las Madres by Esmeralda Santiago — This one was so good! It centers around 5 women (3 mothers & two daughters), but more specifically the one mother - Luz - who grew up in Puerto Rico. There is a lot to unpack with this one and definitely a lot of trauma so please check the trigger warnings. Overall though I loved the intimate look / experience with Puerto Rican culture and the true strength of these women and their bond. - That Self-Same Metal by Brittany N Williams — this read was one I listened to via Spotify which was a first for me. It was a blind read as in I didn’t know what the book was about. It was such a fun listen! This has Shakespeare, first love/lust, and fae - but like darker fae. I loved June the FMC who was badass! There’s LGBTQIA+ representation in this as well as instances of overt racism (so please check trigger warnings). I cannot wait to pick up the next book in this series!#booksread #monthlybookwrapup #bookstagrammer #nicolelynnreads #bookworm
