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!

July Indie Bookstore visit! I’ve been trying to

July Indie Bookstore visit! I’ve been trying to visit at least 1 indie bookstore a month this year. I unfortunately didn’t make it out to a bookstore in June, but I did squeeze in a visit to @bristolbookstore at the end of July 😊This wasn’t my first time here, but it has been a bit since I’ve been in the store and it was my mom’s first visit as well. The mood at this store is just ✨ vibes ✨ & I had a lot of fun browsing the shelves. I ended up snagging two books & had to pick up the LeBron James golden book since he’s a Sixer now 👑🏀. Not shown is a gift for a friend and my mom’s pick 📖Definitely check out this awesome indie bookstore if youre in the area! #indiebookstore #independentbookstore #bookhaul #buckscountypa #nicolelynnreads

May 2026 Indie Bookstore Visit of the month.I’m doing a fun challenge this year to try and visit a different independent bookstore each month of the year. Back in May I stopped by to the @thenextchaptersellersville in Sellersville, PA. This was such a cute bookstore of both new and used books of all genres. It had such a cute children’s section and also had a nice selection of romance and popular fiction titles. I also picked up some cute bookmarks. I ended up going with my mom and we both walked away with some goodies. I found some really cool editions of some classics that I collect multiple editions of as well as a really pretty sprayed edge novel: Stolen Midnights that I cannot wait to dig into! Thank you so much also to @stylemecourt for the gift card! I had so much fun exploring this bookshop and some of the surrounding stores. Still figuring out my June bookshop location. Let me know if you have any ideas of where to go in the PA/NJ area 👇👇#independentbookstore #indiebookstores #buckscountypa #bookhaul #nicolelynnreads

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 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
