And then there's the books I couldn't really include due to conflict of interest-ish things. Which is why I'm shouting out The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna and Tanked by Mia Hopkins here up top. Because I read and blurbed them both pre-release. That sort of makes it a little hinky to put them on my personal reading roundup, you know? But Mia and Sangu are fantastic writers, and I'm so glad to their stories on the New York Times's first-ever list of year-end Best Romances. I also want to squee about The Candid Life of Meena Dave by my friend, Namrata Patel. It's more mainstream fiction with strong romantic elements—and I really enjoyed those elements. Highly recommend!
