How will you take a moment to pause, breathe, and savor in this season? 🍂🍁

This time of year, you’ll be hard pressed to find me without a cup of tea. ☕️🫖

Whether I’m going for a slow stroll in my neighborhood, sitting down to write my romantic fantasy series, or cozying up on the patio with a good (audio)book, I love to have a cup of tea in hand.

Lately, I’ve been having mostly herbal teas while watching my caffeine intake. But there’s something about fall that makes me crave black tea with a splash of almond milk and a bit of honey. Decaf Breakfast Blend to the rescue!

This one is by Taylors of Harrogate, which is exclusively imported by Brands of Britain. I found several types in stock at my local Walmart in the coffee and tea aisle.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to enjoy reading more beta reader feedback on my YA romantic fantasy novel, Ash and Light, while I have another cup. Cheers! 🫖✨☕️

Today on Kobo Plus, you can explore over 300 curated romance books—including YA, romantasy (where my YA romantic fantasy, Smoke and Light, is located!), and fantasy romance! 🥳

You can browse two ways:

📚 By cover ➜➜ https://geni.us/YOLOWithKobo

📚 Or find even more books by category/tropes ➜ ➜ https://koboplusromancebinge.com/

These books range from YA to Adult age categories and in content from no spice to spicy. So you’ll want to pay attention as you browse to find the books best suited to your preferences!

🤔 But what IS Kobo Plus? 🤔

It’s a subscription program by Kobo that offers you unlimited ebook reading and/or audiobook listening for one low monthly price.

Have you ever seen a post on social media, or maybe an ad on Facebook referencing a book you really want to read, only to find out it isn’t in KU?

Well, it could be on Kobo Plus. The borrowing format on Kobo Plus is the same, and Kobo Plus features thousands of books that aren’t available in KU.

Bonus: there’s a free trial period that you can start today to read this weekend!

Sign up for Kobo Plus here ➜ ➜ https://geni.us/KPlus

✨What is Kobo?✨

An app you can download to your phone or tablet, like you’ve downloaded apps like Libby or Kindle to your phone or tablet. They also have a branded e-reader like the Kindle and B&N’s Nook.

You must have the Kobo app or the e-reader to get your free month of Kobo Plus – and to continue with the program, if you so choose.

Search for your next Kobo Plus read broken down by category/tropes ➜ ➜ https://koboplusromancebinge.com/
