🌶 Spicy Romance Book Mail 🌶

Opening book mail is always so fun! Check out that beautiful packaging Nina Marie | Indie Romance Author used to send me a galley copy of 'Whatever You Do, Don't Get Engaged' The black & gold celestial theme is totally my vibe!

The matching book swag is 🔥 Magnetic bookmark plus stickers? Oh yeah!

Personalized & signed too? Be still my heart, I may swoon. Book girlies love signed books as much as the books themselves. Am I right?

Now, I haven't read this yet, obviously. But I come prepared. Swipe to see what's the most essential accessory when reading anything by Nina Marie. I'd even go so far as to say you can't be a Fan Club member without it. 🌶

Book Description: Jack knows he can't do things halfway with Jess. Not anymore. He wants her in his home, in his life, in his future.

But trust doesn't always come easy.

The neighbor's constant interruptions, the subtle lines Jess can't ignore, and the fear of repeating old heartbreaks threaten to unravel the fragile balance they've built. Jess wants to believe Jack sees only her. Jack wants to prove he's already chosen her.

Between laughter, fights, and the quiet moments that feel like home, they'll discover whether love can survive doubt and whether two people can build a life together when the world keeps testing their bond in Whatever You Do, Don't Get Engaged.

Hear Our Voices Book Tour Stop: The Fire Serpent Legacy by Cindy L Rodriguez 🔥🐍

Part Brazilian folklore, part ecological warning, the Fire Serpent Legacy is a page-turning middle-grade adventure rich in cultural details. This thought provoking novel shines a spotlight on the ongoing and potentially catastrophic deforestation of the Amazonian rainforest and its wide reaching impact upon us all.

With the mythical Boitatá, 🔥 🐍legendary protector of the forest, as the basis of the story the author has woven a tale of courage, family legacy, cultural heritage, and the consequences of greed. Written for a middle-grade audience this book is perfect for classroom discussions and would be a valuable addition to home libraries as well.

❓️ Did you know it’s estimated that between 17 and 20 percent of the Amazon has been destroyed over the past fifty years? Scientists warn that the world’s largest rain forest is approaching a critical tipping point past which there could be severe, irreversible consequences for the planet. 

Thank you to Hear Our Voices author and HarperKids for the which is headed to Gram's Garden Little Free Library!

Thanks to our friends at Tiny Reparations Books and Little Free Library for the gifted copy of Double Happiness by Heather Eng for Gram's Garden Little Free Library 🥳

Visitors can expect to see this novel on the adult shelf soon!

About the book: Caught between a relentless tech job, her adoring fiancé, and an unexpected new flame, Mei must learn what it means to choose herself

When Mei Li runs into Alexandre Brodeur at a family function, there’s no denying their chemistry. It turns out Alexandre, whose brother is married to Mei’s younger sister, is back in town rebuilding his life after two decades toiling away in academic research. Somehow, Alexandre’s different from the young scientist Mei met years ago. His intelligent eyes and quiet air of mystery have a magnetic effect, drawing her in like never before.

But Mei’s carefully constructed life has no room for Alexandre. She’s engaged to Joey, a fellow Queens native who keeps her grounded as she pulls eighty-hour weeks at Livin, the tech world’s hottest startup. After a childhood marked by financial and emotional turmoil, Mei finally has the stability she’s always craved.

In Mei’s brief moments away from her crushing workload, Alexandre is an uncomfortably enticing presence. It doesn’t take long for their thoughtful conversations and his electric gaze to get under her skin, leaving Mei to wonder what she really wants in work, life, and love.

With her wedding date fast approaching, Mei has to make an impossible choice between two very different men. And after she does, she still must figure out what it truly means to have it all.

A RAPUNZEL RETELLING AFFIRMING THAT BLACK HAIR IS BEAUTIFUL!

Acacia: A Rapunzel tale is a celebration of Black identity, empowering young girls to embrace and love themselves. A perfect storytime read for kids ages 4 to 7 years old, this book is delightful, empowering, and available at Gram's Garden Little Free Library!

✨️ Acacia: A Rapunzel Tale ✨️

JaNay Brown-Wood (JaNay Brown-Wood ), illus. by John Joven ( John Joven )
Pub Date: Sept 8, 2026 | Ages 4-7 | Charlesbridge

Book blurb: Acacia has been locked away by Ma Gothel, left to wonder about the world beyond her tower walls. She spends her days reading stories about the outside until one day, Mahogany from A Little Red Riding Hood Tale happens to find her tower. When Mahogany sees Acacia let down her long, twisted hair for Ma Gothel to climb, she returns to befriend the lonely girl.

Eventually the girls realize they can untwist Acacia’s hair in a way that will make it impossible to let the locks down for Ma Gothel. An escape plan from the tower unfolds, because friendship—and a dream to see the world—are powerful.

Ultimately Acacia’s Black hair is personal expression and her own super power.

TRINKET EXCHANGE UPDATE: I'd planned to add a bunch of new goodies to the Trinket Exchange this week. I even had some special surprises in store. However, someone has once again taken almost everything and left nothing in exchange. 😒😟☹️

So, if this is how it's going to be week after week after week then I'm done supplying a Greedy Grabber with new goodies. People are welcome to come swap trinkets or even add items without swapping. But I'm taking a break from stocking it. It isn't fair to everyone else or to me when someone decides they don't have to swap, they can just take, take, take!

➡️ There are always stickers and bookmarks available next to the board books bin that aren't part of the trinket trading. But EVERYTHING on the door is a part of the Trinket Exchange. Take One and Leave One is how this works. If that isn't respected then it doesn't work at all.

🪴 About this book 🪴

Aloe Vera's Special Gift

A beautifully illustrated story that teaches children about self-worth, kindness, and resilience.

Perfect for read-aloud moments, classrooms, and keepsake collections.

El Regalo Especial de Aloe Vera

Una historia bellamente ilustrada que enseña a los niños el valor propio, la bondad y la resiliencia. Perfecta para momentos de lectura en voz alta, aulas escolares y colecciones de recuerdo.

🪴 Discover the Healing Power of Being YOU! 🌿

A heartwarming picture book about self-worth, kindness, and the hidden magic of aloe vera.

When Aloe Vera looks around the garden, she sees brilliant blossoms and dazzling petals—while she feels plain and prickly in comparison. No one seems to notice her... until a summer day brings sunburns, scrapes, and rashes—and Aloe steps in to help.

As Aloe uses her soothing gel to heal her garden friends, she begins to understand something what makes her different also makes her extraordinary.
