 #55. Ivory Apples by Lisa Goldstein. 3.5. If your great aunt wrote Narnia and you had to deal with the deranged stalker fans. 
#56. The AI Who Loved Me by Alyssa Cole. 3.5. Falling for the hot AI next door in a Google dystopia.
#57. Trade Me by Courtney Milan. 4. Love, if Steve Jobs had a son. The HEA is kinda unrealistic, but the climax is so satisfying, I didn't really care.
#58. Hold Me by Courtney Milan. 4.5. Forget romance, the real fantasy: STEM alpha nerd realizes he's wrong, actually rethinks his philosophies and genuinely apologizes.
#59. The Year of the Crocodile by Courtney Milan. 4. Really more of a short story, featuring Trade Me protagonists.
#60. Once Ghosted Twice Shy by Alyssa Cole. 4. The alternating time frames work surprisingly well in this sweet Reluctant Royals spin-off.
#61. Can't Escape Love by Alyssa Cole. 4. More satisfyingly deals with the asshole parents from A Duke by Default.
#62. A Prince on Paper by Alyssa Cole. 5. Perfect treatment of the engagement-of-convenience trope. 
#63. Mrs. Martin's Incomparable Adventure by Courtney Milan. 5. Thelma and Louise, only older, gay, and instead of self-destructing they drive an asshole nephew insane instead. Delightful.
#64. The Pursuit of... by Courtney Milan. 4. Utterly ridiculous love interest shouldn't be charming and yet is, in the aftermath of the Revolutionary War.
#65. Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters. 2.5. Conceit of ghosts whispering their poems in one town's graveyard is clever and a lot of fun for the first half, but this needed to be about half as long.
