Cosplay and Confrontation Sarah Zane Publication date: September 26th 2023 Genres: Comedy, Contemporary, New Adult, Romance Pride and Prejudice meets the legends of King Arthur in this sapphic rivals-to-lovers, sweet romantic comedy packed with plenty of banter and tension. Obstinate and headstrong cosplayer Elaine Knight prided herself on two things; her quality cosplays and being a good judge of character. Gwendolyn Reid took both of those from her. They used to be best friends, until Gwen broke their best friend’s heart and skipped town. At least with Gwen out of the way, Lanie was a shoo-in to win the upcoming cosplay contest. Except now Gwen’s back. Gwendolyn Reid should be thinking about meeting her fans, winning the cosplay contest, and dancing at the ball.

Lucky for them both, it is a ...

Review: A Date With Darcy - Book #1 Bookish Boyfriends - Tiffany Schmidt - May 2018 I have always loved books with a take on the classics like Austen, Shakespeare's, Brontë’s, and Louisa May Alcott's. So, when I saw this cutesy YA read "A Date with Darcy" I knew I had to give it a go and read it.
