Romance Reading Challenge discussion

X:
▪️XENON: Read a book with an MC who is either a scientist or is studying to become one
▪️X: Read a book with the letter “X” somewhere in the title
▪️X-MAS: Read a book set during Christmas

Xenon- Motion by Penny Reid
The MC is a 19 year old genius. Mona is nerdy, smart, self concious and so stinking cute. Abram is a hot singer/ songwriter. Add in some mistaken identity and you have one hot week trapped in a Chicago town house.

Xmas - Grim Christmas - TS Joyce

X & X-MAS. I read Exmas By Winter Renshaw. I gave it 2 stars. It kept my interest but was pretty mediocre

For X I read Love on Lexington Avenue. I'll probably read a few Christmas romances too.

For XENON I read Connie Willis's Bellwether, which is about scientists but not really sci-fi in the traditional sense. And it's tagged as romance so I'm counting it! It was okay, Willis is definitely a boomer, but also that story on ONTD a little while ago about influencers at that radioactive lake reminded me of Cherenkov blue being a fad color in the book. So whew. We are ridiculous.

For X-MAS, I read Holidate by Monica Murphy. It was pretty cheesy but that works for a Christmas book, imo.
