As the cloudy rainy weather moves in and the curl up with a hot cup of tea feeling starts to bloom I begin to think about all the books and movies I could read/watch.

Do I pick the long time favorites like the “Skye O’Malley” saga by Bertrice Small or the “Bridgerton Series” by Julia Quinn?

  1. I like to read YA books on a rainy day.. Nothing in particular, just something that I wouldn't wanna put down.
    Either that or any book by DeeAnne Gist. The rain would be more romantic with a romance book :)

  2. I like to read romance and sci-fi. My favorite all time read is "If I Pay Thee Not In Gold". It is an older book but still a good one. I always have Pride and Prejudice playing in the background.

  4. I would say that my fave rainy day movie is Princess Bride! And my fave rainy day read is a good historical romance - something I don't read enough of lately, like Bertrice Small or Madeline Hunter. :)

  6. My favorite book to read on a rainy day is whatever book I'm reading at the time. I usually have so many books on my TBR pile, I'd rather read something new than go back and reread something.

  9. Thanks for a fun post! I love to watch Pride and Prejudice w/ Kiera Knightly or completely opposite, the Aliens trilogy. Or if I want to read I shut my eyes, spin, and grab from my TBR mountain range :)

Blog Tour: Romancing the Countess by Ashley March

About the book: Sebastian Madinger, the Earl of Wriothesly, thought he'd married the perfect woman-until a fatal accident revealed her betrayal with his best friend. After their deaths, Sebastian is determined to avoid a scandal for the sake of his son. But his best friend's widow is just as determined to cast her mourning veil aside by hosting a party that will surely destroy both their reputations and expose all of his carefully kept secrets...
