skygiants: Izumi and Sig Curtis from Fullmetal Alchemist embracing in front of a giant heart (curtises!)
I am traveling A LOT this next month and a half, so most of what I am reading is a.) Kindle-enabled and b.) of the generally comforting variety that makes you feel better about life while you're stuck on an airplane and your brain is only half-working.

Barking Up the Right Tree is therefore exactly the kind of thing I want to be reading right now, being a cute contemporary romance novella that centers around:

a.) lots of lovely descriptions of all the beautiful autumn stuff that I'm missing out on this year by being constantly on a plane
b.) lots of lovely descriptions of really delicious-sounding baked goods
c.) lots of INCREDIBLY CHARMING PUPPY ANTICS

Lilly Grant is a good friend, which is an excellent thing for me because I find contemporary romance very hit-or-miss generally and otherwise would probably not have discovered this novella and known that it is exactly what I want to be reading right now! So, I mean, I am deeply biased, but also: it's 100% great. I'm not even a dog person and I'm super charmed by everything that happens; if you ARE a dog person, I'm fairly sure this will be your jam. Also if you are a tech person frustrated by obligatory long hours and the overwhelming presence of tech bros. Or a person who loves delicious baked goods. Or, generally, a person who loves cute tropey rom-coms.

(NB: The novella is not the sexy kind of romance novella, it's very rom-com PG-13 levels, which I mention because I know it will be a bug for some of you and a feature for others!)
