It's that time again where there are 1000's of free books available for download!  I love supporting indie authors and honestly just finding new authors and stories this way!  I have SO many books on my kindle that I will always have options!  If you're new here Stuff Your Kindle Day (also available for Kobo, iPad, Nook, & Android) is a day where many independent authors offer their books for free.  It's a fantastic way to find new tropes, genres, and authors to add to your library.  I personally always look on my computer, but that is also why I created this post to cut down the 1000's of books into the genres that I prefer. I have highlighted Romantasy (my top favorite), sports romance,  and I also left the keywords so you can use CTRL+F to search on here as well.  If you want to check out the full site click here - we don't believe in gatekeeping in the book community!

I'm sure plenty of you have started hearing about Stuff Your Kindle Day but it can be a little overwhelming.  I'm here to help you out and give you some ideas to help make it a little less stressful!  Stuff your Kindle Day happens 4 times a year with the next one being June 30th.  After that there will be another one on September 20th and then again December 27th.  Now, this is a great day to find new authors because you won't find big name authors or super popular books.  I love this because then you can find smaller, indie authors, and of course find new series' to read! 

Romance Book Worms has their blog post all set up for you to search by different categories with descriptions of the book and keywords too!  The categories listed are: Young Adult, Mystery with Romantic Elements, Historical Romance, Fantasy Romance, Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, Sci-Fi Romance, Romantic Suspense, New Adult & Rom Com books, Women’s Fiction and Chick Lit, Sweet Contemporary Romance, Steamy Contemporary Romance, and Erotic Romance.  I highly suggest you look on your computer browser and not your phone so you can use the search feature (ctrl+f) to make searching for keywords you like easier!

Right now there are already some books that are free!  I've already downloaded some and below will tell you what ones I already snagged and what ones I am planning on getting tomorrow.  But before I do, I wanted to give a heads up for those that are newer to romance what some of the keywords mean so that there aren't any surprises!  For example I tend to stay away from "why choose" and "reverse harem" because those aren't genres of books I tend to like as much as others.

• HEA = happily ever after
• M/M = two males
• FMC = female main character
• MMC = male main character
• Dark romance = darker themes with mature content ex. morally-grey, content warnings, trauma, violence
• WLW = women loving women
• Why Choose/Reverse Harem = one woman multiple men, ends up with all of them
• PNR = paranormal romance
• YA = young adult

Here are the books I already snagged, most are romance but wanted to share to give you an idea of what is available!  I have them linked in the description and have the covers below as well that are clickable to "purchase" for free as well!

Are there any on the list that you recommend?  Drop a comment and let me know! 

What a month!  I ended up reading 20 books this month and had such a fun time!  I had planned on reading 5 physical books and then whatever I ended up reading on my Kindle. I only read 3/5 physical books I planned but then I ended up reading others as a buddy read and because I got sucked into a few series. These are all the physical books I read and some I enjoyed more than the others! 

I planned on reading My Saving Grace *KU* and My Favorite Mistake because I got these in my Romance Reveal Box - a Romance book subscription I am trying out! Both were 3 Star reads for me, but they are both signed copies which I thought was pretty cool! I ended up reading Maybe Someday as a buddy read with a friend and then read the second novella, Maybe Not, in the series as well. Although these have a cheating element in them I did like that there was diversity in the book with someone being deaf and using sign language. These were also three star reads for me as well. 

Did you read anything this month?  I have started tracking what I'm reading not only by year but also by month and have been having so much fun seeing what I end up reading. Some months are busier than others but I was able to read quite a few during February!  I have soccer coming up for the next few months so I know my book number will probably be lower but that's okay! It's about having fun reading not the amount that you read. 

This month I read 15 books, and am still currently reading 5.  I mayyy have been a little overzealous with my current reads but honestly I just couldn't decide and kept switching it up between dark, romance, and fantasy. If you don't use Storygraph, it's a fun way to track moods, pages, format, and genre. Maybe it's the math teacher in me but I love all the graphs it shows you where you can break down what you are reading. If you get it add me because I love seeing what other people read along with Goodreads!  I definitely have read more romance but a lot of that was dark romance/fantasy romance as well.  It's so cool how you can click on each bar and see what the books are classified as!

Happy Valentines Day friends!  I decided that I would give you all some fun romance recs in case you want to spend some time this month reading about love.  Some of these I have read and others are on my TBR (to be read) list as well.
