If You Like ‘People We Meet On Vacation’ Add These To Your TBR
The Emily Henry rom-com universe is moving to the big screen!
Who else is excited for People We Meet On Vacation with Emily Bader and Tom Blyth on Netflix? We’ve been counting down the days, and it’s finally here!
Emily Henry has said that this romance novel is quite similar to the iconic film When Harry Met Sally, which is the ultimate friends-to-lovers blueprint.
Poppy and Alex are a dream team and the best of friends, but of course, they don’t share their true feelings. It takes years for Poppy to realize that she is in love with Alex, but she can’t risk the friendship because they’re so different.
If you need more romance novels after watching/reading People We Meet on Vacation, you’ve come to the right place!

The 10 Most Anticipated Book Adaptations Of Fall 2025
2025 has been filled with incredible new book releases. For some reason, most of the book adaptations are released in the last quarter of the year. There are film adaptations that everyone is excited about. Some may not be aware that these books are being adapted, so MBC is here to help you all.
The books listed below are also among my most anticipated for the second half of the year. Hopefully, we can read them before they head to the big screen. From romance to horror to sci-fi, here are the 10 most anticipated book adaptations for the rest of 2025.
If You Like Matchmaking Add These To Your TBR
There are plenty of romantic tropes we’ve grown to love, but not many people explore the world of matchmaking. Modern dating has changed drastically, and it’s up to authors to create romantic stories for us to fantasize about.
In Celine Song’s sophomore feature, Materialists, she returns to the origin of what it means to be a partner. Simplicity was the focus for Song on telling this modern romantic drama.

Which ‘Onyx Storm’ Fan Art is Your Favourite?
Hello, Onyx Storm fans!
We LOVE diving into the Empyrean series as our BONUS BOOK of the month. This month we chose Onyx Storm after reading Fourth Wing and Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros for book club last year.
Whether you’re a fan of Violet Sorrengail, Xaden Riorson or Violet’s besties Rhiannon, Sawyer and Ridoc, here’s some unique fan art for everyone!
Which Second In Command fanart from ‘ACOTAR’ Is Your Favourite?
Rhysand’s seconds-in-command are two beauties who bite. Amren and Morrigan “Mor” keep everyone in line in the Night Court.
Mor and Amren have gone through so much and have persevered in the darkest times. They are the glue holding everyone together with Rhysand.
Which Archeron Sister Fanart From ‘ACOTAR’ Is Your Favourite?
The Archeron sisters have been interesting to follow the more Feyre interacts with them as a Fae. Nesta and Elain are vastly different, but they agree that remaining together is the best decision.
The sisters are all described beautifully in the book and the artistry in the fanart is nothing short of gorgeous.
Which BatBoys Fanart From ‘ACOTAR’ Is Your Favourite?
We LOVED A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas, one of Maude Garrett’s favourite books.
The three characters who stood out in this sequel are the “BatBoys.” They are pure Night Court Royalty. If you’ve been a fan of Rhysand, Cassian and Azriel, the three combined are lethal.
Which Rhysand Fanart Is Your Favourite?
We LOVED A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas, one of Maude Garrett’s favourite books.
There is one character who stands above the rest and that is, of course, Rhysand. We have searched to collect fanart for the High Lord of the Night Court.
