Book Recommendations

Since the Summer of 2022 the majority of what I’ve been reading is MM Romance. I discovered this relationship dynamic with my audible plus membership and that led me to read The Understatement of The Year By Sarina Bowen followed by Goodbye Paradise also by Sarina Bowen. Goodbye Paradise is now one of my all time favorite books, and I highly recommend it!

From last Summer to present, I have been hooked on MM Romance, and it has become my favorite dynamic to read in Romance now. I can’t tell you why, but there’s just something about it that hit different for me and made me feel all the feelings more. Maybe because forbidden relationships were already one of my favorite tropes and it happens a lot in MM. I just don’t know, but the magic is there for me in these love stories. ✨ (And yes, I do have tons of MM romances I plan to write under my MM pen name. I will keep y’all updated.)😍

Current Read & Recommendation: The Missing Pieces Trilogy by N.R. Walker 

I wanted to share about this series because this is my THIRD time reading it/listening to the audiobooks. Both are fantastic. 

You can find the ebooks in Kindle Unlimited and the audiobooks in KoboPlus. I subscribe to both reading services and it’s been amazing getting the best of both worlds. 

If you like a series that wraps you in a cozy warm hug, this is it. It has all best of hurt/comfort and a soulmate kind of love. With the perfect amount of spice that enhances the love story, it will make you smile and swoon the entire time. 

This is a comfort read for me that I keep going back too. A story I truly want to live in, so maybe it will be that for you too. 

What are your comfort reads? Drop them in the comments below! 
Happy Reading & Listening!📖🎧💖

Where Have I Been? A Journal Entry on The Last Few Years

Introduction: Hey everyone! Happy New Year! I'm back! I know I haven't posted in over a year and I am here to tell you all about why and what's been going on. I hope your holidays went well, your writing and reading has been joyful, and that you are smashing your goals for the month already. I hope you are doing things you love that bring you happiness and may this year be the best for you! Things Didn't Go As I Planned... Here I am in 2026, not published, not a lot of my goals met that I have set year after year. Some new and some old. Putting out all my words of wisdom, writer advice, and failing at it myself. Story of my life. Lol  I know the secrets, but doing them for myself is a whole different ball game. I've been on a journey these last 5 years since I started writing and I've learned a lot, experienced a lot, and grown up a lot all on the road to success. It will happen for me. Just a few years later than I planned, and that is okay. My writing journey ...

About Me & This Blog

Who Am I?  Hi! Welcome to my blog. I’m R L Tynes. I'm a romance reader, writer, coffee lover, cat mom, fangirl, and knowledge seeker trying her best at slow living by prioritizing peace and joy. I'm always searching for my next hobby, and when I'm not doing that, I'm probably sleeping way to much. Lol  Why did I choose to start a blog in 2023? I kept thinking about how I wanted a meaningful, safe, and cozy space to have an online presence in that was 100% positive, uplifting, and in my control.  A place that didn't leave my mind spinning and fill me with negative feelings like social media sometimes can. A place to share longform content, document my own writing and publishing journey, and share more information for writers.  I also thought I would love to blog, and I still read blogs to this day, finding helpful information through them. I want to be apart of and contribute to the author/blogger community. So here we are like it's 2007, and I can live out my ch...

Writing What You "should be" writing vs. Writing What you Love

 As this year comes to a close, I wanted to share about the battle of writing what you think you should be writing vs. what you love. When I first started writing, I thought I should write a YA fantasy very much along the lines of Twilight. Now, I still love Twilight to this day as much as my 13 year old heart did, and I will forever be in the fandom and my heart in Forks, WA, but as I was writing my Twilight-esque book, I noticed it got harder and harder as I went on. I wasn't loving the book anymore. It's because I was reading and loving all of these steamy contemporary billionaire romance novels and that is where my heart was, and what I was supposed to be writing. Not forcing out a book that teenage me would like. Or I found "more respectable or credible" somehow. But the truth was I wasn’t reading YA anymore and  I shouldn’t have been writing in a genre I wasn’t passionate about anymore.   So, I quickly wrapped up that book to give myself some closure and then s...
