This weekly meme was started by @Lauren’s Page Turners. It is now being hosted by Budget Tales Book Blog. To participate, choose a random book from your GoodReads TBR and show it off. Which sounds easy enough until you have to decide how to choose that book! I think I will use a different way each week, like picking a color or number of pages. I will let you know each week how I chose the book and then something interesting about it, like how it ended up on the list or why I want to read it. Got it? Okay let’s get started.
Happy Monday to you all! I hope your week is off to a good start. Not much going on here, just the same old same old. Which I guess is a good thing. It is February and with Valentine’s day on Friday I thought I would highlight a romance for this week’s Goodreads Monday. This one is the third book in a slow burn romance novella series that I have really been enjoying.
Last Chance to Save the World by Beth Revis
Publication Date: April 8, 2025
Summary from Goodreads:
The explosive, satisfying conclusion to the Chaotic Orbits novella trilogy sees Ada and Rian breaking into a high-security facility to give Earth a fighting chance at survival
Sexy, fast, fun and funny, this happily-ever-after ending is perfect for fans of the Murderbot novels and the Wayfairer series
After a few weeks trapped on board a spaceship with Ada (and, oh look, there’s only one bed), Rian has to admit that maybe Ada’s rebels have a point. The nanobots poised to be unleashed on Earth are infected with malware that will ultimately leave the residents of Earth in a worse position than they’re in now. But is it too late?
Ada and Rian arrive on Earth with little time to spare. Together, they have to break into a high-security facility and infect the nanobots with a counter-virus before they’re released in order to give Earth a fighting chance. And if Ada happens to notice some great tech laying around in this high-security facility she shouldn’t have access to and then happens to steal a bunch of it when Rian’s not looking? Well, he knew who she was before he teamed up with her. And if he wants it back, he’s going to have to catch her first.
With countless twists and turns, this enemies-to-lovers slow-burn and high-tension romance plays on a Sherlock and Moriarty character dynamic rooted in science fiction with a heavy romance and mystery angle.
I am very excited to see where this one goes and how it all ends. I just adored the first two books, Full Speed to a Crash Landing and How to Steal a Galaxy, and the audiobooks are great too. I just might have to give them a listen before I read this one. Or maybe after when they are all available. I already have the ARC and hope to read it soon as this one is out in April.
Do you have this series on your TBR? How excited are you for the release of this final book? Let me know in the comments.
Until Next Time…

This does sound interesting. I can’t believe that it is almost Valentine’s Day. Not that I do anything much but I like to get the kids excited about themed days 🤣
