Romance in the Coffee Rings

Happy Holidays from Romance in the Coffee Rings ✨🎄 Hi my sweet bookish friends 🤍 As the year wraps up, I just want to take a moment to say thank you !!  for the love, the comments, the DMs, and every cozy moment we’ve shared over romance books and coffee rings this year ☕📚 This space means more to me than I can put into words. 📅 A Small Schedule Update (Starting January 5th, 2026) With the new semester around the corner and college demands picking up, I’ll be making a gentle shift in my posting schedule. ✨ Starting January 5th, 2026 , I’ll be posting weekly instead of daily .

A Little Finals Week Pause ✨📚 Hi, my loves 💕 I wanted to pop in really quickly with a warm latte and a little update. So  Romance in the Coffee Rings will be taking a short, cozy break until after finals. No worries, this isn’t goodbye… It’s more like: BRB, studying with a caramel latte in hand. ☕📚 Thank you so much for understanding and for always being the sweetest part of this blog. Love you all endlessly. See you right after finals. ✨💕 Finals week is creeping up on me (…and by creeping, I mean full-on sprinting at me 😭), And between my math exam, environmental science work, case studies, and group project, my brain feels like it’s running on decaf. As much as I adore posting here every day, I’m realizing I need a tiny breather to finish this semester strong. I’ll be back once exams are over, refreshed, caffeinated, and ready to dive into all the holiday bookish magic  winter romances, cozy tropes, festive coffees, everything ❄️💗 — Erica 🤎☕📚

Ryan Shay is my favorite kind of hero: closed off, broody, and absolutely convinced he doesn’t believe in love. Indy? She’s warmth, chaos, and emotion in human form — the exact kind of woman who burrows under a man’s skin when he’s convinced he doesn’t need anyone. This setup already screams slow-burn longing . The forced proximity, the jealousy, the blurred lines, the “we’re not really dat...
