I Want to End This Love Game Volume Two by Yuki Domoto
Yukiya and Miku have made a game of their feelings by saying they love each other and then pretending not to mean it. Who will crack and admit their love first? What will be the breaking point? A date, perhaps, or a hand-holding contest, or maybe just those three simple words: “I love you?”

Riot Recommendations
Today’s Riot Rec theme is: a race against time! Stories are more exciting when a character has to work against a ticking clock to meet their goals.
The Secret of the Ravens by Joanna Cacao
The Raven Quests seemed like the ideal way for impoverished siblings Liza and Elliot to make their fortune. But the Quests prove more dangerous than they realize, and with Liza’s life on the line, Elliot must risk it all to help her before it is too late. Who will prevail: Elliot, or the poison coursing through his sister’s body?
The Matriarchs by LouAnne Brickhouse, Jennifer Rea, and Renae De Liz
A council of superpowered, female immortals has set themselves an important goal: find an end to male violence. But what happens when some on the council decide that the only “cure” is to kill all men? The dissenters will have to act fast — and confront their own terrible actions — to save them.
We’re really racing towards the weekend now, but don’t forget to enjoy the good stuff along the way, even if it’s as small as a nice birdsong or a pretty flower!
