pickQuoted as the first genre romance, I was excited to read this. It far exceeded my expectations, and kept me engaged from start to finish. I can definitely say this book is not going to be very romance readers cup of tea; it has a boat load of rape. No pun intended. #historicalromance #classicromance 140/100 books.
Romance Readathon Day 2 pick. I‘m a sucker for a rockstar romance. This one has been highly rated by people I respect. #romancereaders #rockstarromance #romancereadathon
pickHonestly I thought this would be steamier, since it has next to no actual plot, but I liked it anyway. Even if it did have a weird totally misplaced pegging scene. I was thinking 3 stars, but I honestly couldn‘t put it down so I gave it a generous 4 stars.
Participating in a romance readathon this weekend. This is my first pick. #romance #romancereader #qbtyler #forbiddenlove
Getting back into historical romance, so I joined a book club. #historicalromance #beverlyjenkins #historicalhellions
I‘m usually not a short story compilation kinda girl, but I am a completionist. Let‘s go Harry. #dresdenfiles #thedresdenfiles #polyculebookclubpick
pickSo, this was a reread for me. A college me favorite. Holds up. A little dated in terms of what YA used to be, but back then, YA was actually written for teenagers. The ending is just so… *chefs kiss* Also, first book of the year.
I am finally starting this journey. I hear it‘s fun. #rubydixon #iceplanetbarbarians
This is what I‘m reading right now. I promise to start using this again. I PROMISE.
“When an apple ripens and falls— what makes it fall? Is it that it is attracted to the ground, is it that the stem withers, is it that the sun has dried it up, that it has grown heavier, that the wind shakes it, that the boy standing underneath wants to eat it?
No one thing is the cause. All this is only a coincidence of conditions under every organic, elemental event of life is accomplished.”
“I‘m alive and it‘s not my fault, which means I must somehow go on living the best I can, without bothering anybody, until I die.”
The fascination Tolstoy has in describing all of his female characters with “beautiful faces and tiny mustaches” is kind of beyond me. Things no one tells you about War and Peace…. #tolstoy #warandpeace #classiclit #canonlit #catsandbooks #cats #catsoflitsy
Started today. How long will this epic take me?
