POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Get to know me, as today marks the 3rd anniversary of my bookstagram 💞

Decided to do this post, from me to you, for you to get to know better the person who’s bts. and hopefully makes you want to stick around 🥹

On the day i started this account i really didn’t think much of it, of what would be become.
The reality is that became a place i cherish with my heart ❤️ I get know new people, make new friendships, create content, just simply be free to share a hobby i love.
In 3 years i made beautiful friendships, that i know will be for forever, people that now mean everything to me and we are always there to support each other, and for this im very grateful for. The best gift these 3y gave me.

For all the ones who keep on supporting me, regardless if im not very active (which happens often), all i can do is let you know that im very grateful for all the support and can only thank you and promise to always also be there for you💞

Also very exciting to see the new faces that have joined and decided my account was worth their time 💞 Hope by the end of this post you feel connected in some way. I’m not the most active or post regularly for that matter, but i always make sure to give my best 💌

Let me know if we have anything in common🤭
And can’t wait for the years ahead, cause i don’t plan on leaving 💖🥳

- with love, lígia by @readingsince22

The Defender by Ana Huang ⚽️🧘🏽‍♀️

Book 2 - Gods of the Game Series
Vincent & Brooklyn

⚽️ Football Player x Coaches Daughter
⚽️ Roommates
⚽️ Forced Proximity

As we have “The Keeper” coming out soon on October 27th i believe it’s time that i share my thoughts on The Defender.
And, to be honest i really wasn’t sure how this book would go but it was such a lovely surprise!!
It really was a fun light read.
I ended up timing this read during the world cup so it also helped getting into the mood. That’s what also urged me to pick up the book ngl😎

In book 1, i already predicted that these two, Vincent and Brooklyn, were gonna be interesting, we only had a slight (almost nothing) mention but it was easy to imagine how this could go 🤭

⚽️ Vincent is the Captain of the Blackcastle Football Team, he has endless charm and is funny, but he’s also vulnerable and just true to his feelings.

🧘🏽‍♀️Brooklyn is the sports nutritionist of the team, she has a great humor but it’s also down to earth and fights for her own battles. She’s the friend that will be there for you anytime.

Overall, they are the couple that just makes sense for them to be together. Both have a great humor, fun personalities and natural charm. I think my favorites parts were when they would be vulnerable with each other and just simply wanted someone to be there to support them, even when they weren’t actually dating. 🥹

I also love how Ana Huang always adds some plot to the story. So the light mistery was a great mix to keep the story going and intriguing. I mean this is Ana Huang, she never disappoints!!

Very curious to read The Keeper, but let me know which one is your favorite,The Striker or The Defender ?!
Honestly i personally love both 🩵

RK & RQ - The Kingdom Duet by Rina Kent
Jonathan & Aurora

Reign of a King 🤴🏽
Coming into the Reign of King, the impression i had of Jonathan was bad, I hated him… but now I actually love him 🫣. But Aurora, i knew nothing about her, we hadn’t met her yet in this world…so it was a whole new character we meet and also learned about her story !!
This first part of their story was something that I was not expecting of enjoying so much! It’s full of questionable spice but is also full of mystery, deep intric thoughts, good plots and i loved every second of it !!

Rise of a Queen 👸🏽
Jonathan, in this second book, came to prove the real man he is and how much is secretly loves his family. How a great of a man he is (in his own way) and i truly can’t believe i once did not like him.
Aurora had the rebirth she needed. Shes a very strong FMC and her journey was amazing to see. She could have gone down and bad but she made herself a strong sucessful women and that’s one of my fav things to witness.

Both helped each other heal wounds that seemed didn’t have to be healed but eventually just made them a better version of them. They are a power couple. ❤️

But this duet was not only about their love. It has so much mistery and action and kept me intrigued from beginning to end. Truly a great plot i didn’t see coming. I am honestly completely in love with Jonathan’s and Auroras story - The Kingdom Duet.
I loved that we got to see more bits of Aiden & Elsa and Levi & Astrid and how far they have grown. l really just love this family!!! 💖
..
Will miss them everyday!!! Can’t wait to meet the new generation!! 🥺

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

current read check in ❤️

i’m currently at 60% of Rewind it Back by Liz Tomforde. I’m gonna be honest, of all, this one hasn’t been so easy to get through it…Since this is more of second chance kinda of thing, i think that’s what making me not to be in the story so much…
But i still have so much to read and finding out about these two !! So much that’s happened that hasn’t been unveiled yet !! And all books have been beautiful and so i know this one will be as well !!

hope you’re enjoying your current read cause deep down i really don’t want to finish this book…knowing this is almost the end of an era… if we are counting Monty’s book 🥺

ps: i have the best buddies to keep me company and i have this thing that i always need to sleep with my book next to me, to my pillow, or i’ll feel guilty and feel like my bed it’s empty 🫠🥺 i’m probably the only person who does this … by @readingsince22

Reckless by Elsie Silver 🤠
Chestnut Springs Series | Book 4
Theo & Winter

🌟Reverse Grumpy x Sunshine
🌟He falls first
🌟Secret Baby
🌟Small Town Romance

First of all i’m just gonna say that i loved it !! And should have definitely read it sooner !!

Acidental pregnancy is up there on my top 3 of the tropes i hate most, but this books is THE exception!

Winter is seen as a cold, heartless, mean women… and in the previous books, the way the other characters spoke of her, made me also not to befriend her. But she’s so much more, and i’m glad she found someone who saw her true self. And me, as person who’s often seen the same way… i felt so seen and understood… it warmed my heart so much that made me ball my eyes. 🥹

Theo is just recklessly hot and inviting, the opposite of Winter… and maybe that’s why they work so well. Theo was already a good man but watching him become a father was the most endearing moments 🥹 He’s full of energy and passion. He’s one of the best MMC i would say 🩵

Winter and Theo are perfect.
There’s not one thing i would change about them.
Their story it genuinely healed something in me. It showed that there’s no such thing about being “too complicated” , “to hard to love”.. The right person will love u easily. I literally cried because how perfect the book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Darkest Temptation ❄️
The Made Series | Book 3
Ronan & Mila

🪽Mafia romance
🪽Captor/Captive
🪽Grumpy vs. sunshine
🪽Enemies-to-lovers
🪽Forced proximity
🪽Age gap

So this book is probably not for everyone, and I was also questioning how I was supposed to ever like it ...

Ronan is a big, scary, Russian-tatted mafia man, and he was really pushing it in the first half of the book. I wasn’t the biggest fan... his actions were so infuriating!! 😡
But somehow this man showed facets of him that started reaching my heart... and like Mila, my heart kinda melted for him.

Mila is quite the opposite of Ronan…What I loved about Mila was that she always put up a fight !! She made the darkest man love the color yellow... She’s the queen, honestly. She really was the light in his life. 🥹

These 2 in the same house, I believe they turned over every room, like turning tables, breaking dishes, chairs, doors... it was so entertaining to watch them fight to just end up in each others arms again. 🙂‍↕️😎
By the final i was still not pleased with some of Ronan’s actions in the start of their story, but after everything he did for Mila, to have her, I’ll have to turn blind, ups.

it is so hard when you know he’s so fucking questionable but goes and does stuff like only feeding vegan food in his house because he knows she’s vegan !!! 🤯🫠🥹
How can a women resist ??? and that’s just an example..

This is the final book of the made series and what i can say is that is definitely a bit more darker (or questionable if u want to use that term also) than the others, and u have to be a bit more open minded to be enjoy i would say😅.

After all 3 books, overall “The Maddest Obsession” is my favorite, Christian and Gianna. We got a bit more glimpses of them two in this book and i realized just how much i missed !! ❤️‍🩹🥹
