GetToKnowMeThursday 💛

🍋 Do you like knowing if a book has a happy ending before reading it?
~ oh Yes!! I know it’s bad but I don’t have the patience to wait till the end before knowing if a book or a movie is happy / sad / cliffhanger ending.

🍋 What is a book you liked more than you were expecting?
~ One Dark Window

🍋 What book on your TBR that you keep putting off?
~ Tessa Bailey’s books. I read 1 out of 7 of her books that I have on my shelf, and i didn’t really enjoy it. So I’ve been putting off reading the rest.

🍋 What bookish icks that you have in terms of tropes?
~ I don’t usually enjoy second chance trope, surprise pregnancy, she falls first, and extreme age gap.

❓What’s your bookish icks?❓

Tagging some of you so I can get to know you more.

how much do i read in a week: after being in a three month long reading slump edition☀️

i’m finally out of the woods!! but it’s been fun rediscovering some of my favorite things, including watching shows/movies, writing, and singing/playing the keyboard🥰

#books #book #bookstagram #whatireadinaweek #bookstagrammer

the first two days of the week i locked in to finish never over by Clare Gilmore.

i really enjoyed this book, i loved the setting of this book where they’re on tour and writing songs. Paige’s friendship with the side characters were so heartwarming to read as well as her’s and Liam’s. the dual timeline was another thing i appreciated in this book.

my only stumble was that i didn’t connect as much as i usually do with the main characters. but nevertheless, it was an enjoyable fun summer read💕

then, i started sounds like love by Ashley Poston. this book i picked up on my birthday, and it exceeded my expectations. i really loved this one!

i also have been dreaming of this coffee order from harlan+holden — their butterscotch latte😚 the foam is absolute perfection, and i love especially how balanced the coffee tastes after asking for a single shot instead of double.

#novel #fiction #coffee #coffeeoftheday #coffeeandbooks

on the weekend, i finished sounds like love — i absolutely devoured it on saturday 🤭 you can tell how much i love a book once i start reading hundreds of pages within a single day!

i ended up rating it a 4.75⭐️ how i connected to Joni was something i felt so deeply, and towards the end i even cried a bit🥹 my favorite thing about this isn’t necessarily the romance, but more on the message of how music keeps the memory of something we love alive even after it passes 🫶🏻

afterwards, i decided to continue reading and now back to you by B.K. Borison, while i’m also rereading a book in between.

overall, this has been a productive week reading wise!

i have left the idea of needing to read faster or needing to read all the time, and decided to make room for other things that fills my soul too!

and turns out it actually has served me better than i expected. maybe a cha

ARC Review Backup for The North Star & The Sun
By @whatjcreads

I love this book!! I re-read the first few chapters during my break time because i refuse to believe there's a love triangle early in the chapters. But after that re-read, i can assume that the love triangle is only between Emi-her past-her present. First love is unforgettable, hits deep, and memorable in some ways. Whereas for your true love, it's constant, solid and accepting. That's how i felt with the 2 men in Emi's life. Is it why the title is North Star & Sun to potray both men? The script is written nicely, the flow and the plot is what make this pop. I also love when they converse in text messages (it's probably just me) HAHA and the smut is there ofcourse. For me, it ticks every boxes of what a romance book should be. My only hope is to see this script gets published so i can hold the book in my hand. Other than that, well done Ai, and thank you for letting me read it.
