“the loudest words are the ones we live”

I’ve been fortunate to find new-to-me authors that I’ve become utterly obsessed with. One of those authors is Alexandria Bellefleur. When I read an ARC of Count Your Lucky Stars back in January I was hooked and I couldn’t get enough. So it was obviously a no-brainer that I had to read the other two books in the series. And let me tell you, I became just as enamored with Elle, Darcy, Brendon, and Annie as I did with Margot and Olivia. This series was such a feel-good series with likable characters that I loved so much. Why did it have to end? I’ve become so engrossed in these books and these characters that felt like family and I didn’t want to say goodbye. I’m so glad that I found a new favorite author in @a.m.bellefleur and I can’t wait to read everything else she writes. Seriously, I just desperately need more of her words! “I like who I am. A lot. What I do, who I am, it makes me happy. And I ... I deserve someone who likes me exactly the way I am, mess and all. I need to be able to know that. I need to hear that. I need to believe it. I deserve someone who can say it.” -Written in the Stars “Because letting Brendon get to know her meant letting him in. It meant trusting him with a million left facts, all the haphazard pieces of herself, and hoping he'd remember them all.” -Hang the Moon “I’m a whole person. And the idea of needing to find someone to make you complete seems like bullshit to me. The right person shouldn’t complete you, they should love you the way you are. And it’s cool if they make you want to be better, but they should never make you feel like you’re too much or not enough exactly as you are.” -Count Your Lucky Stars #alexandriabellefleur #writteninthestars #hangthemoon #countyourluckystars #writteninthestarsseries #bookish #bookobsessed #bookstagram ##bookstagrammer https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbf0XGFr2UB/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’m slowly making my through @devneyperry’s backlist and last week I binged her Lark Cove series. Devney has a knack for writing small town romances and she does it so effortlessly. It’s no surprise that I loved each book and it’s only made me want to visit Montana so bad. It seems with every Devney book I read it just makes me want to jump on a plane and make it happen. I highly recommend this series and ALL of Devney’s books, honestly you won’t be disappointed. Annnnnnnd I’m also ecstatic that Devney decided to revisit Lark Cove and we’re getting another book in this series!!! I. Can’t. Wait. “I like to take the tattered and lost and make it shine. Garbage doesn’t have to stay garbage. Things just need to find their right place.” -Tattered “I’m not much of a fighter and I rarely stand up for myself. But I’m standing up for you. I’ll fight for you.” Her hands slid up to my cheeks, pushing me back so she could look me in the eye. “I’m not letting you go. And I’ll never leave you behind.” -Timid “I was falling in love with my grouchy, tormented neighbor. I was falling in love with a man who was sweet and kind. I was falling in love with a man who had a little magic of his own.” -Tragic “Be bold. Find your magic. Chase the impossible.” -Tinsel #devneyperry #larkcoveseries #smalltownromance https://www.instagram.com/p/CasWpqQJ85F/?utm_medium=tumblr

One of my favorite reads of January was this book right here! I loved this book so much, Naomi and Knox were *chef’s kiss* Lucy Score’s books always brings a smile to my face and fills my soul with happiness. Once I started then finished Things We Never Got Over it only solidified why I can’t get enough of Lucy’s writing. The grumpy/sunshine trope is one of my favorite tropes and I eat it up every singe time. I think Lucy did an incredible job showcasing just how amazing the dynamic between Naomi and Knox was. These two just radiated off the pages. Naomi’s caring and selfless heart just made up half the amazing person she was. And Knox with his surly attitude and grumpiness for days you’d think that these two wouldn’t work, but dear lord did they ever. The chemistry was undeniable, the sexual tension was tantalizing, and the connection they shared was unmatched. They were exactly what the other person needed in so many ways. Things We Never Got Over was a fantastic read. Knockmeout was the quintessential small town and it definitely had its charm. There’s no question I loved Naomi, Knox, and Waylay but I also had a soft spot for the supporting characters. It’s true, when one of their own is in need of help the whole town comes together and rallies around and does anything they can do to help. I really hope we’ll get more of them in the future especially Nash, Lina, Lucian, and Sloane. An overall enjoyable and heartwarming read. https://www.instagram.com/p/CaSkrZdL1gm/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been on here and honestly it feels kind of weird? I woke up this morning with the sudden urge to post something, why after all these months without being active on here, I have no idea. I also felt excited to take book pictures which is rare since I haven’t had motivation in a looooooong time. I also finally started reading again this year after not doing so in the last couple of months. I don’t know how long this feeling will last so I’m just going to roll with it and ride this wave for as long as I can. The Calamity Montana series is still on my mind after I finished my ARC of The Bully earlier this week. @willanashbooks delivered enemies to lovers perfection, it was *chef’s kiss* so dang good. Definitely recommend you read this small town series. So it was only fitting to showcase the special edition covers of the series, aren’t they just beautiful? I can’t wait to add The Bully to my collection. Hope life’s been treating you well and you’ve been kind to yourself. ✌🏻❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CaNdpTKvpyq/?utm_medium=tumblr

i honestly don’t really have anything to say other than these are some of my favorite books. happy sunday friends. 💜 •a happy list• -iced coffee -criminal minds -watching bts videos on youtube (the number of times i’ve watched the butter video of them performing on the bridge is unhealthy) -dancing to “Kesi” by Camilo -listening to “Funeral” by Maisie Peters -blue raspberry jolly ranchers -mini dance parties while cooking dinner https://www.instagram.com/p/CSU5ebtLbvI/?utm_medium=tumblr

the tin gypsy series is by far one of my favorite series. this series is filled with suspense, action, intrigue, mystery, and a group of characters that are just amazing individually as well as with their significant others. i’m excited to start my arc of Tin Queen, but i’m also feeling some type of way since it’s the last book in this series and it’s everything bittersweet. 😪 i honestly don’t want to see this series end. and fyi, the reason why Fallen Jester isn’t in this picture is because it may or may not have suffered a casualty. 😩😭 and yes, i do in fact have to order another signed copy. highly recommend this series and everything Devney Perry writes.

happy release day @jaymcleanauthor! 💙 . • i’m suuuuuuuuuper excited to read this and i wish i could jump right in buuuuuut i still need to read Logan and Leo 🙈 and though i’m not one to make a tbr for each month since i’m a mood reader, i’m definitely making an exception for July and adding these three angsty reads to my July reading stack. . • BLURB They could’ve been perfect. In another time. Another world. Where his wasn’t falling apart. And hers wasn’t already in pieces. - High school senior Holden Eastwood only has one fear in life: growing up. He spends his days unmotivated, moving from one game to the next, searching for his next challenge. He never expected that challenge to come in the form of a girl… A girl with zero fashion sense, a filthy mouth, and a bullsh*t attitude. Unlike Holden, Jameson Taylor had no choice but to grow up. Neglected, isolated, and forced to raise herself, Jameson only has one goal in life: graduate and move on. The last thing she needs is some guy she can’t stand suddenly declaring her as his new hobby. Their lives couldn’t be more opposite. Their pasts a complete paradox. But in each other, they find the unexpected… They find solace. Fragments of forever… A forever that might tear them to pieces. . • • • #jaymclean #piecesofyou #piecesofme #piecesduet #holdenandjamie #youngadult #newadultromance #bookish #romancereads #romancereader #ireadromance #bookstagram #bookstagrammer https://www.instagram.com/p/CQy4Wn4NXpX/?utm_medium=tumblr
