💬 Which Hogwarts house were you sorted into? Do you think it’s accurate? Do you relate more to a different house? . I know some people feel as we change throughout our lives, our Hogwarts house may change as well. But for me, I’m a Hufflepuff through and through. It’s so perfectly accurate that I can’t imagine it ever changing. But who knows for sure. I’ll have to readdress this in a few years and see if I still feel the same. .

A trope you like in fiction but don’t like in real life? - I can do enemies to friends to lovers, I can do mentor adopts protege despite depressions’ objections, I can do Girl Walks Into Dangerous Situation Because She Is Determined, all of them I can do in real life. However, I cannot do “marriage first, love later”. It’s fun in fiction because you can subject all manner of angst to your main couple but still live in the quiet assurance that there’s no way they can break up. And when you lift that into real life? No. It’s horrifying. Why. - You’re essentially forcing a person, the more vulnerable party and thus mostly women, into a legal life contract with another person. And love coming from that is just a romanticized fantasy. What’s more likely is that she’s gonna get physically and emotionally abused and not a single thing is going to be done about it because marriage. - Also teen pregnancies being some great accomplishment. Looking at you Bella Swan. • • • • #bookaesthetic #aestheticbooks #bookstack #livethelittlethings #thatsdarling #darlingescape #darlingmovement #thehappynow #mycozyretreat #myeverydaymagic #verilymoment #styleithappy #aquietstyle #pursuepretty #visualcrush #makeitblissful #darlingdaily #chooselovely #seekthesimplicity #capturequite #simpleandstill #everysquareastory #chasinglight #alliseeispretty #tropes #cliché https://www.instagram.com/p/CEcoSD-AhlP/?igshid=1lm096u1m2zrv

💬 Happy Sunday! How are you spending your day? . It’s gorgeous here today! I’ll be spending as much time as possible outdoors enjoying it. . . Thank you to @simonteen for gifting me a copy of #OfCursesandKisses by @sandhyamenonbooks! I absolutely LOVED the #WhenDimpleMetRishi series!! Of Curses and Kisses is the first book in a new series set in an elite boarding school, and I’m so here for this!!! . . . ✩ s u m m a r y ⇣ The first novel in a series set at an elite international boarding school, that’s a contemporary spin on Beauty and the Beast. Will the princess save the beast? For Princess Jaya Rao, nothing is more important than family. When the loathsome Emerson clan steps up their centuries-old feud to target Jaya’s little sister, nothing will keep Jaya from exacting her revenge. Then Jaya finds out she’ll be attending the same elite boarding school as Grey Emerson, and it feels like the opportunity of a lifetime. She knows what she must do: Make Grey fall in love with her and break his heart. But much to Jaya’s annoyance, Grey’s brooding demeanor and lupine blue eyes have drawn her in. There’s simply no way she and her sworn enemy could find their fairy-tale ending…right? His Lordship Grey Emerson is a misanthrope. Thanks to an ancient curse by a Rao matriarch, Grey knows he’s doomed once he turns eighteen. Sequestered away in the mountains at St. Rosetta’s International Academy, he’s lived an isolated existence—until Jaya Rao bursts into his life, but he can't shake the feeling that she’s hiding something. Something that might just have to do with the rose-shaped ruby pendant around her neck… As the stars conspire to keep them apart, Jaya and Grey grapple with questions of love, loyalty, and whether it’s possible to write your own happy ending. . . . ✩ h a s h t a g s ⇣ #sandhyamenon #pursuepretty #visualcrush #makeitblissful #darlingdaily #chooselovely #seekthesimplicity #capturequite #jamestrevinorepost #simpleandstill #everysquareastory #readya #biblio_feature #bookstagram #styleithappy #bookgram #mybookfeatures #bookshelf #shelfiesunday #shelfie #rainbowshelves #shelfiedecor #creativebookstagram #bedroomdecor https://www.instagram.com/p/CBI_iN3HthL/?igshid=c78lgxqvtqqp

💬 What’s your least favorite romance trope? . I’m not a huge fan of love triangles. I usually tend to steer clear of that trope. Though, in all honesty, I have read some that I did end up enjoying quite a bit. So I suppose if they’re done extremely well, I can actually enjoy them. . . Thank you to @booksparks for gifting me this copy of FAKER by @authorsarahs! This is an enemies-to-lovers romance between two construction workers. I absolutely lovvvvve enemies-to-lovers romances, especially when they’re work-related too! This is a #WRC2021 pick! Are you joining the reading challenge? . . . s u m m a r y ⇣ Debut author Sarah Smith nails this fun and sexy multicultural romance where two office foes hammer out their differences to build a love that will last... Emmie Echavarre is a professional faker. She has to be to survive as one of the few female employees at Nuts & Bolts, a power tool company staffed predominantly by gruff, burly men. From nine to five, Monday through Friday, she's tough as nails--the complete opposite of her easy-going real self. One thing she doesn't have to fake? Her disdain for coworker Tate Rasmussen. Tate has been hostile to her since the day they met. Emmie's friendly greetings and repeated attempts to get to know him failed to garner anything more than scowls and terse one-word answers. Too bad she can't stop staring at his Thor-like biceps... When Emmie and Tate are forced to work together on a charity construction project, things get...heated. Emmie's beginning to see that beneath Tate's chiseled exterior lies a soft heart, but it will take more than a few kind words to erase the past and convince her that what they have is real. . . . h a s h t a g s ⇣ #faker #sarahsmith #contemporaryromance #enemiestolovers #toberead #onmytbr #girlsthatread ##nestandflourish #lovelysquares #capturequite #flaylayoftheday #flatlayphotography #bookphotography #bookpic #readersofinsta #ilovemybooks #themagicofbookstagram #bookish https://www.instagram.com/p/CKAdMeXHvUf/?igshid=wym7wmhlhwji

This beauty releases August 4th! . . . s u m m a r y ⇣ Los Angeles, 1992 Ashley Bennett and her friends are living the charmed life.
