This Time Will Be Different by Misa Sugiura . #QOTD: Do you buy special editions of books? ✨ . #AOTD: I do! This book is an @illumicrate special edition with yellow sprayed edges 💛 But I also have the rule that I don’t want to have multiple copies of the same book, which I think I have stuck with so far (not counting classics of course). Just because I want to save shelf space. I think if I ever do really become obsessed with a book and there are special editions of it, I will cave, but so far I’ve stayed strong! 💪🏻 . . . #illumicrate #specialeditionbooks #limitededitionbooks #harper360ya #bookcover #bookbox #bookstagram #reading #lovereading #booklover #readersofig #bibliophile ##misasugiura #thistimewillbedifferent #beautifulbooks #bookphotograph #contemporaryya #yalit #yafiction #yabooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B7rnidIgkEH/?igshid=1jximto11mj93

My next teen contemporary from @pagestreetya ! May 16, 2023 ~ A year ago, Gage survived a car accident that killed his best friend, Hunter. Without the person who always brought out the best in him, Gage doesn’t know who he is. He likes working as a fry cook and loves his small-town friends and family, but they weren’t in the wreck and he can’t tell them how much he’s still
hurting. He just wants to forget all his pain and move on.

So when his stepdad shows him a dream job opening in one of his idol’s restaurants, Gage knows this is his chance to convince everyone and himself that he’s fine. To try to push past his grief once and for all, Gage applies for the job, asks out a crush, and volunteers to host a memorial for Hunter.

But the more Gage tries to ignore his grief, the more volatile it becomes.

When his temper finally turns on the people he loves, Gage must decide what real strength is―holding in his grief until it destroys him, or asking for help and revealing his broken heart for all to see. #yabooks #grief #healing #death #writersofinstagram #books #contemporaryya #smalltownusa #smalltownlife #sadbooks #softboy ~ https://www.instagram.com/p/Cma5WYLOMmI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

💬 Do you enjoy retellings? What classics would you like to see done more often? . Of Princes and Promises by @sandhyamenonbooks is the second book in a new series set in an elite boarding school that’s a contemporary spin on fairytales, this one a romantic twist on The Frog Prince! Thank you to @simonteen for gifting me this copy! . . . s u m m a r y : Caterina LaValle is determined to show she’s still the queen of St. Rosetta’s Academy. Sure, her crown may be slightly askew after her ex-boyfriend, Alaric, cheated on her, but she’s a LaValle. She’ll find a way to march right back in there, her hands clutching the strings to the whole puppet show. This time, she’s going to be untouchable. Rahul Chopra knows that moment he shared with Caterina LaValle at the winter formal meant something. Surely she feels it, too. He’s a little uncertain how someone like him (socially inept to a point way past “adorkable”) could fit into her world, but he’s loved Caterina for years. He knows they’ll find a way. When Caterina finds out Alaric is taking a supermodel to the upcoming gala, she knows she cannot arrive without the perfect date. But the thought of taking another superficial St. R’s boy exhausts her. The solution? Sweet-but-clueless Rahul Chopra and a mysterious pot of hair gel with the power to alter the wearer into whatever his heart desires. When Rahul tries it, he transforms instantly into RC—debonair, handsome, and charming. But transformation comes with a price: As Rahul enjoys his new social standing, the line between his two personas begins to blur. Will he give up everything, including Caterina, to remain RC? Or will this unlikely pair find their way back to each other? . . . h a s h t a g s : #ofprincesandpromises #sandhyamenon #contemporaryya #ireadya #yabooks #yabookstagram #retelling #yaretelling #becauseofreading #bookishfeatures #booknerdigans #booksofinstagram #bookhoarder #photooftheday #bookrecommendations #wanttoread #booksarelove #booksaremylife #capturethemoment #seekthesimplicity #beautifulbookcovers #ilovebooks (at Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRKzn0AttIs/?utm_medium=tumblr
