"Our worlds are small, our lives are short, and we can only bleed a little before we fall." — Margaret Rogerson, An Enchantment of Ravens . . 'scuse me but this book is so stunning. I read a big chunk of it last night and I'm halfway through now. It's going by so fast and I'm just now realizing it's a standalone 🙀 Why are all the best books deserving of multiple books the ones that are just one book?! The world is too cruel 😭😂 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #instabook #book #epicreads #bibliophile #becauseofreading #bookaddict #bookish #booklover #booklovers #booknerdigans #ilovebooks #booknerd #bookphotography #instabooks #books #bookstagram #bookworm #fiercereads #goodreads #igbooks #anenchantmentofravens #markedbymary

Classic movie fan Bailey “Mink” Rydell has spent months crushing on a witty film geek she only knows online as Alex. Two coasts separate the teens until Bailey moves in with her dad, who lives in the same California surfing town as her online crush. . Faced with doubts (what if he’s a creep in real life—or worse?), Bailey doesn’t tell Alex she’s moved to his hometown. Or that she’s landed a job at the local tourist-trap museum. Or that she’s being heckled daily by the irritatingly hot museum security guard, Porter Roth—a.k.a. her new archnemesis. But life is whole lot messier than the movies, especially when Bailey discovers that tricky fine line between hate, love, and whatever it is she’s starting to feel for Porter. . And as the summer months go by, Bailey must choose whether to cling to a dreamy online fantasy in Alex or take a risk on an imperfect reality with Porter. The choice is both simpler and more complicated than she realizes, because Porter Roth is hiding a secret of his own: Porter is Alex…Approximately. .

💜💓 Happy Valentine's Day Friends 💓💜 I'm not personally a big V-Day type gal, but I do love the color scheme 😏 and then the fact that @penguinteen sent me this GORGEOUS book yesterday that has a cover that SCREAMS Romance, I just couldn't wait to take a V-Day themed pic today!! 💟👩‍❤️‍👩💑👨‍❤️‍👨💟 Synopsis: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Witches of East End and The Descendants comes the love story of young Alexander Hamilton and Eliza Schuyler. 1777. Albany, New York. As battle cries of the American Revolution echo in the distance, servants flutter about preparing for one of New York society’s biggest events: the Schuylers’ grand ball. Descended from two of the oldest and most distinguished bloodlines in New York, the Schuylers are proud to be one of their fledgling country’s founding families, and even prouder still of their three daughters—Angelica, with her razor-sharp wit; Peggy, with her dazzling looks; and Eliza, whose beauty and charm rival that of both her sisters, though she’d rather be aiding the colonists’ cause than dressing up for some silly ball. Still, she can barely contain her excitement when she hears of the arrival of one Alexander Hamilton, a mysterious, rakish young colonel and General George Washington’s right-hand man. Though Alex has arrived as the bearer of bad news for the Schuylers, he can’t believe his luck—as an orphan, and a bastard one at that—to be in such esteemed company. And when Alex and Eliza meet that fateful night, so begins an epic love story that would forever change the course of American history. In the pages of Alex and Eliza, #1 New York Times bestselling author Melissa de la Cruz brings to life the romance of young Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler. 💟👩‍❤️‍👩💑👨‍❤️‍👨💟 I can't even explain to you how amazing this book sounds to me! Anyone else planning to read it? 💟👩‍❤️‍👩💑👨‍❤️‍👨💟 #tbr #alexandeliza #melissadelacruz #valentines #markedbymary #flatlay

Alright I really love the cover for Written In The Stars but the tittle page is also beautiful!! I love when the cover design is replicated inside as well 💙🌌🌟✨ . Has anyone heard or read this book? . . 💬 Here's the summary: . This heart-wrenching novel explores what it is like to be thrust into an unwanted marriage. Has Naila’s fate been written in the stars? Or can she still make her own destiny? . Naila’s conservative immigrant parents have always said the same thing: She may choose what to study, how to wear her hair, and what to be when she grows up—but they will choose her husband. Following their cultural tradition, they will plan an arranged marriage for her. And until then, dating—even friendship with a boy—is forbidden. When Naila breaks their rule by falling in love with Saif, her parents are livid. Convinced she has forgotten who she truly is, they travel to Pakistan to visit relatives and explore their roots. But Naila’s vacation turns into a nightmare when she learns that plans have changed—her parents have found her a husband and they want her to marry him, now! Despite her greatest efforts, Naila is aghast to find herself cut off from everything and everyone she once knew. Her only hope of escape is Saif . . . if he can find her before it’s too late. . . ✨Princess Serenity bookmark by @marquisdusoleil ✨Wood bookmark by @markedbymary . . #marquisdusoleil #markedbymary #writteninthestars #aishasaeed #diversebooks #diversereads
