I love pancakes, so here goes nothinβ…

Hands down, Iβd sayΒ Wild Beauty.

Not only is the story reminiscent of a fairy tale, the writing is as lush and decadent as the flowers it centers around.

Sidenote: pancakes with lemon drizzle? Ooh, never tried that combo…I love most anything lemon-flavored, so…
I know I add this book in with most of my tags, but Finian fromΒ Aurora RisingΒ definitely fits the bill.

Even at the most inopportune times (edit: mostly at inopportune times), Finian always has a sassy, snappy comeback that never fails to make me laugh out loud in the most serious of scenes.

I just canβt stop re-readingΒ Carry On…

Though itβs a bit intense at times, I always come back to love story of Simon and Baz…and end up feeling all the feels as a result.


Whew…I really want to re-readΒ A Monster CallsΒ again at some point, but man…[prepares myself for an intense outpour of tears]

When I first read this, around two(ish) years ago, I just had to read it twice in a row. Nothing could take my mind off of it, and…yeah, I feel like I couldnβt read anything else for a few days. Gaaaaah, this oneβs a killer…

Indulgent feels…hmm…
If weβre talking aboutΒ indulgent feels, Iβd sayΒ Soul of Stars, the second installment in the Heart of Iron duology.

Soul of StarsΒ was everything that I wanted in a sequel–the cast of characters retained their impeccable chemistry, the plot was just as heart-racing (and heart-wrenching), a certainΒ in-credibleΒ plot twist (loud crying) and a perfectly satisfying ending.

Ooh…my first thought for this one is Art fromΒ Like a Love Story.

Heβs got many yearβs worth of pent-up (and…sometimes not so pent-up) anger, which coats his personality for most of the book; about 3/4 of the way through the book, we definitely get to explore deeper into him, as his relationships with some of the other characters begin to strengthen.

No doubt,Β The Pioneer.

This one had meΒ constantlyΒ second-guessing what was going to happen next.Β The Pioneer is the kind of book where you think you have the plot figured out, but something makes the plot go topsy-turvy in seconds.

Alright, I hate to do this to you guys, but…I really…canβt…think of any…
All of the significant romances I can think of either a) worked out near-perfectly from the star or b) everybody loves, but I still kind of despise. Oops.


Hands down,Β This Time Will Be Different.

Not only is the main character Japanese-American, weβve got a whole, backing cast of POC and LGBTQ+ characters, not to mention the deft tackling of several issues, almost all of them stemming from racism.
So, that just about wraps it up!
I tag:Β
Have a lovely rest of your day, and if I donβt post tomorrow, have a happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate that! π
