Hei! Saw your tumblr page and saw that you like the same books as me. Can you recommend me any good book series? Thanxs🤗

Hi!

Of course! It all depends on your reading mood of course, but here are some of my favourites (please do check trigger warnings etc):

- Scythe by Neal Schuester (more dystopian, urban fantasy)

- The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer (dystopian fairy tale retellings)

- the bromance book club series by Lyssa Kay Adams (romance books about tough men reading romance to improve their relationships)

- Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson (detectives set at a remote boarding school)

- legendborn by Tracy Deonn (urban fantasy with Arthurian inspo, book 2 will be published later this year)

- A Good Girls Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson (another YA detective)

Hope this helps lovely!

Toodles💛

Do you take advantage of gloomy days? What are your must haves when the weather is grey?

I love when it’s grey in SoCal. It’s the perfect time to settle in with a big cup of coffee, cute autumn socks (hello hedgehogs!) and my read in bed.

Of course, it’s only for an hour before I have to start work, but I still enjoy it as much as I can. Hope you’re having a happy Wednesday! https://www.instagram.com/p/CUsawoTJxlh/?utm_medium=tumblr

things fictional couples do that make me lose my mind + writing prompts

taking each other’s hands during a stressful situation, instantly reliveing the pressure of the situation

smiling in-between kisses

during a hug, one of them pulls the other closer, followed by the other one nudging their head into the crook of their lover’s neck

forehead kisses

they’re in bed, one of them’s like “it’s time to get up” and their lover pulls them back down, wraps their hands around their body, snuggles up close, preventing the other one from getting out of bed

forehead kisses but it’s the male being kissed on the head

dancing together, one of them takes the other’s hand, kisses it

saying “i love you” completely randomly

bantering, judging each other but in a way that’s like, what you’re doing right now, is really stupid, but you’re adorable and i can’t help but love you

when one of them is like… i don’t know… hurt or something… and the other one is just like… tending to their wounds… and then just like… wrap them into their arms… thankful that they’re alive…

when one of them is hurt by the antagonist… and their lover goes… absolutely ballistic and does everything in their power to get to the person they love, to the point in which the antagonist and it’s crew have to physically restrain them… and it still doesn’t stop them… they jsut keep kicking… doesn’t matter what happens to them… doesn’t matter if they get beaten in the process… as long as their lover is safe…

when they haven’t seen each other for a while (bonus point if they’re not sure the other one is alive) and all this time they’ve been trying to stay strong, but when they reunite, they crash into each other’s arms, and completely breakdown…

“i’m not worthy of anybody’s love.” “that’s not true, you’re worthy of mine.” followed by the lover breaking eye-contact… + a love confession

when one of them has never had a proper birthday party for whatever reason, and their lover makes it their mission to give them the best day ever, followed by “you didn’t have to do all this for me. just being with you is enough.” “i know. but i thought you deserved ?’’ and their lover smiles, a kiss is shared

one of them being like… i’m totally getting off track here, but you’re like, really hot so i’m going to pick you up and throw you on the bed, followed by their lover smacking them on their head (gently) because they have important things to do

’‘you shouldn’t be here.” “i had to make sure you were okay.” silence. “can i come in?” more silence. you decide. angst or happy ending?

when they’re forced apart, and they get to say goodbye, and they cry, share a last kiss, holding hands until the very end, until they’re so far apart they have to let go…

any form of physical intimacy ever

one of them resting their head on the other’s lap, falling asleep

wearing their lover’s clothes! (also, “can I get my shirt back? ’'no.”)

being jealous! not to the point of it being unhealthy, just a moderate amount of cute jealously, in which their partner just laughs it off and gives them a kiss

a slow burn being like… i’m not in love with them! cut to scene of the person in question staring dreamingly at the object of their desire

when a character is falling in love, and their love interest is making them smile, and they’re flustered, blushing, in such a happy state of mind that they look to the ground, trying to hide their burning red cheeks

banter in which one of them’s like… “i love you” and the other person’s like “ok” and the first one’s like “say it back” and the other one’s just like “no 😝” and the first one gets frustrated because “why wouldn’t you say it back we always say i love you before we leave”

when they’re doing something outside, it’s dark outside, and one of them views something pretty in the sky, like a shooting star, or just the stars in general, and they pull their lover by the hand, all excited to watch the shooting star, and their lover looks at them in pure admiration

when it’s a slow burn, and the characters just look at each other like “fuck it i’m done with this” and kiss

edit: The character thinking “seriously? I love them?!!’’ because somebody reblogged the post saying that and it did something special to my heart

Hi do you have book recs where the MC's are royals/kings/queens

I need more of royalty reads, like the bridge kingdom, shadows between us, deal with the elf king

If you enjoyed A Deal with the Elf King then I also definitely recommend A Dance with the Fae Prince also by Elise Kova which is part of the same series and involves a Faery Prince trying to win back his kingdom with some romance and other twists along the way.

Also I'm currently reading An Heir Comes to Rise by C.C Peñaranda and totally recommend it. It's got your classic evil King, a good Prince, a lost Princess, warring Kingdoms, allied Kingdoms that possibly can't be trusted?? Definitely has the royalty bases covered and I love all the main characters. Especially look out for the hot general in book two!

A Curse so Dark and Loney by Brigid Kemmerer I really enjoyed this book. A little underrated gem I think. It starts off in book one as a beauty and the beast retelling but merges into more with lost Princes and divided loyalities. Also bonus points for this series having the most beautiful covers and spines.

These Hollow Vows by Lexi Ryan Recommend this if you're looking for a light easy read, a little bit predictable but I still really enjoyed it and it has an ending that has left me hanging out with excitement for book two. It features an MC who gets tangled up in the land of Faerie and the games and rivalries between two Faerie Courts, their rulers and two beautiful Princes.

Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas You've probably already read this but in case you haven't you can't really go past this series in terms of royalty. With a lost Princess, an evil King, a good Prince, a beautiful Faerie Prince, a Witch Queen and so much more it can't be beat. Also if you have read it and enjoyed it then again I recommend An Heir comes to Rise because it has major ToG vibes and similarities while still being it's own thing

Are you “enemies to lovers” fucked up or “found family” fucked up?
