[connectionterminated13]

My Michael died without ever having a romantic relationship. Of course the concept of sex deeply scares him in parts because of his asexuality but The majority of his repulsion comes from his father (Like the way William described sex and The way William apparently used sex as a tool when he was in his 20s)

But even a romantic relationship Without sexual elements frightened him. Sure Michael wasn't lonely he had plenty of Bros. But he never crossed that line something that he was always waiting to just do. The plan was for him to get a good job get a girl and then like live a normal simple life.

Books I’ve read from April 2 to April 9, 2023

I just seem to continually surprise myself. 5 books in 8 days?! Who am I?! Hahahaha

If only I could have all the time in the world, I would use the half of it for reading. That’s how much I loooooove it. Thank you booktok for winding me up and keeping me in touch with the fiction realm 🫶

Short recap…

Better than the Movies ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

BEST YA FICTION BOOK I’VE READ BY FAR THIS YEAR. Why the best you may ask? Maybe because there were lines that either tug my heart, struck a chord, aligned with a certain memory, or all of those combined. Honestly, I’m soooooo happy this book got me out of the reading slump I’ve been dreading for months.

One True Loves ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Curse you booktok for hyping this one. I really did have high hopes for this one. It was good but I could’ve chosen another TJK book to have as my first read from her. I just hope that The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo wouldn’t disappoint me.

A Not So Meet Cute ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Picked this up because it has been sitting in my Book’s library for so long. It was a nice read but not the kind that would have me rereading.

Dreamland Billionaires 1 & 2 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Should’ve given only 2 stars for both but gave another just because the author made strong female leads. Would’ve been better if there weren’t a lot of 🌶️y & 🧀y scenes. Also the male leads were cringey at times.

Currently Reading 💛

Good Trouble & Knight

[betterbooksandthings]

"Backpack fantasy is are for all heroes who travel light. For adventurers campaigning with naught but a rucksack, duffel, or carrier bag, they carry everything they need on their person. They decide to save the world with their just friends, some snacks, and a spare pair of socks and I commend them for their minimalist lifestyle.

Backpack fantasy books are, as Wyngraf puts it, fantasy books where adventurers move through the wilds to conquer goals as opposed to a home or community. Essentially, in backpack fantasy books party members bond on the go as they maneuver the challenges of the natural space, learning more about themselves, each other, and the world in the process.

The setup is very emblematic of a traditional fantasy tabletop role playing game à la Dungeons and Dragons. The plot structure allows for self-discovery outside traditional socio-cultural structures.

In the tradition of Medieval Breton Lais, or French poems, young knights would have to venture out into the natural world to gain knowledge of life beyond the court so they could return to their kingdoms stronger and more equipped to handle the unknown. Oftentimes, they would encounter magic, fairies, or moments of adventure or fate that would change their outlook on the world forever.

That is all to say, backpack fantasy books have been around for longer than there has been a name for the subgenre. This is simply a quick and easy list of unlikely backpack fantasy recommendations to expand your shelf and horizons."

episode 6 of sophomore year is a DOOZY and this episode feels incredibly pivotal but also the secondhand anxiety it’s given me is greater than any amount of anxiety every other fantasy high episode has given me even if they were COMBINED

What have you been reading!? Tell me! ❤️📖

HI I LOVE YOU !!!

okay so i have been on a ROLL with my reading this past weekend so im very happy !!

FIRST: The Naturals, by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. SO SO SO good it was a 5/5 star read, like i was actually unwell. its like..a YA mystery??? science and FBI and disturbing murders. actually frightening but it was SO SO GOODD!!! basically these kids have these freaky abilities that land them on the FBI's radars, which leads to these teens getting recruited by the FBI to be trained and to use their powers to help them crack cold cases!!!!! These powers are like...abilities that the FBI are trained to use, except the teens just HAVE them and its freaky. CUTE ROMANCE, AMAZING CHARACTERS & DYNAMICS, IT WAS DELICIOUS the mystery was so so yum i screamed. 10/10 JLB never disappoints. i got grey hairs from the stress and could not sleep after but so so worth it

SECOND: I finished Love Unwritten by lauren Asher. HVGNFHGN FGBHNFNGHNFGHNGBHNGHNGHH its a single dad romance <33333333 because smth about single dads heals me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! another banger by asher, though i think i gave it like a 4.5/5 bc i could not handle the stress and the second hand embarrassment was so bad i dropped the book for a week. HE"S A GRUMPY SINGLE DAD DEALING WITH PAST ISSUES SHE"S RUNNING AWAY FROM THE HORRORS OF HER OLD LIFE AND ENDS UP BEING A LIVE-IN NANNY AND TAKING CARE OF THIS GUY'S KID !!!!!!!!!!!!! ooooh and bc nooooothing EVER goes wrong with that right !!!!!!! WRONG. THEY FALL IN LOVE. lots of hot sex, 10/10 experience i recommend wholeheartedly.

THIRD: I reread a few Lynn Painter books (primarily betting on you, and better than the movies) She writes THE BEST rom coms EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. like when i say. her work heals me i mean it has HEALED ME. its gotten me through stuff. so so so so SO good. better than the movies is like the teen high school cliche romance which i never read bc they're always so ick ick ick but so. so good. third re-read. i loveher. i'd kill for her. the men she writes are too good.

FOURTH: I'm CURRENTLY reading Play Along by Liz Tomforde. It's the 4th book in her sports romance series and its SO FUCKING GOOD!!!! I did reread the first 3 books (Mile High, Right Move, Caught Up) GHEY ARE SO SO SO GOOD if i have not made it clear im actually a sports romance slut. the one im reading rihgt now is a BASEBALL ROMANCE???? never in my life but i am. i've always, shamelessly, been a hockey girl bc thats what the market mostly is but this series has opened my horizons. hockey, BASKETBALL(SO SO YUMMY) and now 2 baseball novels, and the upcoming 5th one is taking me BACK to hockey. UGHEFUGH THIS CURRENT ONE IS SO SOS GOOD THO!!!!!!! its like....they drunkenly get married in Vegas, he's been in love with her for AGES, its cute its fluffy its kept me up until 3am two nights in a row now (the splintering headaches are crazy...) and i've cried 4 times bc Tomforde's books always hit a little too close with the characters and i forget that sometimes. 10/10 im ready to cry some more when i finish it.

ummm yes that is it. i feel alive all over again. have i been giggling abt the scenarios of these books thinking abt where i'd put that in a fic absolutely!! that is why i read romance. im living my best life and its going great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

have you been reading anything LGG!!!!!! i know you were delving into the Cruel Prince last i checked!!! How's it going ?!?!
