diary of a wannabe writer

rating ❤❤❤ ❤ cover ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ Kiss and Make Love is a collection of ten short stories, that all varied in length and amount of spice.  The first one and the last one are connected, in a way, the rest can stand on their own. The first one happens after a one-night stand, when she wants to leave, like many times before, but something makes her stay, and the last one is a similar situation, but many years after. This was my favorite part of the book. It didn't go where I thought it would and ended up being so romantic... How one little choice can change the entire course of your life...  Two stories I especially loved, were the one with speed dating-it was seriously the cutest, and the one with football players from the opposing teams, with incredible chemistry. It was sizzling! Each story is very different, in genre, tropes, and spice. At times the writing could use a bit more work, especially in developing the romance. But regardless of that, I read the whole collection in one go,...

rating ❤❤❤ cover ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ artwork ❤ ❤ ❤ The war between two dragon clans is neverending. Clove needs to do what is best for her people. As the last remaining heir of her clan, she agrees to a political marriage to the heir of the enemy clan. There is no love between them at first, but discovering a secret makes them form an unlikely alliance.  The relationship between them is compilated enough, only adding to it are people working tirelessly to destroy the fragile peace between the kingdom and continue the war.  I love the art style, it is seriously beautiful, but I didn't like the story so much.

rating ❤❤❤❤ ❤ cover ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ I read the book when it first came out and didn't like it. Like at all. Recently I decided to reread it, mostly because there wasn't anything good at the library. And because the cover is stunning. :) The second time around I found myself getting totally sucked in and loving everything about it. It's addicting and fast-paced, you can't really put it down. Some so many twists and turns will make your head spin and the romance is... complicated. I will try to avoid spoilers and hope that she doesn't end up with Tamlin, cause I really don't like him. :)  Feyre's family lives in a small crowded cottage in the small village. They used to be well off, but now they barely have enough to eat. Feyre made a promise to her mom to take care of them and has ever since.  She is a huntress. Everything she knows she learned herself. She spends her day in the forest looking for a kill, so her family doesn't go hungry. Her effort is never app...

  rating ❤ ❤ ❤❤❤ cover ❤❤❤❤❤ The summer can only really start with the Bridgertons re-read. I don't know what it is about these books that make them so addicting. They are by no means perfect, there are a lot of elements that usually turn me off from reading, but in these, I just can't help myself. :) It's one of those series, that once you start reading, you must read 'em all.  The Duke and I follows the story of Daphne, the eldest daughter of the Brigerton family, as she navigates her second season, still single, still without love, and Simon, a new Duke who returned to London after years traveling the world.  She wants nothing more than to find love and have a big family, just like the one she is from, and he is determined to let the family name die with him, just to spite his horrible father. They form an alliance, to pretend to be courting, so she will get more offers and he will be left alone. But something is brewing between them. One night of indiscretion and it...
