diary of a wannabe writer

I love to read romance books set in the Christmas time. It's the most magical time of the year, after all. :) But this one didn't hit the spot. It's not that something is wrong with the book, I just couldn't get into it. A case of it's not you, it's me, book edition. :) It has a lot going for it, friends to lovers, small-town romance, dual POV, sweet romance, and Christmas-time setting, of course. Bess and Glo have been friends for a long time. They both a very stressful jobs and on top of that their personal lives are not peach either. The romance slowly developed, as their friendship deepened. It's part of the series, but you can read it as a stand-alone, too. Lovely story, just not for me. rating ❤❤❤ cover ❤❤❤❤❤ Goodreads Amazon happy reading, anie

You know that feeling when you read a great book and someone asks you what it is about, but nothing comes to mind, except it's sooo good, you have to read it ? Wish Upon a Streaming Star is that kind of a book. It's hilarious with seriously witty bickering, romantic (that Dirty Dancing lift... omg), but also manages to pull at every one of your heartstrings- there is one scene where I cried my eyes out along with the characters. Caz and Dizzy are next-door neighbors. They have been best friends since forever, until the start of the Senior year, when something happened and they have been avoiding each other ever since. Caz is a very famous YouTuber. He started his video as a way to deal with the grief of losing a father, and it ballooned into something big, but it also changed everything, and not all in a good way. Dizzy is trying to keep her life together. The family business is failing and her mother's cancer, it's a lot to put on one girl's shoulder. She has spent

rating ❤❤❤ ❤ ❤ cover ❤ ❤ ❤ He is her brother's best friend and her biggest enemy. He insulted her when they first met and it has just gone downhill from there. Each encounter is filled with insults and pranks that get worse each time. It all escalated when he came to a Christmas holiday with her brother. There is mad tension between them, shifting from hate to attraction. The romance is fast, and steamy. There is mad tension between them and sparks just fly. Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop, it's so addicting! It's light, fun, and full of chemistry and pranks. :) Goodreads  //  Amazon happy reading, anie

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, and

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.
