I look at some of these blast from the past and am shocked by how many years has passed for some of them.
Finished the last Baz and Somon book. It’s bittersweet as it was a good ending but I’ll miss them. I’d love a glimpse into the future.
Now reading I wish You All The Best and Fall. Well, and a personal finance book and one on habits, but these I just read a section to a chapter at a time.
Has anyone else read The Boy and His Ribbon duet!?? Such an engrossing and unique story!!
I wasn’t prepared for how bittersweet!! Can’t remember the last time a book made me sob so hard!! Maybe The Nightingale?
Hi Linda!! That series was HUGE here on the blog for awhile. Oh YESSSS. SO MUCH love for it!!! π Glad you discovered it too.
I have just finished reading Still Beating by Jennifer Hartmann and before that I read her latest release, The Wrong Heart. They were both incredible emotional reads! If you want to experience feels and epic love stories then these two books are a must read! This is a new author to me and I am so in love with her flawless writing and storytelling.
Lynn loved Still Beating. I’ll have to check out The Wrong Heart. Love high praise recommendations! Thank you.
You wont be sorry, it was not dark like Still Beating but it had all the feels and you will fall in love, as well as cry your eyes out with this flawed and heartbreaking story of love! I look forward to hearing your thoughts once you have read it:)
I one clicked!!
Awesome, enjoy!
