I read a mix of fantasy and contemporary mystery thrillers. Here are the 5 books I read in March: The Cruel Prince by Holly Black | Add on Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 5 out of 5. A reread of this was in order before beginning…

Here is what I read: Rainbow…

Eowyn, The Lord of the…

I reread two of Ali Hazelwoods books, Under One Roof and The Love Hypothesis. I absolutely love these two books because they feature good ace representation. I also reread Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger after trying to read Everblaze but not remembering much first two books. I am currently reading One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig. I have heard a lot of good things about this book so i am excited to read it. I also love this gorgeous Fairyloot edition. #becauseofreading #bibliophile #booknerd #booksbooksbooks #bookworm #currentreads #prettybooks #readingismagic https://www.instagram.com/p/CoZ0JDBrgpw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Review: Delilah Green Doesn't Care by Ashley Herring Blake

Review: Delilah Green Doesn’t Care by Ashley Herring Blake

A clever and steamy queer romantic comedy about taking chances and accepting love—with all its complications—by debut author Ashley Herring Blake. Delilah Green swore she would never go back to Bright Falls—nothing is there for her but memories of a lonely childhood where she was little more than a burden to her cold and distant stepfamily. Her life is in New York, with her photography career…

I not only tabbed it but highlighted things as well which was new for me but I loved it. As for the book I adored the romance and the subplot with the characters parents were well done. Becca and Brett were sweet together and it was never awkward like it is with some ya romances at the beginning. Alex managed to skip that entirely and they were quite quickly comfortable and blurring the lines between a real and fake relationship. I rated this book ★★★★★ #becauseofreading #bibliophile #bookaddict #bookaholic #booklover #booknerd #booksbooksbooks #bookishphotography #bookstagrammer #bookworm #greatreads #prettybooks #readingismagic #readersofinstagram #bookrecommendations #romancebooks #readingromance #contemporaryromance #annotatedbooks #annotating https://www.instagram.com/p/CnMoSp9L0sT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The characters were somewhat likeable, Claire was sweet, Delilah was misunderstood, Iris was loyal and Astrid was traumatised. They had an interesting friendship, Astrid, Claire and Iris have been friends for the longest time but they welcomed Delilah into their group quite quickly and while they’ve known her for some time they are only know getting to know her. Everything happened in the span of around two weeks, far quicker than it would happen in reality. Spa weekend to a camping trip to falling in love, bonding over the campfire and pulling pranks together were sweet and funny so it had its moments. Overall I was disappointed with this one, I rated this ★★★. #bibliophile #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookgram #booklover #booknerd #booksbooksbooks #bookpictures #bookaesthetic #bookworm #readersofinstagram #readingismagic #romancebooks #contemporaryromance #bookreview https://www.instagram.com/p/CnEv4-wLr0D/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
