─❀*̥˚─❀*̥˚─❀*̥˚─❀*̥˚─❀*̥˚─❀*̥˚─❀*̥˚─❀*̥˚─❀*̥˚─❀*̥˚─❀*̥˚
Lee Donghyuck had a nice life. He was handsome, he was smart, and he could charm any teacher. Everyone liked him, except for one person. 
To label Lee Donghyuck and Choi (Y/n) as enemies wasn’t quite right. But they certainly didn’t like each other very much. 
Most likely because he and (Y/n) were polar opposites. In their homeroom, (Y/n) was the quiet girl in the back of their class who got the best scores on exams. She wasn’t in any particular group, but she did have one or two friends who hung around her during breaks. Unlike Donghyuck, being a social butterfly, was nearly always surrounded by people (mostly girls).
In his mind, it was so easy to get a girl to swoon for him. He had broken plenty of hearts but they still loved him. However, the only girl he wasn’t able to crack was (Y/n) and it annoyed him to no end. That was how the endless teasing from him started. He’d purposely bump into her in the lunch line, make jokes about her “plain”appearance, and bug her for answers to the homework.
No matter how much the boy agitated her, (Y/n) tried her best not to give in. The more he pestered her, the more her dislike for him grew. All she saw was an egotistical playboy who clearly couldn’t understand the word “stop.”
“Donghyuck, please leave me alone!” She said to the boy sitting at the desk in front of you. 
He smirked, “You don’t have to pretend (Y/n)-ah. I know deep down you can’t resist me.”
“In your dreams,” (Y/n) rolled your eyes. Luckily, the teacher Ms. Kwon, came in before Donghyuck could bother you anymore.
“Alright students,” Ms. Kwon called everyone’s attention. “I’m going to announce your research project.”
The class groaned when they heard this. No one liked school projects. They took up so much time, and they took a big portion of their grades.
Ms. Kwon sighed, “Stop complaining and listen! You’ll be able to do this in the groups I have already assigned to you.”
This additional news did little to lift the kid’s spirits. Meanwhile, (Y/n) sat in her seat nervous to hear what the assigned groups were. She already hated the idea of having to talk to people and meet them outside of school. They’d probably make her do all the work anyway.
“You will research and analyze a musician that you as a group choose,” Ms. Kwon explained as she brought a paper out. 
(Y/n) waited nervously as she waited for the teacher to call her name. 
“Group 3 will be Lee Jeno, Ko Suyoung, Na Jaemin, Choi (Y/n), and Lee Donghyuck.”
She nearly stood up from her desk because of this outrage. She was familiar with most of those classmates listed, but Lee Donghyuck? Why did it have to be him of all people?
She wanted to hit her head against her desk, especially when the boy turned around with a teasing smile. This was seriously going to be the worst.
~ ~ ~
At least (Y/n) had one friend in the group to keep her sane, Suyoung. After school, Jaemin suggested going to the library nearby to discuss things for the project. Once they found an empty table, they started to work.
(Y/n) told herself that no matter how much she was against Donghyuck, she wouldn’t let him ruin her grade. But a few minutes in, he was already being annoying. He was barely staying on task. He kept making jokes and changing the conversation.
“Can you please focus?” She said through gritted teeth.
Haechan leaned back in his chair haughtily. “Come on (Y/n)-ah, don’t be such a killjoy. Part of being in a group means we need to bond, don’t we?”
“By bonding, you mean bragging about the latest version of some stupid video game you just bought?” She scowled at him. “We haven’t even picked the person we’re going to research yet, because of you!”
The boy clucked his tongue, ready with another comeback. But he was stopped by Suyoung slamming her book on the table, calling both of your attention.
“Stop it guys,” She spoke firmly, looking at them both. “We’re not going to get anything done if you keep arguing.”
(Y/n) looked around the table with frowns, realizing how easily distracted she had gotten. For the sake of the project, she had to pull herself together.
“You’re right. I’m sorry,” She lowered her head in embarrassment, refusing to make eye contact with Donghyuck again.
Jeno gave you an understanding smile, “It’s okay, (Y/n)-ah. Donghyuck can get on all of our nerves sometimes.”
“I can hear you, ya know.” Donghyuck sent him a look.
(Y/n) chose to ignore Donghyuck to the best of her ability for the rest of the meeting. Thankfully, everyone was able to pick a person and divide up roles on who would be in charge of what. 
Throughout the rest of the week, the group met up at the same place to work. As a group, they were able to agree on mostly everything and were pretty productive. Surprisingly, Donghyuck didn’t bother (Y/n) too much after the first time.
It was already the middle of the week, and everything seemed to be flowing smoothly. It had been raining earlier, and it didn’t seem to stop by the time they were done. Tugging on her bookbag, (Y/n) glanced out the glass doors warily. Almost everyone had left already, she had stayed back to get some extra work done.
(Y/n) pushed through the doors and stepped out where she was still safe under the external roof of the library. She hesitated slightly, putting her hand out to feel the droplets land in the palm of her hand. Just as she braced herself to get wet, the presence of another stopped her from taking another step forward. 
“Pabo-yah, you’re going to catch a cold,”  Donghyuck scolded, “Did you forget to check the weather today?”
She stared at him bewildered, as he placed a gray umbrella in her hands.
“I can’t take this. Then you’ll be the one who catches a cold,” (Y/n) frowned.
The boy shrugged, “I’ll be fine, my house isn’t too far away from here.”
“Are you sure—” 
“See you at school tomorrow!” He cut her off and ran out, leaving (Y/n) in utter confusion.
Did Lee Donghuck just do something nice for her?
~ ~ ~
(Y/n) still didn’t believe what Donghyuck had done the other day. His expression seemed so calm, compared to the mischievous smile he always wore around her. The next morning in class, Donghyuck came looking unwell. She shook her head in disapproval when he sat at his desk with his head down.
“And he scolded me about not getting sick,” She muttered to herself.
Honestly, (Y/n) couldn’t ignore the guilt in her throughout the rest of the school day. Donghyuck barely talked to anyone and kept dozing off during class. 
“Dude, you look awful,” Jaemin said when they were back at the library in the afternoon. They weren’t there because of the project, but to study for their upcoming math test.
The boy shot his friend a glare. “Thanks, Jaemin-ah, I had no idea.”
“Hey, isn’t that (Y/n)?” Jeno who sat across from them pointed out. “I didn’t know she was coming today.”
Donghyuck lifted his head to see it was indeed (Y/n) who was wearing a determined look. She came to sit in the empty chair beside him and reached for something in her bag.
“Take this, so you don’t get any worse,” She ordered, handing him a box of cold medicine.
He took a look at the medicine in slight suspicion. “When did you get this?” 
“I stopped by the convenience store after school,” (Y/n) replied quickly, and brought out her folder. The guys watched in bafflement as she took out a few pieces of notebook paper and also gave them to Donghyuck.
She tried to avoid his gaze. “I figured you weren’t able to pay attention today. So I made a copy of my notes for you.”
“Wow, that’s so considerate of you (Y/n)-ah,” Jaemin smiled at her. “I wish a girl would do that for me.”
“Only since he let me borrow his umbrella the other day,” (Y/n) said quietly. “You wouldn’t have gotten sick if it weren’t for me.”
Donghyuck was honestly shocked that she actually took the time to do all this for him. Surely, he didn’t ask her to buy medicine and give him her notes. He wasn’t used to (Y/n) treating him so…nicely. He swore he felt his heart skip a beat.
Since that day, Donghyuck and (Y/n) strangely started to get along. They were able to work well together and talk without fighting. Their group could barely believe the change.
Once (Y/n) got to know the boy, she realized that he wasn’t actually that bad. He could be sweet and kind at times. For a moment, (Y/n) forgot about her previous dislike for him and his reputation. Suddenly, she found herself having these feelings she’s never had for Donghyuck. Though she was able to hide it well around their friends, on the inside she was going insane.
Time flew by, and their group finished the project with an A+. (Y/n) couldn’t help but be a little sad that it was over. Now there was no excuse to see each other outside of class.
“You know, I think Lee Donghyuck likes you,” Suyoung said to (Y/n) one day at lunch. “Did you just see the way he looked your way when we passed by each other in the line?”
(Y/n) tried not to blush, as she stared down at the food in her metal tray.
“Doesn’t he look at all girls?”
Suyoung shrugged, “Yeah. But he used to hate you and now he’s changed his tune all of a sudden. Don’t you think it’s weird?”
“It’s probably nothing,” (Y/n) brushed her off. Although she secretly hoped her friend’s suspicions were correct.
Later that day when (Y/n) was walking out of school, Donghyuck caught up to talk to her.
“Hey (Y/n)-ah.” She looked at the boy with slight suspicion. 
“What is it, Donghyuck?”
(Y/n) was pretty sure this was the first time she’s seen him hesitate.
“Well, I was wondering if you were busy this Saturday,” He started to say, acting nonchalant. “There’s this movie that I’ve been wanting to see, but the guys said no. I heard it’s really cool so…do you want to go watch it with me?”
She looked at Donghyuck with a blank expression, unsure what to make of this suggestion. Was it just her or did he just ask her out?
“Um…yeah I think I should be free,” (Y/n) said slowly, adjusting the straps on her bag. 
This situation felt so unfamiliar to her. Before she had never imagined herself liking Donghyuck, much less going on a date with him. But he made her heart feel so giddy, and he was kind of cute. 
Donghyuck flashed her a bright smile, “Great! I’ll text you more details later. You won’t regret this, (Y/n)-ah.”
The next day, (Y/n) was crossing through the school library to go find Suyoung to tell her what happened. As she passed through, she spotted Donghyuck with Jaemin. Happy to see him and his friends, she made her way over to say hi. But she stopped when she heard them talking.
“Me? Like Choi (Y/n)?” Donghyuck scoffed. 
Jaemin cocked a brow. “Huh, I thought you did.”
“Why would I? She’s lame and boring,” He deadpanned. “I like girls that are more bold.”
(Y/n) took a step back, accidentally bumping into a chair in the process. The boys quickly turned their heads at the noise, surprised to see her standing there.
Donghyuck cursed, “(Y/n)-ah, how much did you hear?”
Her furious glare would have burned a hole through him. (Y/n) didn’t respond to his question and stormed away. Donghyuck called after her and brought her in between the bookshelves.
“(Y/n)-ah, I can explain,” Donghyuck said. 
But she yanked her hand out of his grip. She didn’t want to hear what he had to say.
“I should’ve known you wouldn’t change. You’re still just a stupid jerk who was playing with my heart.”
“If you just listen to me—”
“I was such a fool to think for even a second, that you might actually like me.” She blinked her tears away. She felt so stupid.
His expression fell as if he had nothing to say. Confirming her thoughts, (Y/n) started to walk away.
Then just before she could get away again before she felt him grab her by the arm. Prepared to yell at him to let her go, Donghyuck spun her around and crashed his lips onto hers.
Her eyes grew larger, in surprise at the boy’s sudden actions. (Y/n) wanted to fight back, knowing this was wrong. He moved his lips against hers, and she could feel so much passion. So she closed her eyes and let the remaining resistance leave her. 
His hand rested firmly on the back of her head. The other one snaked around her waist, pulling her closer to him. Her fingers gripped tightly onto his uniform jacket. When they pulled away, (Y/n) was nearly out of breath.
“I’m sorry.” He spoke first before she could say anything. “Jaemin was teasing me about liking you earlier, and I was embarrassed. So I said those things to get him off my case.”
(Y/n) shook her head as she processed this information. “What?”
“I didn’t mean any of it,” Donghyuck breathed. “You’re pretty, you’re smart, and you’re caring. Choi (Y/n), I’m crazy about you.”
She stared at him in disbelief that he was confessing all this to her. He took her hand in his and looked her in the eyes. (Y/n) could see how serious he was.
“You’re right, I am a jerk,” He said, “But I don’t want to be anymore. I want to be with you, and only you.”
Donghyuck anxiously waited to hear your response. She hated him for causing her to go on this roller coaster of emotions. But he had kissed her so sincerely…he had to be telling the truth, right?
“I’ll forgive you, just this once,” She muttered. “And…I like you too.”
It didn’t take long for the boy to smile. “I knew you couldn’t resist me.”
(Y/n) rolled her eyes, and grabbed him by the collar for another kiss. She could feel Donghyuck’s smile. Yeah, he surely wasn’t going to be able to get enough of her.

Selwyn’s signature is so rich here I can taste it: the whiskey Alice and I stole from my dad’s liquor cabinet last summer. Cinnamon cloves. A campfire banked low in the woods and smoke carried on winter wind.

Quick Book Review: Celestial Academy - Essence
I think Celestial Academy: Essence will definitely appeal to readers of the Zodiac Academy series or From Blood and Ash. The world-building was interesting, featuring angels and demons without relying too heavily on religious theology. There are moment when I thought there were inconsistencies in the world-building, but those usually got addressed later in the story. The romantic subplot may be a hit or miss for some readers, because it is an enemies-to-lovers/bully romance. There is also a strong “Chosen One” plotline, but the heroine herself hates it. I will probably read the sequel.
Celestial Academy: Essence releases December 31, 2022.
Barnes & Noble
I received an ARC of this book via NetGalley.

One of the funniest things about enemies-to-lovers ships is how they’re almost always obsessed with each other. Like if a character actively chooses to interact with another character over and over again instead of simply ignoring them? Throw darts at it all you want, but you still printed out a picture of them to hang on your wall

while frustrating, the funniest response to historical erasure of same sex couples is people wildly overcorrecting and assuming any interaction between two men in history was a secret homosexual relationship covered up by Big Historian. i saw someone on r/sapphoandherfriend sincerely ask if Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were lovers.

Catturiamo la Fiamma
Tumblr media
Scheda informativa
Titolo completo: Catturiamo la Fiamma: le Sabbie di Arawiya, Libro 1 Titolo originale: We Hunt the Flame Autore: Hafsah Faizal Editore: Mondadori Prima edizione: 2020 Pagine: 490 Prezzo: € 24,00
Trama
La gente continuava a vivere perché lei uccideva. La gente moriva perché lui viveva.
Zafira è il Cacciatore: vestita da uomo, si procaccia il cibo perché la sua gente non muoia di fame nella foresta maledetta dell'Arz. Nazir è il Principe della Morte, incaricato di uccidere chiunque sia tanto folle da sfidare suo padre, il dispotico sultano. Se qualcuno scoprisse che Zafira è una ragazza, tutto ciò che ha guadagnato andrebbe perduto; se Nasir dovesse dimostrare compassione, suo padre lo punirebbe nel modo più feroce. Entrambi sono leggende nel regno di Arawiya. Loro Malgrado.
Tira aria di guerra, e l'Arz si fa ogni giorno più vicino, avvolgendo la terra nell'ombra. Mentre Zafira parte alla ricerca di un artefatto perdutto che potrebbe fermare l'Arz, Nasir è incaricato dal sultano di fare altrettando, o quasi: deve recuperare l'artefatto e uccidere il Cacciatore. Ma una minaccia più grande di quanto possano immagine incombe su entrambi.
Recensione
Il libro è il primo volume di una duologia young adult, nel quale parole come "enemies-to-lovers", "found-family", "platonic-ot3", "sassy-sidekicks" e "bromance" ne fanno da padrone sin dal retro di copertina.
Viene subito introdotto il personaggio di Zafira, che per chi ha letto la trilogia di The Hunger Games, vi riconosce subito una figura familiare: Katniss Everdeen. Entrambe arciere e cacciatrici non per scelta, entrambe che vogliono un bene dell'anima alla sorella minore, entrambe che vivono insieme alla sorellina e alla madre, e che con quest'ultima hanno un rapporto difficile, entrambe hanno perso il padre, entrambe hanno un migliore amico — che, nel caso di Zafira, è una migliore amica Jasmine, la "sorella del cuore", ma è anche un migliore amico, Deen. Ma subito, così com'è apparsa la somiglianza tra le due eroine, si comprende come siano anche molto differenti. E non solo perché Zafira, nell'Arz, è accompagnato da un fidato alleato, Sukkar, il suo cavallo, ma perché nonostante le similitudini tra le vite delle due — entrambe sono costrette a vivere "rinchiuse" nel loro piccolo villaggio, sfamando la propria famiglia e il proprio popolo, costrette però a nascondersi alle autorità — esse hanno storie molto diverse. La prima, Katniss, è una ribelle, costretta a esserlo per migliorare Panem, Zafira, invece, vuole migliorare le condizioni di vita del suo popolo e della sua famiglia.
Dall'altra parte, c'è invece Nasir, che è invece costretto a fare cose che non sempre vorrebbe fare, ma è succube della dittatura distopica del padre. E, per questo, sembra non mostrare compassione, facendosi invece del male da solo ogni volta che è costretto a uccidere qualcuno per volere del padre. Nasir parte perché ha una missione che gli è stata assegnata, ma il viaggio lo trasformerà in una persona diversa.
La trama è ben definita e lineare, ti tiene attaccato al libro perché tu vuoi sapere cosa faranno i protagonisti e i loro compagni di viaggio, se riusciranno a trovare o meno l'artefatto antico e perduto che riporterà la magia nel regno di Arawiya. Le loro passioni e i loro dolori li senti a ogni parola letta, complice il fatto che il mondo e la lingua araba sono rappresentate tramite mappa, indice dei luoghi e glossario.

 COVER REVEAL 
We are thrilled to reveal this gorgeous cover for SAMPHIRE SHORES by Annie Dyer coming February 1!
#Preorder https://amzn.to/3RkuQV5
WILL BE FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED
I could always ask my roommate for her advice – but then, I’d prefer to extract my own teeth.
I wasn’t expecting my temporary housemate to be Freya. My housemate was meant to be a lot taller, bald and male – not a wispy fairy-like creature with a thing for incense and crystals.
Freya loved meditating. I preferred to code.
Freya adored people. I thought they should be online only, except for special occasions.
Freya was always smiling. I rationed my smiles for birthdays only.
But Freya was only smiling on the outside. My irritating, meditating, meddling, temporary housemate would do anything for anyone, but never herself. Those smiles concealed what was going on beneath, something I first saw when she thought I wasn’t looking, then she let me see inside a little more.
I liked what I saw, although I pretended not to. She thought she had to be perfect. I thought she was perfect already.
Maybe Freya wasn’t my opposite. Maybe she was the piece that fitted in perfectly to complete my future, the one her tarot cards told me was complicated.
I just need to code myself into hers: I want to be the man who makes her smile.
Forever.
