Love Stories We Have Out For Valentine's Day

With Valentine's Day around the corner Christy and I thought it would be a good idea to have a post where we showcase the books we have out around this day of love.

Erica's Books

First I want to say that not all my books have happy endings and they may make you cry, but the love that was in these books are something you have to read - whether the ending is happy or sad.

Series We Want To Try

Today Erica and I thought we would list a few series that we are wanting to try and you all can help us out and tell us which ones we should read first!  Or if you haven't read any of them, you can tell us if you see any that you are thinking of reading :)

Series Christy Wants To Try

10 Authors We Need to Read

Erica's Authors to Read

We all have so many books that just compile our TBR, but mostly what I have been noticing on my TBR are the authors that I have not gotten to read, yet. There are so many authors that I just haven't gotten to yet, and I know that many of you will see them and totally judge me. Anyway, I know I need to get around to reading a lot of these - a lot of them are highly recommended by Christy (cause she's the best). 

10 Authors We'd Love to Meet

Authors Erica Would Like To Meet

Today I had my college class of Intro to Human Communication and was absolutely dreading going. I hate public speaking, I hate talking to new people, it just makes my stomach go into knots. Just talking about it right now is making me all jittery. So to my point, if I met one of my favorite author's I would be so nervous and would probably pass out in the midst of waiting in line. I want to meet them, no doubt, just don't know how well it would go if it came to that.

Okay, enough of the rambling that I am oh so good at, I just want to say that I am never going to pass up a chance to meet one of my favorite authors...or an any author in general.

10 Books We Still Need To Read

Today, we thought it would be fun to list a few books that we really want to read but haven't yet, and to take it a step further, we are going to let you all decide which one we just HAVE to read first!

10 Books We Recommend the Most

As readers I'm sure that we all have those certain books that we push on others constantly recommend to other readers.  Today, Erica and I are going to push a bunch of amazing books on you show you the books that we recommend the most ;) 

Books Christy Recommends the Most:

Dangerous Girls and Dangerous Boys by Abigail Haas are books that I constantly find myself recommending to people.  They are absolutely amazing and mind blowing!  So, if you haven't read them yet, you should...soon :)

Me Since You by Laura Wiess - This is one of those books that I feel hasn't gotten the attention that it deserves.  It's gut wrenching, and heartbreaking.  There were so many times that I had to put this one down because I couldn't see the pages through my tears.  I just feel that it deserves a lot more attention.

Far From You by Tess Sharpe - This book blew me away, there's mystery, loss, emotional subjects and a strong main character, what more could you want?

This Song Will Save Your Life by Leila Sales - Such a beautiful and thought provoking story. 

Jennifer L Armentrout - Okay, I'm going to cheat a little here because I can't choose just one book/series of JLA's that I recommend the most.  This is one of my favorite authors and all of her work is amazing so I'm cheating and putting some of the ones that I love on here.  I still haven't read all of her books because that woman is a machine and she writes them faster than I can read them hahaha.

Books Erica Recommend the Most:

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green - my boyfriend surprised me with this book and it is what got me out of a reading slump and I had finished it in one sitting. I recommend this book over and over.

The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins - I absolutely love this series and yes, it is popular and most people have read it, but I would go to it for a recommendation 10/10 times.

Kissed by an Angel (1-3) by Elizabeth Chandler - I have not read the three books after this set, but as of now...I am in love. 

Breathless by Lurlene McDaniel - oh my goodness, just thinking of this book makes me get all teary eyed and upset. This is on my top five favorite books. The mystery, heart-break, tragedy throughout this book just made me have so many feels.

Crank by Ellen Hopkins - I absolutely loved her writing style. The way that you could read one of her pages a certain way then look at it a different way and it mean something else. I absolutely loved this book and will be re-reading soon so that I can finish of the series.



10 Books We'd Love For Christmas

Christy's Christmas Wishlist

Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins - I still haven't had the chance to get this book *cries* hopefully Santa will bring it for Christmas :)

Trust Me, I'm Lying by Mary Elizabeth Summer - This one sounds like a book that I would love so I wouldn't mind see it under the tree!

The Book of Ivy by Amy Engel - I've heard such amazing things about this one and I can't wait to get my hands on it!

 Love and Other Unknown Variables by Shannon Lee Alexander - This one sounds absolutely amazing!

Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover - It's CoHo, need I say more?

Erica's Christmas Wishlist

 My True Love Gave to Me - twelve Christmas stories, how could I go wrong?

Looking for Alaska by John Green - I have been wanting this for a while, but have yet to get it...so Santa?

The Young Elites by Marie Lu - I have heard such great things about this book and would not complain if it ended up under the tree.

The Maze Runner by James Dashner - I just want it--simple as that, hehe.

To All the Boys I've Loved Before  by Jenny Han - I have heard wonderful things about this book and I have been wanting to dive into it.

10 Books We Chose Based on the Cover

I'm sure we've all had those moments where we are in a bookstore and we see a BEAUTIFUL cover and at that moment, staring at all the prettiness, we buy the book without even looking at the summary.  Well, I have anyway ;)

So Erica and I thought we would share with you some of the books that we have bought based on the cover alone.

Covers that made Christy choose the book:

A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray - This cover is absolutely beautiful, I love the water color and the different view of the city in each color.

The Beautiful and The Cursed by Page Morgan - This one caught my eye as soon as I saw it, I picked it up and then put it back down and continued shopping, needless to say, I ended up going back and buying this one :)

Some Quiet Place by Kelsey Sutton - I just HAD to buy this book once I saw the cover, but unfortunately, it's still sitting on my shelf just waiting to be read...hopefully once I get caught up on my review books, I can pick it up!

Say Her Name by James Dawson - I knew as soon as I saw this that I had to have this one on my shelves.  I know it's a little creepy but I LOVE it :)

Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge - This one was another I wanted based on the cover alone, I absolutely love the rose and the staircase!  Thankfully, the book was just as beautiful :)  

Now, let's take a look at the books that Erica chose based on the cover!

Covers that made Erica choose the book:

Chain Letter by Christopher Pike - I don't know why this cover draws me in, but it does. I like the way that her hand seems so fragile with the broken glass.

Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige - The word 'DIE' written across the cover is what instantly captivated me. That may seem a bit weird, but I was just so interested in the book after that.

Lies My Girlfriend Told Me by Julie Anne Peters - The girl is staring at me, staring, how could I not purchase this book due to the cover? She makes me feel as if I am obligated/forced to purchase it.

The Vow by Jessica Martinez - The simplicity of this book is what I love. I just like the whole idea of a dispensed ring as a cover of a book, I guess.

Six Months Later by Natalie D. Richards - I guess it isn't exactly the cover that caused me to purchase (so don't judge me for adding this), but the words in between the title.
