Five Fave Romance Books


Ta-Da! Check out my beautiful new blog look! It took me a few hours the other day but I finally got it the way I want it. (There may be a few extra changes here and there but nothing drastic). Maybe it's because of the new year or because I'm turning 21 or just because I felt like it, but I wanted to change things up. I wanted my blog to look a bit more "professional" or "grown-up" for lack of a better term. I want my blog to grow and change with me as the years go by.
Anyways, so that's my little reason for why the blog looks different. I hope you like it and that it's not too hard to navigate and find everything!

Since Valentine's Day is tomorrow a romance/lovey post was in order.
because no Valentine's post is complete with a Delena scene 

If a book doesn't have at least a tiny romance subplot, I will not read it. If there is no mention of romance or the hint of romance in the blurb of a book I most likely will not pick it up or buy it or even give it a chance. Yeah, I know... I'm really picky, but I know what I like and I made the decision a long time ago not to force myself to read a book. Life is too short to read books you don't enjoy and as a writer I feel its important to read books you enjoy and get inspiration from.

So, since I love romance so much here are my top five fave romance books (or romances in books):

  • A Court of Misty and Fury (the ACoTR series is my guilty pleasure OK?!) 
  • Twilight (cuz this series was what made me fall in love with vampires and romance in the first place). 
  • The Lux Series (the slow burn romance in this series is the best!) 
  • Alienated (I just really love alien/human romances) 
  • Everneath Series (This I read a looong time ago in my young teen years but it is still one of my favorite romance trilogies. The love triangle was so unique and fresh and I mean, it was a Persephone and Hades retelling so of course it was going to be good). 
(Yes, I'm aware these are all fantasy series. I haven't read a contemporary romance in a looong time). But just so you know that I have read some and do enjoy them (or did) here are the few contemporary romance books I've read over the years (all of them by the same author cuz I'm even pickier about my contemporary books): 

  • Sean Griswold's Head  by Lindsey Leavitt 
  • Going Vintage by Lindsey Leavitt 
  • The Chapel Wars by (you guessed it) Lindsey Leavitt 
Also, Valentine's Fun Fact about me: My favorite romance movie/story of all time is A Walk To Remember. I seriously love that movie so much!! It is the best and beautifully, perfectly sad.


What are you some of your favorite romance books/movies? :)

Happy Friday! So, they awesome Lily Cat tagged me in this fictional vacation/would you rather challenge and I am so excited to do this. It sounds so fun! Alright so here's the deal:   ~ Include the graphic  Madeline  made. ~ Answer the Questions  ~ Tag some other people if you feel so inclined Let's jump right into this!  Would you rather...  Train with demigods for the summer at Camp Halfblood OR attend Hogwarts to learn some spells for a semester? These movies were a disgrace to the books buuut I needed a gif so here you go haha How is this even a question? ;) Camp Halfblood of course! I adore the Percy Jackson series, so I would do just about anything to be a halfblood for the Summer. The real question is, who would my parent be?? My enneagram four side who loves being special and different wants me to be a kid of one of the big three... maybe Hades just to make myself extra special and unique from everyone else ;) But m...

How to Revise like a Pantser ft. Big Hero 6 Gifs

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope you've had a great week so far and that you have a great Easter weekend ahead! We plan on going to my grandparent's on Friday to celebrate Easter with family and spending the night there so that'll be a fun time. :) Alright, so I contemplated doing an Easter-y post on here but I wasn't even sure what that would look like... So instead, I thought I'd do something fun and happy in honor of the celebration of Easter on Sunday. Without further ado, here is your Big Hero 6 gif filled revising process from a real life pantser: The end of your first draft is in sight! You type like crazy, stay up past your normal bedtime until it is finished. When you type The End, the satisfaction that you actually did this thing sets in. Guys, it is the sweetest feeling ever. Knowing you worked so hard to complete this draft and came out on the other side. Unscathed? Perhaps not. But triumphant? Definitely! That first draft is a total disast...

Best Resources for Writers

Happy Wednesday once more everyone! So recently I've been doing a lot of craft-learning and have discovered some pretty awesome resources that have been so helpful to me. I'm also contemplating trying my hand at a How To guide for writers. I've already written a How to Write a Serial book and it just needs to be touched up. I think I might make it one of my freebies for my newsletter. So then not only do you get a short story but also a how to guide cuz I realized a lot of the newsletters I sign up for come with how to guides or writerly resources. But anyways, here are some of my favorite books/podcasts/blogs that have been so, so helpful to me over the past few months: Craft Books: Go Teen Writers: Edit Your Novel by Stephanie Morril and Jill Williamson: This one has a little bit of everything in it and is perfect for beginners. If you've just started plotting your novel, are in the middle of writing it or have begun the editing process this is a must have!  ...
