“A word kept flashing in my head. One word, over and over, like a flashing neon sign. Lucky. I don’t know how to describe it, Jo. Lucky lucky lucky. My whole body wanted to crawl inside your whole body, just to share all this luckiness with you.” – We Contain Multitudes, Sarah Henstra⠀ .⠀ ✉️ All I can say about this book is that I loved it. Thank you @thenovl for sending me an arc of this amazing story! There is a quote in the book where Jo says to Kurl, “You undid me.” And that’s what this book did to me - it undid me. Kurl and Jo are two teens assigned as semester-long pen pals in English class. Watching these two boys reveal their vulnerabilities to each other inch by inch until they became unlikely friends and then to lovers made my heart feel like bursting. It was just so beautiful. You felt it in your bones that these two had a deep soul connection. The romance was just heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. I still need to write my review but I haven’t processed all my thoughts and feelings yet.⠀ .⠀ ✉️ I don’t know why but it’s always harder for me to write a review the more I love it. And I loved We Contain Multitudes so much. Honestly, it might be my favorite book I’ve read this year. 🙀 Something about it really moved me. If you like books like Call Me By Your Name and I’ll Give You the Sun you may love this. . #QOTD: Did you ever have a pen pal? I kind of had one. In middle school, my friend and I would had a journal where we would write to each other and pass it back and forth. Even though we saw each other every day! . . ✨ Reminder: my giveaway is ending tonight - Sunday, June 23 at 11:59 pm PST. All details are in my post of the gorgeous chocolate frog pin! . . . . #lbyrpartner #bookreview #wecontainmultitudes #novlnation #thenovl #sarahhenstra #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookcover #booklove #bookworm #booknerd #epistolarynovel #bookpride #queerbooks #pridemonth #ilovethisbook #mybookfeatures #fortheloveofbooks #yabooks #yafiction #callmebyyourname #beautybookcorner https://www.instagram.com/p/BzD_BoCARg-/?igshid=1vk3lowv2ws2j

🔪 “𝐇𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐜𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭.” ― 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐬, 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐬🔪 ———————————————————— What's going on #bookland? Happy, happy #Wednesday y'all and the last day of September✌🏾! Is it really October tomorrow? I feel like the days are flying by lately, and it's cold, so cold in the mornings (at least the rain has stopped🙃). Today, I'm working from home, and thankfully it's been a lot slower than yesterday. Monday and Tuesday were 🥴🥴 to say the least. But despite all the craziness that's been happening with my family, the mini diva's upcoming birthday, and work, I did manage to finish this gem of a novel. None Shall Sleep left me shook...𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒌. Described as Silence of the Lambs meets Sadie, it's a creepy, psychological thriller that will have you so engrossed in the plot, twists, and turns, you'll almost side with the clever sociopath—almost. YA thrillers tend to be a hit or miss with me (I like my books gritty). But with its 80's setting, gore, and an outstanding cast of characters, None Shall Sleep exceeded my expectations. Think Mindhunter or Criminal Minds...two teens working with the FBI to catch a killer, um yes please. This my first book by @elliemarney and I'm sure it won't be my last. *insert fangirling here* So yeah, I can vouch for this. Run—don't walk—to grab this one! Thank you @TheNovl for gifting me a copy of this amazing story! #QOTD Let's do a #Goodreads check-in! How did you guys manage this month? Did you meet your goals, pass them, take a nosedive? #AOTD I don't know how but I'm still on track with completing my goal this year. 46 out of 50 and that doesn't include the non-fiction novels I read as well (Kindle Unlimited is my literal lifesaver). Anyways, what are you guys reading? ———————————————————— 🔪 🔪 🔪 🔪 🔪 #NOVLNation #NoneShallSleep #thrillerbooks #psychologicalthriller #yanovel #yalit #bookstagram #bookcommunity #booksbooksbooks #bookaholic #booksofinstagram #bookobsessed #bookishphotography #readersofinstagram #readinglist #currentlyreading #igreads #instabookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CFxWx5nAFHI/?igshid=1j2j2eyhrltqz

Hello, Lovelies!  A dark young adult fantasy that's perfect for fans of the Three Dark Crowns series and Wicked Saints. After Emanuela Ragno kills the one person in Occhia who can create water, she must find a way to save her city from dying of thirst. - Beyond the Ruby Veil (Beyond the Ruby Veil #1) by Mara Fitzgerald  https://bit.ly/2So4diF 

Emanuela Ragno always gets what she wants. With her daring mind and socialite schemes, she refuses to be the demure young lady everyone wants her to be. In her most ambitious move yet, she's about to marry Alessandro Morandi, her childhood best friend and the heir to the wealthiest house in Occhia. Emanuela doesn't care that she and her groom are both gay, because she doesn't want a love match. She wants power, and through Ale, she'll have it all. But Emanuela has a secret that could shatter her plans. In the city of Occhia, the only source of water is the watercrea, a mysterious being who uses magic to make water from blood. When their first bruise-like omen appears on their skin, all Occhians must surrender themselves to the watercrea to be drained of life. Everyone throughout history has given themselves up for the greater good. Everyone except Emanuela. She's kept the tiny omen on her hip out of sight for years. When the watercrea exposes Emanuela during her wedding ceremony and takes her to be sacrificed, Emanuela fights back...and kills her. Now Occhia has no one to make their water and no idea how to get more. In a race against time, Emanuela and Ale must travel through the mysterious, blood-red veil that surrounds their city to uncover the secrets of the watercrea's magic and find a way to save their people-no matter what it takes.@letstalkya @thenovl #beyondtherubyveil #novlnation #ya #youngadult #iloveya #fantasy @littlebrownyoungreaders @littlebrown @mara_fitzgerald #lovelyloveday #lovelylovedayblog

 A wildly witty and deeply profound chronicle of teenage anxiety and yearning, perfect for fans of Jesse Andrews and Robyn Schneider. - Dear Universe by Florence Gonsalves https://bit.ly/2AljE5m 

Dear Universe, Sorry for interrupting you with my presence, but I'm wondering if you could have my back for once. I recently had a massive chin zit and a period stain you could see from space and my boyfriend kissed someone else and also my dad is dying faster than usual. If you could show up during my last English class so I can graduate and like achieve my potential or something, I'd appreciate it.

It's senior year, and Chamomile Myles has whiplash from traveling between her two universes: school (the relentless countdown to prom, torturous college applications, and the mindless march toward an uncertain future) and home, where she wrestles a slow, bitter battle with her father's terminal illness. Enter Brendan, a man-bun- and tutu-wearing hospital volunteer with a penchant for absurdity, who strides boldly between her worlds—and helps her open up a new road between them.  #DearUniverseBook #NOVLNation @theNOVL #DearUniverse  #FlorenceGonsalves #youngadult #romance @littlebrownyoungreaders @littlebrown #lovelyloveday #lovelylovedayblog #lovelies

They Went Left by Monica Hesse available now https://bit.ly/2XhPedL  

Germany, 1945. The soldiers who liberated the Gross-Rosen concentration camp said the war was over, but nothing feels over to eighteen-year-old Zofia Lederman. Her body has barely begun to heal; her mind feels broken. And her life is completely shattered: Three years ago, she and her younger brother, Abek, were the only members of their family to be sent to the right, away from the gas chambers of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Everyone else--her parents, her grandmother, radiant Aunt Maja--they went left. Zofia's last words to her brother were a promise: Abek to Zofia, A to Z. When I find you again, we will fill our alphabet. Now her journey to fulfill that vow takes her through Poland and Germany, and into a displaced persons camp where everyone she meets is trying to piece together a future from a painful past: Miriam, desperately searching for the twin she was separated from after they survived medical experimentation. Breine, a former heiress, who now longs only for a simple wedding with her new fiancé. And Josef, who guards his past behind a wall of secrets, and is beautiful and strange and magnetic all at once. But the deeper Zofia digs, the more impossible her search seems. How can she find one boy in a sea of the missing? In the rubble of a broken continent, Zofia must delve into a mystery whose answers could break her--or help her rebuild her world. #NOVLnation #TheyWentLeft #MonicaHesse @littlebrown @LittleBrownYR @littlebrownyoungreaders @littlebrown #historicalfiction #ya #youngadult

 An enchanted tale of intrigue where a duke's daughter is the only survivor of a magical curse. - The Winter Duke by Claire Eliza Bartlett   http://bit.ly/374Uy5D  

When Ekata's brother is finally named heir, there will be nothing to keep her at home in Kylma Above with her murderous family. Not her books or science experiments, not her family's icy castle atop a frozen lake, not even the tantalizingly close Kylma Below, a mesmerizing underwater kingdom that provides her family with magic. But just as an escape is within reach, her parents and twelve siblings fall under a strange sleeping sickness. In the space of a single night, Ekata inherits the title of duke, her brother's warrior bride, and ever-encroaching challenges from without—and within—her own ministry. Nothing has prepared Ekata for diplomacy, for war, for love...or for a crown she has never wanted. If Kylma Above is to survive, Ekata must seize her family's power. And if Ekata is to survive, she must quickly decide how she will wield it. Part Sleeping Beauty, part Anastasia, with a thrilling political mystery, The Winter Duke is a spellbinding story about choosing what's right in the face of danger. @THENovl #thenovl #TheWinterDuke #ClaireElizaBartlett #NOVLNation #youngadult #ya #fantasy #lovelyloveday #lovelylovedayblog #lovelies #gifted

From the creator of the hit TV series The Bold Type comes an empowering and heartfelt novel about a future female president's senior year of high school. -  Most Likely  (Most Likely #1)  by Sarah Watson http://bit.ly/37I7e2S 

@TheNOVL #NOVLNation #mostLikelyBook @sarahwatson42 #sarahwatson

Ava, CJ, Jordan, and Martha (listed in alphabetical order out of fairness) have been friends since kindergarten. Now they're in their senior year, facing their biggest fears about growing up and growing apart. But there's more than just college on the horizon. One of these girls is destined to become the president of the United States. The mystery, of course, is which girl gets the gig.  Is it Ava, the picture-perfect artist who's secretly struggling to figure out where she belongs? Or could it be CJ, the one who's got everything figured out...except how to fix her terrible SAT scores? Maybe it's Jordan, the group's resident journalist, who knows she's ready for more than their small Ohio suburb can offer. And don't overlook Martha, who will have to overcome all the obstacles that stand in the way of her dreams. 

This is the story of four best friends who have one another's backs through every new love, breakup, stumble, and success--proving that great friendships can help young women achieve anything...even a seat in the Oval Office. #ya #youngadult #lovelyloveday #lovelylovedayblog #lovelies
