Kennaisreading's Fall TBR/Recs

Dear Readers,

Happy Mid-August!

Now typically I steadfastly refuse to begin any sort of autumnal celebration until 12:01am on September 1st, but I am trying to plan ahead for my reading for the remainder of this year. This month has truly been sipped away like a bottle of wine, if you will, and preparing to lock in for fall classes has made me more ready to get into the upcoming season. Therefore, here is my long-awaited, (unsolicited), perfectly realistic (desperately ambitious) TBR for the months of September and October!

Fantasy

The Wren in the Holly Library by K.A. Linde (Find my Pinterest board for this book here).

2. Twilight by Stephanie Meyer

Don't kill me! I have never read the Twilight series. You got me. But I did purchase every single book in the series a few months ago, and plan to quickly amend this personal shortcoming by reading as much of the series as I possibly can this fall.

3. Harry Potter

I have only ever read the first 4 books, but I once again recently bought the whole series. (Rest assured that I bought every single book secondhand so as to not give any support to that author.) I read the first four in late middle school/early high school, so I am glad to be getting that same nostalgic feeling that people who read these books in elementary get.

4. Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross

I have heard great things, and I am expecting great things.

5. The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake

I was actually like 30% of the way through this book a couple of years ago and was loving everything about it, but simply didn't have time to finish. It seems like the perfect fall read, so I am looking forward to this one a lot, especially as I reenter the university scene.

6. The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi

Another one I have heard wonderful things about. I hear it has a great found family, which we all know is my most favorite trope of all time, so I hope it lives up to the hype!

7. Once Upon A Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber

Excited to be the last person on earth to read this series. Seemed like a cozy fairy-tale-esque fantasy to read for fall.

8. The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston

I read Ashley Poston's Once Upon A Con series in middle school and loved it, and I've heard nothing but rave reviews about her adult releases, so I have high hopes for this. The vibes seem perfect for fall.

9. The Stolen Heir Duology by Holly Black

Binged the original FotA trilogy in November 2020 when I was sick and delusional from Covid, so I am prepared to take on this duology perfectly well and in my right mind.

10. Powerless by Lauren Roberts

PRAYING y'all are telling the truth about how good this is. I need another fantasy series hyperfixation!!!

11. The Kiss of Deception by Margaret E Pearson

So excited to get into this whole universe. I was convinced to read this series by queen Sunny Kim (@ sunnykimreads on YouTube take your butt to her channel and subscribe NEOW!) and I trust her with my life so let's go!

12. Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

One thing about me I am a sucker for a villain and I did not hesitate to buy this without looking up a singular comment or review.

13. Lightlark by Alex Aster

Heard mixed reviews on this one, so I have to see for myself!

14. Stars & Smoke by Marie Lu

Marie Lu raised me, schooled me, packed my lunches, sent me to college, and is one of the reasons I write. I am so late to this release but SO stoked to read it! What do y'all know about the Legend trilogy and also the Young Elites and also Warcross!!! Get into those!

15. Fable by Adrienne Young

Once again, miss Sunny Kim's love for the prequel novel of this series was influential enough to make me want to read the whole thing.

16. A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid

The aesthetic of this book, as well as that cover, made me SO excited to pick this up! Another great fantasy that looks perfect for fall.

17. Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli

Expecting enemies to lovers fantasy greatness from this based on what I've been told!

18. Swordcatcher by Cassandra Clare

So excited to read my first non-Shadowhunter Cassie book! I love her writing and always get so attached to her characters, plus I met her at the event I went to for this book, so I'm biased.

19. Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson

DID SOMEBODY SAY LIBRARY??? Sign me up!

20. The Infernal Devices Trilogy by Cassandra Clare

Now you know it is not autumn or winter if I do not reread the best series of all time! If you have not read the Infernal Devices (Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince, Clockwork Princess), then GET in the car and GET to your local library. And if you're like me and your brain won't let you read stuff out of order, then get through those first 3 Mortal Instruments books (City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass) ASAP! I PROMISE it's worth it! Shadowhunters is such a wonderful universe I could cry. TID contains the best love triangle ever written, and I don't even like love triangles. At all. This series is truly my everything and I think about it every day without fail. There's nothing left to say but Pick This Series Up if you haven't! Perfection for fall reading!

Mystery/Fiction

1 Karen M McManus

I have read One of Us is Lying, The Cousins, and You'll Be the Death of Me and enjoyed all of those, so this fall I am hoping to get through One of Us is Next, Two Can Keep A Secret, Nothing More to Tell, and One of Us is Back.

2. Enola Holmes by Nancy Springer

I love the Enola Holmes movies (putting Henry Cavill and Sam Claflin in the same film right in front of my eyes was crazy work actually), so I read the first book back in winter. I'm looking forward to reading this middle-grade mystery series, because it's something I've lacked since I was much younger!

3. Reign by Katherine McGee

I have procrastinated finishing the American Royals series for such a long time because if it does not end the way I hope it will, I might lose my mind a little. Loved the drama in these books.

4. Games Untold by Her Royal Majesty Jennifer Lynn Barnes

I am reading the Grandest Game right now, and it has only confirmed that the best place to be in life is sitting somewhere binging a JLB book at breakneck speed. This is what life and writing and literature and reading are all about. I was lucky enough to get to meet Jennifer on the book tour for TGG less than 2 weeks ago, and it was such a wonderful time. I cannot wait to read these novellas about my beloved TIG characters even though this book comes out in November and this is technically a Sept/Oct list.

5. We Were Liars by e. lockhart

You know it. You love it. Or you hate it. Either way, I haven't read it yet, and I must decide for myself.

6. The Lovely and the Lost by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Every tongue that rises against JLB shall fall, and this is the last book of hers I have to read.

Romance

Fall is when I'm locking in on SPORTS ROMANCEEEE!!!

Whether you love it or hate it, sports romance is one of the most popular current genres out there, and I love picking up football and hockey romances when football and hockey season returns. I forced myself to leave 2 Elle Kennedy hockey books for myself to read in fall when hockey comes back, and I cannot wait.

The Wall of Winnipeg and Me

I have never read a Mariana Zapata book, so I am excited to see what all the commotion is about.

2. Daydream by Hannah Grace

I <3 Henry and that is all I have to say on the matter.

3. Heartstopper v5

Heartstopper is such a cute and cozy series, so I will be finally picking up the most recent volume this fall.

4. Flawless by Elsie Silver

I am finally diving in to the Elsiverse! I wanna join in on the cowboy summer movement, I just haven't had time! So it is henceforth going to be Yeehaw Fall.

5. Unsteady by Corinne Peyton

Another Sunny Kim rec that I need to get my hands on immediately.

6. The Wingman by Stephanie Archer

Get into the Vancouver Storm series if you haven't!!! The Fake Out was one of the best hockey romances I've ever read in my life. I am SO READY for this book!

7. Offside by Avery Keelan

Has been on my KU TBR forever and a day. Will be devouring as many hockey romances as possible I fear.

Recs!!!

Now that we've covered the books I'm planning to read this fall, most of which I've never read, let's get into what YOU should read this fall!

Fantasy

ACOTAR by Sarah J Maas

I had to get this one out of the way if you somehow have never read ACOTAR. I think it's written somewhere in my nonexistent reader/blogger contract that I must mention this. Fall and winter are a perfect time to dive into this universe and hop on this bandwagon.

2. The Grishaverse by Leigh Bardugo

Shadow and Bone trilogy and the Six of Crows duology, if you somehow have not heard of them, are excellent. Or if you have heard of them and haven't read, take this obscure blog post as your sign to pick them up! This universe is so immersive and amazing when you don't have somebody in your ear whining about ship wars. I had a book hangover for weeks my freshman year after finishing these books, which I hardly ever get, but I still think about them regularly to this day.

3. The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer

There is nothing remotely fall-like about these books at all, but if you're looking for a fantasy series with a found family and fairy-tale callbacks, get into Cinder! Truly such a beloved and nostalgic series to me. I am in the process of rereading them, and I absolutely love the characters so much. For being considered a "classic YA throwback series", we really don't talk about it enough.

4. Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

LOOK UP TRIGGER WARNINGS! This is an adult novel that deals with some very dark themes, so be aware of that going in. A lot of dark academia/fantasy/mystery vibes going on here, but definitely read at your discretion.

5. The Cruel Prince Trilogy by Holly Black (Folk of the Air)

Perfect fall fantasy vibes, enemies to lovers, pretty quick reads. There's a lot of politics involved in this series, and a very immersive setting, in my opinion. You kind of have to get past the "hey what is going on btw" and just go with it! Great reads.

6. Sisters of the Salt Duology by Erin A Craig

House of Salt and Sorrows and House of Roots and Ruin are wonderful spooky fantasy books to get you through the fall/winter. A murderous retelling of the 12 Dancing Princesses set in a seaside manor with a horror twist! I loved it simply for how unique and original the plot was (despite it obviously being a retelling, it was just a fresh take okay?).

7. Shadowhunter Chronicles by Cassandra Clare

Just trust me, okay? They really are amazing. I'll give you the reading order; don't be intimidated I know it's a lot of books just walk with me.

8. Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge

YA fantasy that I read in a day and really enjoyed. It is a Beauty and the Beast retelling; arranged marriage enemies to lovers vibes.

9. The Beautiful Quartet by Renee Ahdieh

VAMPIRES! In New Orleans! In 1872! That is all I shall say as I have not finished the series yet!

10. Kerri Maniscalco

Her books are perfect for fall, whether you pick up the Kingdom of the Wicked series or, my personal favorite, the Stalking Jack the Ripper series. These have mystery, supernatural elements, fantasy, and romance, so there's something for everyone.

11. A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer

This is another Beauty and the Beast retelling, and the perfect fantasy series for fall and winter.

12. Caraval by Stephanie Garber

Excellent fantasy for fall and I know I keep saying that, but this series just screams October to me; idk why.

13. Three Dark Crowns Series by Kendare Blake

SOOOO not talked about enough. I loved this series when I read it. It is spooky and dark, with really interesting female characters set in a very intriguing matriarchal setting.

Classics

Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery

Greatest love story of all time literally I wish Gilbert Blythe was real! Wholesome, dreamlike, cozy series perfect for fall. I have never loved a classic more. And when you're done reading, you get the pleasure of going to watch the 1985 movies starring Megan Follows and Jonathan Crombie. This book literally gave us the "I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers" quote like come on!

The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin

I read this book once in middle school and it was the only thing I ever genuinely enjoyed reading for school. This was the original Knives Out/Inheritance Games I fear.

Mysteries

1 Charlotte Holmes Series by Brittany Cavallaro

2. A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson

3. The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

4. The Naturals Series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

5. The Debutantes Duology by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

6. The Dead Queen's Club by Hannah Capin

Romances

Off-Campus/Briar U Series by Elle Kennedy

Hockey Romance Essential Viewing

2. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

For nostalgic fall vibes

3. Once Upon A Con Series by Ashley Poston

4. Vancouver Storm Series by Stephanie Archer

Fiction

Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Mother Daughter Book Club Series by Heather Vogel Frederick (Middle grade but please read it anyway)

The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart

Another middle grade for nostalgic vibes

And that is it! The longest discussion about fall books I've ever done. If you have any other recommendations please feel free to let me know! As you can see my TBR is obviously not at all long enough.....

Anyway! Thank you so much for reading, and definitely let me know what you are reading this fall if you feel like it/if you even care fr omg. I hope y'all have a fantastic end of summer and that you're ready to have an amazing, vibey Gilmore Girls-esque autumn! Queuing up the Norah Jones as we speak, and until the next time I find time to scribble my literary thoughts down!

Xoxo,

Kenna

1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 ?? <33

thank you kenna for asking i love you <3 please tell me any books you're interested in reading as well

1. What are 2-5 already published fiction books you think you want to read in 2023?

bestiary by k ming chang because i was supposed to read it before 2022 ended. i'll list some that intimidate me most: rebecca, wuthering heights, p&p, go tell it on the mountain. DO NOT speak to me about whale weekly i'm so annoyed by how behind i am i'm two seconds away from giving up

2. What are 2-5 already published nonfiction books you think you want to read in 2023?

underland by robert mcfarlane 2023 is your year. h is for hawk by helen mcdonald 2023 is your year. women race & class 2023 is your year. why be happy when you could be normal 2023 is your year. they can't kill us until they kill us 2023 is your year.

3. Any poetry on your TBR? yes all the poetry i couldn’t get to this year: tommy pico (feed), donika kelly (bestiary), louise gluck (1962-2020), anne carson (autobiography of red), ocean vuong (time is a mother). it would be cool to attempt homer?

5. What 2023 new releases are you most looking forward to?

ALECTO THE NINTH OCTOBER 10TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (edit: NOT confirmed date but goodreads has it like that!) a day of fallen night by samantha shannon, chlorine by jade song, HOPEFULLY my favorite thing is monsters pt 2 by emil ferris and death valley by melissa broder. jenny odell has a new book coming but i'm afraid </3

6. Do you have any conceptual reading goals? E.g., I plan to read books on food history.

mostly i want to read the books that i've been meaning to read for years and years. even though i know i'm not gonna stick to it 100% i've got a list of priority books and a lot of them i've been wanting to read for at least 5 years or even more. i really wanna give all of those books a chance... this is a cop-out answer to a good question. i feel like i'm missing out on a lot! i want to strengthen my foundations be it in fiction or theory. and foundations usually come from older texts so that’s where i’m kinda directing myself. like i have a book entirely about genetics on the list cause that’s the basis for everything right and that's what i want to do for all of my interests read like, texts that will build me foundations for the rest

8. Are there any reading challenges you want to try? have not found a challenge where i like all the prompts (and if i'm doing a challenge i would like to do all the prompts RIGHT) so i had sketched out one of my own where i mixed and matched mostly from the popsugar challenge and ended with like 35 prompts but i'm not sure if i'll stick to it!

October Reads

It was a Black Widow themed October this year. Diving into this character's history was pretty cool. I'm excited to get my hands on more collections. If you have any recommendations, leave a comment! I never want my TBR stack to disappear.

BLACK WIDOW by: KELLY THOMPSON

This was my first introduction to comic book Natasha Romanoff. My knowledge of Natasha (and of all things Marvel) is based on the cinematic universe. I'm a big comic book nerd, and I used to read a ton of DC comics years ago. For some weird reason, whenever people suggested I read Marvel comics, I would get overwhelmed. I didn't know where to start. So, I just went back to the comics and characters I was enjoying at that time. Then, back in 2020, I found myself with a ton of time on my hands. So I rewatched the MCU on Disney+ in chronological order and I...I loved it. I needed more. So after years of consuming all MCU related material, my focus shifted to the comics. And I'm so glad I did.

Thompson's Natasha has a very similar vibe to MCU Natasha. Which felt like a good entry point. The storyline was thrilling and emotional. Giving Natasha such a beautiful life and then ripping it away so cruelly was a great, yet heartbreaking, foundation for the family she builds later on.

Natasha's relationships with the rest of the characters were fun to read. Her relationship with Yelena had a very strong sisterly vibe to it which I enjoyed. I know that Yelena is a very different character in the comics than in the MCU, so it was fun to see these two supporting each other in the comics. Nat's relationships with Clint and Bucky felt like lifelong friendships/romantic interests, and I'm very curious to read more about them.

The art style was great, and I loved how the action was depicted. Also, the Black Widow suit in this book is now one of my favorites. I absolutely loved the hood! This was a fun, fast-paced, emotional, and thrilling read. I'm glad I started with this book, and I'm excited to read more!

BLACK WIDOW MODERN ERA EPIC COLLECTION, VOL. 3: CHAOS by: NATHAN EDMONDSON

I didn't realize that this book would become my favorite read of 2024. But I loved it so much. It gave me exactly what I was looking for: a deeper dive into Natasha's character.

Right out of the gate this collection delivered on the spy/thriller vibes that I wanted. It didn't feel like a superhero book despite it being a superhero book. Natasha is spending her time taking jobs to right the wrongs of her past. Each chapter was packed with thrilling action and featured a very flawed Natasha. The chapters that featured other Avengers/other characters were a nice touch, but the chapters focused solely on Natasha and her journey are what truly shine in this collection.

It also gave me stunning artwork. Phil Noto's artwork was an absolutely pleasure to behold. What I loved most was how people were drawn as people. Natasha was never drawn as eye candy in this collection. I appreciated that along with the numerous other fantastic pages of beautiful art.

My favorite character has to be Liho. I was so excited to see that adorable cat at the end of many chapters. The relationship between Natasha and Liho was just *chef's kiss*.

I loved this collection. Highly recommend. As a newcomer in the Marvel comics space, this wasn't overwhelming or confusing. This is definitely a book I will reread in the future.

BITTER PRINCE’S BLURB

Once upon a time, a lion saved a girl. His little cinnamon girl.

That lion grew up into a prince. Dark, bitter, and so beautiful that it hurt to look at him.

But underneath it all, the girl saw the man. I saw his hunger for love and affection, and I had plenty to give.

I fell in love, even though he told me not to. I gave him everything, because that was who I was.

I was determined to show him the light in this world, and his smiles were what I lived for. He was my art, my melody, my muse. We were beautiful together.

So I gave and gave, all to my bitter prince. Until I had nothing left to give.

Until he left me empty.

No one warned me love would push me into darkness so cold, it’d tear me apart.

To survive, I’d have to kill the cinnamon girl and become someone else.

Someone I didn’t recognize.

October 2024 Update:

Now that we're heading into the last third of the year, I thought I'd update you with what I read over the summer. I've still been following this challenge and still overall enjoying it!

I'll start where I left off on in May:

May: The Witch Collector by Charissa Weak: this was a 'booktok' fantasy I added to my tbr that I decided to give a try. I did not enjoy this very much and really thought this was poorly written. I liked the premise? but not the actual book.

June: Silver in the Wood by Emily Tesh: This was an enjoyable novella (and sequel) that fit into a lot of the tropes and themes I enjoy. I'm very interested in Tesh as a writer now, and this blend of myth made for a good read in June. This had been on my tbr since 2020.

July:

-Thief Mage, Beggar Mage by Cat Hellison: This is a newer release, and only has 37 ratings on Goodreads, so I was interested in reading a smaller, indie published book. This was an asian inspired fantasy with lgbt characters/romance.

-The Book of the Unnamed Midwife by Meg Elison: this was a more recent edition to my tbr, but was an excellent dystopian novel with a female centric view. I really enjoyed this one, but it can get very dark.

August: Paladin's Grace by T. Kingfisher: I was super excited to pick this, and it proved to be a new favorite. This was such a fun fantasy romance (but also with a dash of horror) and I've been reading the rest of the series over the past few months.

September: Ink Blood Sister Scribe by Emma Torzs: this was also a more recent edition to my tbr, but I thought it was a very good debut, and I enjoyed this book about magic books, family secrets, and secret societies.

My pick for October is The Wolf in the Whale, which has been on my tbr since 2019, so I'm very overdue to read it. I'll update again in at the end of December, when I've completed a year of this!

I wanted to start a new challenge for 2024. This isn’t any existing challenge that I know of, but somewhat similar to a challenge booktuber Emily Fox does.

The problem: I have about 200 books in my Goodreads tbr, many of which have been on the tbr since 2018/9. These are all books that I still want to read, but haven’t taken action to reading anytime soon. I want to do something to start reading from my tbr list more.

Solution: I wrote down approximately 140 books that I want to read, cut out on little strips of paper, folded up, and put into this bowl. Each month I’m going to pick a random book and read it.

For Jan 2024, I picked The Throne of the Five Winds by CS Emmet, which has been on the tbr since 2019.

The challenge is that I have to read whatever book I pick!

We’ll see how this goes 😂 If I make it through the year, I’ll have 12 books read off my goodreads tbr

I have been keeping a record of my books read from the year 2017. It feels so good to flip through them and see back! Today I added some pictures to it as well to fill some space.

Even though, I keep a track of it on goodreads as well but written things are always more appealing and satisfactory according to me.

I always wonder in about 10 more years how even more wonderful it would be to look through it:))

p.s. - In the picture above, these are the books I have read till now in 2020. I hope to read about 5-6 more, lets see how that goes!

Bookoween: Caramel Apples, and my October TBR

Until now, I’ve actually never had a caramel apple! My husband and I had a discussion about this over the summer, when many of the seasonal anime we were watching featured summer festivals, where candied or caramel apples are a common treat. (You better believe if I ever get to Japan and attend a festival, though, I’m headed straight for the yakisoba and takoyaki!)

Cue one of my coworkers having a birthday recently, and I always make some kind of treats. It was finally time! They were easier to make than I thought they’d be, and not as messy either, so I’m pleased with my kitchen win. I used four different toppings: pretzel sticks, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and butterscotch chips.

I already cut into one to stage a book photo (why would I waste this golden opportunity of photogenic seasonal treats) so of course I had to eat it--I tried the butterscotch, called it my lunch, and down the whole thing in about fifteen minutes. My thoughts: texture, great. Love the basic concept. Butterscotch as a topping might be too sweet, and/or I should have salted them, and/or used a less-sweet apple. (These are Galas, because I didn’t want to make giant servings, also that’s what I had in my fridge already. But I see why many recipes recommend Granny Smiths.)

Verdict: will make again, and experiment with different toppings/apple varietals.

Also, the books: my October TBR.

Haunted, by Chuck Palahniuk

Behold, Here’s Poison, by Georgette Heyer (currently reading)

Needful Things: The Last Castle Rock Story, by Stephen King

A Song for Arbonne, by Guy Gavriel Kay

Acheron, by Sherrilyn Kenyon

An American Princess: The Many Lives of Allene Tew, by Annejet van der Zijl

Blindness, by Jose Saramago

Dread Nation, by Justina Ireland

The Hangman’s Daughter, by Oliver Potzsch

I generally read more than nine books in a month, but this is the minimum necessary to cover all of my reading challenge tasks (including finishing PopSugar early, I only have three to go.)

Anything else I read once I’m done will be either clearing my remaining 2017 backlog, or continuing series in progress.

Blurb

Once upon a time, a lion saved a girl. His little cinnamon girl.

That lion grew up into a prince. Dark, bitter, and so beautiful that it hurt to look at him.

But underneath it all, the girl saw the man. I saw his hunger for love and affection, and I had plenty to give.

I fell in love, even though he told me not to. I gave him everything, because that was who I was.

I was determined to show him the light in this world, and his smiles were what I lived for. He was my art, my melody, my muse. We were beautiful together.

So I gave and gave, all to my bitter prince. Until I had nothing left to give.

Until he left me empty.

No one warned me love would push me into darkness so cold, it’d tear me apart.

To survive, I’d have to kill the cinnamon girl and become someone else.

Someone I didn’t recognize.

A harmless kiss led to a fairy tale. Or so I thought. But unlike the happily-ever-afters you read about, my tale didn’t end with a wedding gown and roses. My fairy tale turned into a heartbreak. Inked in pain and sealed in tears. It almost cost me my life. And my family. He moved on as if nothing ever happened, while I was left to pick up the pieces. Now, he’s back and he wants me. To him, I’m a pawn to be used. Leverage. But I’m no longer his. I’m his brother’s betrothed. Stuck between two brothers, the push and pull unbearable. One wants me, the other needs me. But the Leone brothers will learn that this queen won’t be a pawn. To me, they are both men deserving of pain and poison. My family thinks I’ll accept my fate.

Well, I plan to fight it.

It killed me to leave her behind.

Every night I closed my eyes to the images of her lifeless body in the hospital.

Her second chance came, but it wasn’t with me. It was with my brother.

I wanted to kill him and take his place.

Except it wouldn’t change anything. She hated me.

But then secrets unraveled. The truth would twist into something bitter before it set me free.

Masks dropped. Gloves were off.

I’d fight for her. I’d bring her back. I’d protect her even if it was the last thing I did.

We made a promise. She was mine, and I was hers.

To win, I’d risk it all. My heart and life included.
