pickThis is probably meant to be a YA, but excellent reading for us adults. The characters leap to life right off the pages and all I wanted to do was curl up with this book. Tessa Johnson loses her ability to write and has to really meet herself and learn to love herself to find it again. @FeatherV thank you for the recommendation.
In the book “ Happily Ever Afters “ an allusion used in the book was “ I CAN FIX YOUR WAND HARRY!! “ We can see that she is referencing the book Harry Potter
pickHave you ever been the ‘weird black girl‘…well I have and still am. A personal love story I truly relate to being like the protagonist and wanting to explore your creativity, your identity, your other half, and ‘your people‘…even if they don‘t look like you.
pickLoved this story and all it‘s YA glory❤️❤️❤️ Wish I had a book like this growing up📚📚📚and the cover is so sweet⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickOMG go read this book now.
I think I have a new favorite

so-soMy last book of may. It was ok. I liked it but, some of the decisions the characters make I didn‘t really agree with. It was also kinda predictable too
What do you mean not in front of Harry ? Sure he was 1 at the time and doesn‘t really remember but Lily jumped in front of him, and when the dementors are around, doesn‘t he hear her screams ?
pickA quick and wonderful listen, though there are several times I wanted to shake Tessa to get her to straighten up, but teenagers. 🤷🏻♀️
The ending wasn‘t exactly what I was expecting, but I didn‘t hate it.
New video is live, y‘all :) coming this week I have more reviews I will post in here as well as surprises in store this week for my Youtube page 🥰

pickI liked everything around the romance more than the romance. The romance was fine, but it was the charming, if a bit frustrating, narrator‘s coming to terms with her anxiety & working through her relationship to her family that kept me riveted. & there‘s just stellar conversation around disability. In the end, this cute, sweet read does exactly what it set out to do — remind us that “happily ever after” first means being happy with yourself. ★★★★☆
I bookstagrammed! Lol. That‘s what happens when I get fresh flowers (and why I hardly ever bookstagram my pics 😅🤣)
What should I read first?
Thank you thank you @hes7 ! I cannot wait to read this novel and I haven‘t waited to dive into the treats 😅 the chocolates are already being enjoyed. Thank you, and thank you @candority for organizing!
These are some of the physical books for which I also currently have audiobooks checked out from the library... which to pick first for my next #ImmersionReading experience? 🤔
Her book box came and she immediately sat down and started reading. She will probably read it all today. #bookworm #onceuponabookclub #bookbox
pickA ya about a girl who writes romance novels, gets thrown into a new school situation and attempts to put romance tropes into her own life.
pickI loved Happily Ever Afters. The story is cute and talks about important issues. Tessa grew up around very few black people. Tessa is in multiple situations with racial problems. Bryant discusses how Tessa feels and why she handles the situations the way she does.
Thank you Balzer + Bray, Harper Collins and Edelweiss for Happily Ever Afters.

pickAn adorable romcom reminding me a bit of All The Boys I've Loved Before with the focus on family, friends, and of course, boys. I honestly don't read much romance, but from the little I have read, it is a nice and welcome change of pace that the main character is black and that there is also some disabilities representation through the sibling character.
Thank you Edelweiss and Balzer + Bray (Harper Collins) for this ARC. I can't wait to read Happily Ever Afters. #Edelweiss #ARC #BalzerBray #HarperCollins
