Top 10 Books To Snuggle Up With On V-Day

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke And The Bookish where each week there is a new topic for a top ten list. 

This week is a Valentine's Day Freebie so  I chose: "Top 'Ten' Books To Read On Single's Awareness Day!" 

1. My Life Next Door/The Boy Most Likely To

I'm counting these as 1 on my list because you can't read one without the other, but if you're trapped someplace cold this Valentines Day why not snuggle up with Tim Mason or Jase Garrett? 

2. To All The Boys I've Loved Before/P.S. I Still Love You 

Two more that need to be read together! Lara Jean is adorable and these are the perfect books for a night in on Vday!

3. The Duff 

Two words: Wesley Rush. Two more words: Robbie Amell. Why not have yourself a Duff marathon? Read the book and then pop in the movie and watch Robbie Amell take off his shirt!

4. Anna and The French Kiss 

If you'd rather pretend like you're not sitting at home in your pjs at 9pm on a Friday night, why not pick up Anna and jet off to the City of Love? This book is adorable and the setting is spectacular! 
 

5. Since You've Been Gone

Frank Porter, will you be my Valentine?... No seriously, will you? 

I dare you to read this book and not love it! It's one of my all time favorite contemporaries and the perfect book to brighten up this dreary February! 

6. On The Fence 

If you're more of a tomboy and you'd rather watch football while wearing your favorite players jersey then getting dressed up and going to a fancy restaurant then this book is for you! It's the perfect blend of cute, romantic and real. 

The last three I'm mentioning are all NA. 

7. Ugly Love 

Fair warning: this book will make you ugly cry! But it is so worth it! If you haven't seen the actor who they have cast to play Miles yet then I HIGHLY suggest googling him asap! (Nick Batman) (You're welcome)

8. Play Of Light

Another tear jerker read but again well worth it. Debra's writing is so unbelievably beautiful that it takes your breath away. 

This one is set on Cape Cod and is the perfect read to warm up your February!

9. Stupid Girl 

This is the first ARC I was ever sent (nearly two years ago) and I can still remember almost everything about this book! 

If you're in the mood for a 'bad boy' (with a Boston accent!) falls for 'good girl' romance then this is for you! 

Let me know what book you'll be reading this Valentines Day and I'll talk to you soon! 

Until next time,

Review of "On The Fence"

On The Fence By Kasie West 

Stars: 5 

Source: Purchased 

Charlotte Reynolds, AKA Charlie, was raised by her Father and three older brothers. Since her Mother died when she was only six she never truly had a female role model. Which is why after getting a speeding ticket and being forced to get a job Charlie finds herself completely lost working at a small clothing boutique in town. 

She doesn't know the first thing about style, or hair, or makeup or nails. But suddenly she's thrust into this world and surprisingly, instead of drowning finds herself able to at least keep her head above the water. 

However not knowing how to put together an outfit is the least of Charlies worries. Since she started working she hasn't had time to run which means she isn't tired enough when she gets home to sleep straight through the night without the nightmares creeping into her dreams and haunting her subconscious.

The only thing that seems to help her through the tough times are her late night talks with her next door neighbor and honorary brother, Braden. 

It doesn't take long for Charlie to realize she's falling for Braden but the fence isn't the only thing that separates them and if there is even the smallest chance of Charlie losing him then she can't risk telling him how she feels.

On The Fence is a heartwarming love story that fans of Sarah Dessen and Stephanie Perkins will find themselves swooning over.

--------------------------------------------

I don't even know where to start. First off I'm warning you, do not start this book unless you intend on finishing it in one sitting. It's impossible to put down. 

It didn't take more than a couple of sentences for me to fall head over heels in love with Kasie's writing style, her story and most importantly, her characters. 

Every character jumped off of the page, demanding to be seen and heard and understood. 

I loved Charlie and Braden, their dynamic relationship had me pulling for them before I finished the first chapter but I also fell in love with her older brothers and how protective they were towards her. 

The fact that Charlie was a tomboy who watches sports instead of reality tv shows and would rather play around in the mud with the boys than go to the mall was a giant cherry on top. Having a female protagonist who doesn't look and act like a 90210 extra was such a breath of fresh air. 

I loved how even though it was a cute, romantic read it had deeper issues and storylines that you don't usually find in rom-coms. It had a depth to it that made the story feel much more real and made you care about it just a little bit more. 

I can't wait to read more from Kasie and if you haven't yet picked up this book I urge you to do so as soon as possible, you won't regret it! 

Until next time, 

Ginger
