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 "Ugly Love"

Ugly Love 

By Colleen Hoover 

Source: Purchased 

Stars: 5 

Tate Collins doesn't have time for a boyfriend and Miles Archer is too emotionally damaged to want a girlfriend, so all that leaves is sex. 

Tate thought it would be easy, simple even. They have rules and when they stick to them no one gets hurt. But Tate finds herself wanting more from their arrangement and Miles keeps giving her hope that there might be something more to them then their physical connection. 

But in order for Tate to break down Miles' walls and make him open up to her she has to learn about his past, the one he keeps guarded, the one that she swore never to ask about. 

Love is a lot of things and Colleen Hoover does a spectacular job of showing us all the ugliest parts of it. 

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

I blew through this book, it probably took me less than 6 hours to read it start to finish and when I did finish I was wrecked. 

I can't even tell you how much I love Colleen's ability to take a story such as this one, one about 'friends with benefits' and tell it in a way that's completely unique and (thankfully) lacks all of cliches. 

I loved Tate as a character and (of course) I instantly fell for Miles and his puppy dog eyes. 

I really enjoyed the lack of other characters, yes there were small bits and pieces with other people passing through but for the most part it was solely Miles and Tate and I feel like with anyone else's characters it would've gotten old real fast but Colleens characters are so lively and so complex that the whole book could have been set in an 8x10 room with just the two of them and it still would've been amazing. 

I don't want to go into too much detail about the book because I feel like if I do I'll give something away so I'll just end by saying that Colleen has this magically way of tugging on your heartstrings and forcing you to believe in true love, even the ugly kind. 

Until next time, 

Ginger
