Valentine's day is coming, and love is supposed to be in the air. Well, for some people, at least, I am sitting in my home writing about fictional characters and their pairings, so who am I to say? So since I am gonna be drinking hot chocolate and reading A Court of Mist and Fury at home, I decided to do a second part of my favorite OTP's. I am going to put the link to the first one down. OTP's are Fictional couples who are endgame from my favorite novels! As much as I love to sit at home and binge The Vampire Diaries, I won't be including Damon and Elena or Klause and Caroline (I ship them more than I ship Stefan and Caroline!) because I haven't read the books.  Kaz and Inej, Six of Crows "I would come for you, and If I couldn't walk, I'd crawl to you."

As you all might know, it's June which mean it's Pride month! 🏳‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 Pride Month is the month where we celebrate the lives of those people part of the LGBTQ+ community. I read a few new LGBTQ+ books this month, and I've read many from before as well. I read one of the books I am going to mention like 2-3 days ago only, and yes, I liked that book that much for it to make it onto my favourites instantly).  I thought if I can make my bullet journal pride-themed I can also do a blog post on my favourite LGBTQ+ Books! Now this list would not specifically contain only LGBTQ+ romance. It'll have a book that showcases the LGBTQ+ community even though the main plot does not revolve around their romance.  Most of the LGBTQ+ books I have read on Wattpad, and I might be making a recommendation on that soon, but all of the books I am going to mention here are the ones that are actually published books.  1. Red White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston  "History, huh? Bet we ...
