There's nothing wrong with being a Lizard either, unless you were born to be a Hawk.  AUTHOR: Leigh Bardugo SYNOPSIS:   Surrounded by enemies, the once-great nation of Ravka has been torn in two by the Shadow Fold, a swath of near impenetrable darkness crawling with monsters who feast on human flesh. Now its fate may rest on the shoulders of one lonely refugee. Alina Starkov has never been good at anything.

And for Natasha, a woman reeling from the pain of losing a loved one, evil is all the more tempting. Luck or misfortune spirits Natasha away to the foreign Court of Velaris in a quest for a suitor but instead secures her a place among Velarian royalty.

But with the existence of a violent rebel group capable of cataclysmic damage, there is little time for love. With war brewing amidst the ...

It's summer, and who wouldn't love a good summer romance beach read? Well, I am here with a list of books I have read this summer and would want to read.  Summer beach reads are different for everyone, but for me, summer beach reads are happy-ending romantic novels set in summer.  Summer books also contain happy, upbeat readers that match my summer Spotify playlist.   I would not like to be bawling my eyes in the summer, so I prefer happy-endings, but there are millions of other genres you consider as Summer beach reads, and I would love to hear them in the comments. This post is also proof of the amount of love I have for the Enemies to Lovers trope. THE SPANISH LOVE DECEPTION, ELENA  ARMAS I finished this book just this Wednesday, and I literally forgot to sleep while reading this. I started this around 3 am, and the next thing I know, I see the sun. It is rising, and it's 8 am. This book was just so beautiful. If you have read and loved I sold... on Wattpad, ...
