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

Will Laila trust Matty enough to try the effugium? AUTHOR: Emma Egglestone Escape by Emma Egglestone is a book about two teenagers, Laila and Matty. Both have their own set of problems to face even though they had seemingly a "perfect" childhood. They use the drug Effugium to escape to other scenarios. Also, I want to issue a Trigger Warning in this book about Depression, Anxiety, and Drug-misuse (Anti-depressants.) Both Laila and Matty's characters were highly relatable because mostly the books I have read have a relatable lead, but their story isn't. But with Laila and Matty, the introductions of
