Valentine's day, book recommendation

Being February, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to write a romance book recommendation. I don't know about you, but I am just in the vibe of reading a good, quirky romance, maybe it is because of Valentine's day or because of the cold weather and the fact that it is the "month of love". And yeah, hope you will enjoy it.
Family & friendship relationship:
1. Witch and Wizard by James Patterson;
   This is a fantasy story about a brother and a sister who are separated from their parents into a world they know nothing about. The book follows the bound between Whit Allgood and his sister, Whisty and the struggles they go through while trying to find their family and help their new friends and discovering their magical powers. In the book briefly appears Whit's girlfriend. 

2.Half-blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout;
   Another great fantasy book, also the first book in a series. This deals more with friendship and self-discovery. Alex is trying to hunt her mother and kill her, but things complicate a little. She is behind her training and what she discovers about herself is turning her world upside down. It also has a surprisingly interesting love triangle.

Love relationships:
3. The boy who sneaks in my bedroom window by Kirsty Moseley;
OMG!!! This is the best romance book I have ever read in my life! It was sweet, cute, funny, fascinating, real and it deals with family abuse. I loved it and personally think it is the perfect book for Valentine's Day time. And by the way, there is Liam in this story which basically says it all, because he's the best! Wanna know why? Then go and read this book, what are you waiting for?

4. Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespear;
This is a classic love story where two young people fall in love and think the world would end if they lose each other. Everyone heard about it and even if it's not my favorite romance story I thought it deserves its place on this list.

5. The bad boy series by April Brookshire;
A great series! It is a fun read, you will finish it quick! Gianna and Caleb share a cute relationship and have completely different characters which make their evolution interesting.


6. The Too Far series by Abbi Glines;
 A new-adult romance series that will make you dream of summer and hot weather. The setting is gorgeous and I love writing. The chemistry between Rush and Blair is undeniable and sweet. It also deals with family issues and shows how strong the love of a brother to his little sister is.


7. Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell;
  This book is exactly what I would call an authentic American book. I love how Rainbow Rowell developed this love story between two high-school kids and that the ending wasn't "happy ever after". It is a great read and I firmly believe that it would make a great read or reread on Valentine's Day.

8. These broken stars by Amie Kaufman and Megan Spooner.
  Who doesn't love a good SF book? These broken stars is the first book in a SF series. The story follows the steps that Trevor and Lilac take in order to escape from a strange, unknown planet. The book describes their adventure and how they fall in love during this trip. Plus the cover is so beautiful!

January wrap-up

January was an amazing reading month for me. Not only I have read a LOT, but I also have participated in the first read-a-thon of my life, I read my first audio-book this month, and I managed to keep you guy updated pretty well. So without other information, let me show you the books I have read this month:
1. Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare
I had to read this book for my English literature class. It was a reread for me and I enjoyed it.

2. Dash and Lily's book of dares by Rachel Chon
I LOVED THIS BOOK SOOOOO MUCH! I wanted to keep the holiday spirit with me even if Christmas had already passed and this book was just perfect! It was everything that I might want and need. It was fun, mysterious, interesting and a good young adult story.

3. Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco
I read this during the winter biannual bibliathon. It wan a good book, one of the few mystery books I have ever read. It was fascinating at the beginning but then it kind of lost me on the way. I loved the ending though, I liked that they left to Romania to study medicine. I gave this book 4/5 stars on Goodreads.

4. A court of thorns and roses by Sarah J. Mass
OMG! This was the best book I have ever read. I read it during the bibliathon and I have only two words to describe it mind-blowing.

5. Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur
This was another debut for me. I have never read such an emotional book. I am not the biggest fan of poetry books, but this was surely a 5/5 star book.

6. Stone Cold Touch by Jennifer L. Armentrout
As you probably know so far Jennifer L. Armentrout is one of my favorite writers. So far anything I read from her I had truly enjoyed. There is no doubt I liked this book a lot.


I am currently reading "The boy who sneaks in my bedroom window" by Kirsty Moseley.
