A Blind Man Can See How Much I Love You
A Blind Man Can See How Much I Love You

Book Favorite

"Bloom is talking about love, yes, but there’s nothing ordinary about any of the love stories in this book. There’s always a catch, and there’s always something that takes her story into unfamiliar terrain. As I read her book, I became almost frightened to see where she’d take me next. It was always someplace I’d never been; but in the end it felt very much like home."

I love Colin and his man bun!

At the start I wasn't sure how the author was going to play it. Was she leaning Jessie's way or was she going to go Colin's? In the end I'm glad it was Colin. I fell in love with him as easy as Blair did. He's an amazing guy!

I look forward to reading Isla's story too.

I enjoyed Big Rock, but I have to be honest - I didn't love it. The plot was so cliche, a "been there, read that" familiarity. In fact, it was so cliche, I had hoped through the first half that Lauren was tricking us into thinking those two best friends would fall in love with each other. Despite the utter predictability, I did enjoy the story.

This movie is my childhood. Howl is the guy I aspire to be with and Sophie is the whimsical beauty I wish I could be. It is by far my favourite Studio Ghibli movie and will continue to be far into the future. I love the story and the romance, how Howl and Sophie battle things together and eventually realise their love for each other. Beautiful.

Love story
Nyx is honestly my favorite female book character. She has such a realism to her that I want to wrap around me. She isn't this hero who is going to her death great full for a chance to save her world, she is angry and full of poison and it's so refreshing. She isn't a perfect martyr. Not to mention the book takes its time and the time frame isn't a few days and Boom! She's in love. She has the opportunity to learn something about her husband and he has the opportunity to show he loves her for who she is. I reread the book constantly and I highly recommend it as a love story.

I have no words to explain my love and sorrow for this film. (0 more)
Heartbroken. Somebody told me John Green wrote this story based on his daughters life which made my tears burn my face as I read, then watched and took the adventure with the characters. Hazel and Augustus will forever be in my heart.
The plot twist was just too much, I'm in love with a tragedy that I journey on now and again.
Read it more than once. Take your time. This is a journey that'll stick with you for the rest of your life.
I'm sorry but you HAVE to read this. You must cry like me and believe in the love the two characters shared. What a story!

I love these books. And the second one does not disappoint! The story continues with Sorrowlynn learning to fight so she can go after Golmarr, her love who now hates her.
After some mishaps Sorrow learns that her life has been predicted and she must choose to follow the path. Gaining new friends and enemies this book continues the epic quest.
I adore both Sorrow and Golmarr. They have a love that is tested again and again. Yet they have to learn to get past obsicales together. The story does a great job of keeping you on your toes while making you read super fast to find out what will happen.
highly recommend to anyone who loves dragons, fantasy, and really good plots.
