Read it & Weep #3

So here is another Read it & Weep, with another 5 books that I wanted to recommend to you guys, so once again I hope you enjoy and I hope you end up reading some of the books shown in this post. 1. The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater - My Rating - 5/5 stars Goodreads Synopsis - “There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve,” Neeve said. “Either you’re his true love . . . or you killed him.” It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.

Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble. But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He has it all—famil...

Book Review - Firsts by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn

Hello, this is another Book Review, this time for Firsts by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn , can I first start this off my saying how sweet Laurie is, not many authors will comment on your Instagram posts thanking you for reading their book but she did and I just thought that was really lovely of her and I just wanted to quickly mention it. Firstly the synopsis from Goodreads - " Seventeen-year-old Mercedes Ayres has an open-door policy when it comes to her bedroom, but only if the guy fulfils a specific criteria: he has to be a virgin. Mercedes lets the boys get their awkward, fumbling first times over with, and all she asks in return is that they give their girlfriends the perfect first time- the kind Mercedes never had herself. Keeping what goes on in her bedroom a secret has been easy so far. He absentee mother isn't home enough to know about Mercedes' extracurricular activities, and her uber-religious best friend, Angela, won't even say the word 'Sex' until...
