Coming up with a title for this post was hard, you guys! I found these really great Twitter threads on book marketing and PR by Margot Wood a while ago and it’s been on my mind ever since. I went back to college last year mainly because of my interest in marketing and books, so I love it when people in the field talk about it online. It got me thinking of all the reasons I buy books and I thought it be fun to devote a blog post to it! These reasons aren’t really marketing, but I wanted to share them anyway.

Oh, my goodness. My heart is SO full of happiness right now. You’re all probably aware of the To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before movie by now, and let me tell you this: it deserves ALL the hype it gets. I’m not really a rom-com person, and I wasn’t sure what to expect but I loved it so much more than I thought it would. I’ve actually lost count of how many times I’ve watched this movie. It could be five times, could be ten… WHO KNOWS?! I wouldn’t call this post a review exactly, but here are my thoughts.

At the beginning of this year, I set my Goodreads Reading Challenge to 75 books. The number is pretty much right in the middle of my two previous challenges, and it felt right. Then I slipped from one reading slump into the other and even my summer holiday wasn’t able to help me catch up. Since I’m about to go back to college, and my reading time will be much less, I’ve decided to have a good look at my reading; Will I be able to reach my goal?

I love bad guys in books. Especially when they’re actually just as sweet and lovely as cinnamon rolls. There’s nothing better than falling in love with a bad guy, right?! And then discovering they’re just the sweetest boys ever. RIGHT?! If you couldn’t tell yet, I really love a cinnamon roll who’s simply disguised as a bad guy. Here are my five favourites!
