Hello Lovelies! As usual TTT is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . This week's theme is books that'll make me swoon. AKA books that I'll be rereading this Friday when I'm at home alone :D


 My YA Picks:
13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson : A voyage abroad at 17 where she meets a cute guy and has a delightful time? Dream come true for me.
Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins : I've seen lots of Anna and the French Kiss on these lists, but why neglect Stephanie's equally delightful 2nd novel?? I CANNOT WAIT for Isla and the Happily Ever After
Okay, I know my picture is of That Summer, but I'm too lazy to change it to The Truth About Forever which is probably my favorite of Dessen's books, but they're all phenomenal. Just pick one--it'll be swoon-worthy.
My adult picks
The Darkest Pleasure by Gena Showalter : Okay, okay, it's the third book in the series. But this is by far my favorite so far (in terms of swooning, hoooooooo boy).
Daughter of the Blood by Anne Bishop : This was one of my first adult romance novels outside of the contemporary genre, and sweet baby Jesus it's delicious. This series, for real though. It's intense and the love just grips your heart.
Three Fates by Nora Roberts : I was on a super big NR kick for a few years and I've read most of her stuff (although her more recent books have been far less enjoyable and I gave up on her a little bit). This is by far my favorite. And it has one of my favorite couples of contemporary romance.
Naked in Death by J.D. Robb : Okay, technically another Nora Roberts book, but I feel like this series is substantially different than her contemporary romance novels. And the relationship in this series is delightful.
Wizard of the Grove by Tanya Huff : I also adore Tanya Huff's Keeper series, but this one has the most heart-wrenching love that just ughhhhhhhh. I don't want to spoil anything but dear god.
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte : Like I could ever write a list of books about swooning without including my favorite book of all time. And while the romance in this book might not be great for real life, it's very very swoon-worthy.
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte : Such a great romance. Swooooooooon.

So what about you? What books make you swoon??

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll  is a very entertaining classic. I think everyone knows the story of young Alice who follows a White Rabbit into the world of Wonderland where everything is just slightly (or significantly) strange. For some reason, every time I've picked up Alice's Adventures before, I've put it down without making it more than 10 pages or so. But this time, I managed to finish it. It's a quirky sort of book, but I enjoyed it. It did make me think of The Phantom Tollbooth (here's my review of that classic), but I preferred Carroll's novel to Juster's. There's some great play on words and delightful misunderstandings because of homophones and characters not paying attention to each other. I think this is a worthwhile classic, but I don't actually have that much to say about it. Middle Grade March Count: 5

TBT: The Witch of Blackbird Pond

In middle school, I was a member of this reading club where we had a set of books to read as a team, and then we did like little quizzes on them against other teams. (SUPER NERD!). And now, I'm not entirely certain, but I feel pretty sure that club was where I read this book for the first time. The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare is a Newbery award winning historical fiction novel. Orphan Kit Tyler has been moved from her home in the Caribbean to her puritan relative's home in Connecticut.  She feels like she has nothing in common with these relatives, but she does form an attachment with an old Quaker woman and a young sailor, Nat. Of course breaking out of the mold is not without its price, and Kit learns this for herself when she is accused of witchcraft. This is one of those books that I think about constantly. I haven't reread it in several years, but I always want to. I recommend it frequently to other. This is a book for readers...
