Hi guys! It's Ana and today I bring one of my favorite type of book recommendations and it's If you like this... then you'll like this...
I will recommend a book based in another book.

If you like Josh and Hazel's Guide to not Dating by Christina Lauren then you'll like The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary


Josh and Hazel's Guide to not Dating by Christina Lauren - Review

Hazel Camille Bradford knows she’s a lot to take - and frankly, most men aren’t up to the challenge. If her army of pets and thrill for the absurd don’t send them running, her lack of filter means she’ll say exactly the wrong thing in a delicate moment. Their loss. She’s a good soul in search of honest fun.
Josh Im has known Hazel since college, where her zany playfulness proved completely incompatible with his mellow restraint. From the first night they met - when she gracelessly threw up on his shoes - to when she sent him an unintelligible email while in a post-surgical haze, Josh has always thought of Hazel more as a spectacle than a peer. But now, ten years later, after a cheating girlfriend has turned his life upside down, going out with Hazel is a breath of fresh air.

 The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary - Review

Tiffy Moore needs a cheap flat, and fast. Leon Twomey works nights and needs cash. Their friends think they’re crazy, but it’s the perfect solution: Leon occupies the one-bed flat while Tiffy’s at work in the day, and she has the run of the place the rest of the time.
But with obsessive ex-boyfriends, demanding clients at work, wrongly imprisoned brothers and, of course, the fact that they still haven’t met yet, they’re about to discover that if you want the perfect home you need to throw the rulebook out the window...

 When I was reading Josh and Hazel's Guide to not Dating it remind me a lot of The Flatshare because Hazel and Josh are in some ways similiar with Tiffy and Leon. Hazel and Tiffy are both funny, smart, strong, eccentric, out going. Josh and Leon are funny, charming, smart, sarcastic.
In both books the romance are the most cute and beautiful in the world.
If you want a book with amazing, funny protagonists, friends and the cutest romance ever you should read  Josh and Hazel's Guide to not Dating and The Flatshare.
Have you read any of the books I mentioned above?

Hi guys! It's Ana and today I bring my TBR for the month of October.

1. Book out of my comfort zone - For this challenge I pick another adult romance



Hazel Camille Bradford knows she’s a lot to take - and frankly, most men aren’t up to the challenge. If her army of pets and thrill for the absurd don’t send them running, her lack of filter means she’ll say exactly the wrong thing in a delicate moment. Their loss. She’s a good soul in search of honest fun.

Josh Im has known Hazel since college, where her zany playfulness proved completely incompatible with his mellow restraint. From the first night they met - when she gracelessly threw up on his shoes - to when she sent him an unintelligible email while in a post-surgical haze, Josh has always thought of Hazel more as a spectacle than a peer. But now, ten years later, after a cheating girlfriend has turned his life upside down, going out with Hazel is a breath of fresh air.

Not that Josh and Hazel date. At least, not each other. Because setting each other up on progressively terrible double blind dates means there’s nothing between them... right?

 2. Book starting with each alphabet letter (in this one I will chose a book from the abc book challenge) - For this challenge I pick an historical fiction
Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys


Lina is just like any other fifteen-year-old Lithuanian girl in 1941. She paints, she draws, she gets crushes on boys. Until one night when Soviet officers barge into her home, tearing her family from the comfortable life they've known. Separated from her father, forced onto a crowded and dirty train car, Lina, her mother, and her young brother slowly make their way north, crossing the Arctic Circle, to a work camp in the coldest reaches of Siberia. Here they are forced, under Stalin's orders, to dig for beets and fight for their lives under the cruelest of conditions.

Lina finds solace in her art, meticulously - and at great risk - documenting events by drawing, hoping these messages will make their way to her father's prison camp to let him know they are still alive. It is a long and harrowing journey, spanning years and covering 6,500 miles, but it is through incredible strength, love, and hope that Lina ultimately survives.

3. An "older" book - For this challenge I pick a book from 2015

Uprooted by Naomi Novik


Agnieszka loves her valley home, her quiet village, the forests and the bright shining river. But the corrupted Wood stands on the border, full of malevolent power, and its shadow lies over her life.

Her people rely on the cold, driven wizard known only as the Dragon to keep its powers at bay. But he demands a terrible price for his help: one young woman handed over to serve him for ten years, a fate almost as terrible as falling to the Wood.

But Agnieszka fears the wrong things. For when the Dragon comes, it is not Kasia he will choose.

4. A booktuber or book blogger favorite book - For this challenge I pick a favorite book of a booktuber (link) and book blogger (link), Melanie.

Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston


When his mother became President, Alex Claremont-Diaz was promptly cast as the American equivalent of a young royal. Handsome, charismatic, genius - his image is pure millennial-marketing gold for the White House. There's only one problem: Alex has a beef with the actual prince, Henry, across the pond. And when the tabloids get hold of a photo involving an Alex - Henry altercation, U.S./British relations take a turn for the worse.

Heads of family, state, and other handlers devise a plan for damage control: staging a truce between the two rivals. What at first begins as a fake, Instragramable friendship grows deeper, and more dangerous, than either Alex or Henry could have imagined. Soon Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret romance with a surprisingly unstuffy Henry that could derail the campaign and upend two nations and begs the question: Can love save the world after all? Where do we find the courage, and the power, to be the people we are meant to be? And how can we learn to let our true colors shine through?

I already read this book and it's amazing!

Hi guys! It's Ana and today I bring my top ten favorite book quotes. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018!

1. "The moon understands what it means to be human. Uncertain. Alone. With craters of imperfections." - Shatter Me, Tahereh Mafi

2. "In the darkest days you have to look for a point of brilliance, on the coldest days you have to look for a place of warmth, on the darkest days you have to keep your eyes straight and in the saddest days you have to leave them open to leave them, to cry them. Then let them cry. To give them a chance to wash the pain in order to see fresh and clear once again." - Unravel Me, Tahereh Mafi

3. "What keeps you trapped?... What keeps you from living the life you want? What keeps you from being free?" - A List of Cages, Robin Roe

4. "Broken isn't the same as unfixable." - Winter, Marissa Meyer

5. "One must always be careful of books and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us." - Clockwork Angel, Cassandra Clare

6. "This is what I want and what I’ve chosen,” he said. “How dare you tell me it’s a tragedy? Magnus never pretended, he never tried to fool me into thinking it would be easy, but choosing Magnus is one of the easiest things I’ve ever done. We all have a lifetime, Zara, and none of us know how long or short it might be. Surely even you know that. I expect you mean to be rude and cruel, but I doubt you meant to sound stupid as well.”
She flushed. “But if you die of old age and he lives forever—”
“Then he’ll be there for Max, and that makes both of us happy,” said Alec. “And I will be a uniquely lucky person, because there will be someone who always remembers me. Who will always love me. Magnus won’t always mourn, but until the end of time he will remember me and love me." - Lord of Shadows, Cassandra Clare

7. "Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart." - Six of Crows, Leigh Bardugo

8. "It's not natural for women to fight."
"It's not natural for someone to be as stupid as he is tall, and yet there you stand." - Six of Crows, Leigh Bardugo

9. "Besides, she was the Wraith – the only law that applied to her was gravity, and some days she defied that, too." - Six of Crows, Leigh Bardugo

10. "No Mourners. No Funerals." - Six of Crows, Leigh Bardugo
