booktok influenced book haul

[@ellie5560]

sometimes a predictable, cliche book is what we need🤷🏻‍♀️they’re comforting af. angsty books can be too much sometimes, so i love a bit of predictability and fluff.

[@LovelyLikeLaura]

SO TRUE they just bring me confort

[@manvisinha5569]

That's like my reading slump cure 😂

[@ellarenee2309]

My favorite classic of all time is To Kill a Mockingbird!! I love that book so much.

[@LovelyLikeLaura]

yess thats a great one i should reread

[@kookiekrumzjk]

I’m pretty sure My Policeman is about Harry’s character being gay and a woman & a man fall in love with him, but it’s the 50s… so you know how that goes 😭 I have the book too & plan on reading it!

[@erineadams]

if you haven't already I recommend Sweet Home by Tillie Cole

[@brielle3048]

So true abt the shelves finally adapting at the book stores! I’m so excited abt it!

[@jackieantonacci8165]

[@astrixsm8411]

Omg I can't wait for your feedback of People we meet on vacation. You're gonna LOVEEEE IT I'm sure.

[@imaanghauri3990]

You need to read Kennedy Ryan's books. The best I've read this year. HIGHLY recommend Long Shot and All the King's Men series

[@Sabrinchen99]

Can you do a bookshelftour?

[@carterhamlet]

I want to read a little life but there are so many trigger warnings and I've heard that it's really gory and detailed in those triggers so idk if my little heart can take it.

[@LovelyLikeLaura]

ahh totally understandable! i'll give me feedback on that when i read it and let you all know my thoughts

[@whimz_cal]

omg laura do u have any recommendations on some books that’s like the C.U hockey series?

[@IvyGirl22]

A Little Life is slightly traumatizing to read. I loved it, but just wanted to let you know there's LOTS of trigger warnings. I didn't emotionally recover for at least a month. I do hope you enjoy it as well

[@andaalothman5204]

[@shaunnaweber97]

Can we talk about your amazing nail color please? lol

[@ellie5560]

the heroine, Erika, from Corrupt is probably my least favourite heroine of all time😭 she’s so goddam irritating... *but* the rest of the series is SO good!!

[@LovelyLikeLaura]

i've heard the other books are lowkey better than corrupt from so many people ill take ur word!!

[@unissuedg2264]

can i ask why you find her irritating? i’ve heard a lot of people say that but she’s my favorite girl main character in the whole devils night series!!

[@ellie5560]

@@unissuedg2264 it’s more so from everyone else’s books that make me dislike her. in her own she’s not bad at all. but with all the other books, she’s still such a huge part of them, trying to be the centre of attention and everything revolving around her and it kinda bugs me😭 i want to read about the main couple of that book, not how it affects Erika or however she’s involved, you know? like things always tie back to her and it annoys tf out of me lol.

[@unissuedg2264]

@@ellie5560 ya i get what you mean, but i’ve noticed that in most series, the first couple in a book series always ends up having more scenes in the other books, i guess because they’re the characters that started it all!

[@ellie5560]

@@unissuedg2264 yes that is so true!! sometimes i love it, sometimes i loathe it😭 it’s definitely a pattern but I understand why authors do it, like you said. and i imagine the first couple are quite special to the author too since it was their first book in the series they wrote- a series that ends up super popular.
