All books are good, but there are books in which you fall in love at first sight (hello, bookish insta-love).
So I decided that I’ll give you a list of books I haven’t read, but they definitely forced my heart to beat faster.
1) The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig
Five reasons to preorder this as soon as possible:
1. You see this? I mean, DO YOU SEE THIS COVER? BECAUSE THIS COVER IS EXCELLENT.
2. Even if this book had the most ugly cover in the world (which is generally unrealistic, but let’s assume), I would still have bought it just because of this title. I’m freaking Doctor Who fan, don’t touch me, I’ll bite.
3. Time-travel ship! As if the ship alone is no longer cool. BUT TIME-TRAVEL. THAT’S A THING. OH YEAH.
4. It is set in nineteenth-century Hawaii.
5. Amazing dude aka Hot Persian Thief. Heidi definitely decided to spoil us.
2) The Love That Split the World by Emily Henry
Five reasons to preorder this as soon as possible:
1. THIS COVER OH MAN.
2. I think this is the most elegant title since Shakespeare’s poems.
3. “Friday Night Lights meets The Time Traveler’s Wife”. I’m in. I think, you are, too.
4. TIME TRAVEL!!!
5. I’m pretty sure that this book will break my heart, but I love such books. (c) Your Masochist
