Hey loves. I wanted to quickly share this awesome Pre-order Opportunity for From Twinkle, With Love, which is expected to be released June 5, 2018. This novel is one of my anticipated reads in 2018 and I absolutely cannot wait! I loved Sandhya Menon’s debut novel, When Dimple Met Rishi, and I’m so excited to read more of her amazing books! And that cover is soooo stinkin’ cute!!! If you want to check out my review for When Dimple Met Rishi, click HERE.

synopsispic

ASPIRING FILMMAKER AND WALLFLOWER TWINKLE MEHRA HAS STORIES SHE WANTS TO TELL AND UNIVERSES SHE WANTS TO EXPLORE, IF ONLY THE WORLD WOULD LISTEN. SO WHEN FELLOW FILM GEEK SAHIL ROY APPROACHES HER TO DIRECT A MOVIE FOR THE UPCOMING SUMMER FESTIVAL, TWINKLE IS ALL OVER IT. THE CHANCE TO PUBLICLY SHOWCASE HER VOICE AS A DIRECTOR? DREAM COME TRUE. THE FACT THAT IT GETS HER CLOSER TO HER LONGTIME CRUSH, NEIL ROY—A.K.A. SAHIL’S TWIN BROTHER? DREAM COME TRUE X 2.
When mystery man “N” begins emailing her, Twinkle is sure it’s Neil, finally ready to begin their happily-ever-after. The only slightly inconvenient problem is that, in the course of movie-making, she’s fallen madly in love with the irresistibly adorkable Sahil.
Twinkle soon realizes that resistance is futile: The romance she’s got is not the one she’s scripted. But will it be enough?
Told through the letters Twinkle writes to her favorite female filmmakers, From Twinkle, with Love navigates big truths about friendship, family, and the unexpected places love can find you

Doesn’t the premise sounds so swoony and adorable!?!? Ahhh I’m sooo stoked for this book to come out!

Hi everyone! It’s time for another TBR Thursdays which is a weekly segment that highlights books, ebooks, and ARCs that I own and have been in my TBR forever. At the end of the year, I’ll do a recap to see how many of these books I actually read.

If you want to help me tackle my neverending TBR, share your thoughts and recommendations with me.

Today’s pick is…

synopsispic

After a thousand years of peace, the battle between Light and Dark has resumed.

On her eighteenth birthday, Princess Evelayn of Éadrolan, the Light Kingdom, can finally access the full range of her magical powers. The light looks brighter, the air is sharper, and the energy she can draw when fighting feels almost limitless.

But while her mother, the queen, remains busy at the war front, in the Dark Kingdom of Dorjhalon, the corrupt king is plotting. King Bain wants control of both kingdoms, and his plan will fling Evelayn into the throne much sooner than she expected.

In order to defeat Bain and his sons, Evelayn will quickly have to come into her ability to shape-shift, and rely on the alluring, but mysterious Lord Tanvir. Not everyone is what they seem, and the balance between the Light and Dark comes at a steep price.

Here’s another ARC I got from Yallwest last year. Like all my other physical ARCs, which I had planned to read, I have yet to get to this one. It’s just I requested so many eARCs on Netgalley not thinking I would get approved, but I did, so now I’m trying to get through them all. Only thing is…. I cannot stop myself from requesting… One day, I will have an 80% or above feedback ratio on Netgalley and I will read all the ARCs (ebooks and physical) I’ve received… hopefully.

Have any of you read this book? What did you think?

What are some ARCS you’ve had on your TBR forever that they’ve been released and you still haven’t read them?
