        This book just made me want to get up and go to Italy. Too bad I don't have my passport yet...

Quotes:

    Image result for love and gelato book series
  1. "Turns out there's a reason they call it falling in love because when it happens- really happens- that's exactly how it feels. There's no doing or trying, you just let go and hope that someone's going to be there to catch you."
  2. "A life without love is like a year without summer."
  3. "Before I could catch it, my heat slammed straight down to my feet, leaving me with a massive hole in my chest. It was amazing how I could just be going along doing okay, and then suddenly- wham- I missed her so much even my fingernails hurt."
  4. "I thought I wanted caprice and fir but it turns out that what I really want is someone who will make me up early so I don't miss a sunrise."
  5. "And yes. I'd totally just compared the only guy I'd ever felt this way about to a ham sandwich."

Love & Luck 

Love & Luck follows Lina's best friend. I loved learning more about Addie!

Book Review
  1. "A good friend is like a four-leaf clover. Hard to find lucky to have."
  2. "This time I really let loose. "I AM MY OWN HERO!"
  3. "Labels aren't big enough for people. And once you try and categorize someone, you stop looking at who they actually are."
  4. "Hearts break and open until they stay open. It's what they were made to do. The pain? It's part of the deal. A small exchange for the while, joyful mess you'll be handed in return."
  5. "I know you've got this, but if there's ever a moment when you don't, you got me."

Jenna Evans Welch

        So according to Goodreads, these are the only books that Jenna Evans Welch has written. Also, another thing I noticed is that a book in this series is published every other year, so does that mean we'll be getting book four in 2022? I don't think I can wait that long. And if we are getting a fourth novel (and I hope we are because in just two weeks Jenna has become my favorite author) may I suggest France (Love & Crepes or Love & Macaroons) or maybe Germany (Love & Pretzels, I looked it up, turns out pretzels are a German food!). 

Author Biography

  Besides writing, Jenna Evans Welch loves her kids and making messes in the kitchen. She resides in Utah with her husband and two kids. I got that information from Goodreads.

October Book Haul

 I got so many new books this month I'm excited to read! About half of the books I got were graphic novels because I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately. Act Cool  by Tobly McSmith Act Cool  is a recent release that looks so good!

August is convinced he can play the part his parents want while acting cool and confident in the company of his talented new friends. But who is August when the lights go down?

Fairest of All by Serena Valentino

Image
Page Count: 250 pages (Hardcover) Published: August 18, 2009 My Rating: 4 stars Series: Villians book 1 Genre: Fantasy   While she may seem like a jealous queen after a young girl's beauty, she is so much more. They may have been logic and heartache behind the Queen's attempts on the sweet girl's life. The Queen struggles with her looks and the trauma from her childhood helps her accept the fact that she must become the fairest of them all.    This is definitely my favorite version of Snow White! From the Queen's early days as a child to her last moments, Serena Valentino took this seemingly innocent fairy tale and turned it into something dark and twisted. This is by far the most heartbreaking story of Snow White ever. At the same time, this book has enough plot twists to keep any reader entertained. You'll never believe who the magic mirror really is!      Even though Snow White has never been my favorite, this is definitely a book I would be willi
