So yes, it has painful moments, but it's also beautiful, lovely and uplifting, and Nathan is easily the sunniest, loveliest character I've read about this year - or ever, tbh. <br /><br />I'll Meet You There is INCREDIBLE, but I understand being scared of the hype. I need to read The Arsonist - my friends sent my an ARC from YALC, and it's my biggest shame that I never got to it despite loving the author's debut. <br /><br />Hope you'll love all these books, Sam!Veronika @ Wordy and Whimsicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06813427718618609226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-85017030251179152652019-09-13T04:21:04.562-04:002019-09-13T04:21:04.562-04:00Ah yes, the pressure of reading books people tell ...Ah yes, the pressure of reading books people tell you to read. I always say I might read them soon because they do sound interesting but at the same time I'm worried I won't like it especially if that book is a favorite of the person who told me to read it.<br /><br />I don't really have any book I'm avoiding in my TBR anymore but I'm taking my time not reading Lord of Shadows and Queen of Air and Darkness not because I'm avoiding them but because I don't have the energy to read that many pages yet.
