Alex&Eliza: A Love Story by Melissa De La Cruz(review). Spoilers

This was a great book that was a fictional imagination of the events that happened. It was the kind of book that was written in a way that you could feel like it was happening. It starts with Eliza and Alex meeting when they're younger at a party that her mother has and they dance. A time jump happens, and as Eliza is going to spend the winter with her aunt and uncle her carriage breaks down, and Alexander gives her a ride to Morristown NJ. As she is recovering Alex comes to see her. Eliza gets promised to Henry Livingston, a family friend, and brother of her best friend Kitty. Angelica also elopes with John Chruch, and Peggy is in love with their cousin.

Alex as Washington's Adi DeCamp has been gone for a while, and when he finds out that Eliza has been away for a while, and it does not go well when he comes back and sees that Eliza is now engaged. When Alex comes back on the night of Henry's engagement party there is an altercation between him and him which Eliza gets in the middle of. Alex goes to Albany where the Schuyler family lives, and he is not sure how gets there but he tells them what happened. Next, they go to Morristown where Eliza is, and Alex proposes to her and her parents are there. They get married, and they have a happy ending. For years Alex has loved Eliza, and now he has his happily ever after with her

Top Ten Tuesday- Holiday / Seasonal Freebie- Memorable characters of 2020

Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we book bloggers will post a reply to the topic. This week, it's a seasonal / winter freebie. I kind of went rogue in a way. In the winter you see the end of the year best-of lists, and that's exactly what I did with this post. You will find subsections to indicate the genre each book is in. YA Contemporary 1- Pepper from Tweet Cute by Emma Lord Tweet Cute was a novel I read in September. I fell hard for the major character, Pepper. She was so sweet, and she wanted so much to lice her own life. As a bonus, she baked, and I seem to really love characters who bake. Pepper made this list because she wanted to live her own life for her, and I really admire that quality in a person. 2- Sophie from 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston I’m in the middle of this book right now, but I ...

Top Ten Tuesday- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at thatartsyreadergirl . Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion, and discuss how that relates to me as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand, am an introverted creative bookworm. ...

Top Ten Tuesday - Top Ten Historical

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! Our Host is Jana @thatartsyreadergirl . Every week, readers gather and respond to the topic of the week. This week, we are talking about Top Ten Books in our favorite genre. I love The Classics, YA of all kinds minus Horror and Mystery, and Historical. I choose Historical as I talk about Classics and YA a lot on this blog. These are in no order, just as they came to me. 1- Romanov by Nadine Brandes I read this Anastasia retelling in nineteen days when it came out. I loved this book so much! About half the novel was the Romanov’s in exile, and their life in a house where they couldn’t do that much. As the story progresses, we see that Nastya is a spell master, so this is how Fantasy is sprinkled in with the Historical Fiction to tell a new story. I loved all aspects of this novel, even the ones that were sad, and almost caused me to throw this book across the room. I will review this book later on this month. I recommend this for any...
