Today’s TTT is an interesting one. If you’ve been around for a while, you know I tend to go on when I’m writing a review. It’s definitely why I include an Overall Recommendation section on each review for those who obviously would prefer the cliffnotes version of my thoughts.

So to summarize the last 10 books I’ve read in 1 word? That’s a huge feat.

But I shall attempt to do so nonetheless. If I wrote up a review for this book already, I will also link to it for your comparison (or if the one word piqued your interest enough to take a deeper dive).

Let’s start from the last book I’ve read and move on backwards.

It’s almost May and some days, it almost feels like it where I live. My seasonal allergies are also telling me it’s spring and it’s driving me crazy. Living on anti-histamines for the next while. If that’s you as well, give me a shout in the comments below. We can commiserate together.

For this season and reason, I chose to make this week’s TTT topic featuring grass or flowers on the cover. These books remind me of spring and gets me in the mood for relaxing days ahead as summer approaches around the corner.

Let me know if you’ve read any of these or are interested in picking it up!

1. Maybe This Time by Kasie West

One year. Nine events. Nine chances to . . . fall in love?

Weddings. Funerals. Barbecues. New Year’s Eve parties. Name the occasion, and Sophie Evans will be there. Well, she has to be there. Sophie works for the local florist, so she can be found at every big event in her small hometown, arranging bouquets and managing family dramas.

Enter Andrew Hart. The son of the fancy new chef in town, Andrew is suddenly required to attend all the same events as Sophie. Entitled, arrogant, preppy Andrew. Sophie just wants to get her job done and finish up her sketches so she can apply to design school. But every time she turns around, there is Andrew, getting in her way and making her life more complicated. Until one day she wonders if maybe complicated isn’t so bad after all . . .

Told over the course of one year and following Sophie from event to event, this delightful novel from master of romantic comedy Kasie West shows how love can blossom in unexpected places.

This week’s topic was originally “Bookish merchandise I’d love to own” but since I don’t care as much for cute knickknacks, I’ve decided to focus solely on special edition books I’ve seen before and wished to have had the chance to open. You know these things get you because they’re exclusive and super limited in stock.

OwlCrate: White Once Upon a Broken Heart cover

I love the pink exclusive edition from Barnes & Noble/Indigo which I have (and even the original black cover), but there’s something very pleasing about this white version too. But I have a weird thing about buying the same book twice (spacing issues, you know?) so obviously I had to just pick one.
