Millie Reads a Bit

 Hi everyone, today I'm going to be talking about how to get cheap (or free!) books. There are a couple of different ways of going about this, and I'm going to hop into a few of them.  1. The Library First, and foremost, my number one tip for getting free books is obviously the library. Library cards are almost always free, and it's a great way of getting free books The downside is that you only have a few weeks to read the books you get, and you don't get to keep them. On the other hand, if you've really been wanting to read a certain book but don't have the money at the moment, the library is a great choice. I know that some people don't prefer library books, but I personally love the library.  2. Libby Libby is an Overdrive app that links to your library card, and allows you to check out free audio or ebooks. Since it's linked to your library, you can't get every book in existence, but I've heard that it usually has a pretty good selection. It...

 Hey everyone, today I'm going to be talking about things I love seeing in books! I saw this done all over YouTube and BookTok, and thought it would be cool to try. So, I'm basically going to be talking about things that I absolutely adore when I see it happen in a book, and giving two books with that thing. With all that out of the way, let's get into it! Friends to Lovers I feel like this doesn't require much of an explanation, basically just when the love interests start off as friends and then it turns into a romance. I know a lot of people really like enemies to lovers, but I'm a much bigger fan of friends to lovers, especially if it's a slow burn, since I hate enemies to lovers slowburns.  Friends-Lovers Books: I Wish You All the Best by Mason Deaver Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe  by Benjamin Alire Saenz Unique Formats I love being able to read books quickly, and when a book has a mixed media format, that's just made so much ...

 I don't know about you guys, but one of my favorite things in books is when it makes me cry. Over the years of reading sad books, I've become almost desensitized to sadness in books, so getting me to cry is no easy feat. With that being said, here are some of the books that made me SOB (side note- all of these books were also 5 stars!) The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid I'm sure you've all heard about The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo , but let me just repeat what everyone else said: THIS BOOK WAS FANTASTIC!!! It's told from the point of view of formed Hollywood star Evelyn Hugo from the 1950s to the 80s. It had a bit of a mystery about it, and some of the lines just killed me. My absolute favorite part, though, was the dresses. If you know me, you know that my favorite thing in the World is pretty dresses in books, and this book did not disappoint. I didn't expect to cry given how hyped up it was, and yet I did. Please, just go read it, ...
