TTT: Let's Celebrate Love My Way!


Hey bookish friends, it has been a million years since I got off my butt and whipped up one these listacles, spun it all around and spit out some weirdness. I know that's why you love me, right?  ♥  Today's prompt is: Love Freebie and because I am me, I am throwing a different kind of love your way. Love that's difficult, strange, imperfect and always true. Because that's the best kind of love! Hold on to your hearts because I am going to squish them and rub my hands together in glee while I do it!

My Favorite *ahem* "Love" Stories 




Is there anyone more in love with love than our favorite stalker, Joe?! I mean, COME ON! That book loving man is the sexiest narcissistic lover ever created. 



Speaking of Joe, here he is again! Still totally and completely in love with Love. I absolutely cannot wait until his next adventure is released. This is a series that I will follow anywhere.



I am an absolute sucker for unconditional love. Love that overcomes all obstacles. Love that is earned. This isn't a typical love story - well, I suppose none of these are - but I love it for that. It's horrible and bloody and tragic and painful and such fucking romantic perfection. Have I told you how much I love this book?!



Love that transcends death? Now that's true love! This is a fun one but only if you are a truly warped weirdo. Read it if you're up for it but don't come back and blame me when you do!


You Get Me "Love" Stories 




Two weirdos meet, take an impulsive road trip and fall madly, impossibly, crazily in love. Whoever says love doesn't exist hasn't read this book. Bonus: It is a sap free, sarcasm filled story. My favorite kind!



Everyone deserves a soulmate who accepts them for the true person they are - even if they are a MURDERESS!



More soulmates finding love. Never you mind that blood splatter on the cover. There is nothing more romantic than true love mixed with a little blood and body parts! *sigh* And yes, I will die on this here hill!


Devastating Love




This romance fits the definition of devastating and I will always love it. Whoever says romances are nothing but shit haven't read this book. That is all I have to say. And this is another hill I will die on.



This book. OMG, this book. It nearly broke me and you should all read it if you haven't already.



I can't even with this one. Read the book. See the film. Go cry into your pillow for a month or two or maybe six. I am clearly still not over it but I will go back for more very, very soon because it gets into your blood and refuses to leave and I love torturing myself.



And while I'm here may I mention some of my most favorite epic film/tv romances that you shouldn't miss? No?! Well, I'm gonna do it anyway.

Near Dark:  Caleb & Mae. A sexy, sweet romance and a violent vampire film that wraps up in under two hours. I wrote a little love story for it on this blog right here.



Wild At Heart:  Lula & Sailor - ahhh, these two. These two are full of passion and sizzle on the screen. I love their crazy love.



Shameless:  Ian & Mickey 10 (going on 11) seasons of lust, sass, pain and a devastating love that will shatter all of your feelings into dust and make you believe in the ever-lasting power of true love that beats all the odds.



If you have any recommendations for me, please share them in the comments! I'm always up for having my heart stomped upon.

    I knew I could count on you to do this topic right! I'm telling you - Joe is addictive. I adored the Season 1 of YOU and immediately picked up the book and fell in love with it too! I still need to read Hidden Bodies even though I already watched Season 2. I don't think it hurts that they cast a perfect Joe for the series. I feel kind of bad liking him - nahhh. I also really like the movie Near Dark. Great to see it here on the list. And 11/22/63 is an awesome book!

    Love and Chuckles are not compatible I think! I figured you might put a horror spin on the topic!

    So fun! I'm all for Joe myself. My family already thinks I'm a bit odd for loving horror. What would they think if I loved a serial killer. LOL

      I love them so much. I recently re-watched it and the chemistry is off the charts.

      Joe is irresistible in the most unhealthy sort of way.

Got My Eye On (8)

I saw a post over at  Mailbox Monday  that was encouraging readers to share their best finds of the week via their  Books That Caught Our Eye  posts.

Tackling the TBR List in 2018: Time to Vote!

I tried this meme last year and though it was incredibly fun I never revisited it because I spent the rest of the year breaking my promises to myself and reading ARC's and review copies instead of my TBR pile.I hope to change it this year and read at least one book a month from the TBR stacks. Michelle @  Because Reading  created and hosts the meme. Here they are, three actual books randomly plucked from one of my piles. Perfect for the Valentines season, right?!  Please feel free to let me know if any of these are not worth reading! I am determined to learn how to DNF properly. The Books              I actually picked these out for a Twitter post in January and meant to do the meme then because the Twitter-verse wasn't interested in my tbr pile. I did have one vote for Blood Rubies & In Cold Blood.  Click Cover for More About the Books             ...
