Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018!
Hey, friends! Today’s actual topic is “Platonic Relationships In Books” which you all know I’m always here for healthy friendships filled with unconditional love. But lately I’ve been in such a romance mood! So, I decided to tweak this week’s prompt a little and let you all know the top ten ships I’ve fallen in love with this year! And I even have them ranked in order from least favorite favorite to most favorite favorite! (And obviously, platonic relationships are just as important as romantic relationships! Your girl is just on the thirsty side this Tuesday!) 💖

Tam & Cura
➽ The Heart Forger (The Bone Witch #2) by Rin Chupeco

Girls of Paper and Fire sounds so good!!! I hear nothing but praise! The Kiss Quotient seems really adorable and interesting…I think I need to bump it up higher on my tbr list. I’ve been feeling the fantasy vibe recently with reading though (which is great since I lost the desire to read that genre for a while), so it may have to wait a TAD longer.
