I love to listen to music to bring me into the mood of a book or story. Currently rewriting my previously published fantasy romance and working on a new Romantasy series that is going to be epic. Do you have more recommendations? Love to discover these <3

5TH WAVE meets NOPE meets ARRIVAL meets INTERSTELLAR

After encountering an alien while dealing with grief, Astra, a runaway, must choose between saving humanity from an alien invasion and reconciling with her dad before it’s too late.

ALT👀
#BluePit #YA #literary #scifi #book
It’s a literary fiction that deals more with grief, father and daughter relationship, coming of age, friendship, existential crises, love, loneliness, and themes like person vs society, person vs person and person vs self. It has the same portrayal of the father and daughter story of INTERSTELLAR, first alien contact of ARRIVAL, suspense and mystery of NOPE and the alien hostility and female high school MC of THE FIFTH WAVE.

We've been at each other's throats for the last year, but I (24F) signed a sex contract with my ex's lifelong BFF (25M). My ex will ruin our lives if he finds out, but I think I'm catching feelings despite the fact his BFF still hates me and is definitely hiding something. AITA?

DARK WATER DAUGHTER X ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART

Sea's a free place for all brave enough t'join her.", sirens in the water, a necklace with tentacle detail, a man with a sword, and a letter with cursive writing.

An agent’s guide to: “Mark of a Magpie” YA Romantic Fantasy 119k Words Behind the text is a piece of parchment paper surrounded by ocean water and gold flower outlines. Blurb: One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Three for a Girl, Four for a Boy… Ryn is a small-town thief with a knack for being overconfident in her abilities, but by day she’s a beloved tavern girl with the liver of steel that carries her reputation. On her most daring break-in yet, she runs face first into the kingdom’s last living assassin, Seven, and he’s just offered her the opportunity of a century: a ticket of attendance to the King’s upcoming courtship gathering. It’s a partnership she’d definitely be a fool to take up, but desperation fuels ever decision she makes. Five for Silver, Six for Gold… Seven is set in his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they won’t be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas. When the castle goes into lockdown, it’s survival of the cunning and silver-tongued. The rich are dropped like flies, and all suspicions are on them. Seven for a Secret, Never to be Told.

Being a “good time, not a long time” guy was going well for Frankie until he meets Diego. At first, he thinks it is the start of his enemies-to-lovers romance - except he doesn't do romance. As they go from friends to roommates to business partners, what could go wrong?
