Roses Are Red, Books Are Better Top Ten Tuesday [21]

This week's topic: Love/Valentine’s Freebie

Kissed by an Angel (Kissed by an Angel, #1-3) by Elizabeth Chandler

Evercrossed (Kissed by an Angel, #4) by Elizabeth Chandler

Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust

Legacy of Shadows (Supernaturals of Castle Academy, #1) by Tessa Hale

The Final Target by Nora Roberts

I decided to feature books with a rose on the cover in honor of Valentine’s Day this weekend. All of these are books I’ve read, with the exception of Of Swine and Roses and The Final Target. I do have copies of both, though, and plan on reading them soon!

I feel like the Kissed by an Angel series is really underrated—though that might just be my 10-years-ago self talking. I may need to do a reread to see if present-day me still feels the same. I also really enjoyed both A Long, Long Sleep and You Are Not Here as well. If I remember correctly, You Are Not Here is written in verse.

Have you read any of these books? Let me know! 

Happy reading, lovelies!
