Top Ten Tue s day is a weekly feature at The Broke and the Book ish . This week's theme: All About Romance Tropes! Happy Valentine 's Day!

I love love stories wher e the characters are f riends first, so these are some of my favorite books where that happens! Wing and Aaron from THE HEARTBEATS OF WING JONES by Katherine Webber: I'm currently in the middle o f reading this book for the second time in the span of a week, which should show you how much I lov e it.

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature at The Broke and the Bookish. This week's theme: Top Ten Books You Wouldn't Mind Santa Leaving Under Your Tree (with a slight alteration). I'm probably one of the easiest people to shop for. If you have the link to my Goodreads, you're basically guaranteed to get me something I'll like. (And even if you don't, I'm really not hard to please.) But, of course, there are some books that I'm more excited for than others. Here are ten that I would be absolutely thrilled to get as gifts this year. GEMINA by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff: The more I think about how great this book is going to be, the more I want it.

And while a lot of that is connected with Christmas, there's anot her holiday around this time that doesn't get as much attention.

If I see Santa everywhere for two months, I want to start seeing a few more menorahs. Especially since this year, the timing is perfect - the first night of Chanukah is also Chris tmas Eve! So, after seeing a lot of Christmas spirit in the book blogging community, I decided to add some Chanukah into the mix with a book tag!
