If I had Samwise Gamgee in my apocalypse squad, I feel like every time I’d look at him the potatoes song remix would start playing in my head and it’d be funny as hell at first but perhaps a headache later on. I guess that’s the trade off for his other soft skills LOL.
Cheers,
Joey via. thoughts and afterthoughts.
Haha lol
OOH I was thinking “hmmmmmm maybe Tessa” to be my book BFF too!! 😀 Because Tessa’s so bookish, and pretty witty, she would be awesome as a BFF! 🙂
Hope you’re enjoying LoveAThon!
Geraldine @ Corralling Books
God I love her. Hope you’re enjoying too 🙂
Middle Earth can definitely vouch for the benefits of having Sam Gamgee on your apocalypse team!
Exactly!
Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda was so good! I read it a few weeks ago. Nice to meet you!
Krystianna @ Downright Dystopian
Oh it’s been on my list like forever! Nice to meet you too 🙂
I love that your photo is you collapsed under Queen of Shadows! That’s almost exactly how I felt after I read that book because it hit me so hard in the feels. So yay for meeting another Sarah J. Maas fan ❤ Happy love-a-thon, and I hope you enjoy!
Haha yeah it took a while to recover. And yay! *high fives and hugs*
Hello! Love-A-Thon hopping. Simon Vs. was brilliant. 🙂
Hi! I’ve heard, can’t wait to read it 🙂
