I Heart Characters #12;A Character I’m Thankful for
“I Heart Characters! is a weekly meme hosted by Dani @ Perspective of a Writer to showcase our book blogger love for characters! Each week she’ll supply a topic and you’ll supply the character. Post on whatever day suits you, about characters from whatever media you love (books, movies, K-dramas, television, manga, anime, webtoons, whatever!) and link up on Thursday so YOU and others can blog hop and share the character love.”

Adele tagged me into this @ Adele Is Reading but it didn’t ping back to me, so I was surprised to see that I was tagged in it after reading her post. I just didn’t have time to post it until now because of blogoween.
Down The TBR Hole #2
Down The TBR Hole was created by Lia @ Lost In A Story. I didn’t have any discussion posts planned for today, so I decided to continue this meme.
“Most of you probably know this feeling, your Goodreads TBR pile keeps growing and growing and it seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. You keep adding, but you add more than you actually read. And then when you’re scrolling through your list, you realize that you have no idea what half the books are about and why you added them. Well that’s going to change!”
It works like this:
- Go to your goodreads to-read shelf.
- Order on ascending date added.
- Take the first 5 (or 10 (or even more!) if you’re feeling adventurous) books. Of course, if you do this weekly, you start where you left off the last time.
- Read the synopses of the books
- Decide: keep it or should it go?

Synopsis:
Never trust a guy in spandex. In Abby Hamilton’s world, superheroes do more than just stop crime and save cats stuck in trees—they also drink milk straight from the carton and hog the television remote. Abby’s older brother moonlights as the famous Red Comet, but without powers of her own, following in his footsteps has never crossed her mind. That is, until the city’s newest vigilante comes bursting into her life. After saving Abby from an attempted mugging, Morriston’s fledgling supervillain Iron Phantom convinces her that he’s not as evil as everyone says, and that their city is under a vicious new threat. As Abby follows him deeper into their city’s darkest secrets, she comes to learn that heroes can’t always be trusted, and sometimes it’s the good guys who wear black.

Synopsis:
She walked into my bakery
and my dough wasn’t the only thing rising… Long legs, a big chest, and perfect, round buns. I’d give anything to roll with her and that adorable muffin top she’s packing. There’s just one problem…and that’s the Irish mob jerk who thinks he owns her. To hell with that. If she’s gonna have a bun in her oven… it’s gonna be mine. He’s a bad boy with a bakery. She’s a BBW with a bar. Muffin Top. It’s a love story… with a twist!
