Recently, I've read Beth's (from theBooks Nest) post about how she reads and I thought I would be nice to do one as well. The problem is... I've never really thought about my reading routine (I didn't even knew if I had one in the first place). So, it took me some time to actually come up with this post (but I promise that every thing in here is pretty accurate).
Anyway, without further ado, here's my reading routine!

Since Build Me Up Buttercup is meant to be a book blog in which I mostly post book reviews, I thought it'd be nice to share my rating system. Once upon a time (read: some months ago) I used to give stars inconsistently, depending on how I "felt" after finishing the book and, after realizing that's quite a subjective criteria I decided to come up with a more coherent and logical rating system. Anyway, here it is.
First of all, I want to establish right away that I'm not a trained professional of any kind and this post is intended to be fun and chill and maybe (just maybe) a little helpful and #relatable. That being said, let's carry on with the actual post.
Title: Red, White & Royal Blue Author: Casey McQuiston Genre: Young Adult, LGBTQ Pages: 432 Rating: ★★★★/.5 Synopsis: "A big-hearted romantic comedy in which First Son Alex falls in love with Prince Henry of Wales after an incident of international proportions forces them to pretend to be best friends... First Son Alex Claremont-Diaz is the closest thing to a prince this side of the Atlantic. With his intrepid sister and the Veep’s genius granddaughter, they’re the White House Trio, a beautiful millennial marketing strategy for his mother, President Ellen Claremont. International socialite duties do have downsides—namely, when photos of a confrontation with his longtime nemesis Prince Henry at a royal wedding leak to the tabloids and threaten American/British relations. The plan for damage control: staging a fake friendship between the First Son and the Prince. Alex is busy enough handling his mother’s bloodthirsty opponents and his own political ambitions without an uptight royal slowing him down. But beneath Henry’s Prince Charming veneer, there’s a soft-hearted eccentric with a dry sense of humor and more than one ghost haunting him. As President Claremont kicks off her reelection bid, Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret relationship with Henry that could derail the campaign and upend two nations. And Henry throws everything into question for Alex, an impulsive, charming guy who thought he knew everything: What is worth the sacrifice? How do you do all the good you can do? And, most importantly, how will history remember you?" |
