I’m really excited to do this because it’s a bit different from your normal ‘tags’! I was tagged by Simona from Sky's Book Corner, you can check out her answers here! Chocolate book tag? I know, I was confused at first too but the idea of this tag is to match books with certain types of chocolate which really did prove to be a challenge but it was a lot of fun so here we go…

I have chosen Me Before You by Jojo Moyes because it is a brilliantly written and engaging story. The topic is hard but the characters show such determination and have such strong believes that it is impossible not to love their story. I read it shortly after watching the fantastic and moving French film The Intouchables, that also deals with the topic of tetraplegia and living with dignity. And although they have very different endings I think that they are both a must. 

This is a difficult one. But I will have to chose Can You Keep a Secret? by our Chick Lit queen Sophie Kinsella. I think it is probably the book (apart from HP) that I have read more times and every time, I laugh out loud. Funny, witty and heart-warming. 

Right now, I guess it will have to be Divergent by Veronica Roth. Everyone says wonders about it and with the movie in the theatres, everyone is going crazy about it. Although I have the Trilogy in my Kindle, I have been avoiding it because I know that once I start reading it I am going to be so hooked that I won't sleep until I finish the 3 books. So I am waiting for the perfect moment to start... 

From Notting Hill with Love... Actually by Ali McNamara. I read it this year and it instantly became one of my all time favourite books. As a movie enthusiastic and Notting Hill fan, with all the movie scenes and the lovely love story (and one of the best endings of chick lit) this book is the perfect chocolate with a sweet caramel centre!

The Guestbook by Holly Martin was a great surprise. Although I had read a lot of good things about it, I didn't expect it to be so original. Definitely one of a kind! 

The fantastic Waiting For Prince Harry by the lovely Aven Ellis. Great book with such a lovely story. I fell head over heels for Harrison, the main male character. I can't wait to re-read it again. 

I have just realised that I have not included one of my favourite authors: Lindsey Kelk. I love her writing and her books are just like a conforting hot chocolate with Cream and Marshmallows. If I had to choose one, I guess I would go with the first one of the I Heart Series: I Heart New York because Angela already feels like family. But I think I have read all her books at least twice. I can't wait for her new book this summer!

I'll just say two words: HARRY POTTER. 

Now I think that most book blogger have already done this. But there are still some that even if they have been tagged before, they haven't done it yet (I think) so I tag:

Isabell Dreaming with Open Eyes

Sprinkled With Kisses is the latest Cupcake Diaries novel and it tells the story of  Stacey, who after surviving a hurricaine when she was a kid has become a little paranoid about disasters. She goes everywhere with her backpack where she keeps everything you migh need in an emergency. But Stacey is now ready to live a new adventure: she is going to manage Creative Cupcakes' stand on the beach. Hopefully, with no time she is going to earn enough money to pay off her debt and even buy her dream house. What she didn't expect was to like so much the sexy owner of the ice cream truck that is trying to steal all her sales. Can Stacey and Dave work together and become the perfect team or are they going to fight forever? 

This is the first book of the series that I have read but I am certainly going to read more of these books. Darlene Panzera writes a cute summer love story that leaves you with a smile on your face. While I was reading, I could only think on cupackes (yes, I actually baked some chocolate cupcakes to eat while I was reading) and ice creams! Plus there is a recipe on the book that I cannot wait to try. Apart from the love story there are also some subplots like the cupcakes competition. I liked how Stacey evolved through the book and how she became a key member of the cupcakes shop crew. So if you want to enjoy a warm romance with some sweet treats, get this book here:

About the author: 

Aven Ellis has been writing fiction since she was sixteen. She studied communications at a large Midwestern university, and after graduation, Aven worked as a reporter for a community newspaper, followed by a stint at a public relations agency.

But writing about city council meetings and restaurant franchises was not as much fun as writing for young women trying to figure out their careers and potential boyfriends. So Aven got herself a job in television that allowed her to write at night. Connectivity is Aven’s debut novel (a fantastic book too, you can read my review here); Waiting For Prince Harry is out today and Chronicles of a Lincoln Park Fashionista (New Adult romantic comedy) will be published on September.

Aven lives in Dallas with her family. When she is not writing, Aven enjoys shopping, cooking, connecting with friends on social media, and watching any show that features Gordon Ramsay.

I had heart so many good things about this book that I was super excited to read it. And now that I have, I have no words to describe how much I loved and enjoyed it! I actually read it in one sitting because it was impossible to put down. What a great concept for a book: The Guestbook is an actual guestbook for Willow Cottage, a seaside guest house, and the guests are encouraged to write about their lifes and holidays in the book. This way we learn all about the different guests (some regulars and some weird ones as well) but also about Annie, the owner, Sophia, the cleaner, and Olly, a famous writer but also Annie's best friend and her first kiss too. Let's have a look at the cover:

Isn't it gorgeous? Well, going back to the story, I usually enjoy books written from different points of view like The One Plus One by Jojo Moyes or This Charming Man by Marian Keyes, but Holly Martin has gone a step further. Her guestbook is written in such a clever way! Thanks to all the messages from the guests and friends of Annie we can easily follow her story: a story of love, heartbreaks, growing up and making decisions. It is heartwarming and funny and Annie seems like the real deal: nice, welcoming, generous and with a huge heart. She definitely deserves to be happy again!

I really laughed out loud with some of the guests! But they all left their marks on the book and even with a couple of messages you could perfectly picture them. It was really nice to read about the regulars who went back to Willow Cottage a couple of times because you could follow their stories too. In conclusion, this is a brilliant novel, one of a kind! You really are in for a treat! So buy it NOW!
