The Fill-In Boyfriend (July 2020 BOTM!)

[Becca da, Romance Reader Becca!]

That's so me! I try to actually seem interested in what my friends are talking about, but they don't even care about what I say! I know ALL of my friends birthdays and they don't even remember mine! And that is why I prefer myself for company...lol

[Ruby Rose, Small Blessings Count :)]

Lol, I forget everyone's birthdays... it is terrible. Off to my horse lesson! Have fun everyone!

[Becca da, Romance Reader Becca!]

Have fun too! My sister has riding lessons today too! (I think...)

[Kacie]

ahh I'm so jealous!! i love riding horses so much!!!!!

[Ruby Rose, Small Blessings Count :)]

Thanks I did... but now I have homework... arg.

@Kacie DO YOU RIDE TOO?!

@ Becca I hope your sister had fun!

Also speaking of forgetting birthdays I totally missed a friends birthday yesterday! I am jinxed.

[Becca da, Romance Reader Becca!]

Well then...

[Ruby Rose, Small Blessings Count :)]

Lol, I know I am terrible.

[Kacie]

I don't know if she did, I like hiding myself and reading, lol. Finally, some peace!

Really? I could never go that long without riding. I probably will have to in HS but whatever.

[Kacie]

sigh. I wanna ride so bad. I went with a youth leader but she's not my leader anymore so i can't go with her anymore.

[Ruby Rose, Small Blessings Count :)]

If you look it up I bet you there is opportunity. I pay for my lessons but there are some places in certain areas that you can volunteer for them to get free ride time/a lesson... I have a free ride time one starting this week that my mom found me. She posted it here. Not sure if you have FB but if you do this is a great resource. I got like 8 people who wanted me.

While not there but on a site for my state, but this one should have something if I remember correctly too.

[Kacie]

cool!! I'll look at it. thanks

[Ruby Rose, Small Blessings Count :)]

You might have to ask about a free lease unless you are willing to pay 200 a month but other than that... I hope it helps!

[Kacie]

thanks!

THIS BOOK IS REALLY BOTHERING ME! I hate lying and being in this position, this book is making me cringe.

[Kacie]

I knooooow!!! I just wanna shake her by the shoulders and tell her that all this lying isn't gonna end up well. It's gonna come back and punch her in the face

[Ruby Rose, Small Blessings Count :)]

Yes! I know! I really want to warn her and I keep finding spots that she can tell someone! And I really wish the book would change and make her tell someone sometime! I feel so weird reading this one!

[Kacie]

Yeah. It's frustrating. Books like that drive me crazy. But I still like it

[Sara]

yeah... i didn't really like all the lying. also, if her friends didn't believe her about her bf and thus making her think that she had to lie to them to get them to believe her, that signals to me a weak/toxic friendship

[Becca da, Romance Reader Becca!]

Yup! This book didn't drive me crazy with frustration....it drove me crazy with the fluffiness of it! I can't help it, I. AM. A. HOPELESS. ROMANTIC!!

[Ruby Rose, Small Blessings Count :)]

Lol, me too. Is it just me or does everyone always develop a crush on the main character of a romance novel???

[Becca da, Romance Reader Becca!]

It's not just you, I have a major crush on Hayden (You didn't hear it from me! Shhh!)

[Kacie]

Hayden is mine XD

[Ruby Rose, Small Blessings Count :)]

DARN IT! No but I am serious it is every romance book I read! Even if I hate the book!

[Kacie]

The authors probably do that on purposeXD Part of their evil plan to ensnare readers

[Ruby Rose, Small Blessings Count :)]

I have a feeling it is just me... I have an attachment to book problem I feel like.

[Kacie]

I get waaaaaaaay to attached to book characters. My siblings think I'm insane

[Ruby Rose, Small Blessings Count :)]

Yep. I agree.

[Becca da, Romance Reader Becca!]

I think everyone thinks I'm insane to be honest..

[Ruby Rose, Small Blessings Count :)]

Hahahahaha, that has to be siblings at work... I think that about myself too.

[Sara]

it's also probably a subconscious thing, especially if the book is written in 1st POV because then you experience the romance story through the perspective of the MC and you become the character XD

[Becca da, Romance Reader Becca!]

Yes! XD

[Ruby Rose, Small Blessings Count :)]

I UNDERSTAND MY OBSESSION! (Finally)

[Becca da, Romance Reader Becca!]
