I am completely in awe of this stunning RENT A BOYFRIEND art by the very talented @fanbookart!! 😍 She captured so many details from the book perfectly. The mooncake points 🥮 ! The sheep getting dressed 🐑!! Drew's moon paintings 🌛 and his Chinese knotting! The pears🍐! I love every single detail!!! Thank you so much for this very special piece, @fanbookart! No words for how much it means!! ♥️♥️♥️ #Repost @fanbookart (@get_repost) ・・・ RENT A BOYFRIEND by Gloria Chao (@gloriacchao) . QOTD: Who are your fave AAPI authors?I've only read this book and American Panda, but Gloria Chao is becoming a fave of mine! I find her books so relatable! And this makes me go, "Girl, I totally get it!" LOL! But anyway, this book is so good and swoony. I also learned more about the Chinese culture and it's so cool seeing them in book! Go read this, and support our AAPI authors! They are awesome! Also, swipe so you can see a time lapse of me inking the fan art! (I apologize for the weird inking... I'm left-handed and the only way I can prop the camera is on the left side too, so it's not as polished... I'll do better next time.) . . . Chloe is not excited visiting her parents for Thanksgiving. She even got to the point where she has to hire a fake boyfriend for them to stop badgering her about her life even though she's gone to college. Drew has been disowned by his parents. And to make a living, he became an "operative" for a company that let's people hire fake boyfriends. But this job is totally different than the other ones... . . . #fanart #rentaboyfriend #gloriachao #bookgram #ilovebooks #bookworm #bookgeek #booknerd #bibliophile #bookishphoto #booktography #bookfanart #doodle #drawing #ya #yalit #yacontemporary #yaromance #ilovereading #aapi #fanartfriday #bookart #booksofinstagram #bookstafeatures #IloveYA #iloveromance #yalover #fanartdrawing #fanartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CNvFf1HLVDI/?igshid=wfqj2hxtgrlv

I love this stunning, cozy photo posted by @fromthelibraryofalexis!!! Thank you so much, Alexis!! 😍💕🌟 #Repost @fromthelibraryofalexis (@get_repost) ・・・ . Happy Monday! I hope you're all having a great start to your week 📚 getting up this morning was hard, and I'm just looking forward for when I can sit down after completing my to-do list to read! . QOTD: tell me about your favorite book trope and a book that does the trope well! . At the moment I'm #currentlyreading "Rent a Boyfriend" by Gloria Chao and I'm loving it! The story focuses on the fake dating trope, which for me is always a favorite 😌. I love the concept of renting a boyfriend for fake dating purposes and this book has been so fun! I'm about 30% into it and looking forward to getting further in! . Then, if you're looking for more books with fake dating here are my recommendations: The Upside of Falling by Alex Light, Fake it Till You Break It by Jenn P. Nguyen, and Adorkable by Cookie O'Gorman! If you pick any of these up let me know so we can chat about them! ❤️ . . . #rentaboyfriend #gloriachao #yacontemporary #fakedating #becauseofreading #bibliophile #bookaddict #bookcommunity #bookgram #bookishlove #booklover #booknerd #booksbooksbooks #booksofig #bookstagrammer #igreads #readingismagic #readersofinstagram #youngadultlit #instaread #bookobsessed #yabooks #booksanddrinks #booksinbed #cozybookstagram #cozybooks #booknook #readingnook https://www.instagram.com/p/CI3prDBAgud/?igshid=3jg1aqs01xh8
