The third post for the Book Blogger Love-a-Thon hosted by Alexa Loves Books is a Book Valentine. We were to “Create a valentine for your favorite book guy or gal. You can write a letter, share a playlist, draw something, shop for gifts – whatever way you feel like expressing your love, go for it!”
So I’ve decided to go with Cricket Bell. I know you are all shocked. I never talk about how much I am in love with him or the fact that he’s my dream guy. Oh wait. Yes, I do. All the time. Whatever. 🙂 He’s sweet, awkward, charming, smart, funny, and I would totally have to find a way to get Lola out of the picture if he was real. I wasn’t sure how to go about this challenge though. So I’m sharing two songs that I think are super romantic and sweet. These are “our songs” – because, you know, Cricket actually is my boyfriend and we have songs that we call “ours”. Haha.
The first is Eric Hutchinson’s “Love Like You” – I LOVE the chorus:
I’ve been waiting for a love like you
I’ve been waiting for a love like you
I’ve been waiting for a love like you tonightSo let me catch fire and blow off steam
This is a crash landing, we’re living the dream
We can freak out if you know what I mean
We can go where we go where the love’s supreme
I said ooo baby, it’s Russian roulette
I said ooo baby, I’ll never forget
What you did for me now, how you’re making me feel
And I’ve been waiting for a love that is finally real
Swoon.
The next song is Ed Sheeran’s Thinking Out Loud. I don’t know if you guys have seen the video, but it’s beautiful and super romantic. I don’t even like Ed Sheeran, and I like this song.
But, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
Thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
In other words, I LOVE YOU, CRICKET BELL.
Who’s your bookish valentine?
I love Cricket! Excellent choice! Those songs sound great! I think they are wonderful picks! I love your valentine! Great post! 😀

🙂 Thanks! I love Cricket too. He’s so great!
I feel like Thinking Out Loud would be such a Cricket Bell song! Love that you chose that as part of your Valentine post 🙂

I love Cricket too! Ed Sheeran is one of my favorites and this song is super cute.
I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to NOT love Cricket. He’s just so wonderful.
Aww. I haven’t read Lola yet! I need to meet Cricket! I loved Anna, so I definitely want to read more from Perkins! I love both Eric Hutchinson and Ed Sheeran! Great choice in songs!
Cricket is my absolute favorite of the three boys. He’s wonderful and you definitely do need to meet him soon!
Yay for Eric fans! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, Jessica. ❤
Love your songs! And if you need help getting Lola out of the picture, let me know 😉
Bahaha. Yes. I might enlist you to assist in my pursuit of Cricket soon. 🙂
Featuring your songs for your Valentine is perfect! So funny about getting Lola out of the picture…now that would be an interesting post! LOL.
Bahaha. I LOVE Lola. I think we’d be BFFs in real life, but I am head over heels for Cricket and…yeah. I don’t know what would happen. Lol.
High five for Stephanie Perkins and the boys she writes about!
