Happy Tuesday!<\/p>\n

Top Ten Tuesday<\/a>\u00a0is a Bookish Meme hosted by\u00a0That Artsy Reader Girl<\/a>, and this week’s theme is BOOKS I WISH I COULD READ AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME!<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Happy Tuesday! I’ve thought a bunch about this week’s topic, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t want to read any<\/strong> books again for the first time. The first time I read a book, I’m getting used to the characters and the world and the way the author writes the story. Whereas when I reread a book, I already know the characters, the world, the writing style. It may have been a while since I read it, but it’s familiar. It’s comforting. I much prefer rereading books to reading them for the first time.<\/p>\n

On that note, I will not be doing the exact theme this week (shocking, I know!). Instead, I’m going to list my TOP TEN BOOKS I CAN’T WAIT TO REREAD!<\/strong> I’ve done a couple of posts about rereading books before (1<\/a>, 2<\/a>), so today I’m trying to not do any repeats.<\/p>\n

Okay! And now without any further ado, here’s this week’s Top Ten Tuesday!<\/p>\n

One small fandom convention. One teen beauty pageant. One meet cute waiting to happen.<\/b>
\nUp and coming fanfic author Kaylee Beaumont is internally screaming at the chance to finally meet her fandom friends in real life and spend a weekend at GreatCon. She also has a side quest for the weekend:
\n\u2022 Try out they\/them pronouns to see how it feels
\n\u2022 Wear more masculine-presenting cosplay
\n\u2022 Kiss a girl for the first time
\nIt\u2019s\u2026 a lot, and Kay mostly wants to lie face down on the hotel floor. Especially when her hometown bully, Miss North Carolina, shows up in the very same hotel. But there\u2019s this con-sponsored publishing contest, and the chance to meet her fandom idols\u2026 and then, there\u2019s Teagan.
\nPageant queen Teagan Miller (Miss Virginia) has her eye on the much-needed prize: the $25,000 scholarship awarded to the winner of the Miss Cosmic Teen USA pageant. She also has secrets:
\n\u2022 She loves the dresses but hates the tiaras
\n\u2022 She\u2019s a giant nerd for everything GreatCon
\n\u2022 She\u2019s gay af
\nIf Teagan can just keep herself wrapped up tight for one more weekend, she can claim the scholarship and go off to college out and proud. If she\u2019s caught, she could lose everything she\u2019s worked for. If her rival, Miss North Carolina, has anything to do with it, that\u2019s exactly how it\u2019ll go down.
\nWhen Teagan and Kay bump into one another the first night, sparks fly. Their connection is intense\u2014as is their shared enemy. If they\u2019re spotted, the safe space of the con will be shattered, and all their secrets will follow them home. The risks are great\u2026 but could the reward of embracing their true selves be worth it?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
