My Top 20 BTS Songs

In late 2020 I fell in love with a song by a Kpop group by the name of BTS. It was their first full English song by the name of 'Dynamite'. By the time their second English song 'Butter' was released in 2021 I was a fan. The more songs I discovered and YouTube content I watched the more I fell in love with not just the group but theirs songs as well as the messages that are behind those songs.

By the time 2021 came to a close I considered myself a member of BTS Army (their fan group) and they were my top artist on Spotify! Not surprising considering my 'BTS Favs' playlist is currently over 8 hours long. 

Anyway I decided it was time that a BTS related post made it onto my blog. So here is my Top 20 BTS songs. This is in order of the songs release date and not my personal preference (that was way too hard to figure out). Next to each song I will be including what album they feature on as well as when they were released.

Blog Tour: He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not by Aimee Brown*

 

'Dax Hartley has made flowers his entire life, just like his late father did.

When his dad's old florist’s shop is up for sale, he has to have it. Only problem is, he'd need to sell a kidney to afford it. The reality show Battle of the Blossoms is the perfect opportunity to win the money he needs, but when his childhood crush blows back into his life, distractions risk taking his eyes off the prize. He needs his head and heart to start working together to ensure he doesn't miss the opportunity of a lifetime.

Hollyn Matthews has made some colossal mistakes in life.

When she's dumped just as she's expecting an engagement ring, she knows she's put her heart into the wrong man. Hoping for a second chance at being a grown-up, she moves home to stay with her brother and his best friend Dax, a boy whose memory faded as she ran away from her past. Facing the hurt she left behind means facing some home truths about herself, but there’s one boy who has always loved her, if only she’d take the time to notice him.'

This is the story of Hollyn and Dax, which is told over the course of 33 Chapters as well as an epilogue. The main theme of this book is a twist on brothers best friend. The twist is in the sense that in this particular story it is the brothers best friend who originally has feelings. 

Hollyn is a very lovely character who at times can be naïve and gullible. However as the story progress readers will watch Hollyn's confidence grow and realise that it was less gullible and more gas lighting in this case. 

Dax on the other hand is a very kind and caring gentleman. When he was growing up he was a nerd however he did his fair share of growing up and grew up into a fine man. Yes I mean fine when it comes to looks as well as personality. 

Throughout this book the point of view switches between the main characters. This switch is done in a way that readers will not be confused as to whose head they are currently. These point of view switches allow readers to get a clear picture of who is feeling what.  As well as point of view switches there are also time jumps. Now these aren't long time jumps but they do help to keep the story moving along. 

Now let me tell you about the author Aimee Brown, who is a bestselling romantic comedy author of several books including The Lucky dress. An Oregon native, who now lives in a tiny town in cold Montana and sets her books in Portland. She was previously published by Aria, and her new series for Boldwood is full of love and laughter and real-life issues. The first book will be published in January 2023.

Overall this book is very easy to fall in love with. Readers interests will be piqued after the first chapter and they will love watching this pair turn their forgotten friendship into something more as they grow closer. You can get your copy HERE

Until Next Time
