Here is a video of my bookmail yesterday - Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston and The Stationery Shop by Marjan Kamali. I can't help but adore these gems especially the book cover of The Stationery Shop is beautiful!

Red, White and Royal Blue is all over Booktok (tiktok in which the contents are mainly about books) and my Bookstagram feed. I have also read great reviews about it and the premise of this book is really good. Moreover, it's ENEMIES TO LOVERS and represents LGBTQIA+ Community. Now tell me, if you were me would you not be tempted to pick up this book?😆

Synopsis from Goodreads:

First Son Alex Claremont - Diaz is the closest thing to a prince this of the Atlantic. With his intrepid sister and the Veep's genius granddaughter, they're the White House Trio, a beautiful millennial marketing strategy for his mother, President Ellen Claremont. International socialite duties do have downsides - namely, when photos of a confrontation with his longtime nemesis Prince Henry at a royal wedding leak to the tabloids and threaten American/British relations. The plan for damage control: staging a fake friendship between the First Son and the Prince.

As President Claremont kicks off her reelection bid, Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret relationship with Henry that could derail the campaign and upend two nations. What is worth the sacrifice? How do you do all the good you can do? And, most importantly, how will history remember you?

The Stationery Shop is recommended by my favorite Booktuber (a videoblogger who makes contents about books in YouTube) and when she reviewed and talked what the book is all about I really think that it suits my taste and the genre of the book is Romance, Historical Fiction and Domestic Fiction as well which I find very interesting to delve into.

 Synopsis from Simon & Schuster

Roya, a dreamy, idealistic teenager living amid the political upheaval of 1953 Tehran, finds a literary oasis in kindly Mr. Fakhri's neighborhood stationery shop, stocked with books and pens and bottles of jewel-colored ink.

Then Mr. Fakhri, with a keen instinct for a budding romance, introduces Roya to his other favorite customer - handsome Bahman, who has a burning passion for justice and love for Rumi's poetry - and she loses her heart at once. Their romance blossoms, and the little stationery shop  remains their favorite place in all of Tehran.

A few short months later, on the eve of their marriage, Roya agrees to meet Bahman at the town square when violence erupts - a result of the coup d'etat that forever changes their country's future. In the chaos, Bahman never shows. For weeks, Roya tries desperately to contact him, but her efforts are fruitless. With a sorrowful heart, she moves on - to college in California, to another man, to a life in New England - until, more than sixty years later, an accident of fate leads her back to Bahman and offers her a chance to ask him questions that have haunted her for more than half a century: Why did you leave? Where did you go? How is it that you were able to forget me?
