Some of my favorite #GirlConqueringBooks are: 
1. Dahlia Adler's Last Will and Testament (Radleigh University #1) - I LOVE the friendships in all of Dahlia's books and I really admire how effortless and genuine they feel. They're never perfect but they're always worthwhile, the way all true friendships are. But of all Dahlia's books, I really love Lizzie, Frankie and Cait from the Radleigh University series (the next two are coming out soon and I've been lucky to get sneak peeks. They are sooooooo good.). They remind me of my favorite friendships IRL. 

2. Emery Lord's Open Road Summer--This book has a huge piece of my heart for a lot of reasons but the friendship between Dee and Reagan is basically my favorite part of the whole book. They support each other, don't take each other for granted, and never push each other to be someone they're not. I love that so so much. 

3. Emily Skrutskie's The Abyss Surrounds Us -- Cas and Swift are my f/f OTP like whooooaaa. They're dangerous, complicated, unsure, determined, and the sexual tension is wilder than the sea. This just came out and it's a fast, fun, twisty read. They're friends AND girlfriends. That makes my heart sing!
For Day #5, we also created a little fun quiz titled WHO WOULD YOU BE BEST FRIENDS WITH? We got a few fun and lovely friendships as the results. We would love for you guys to take the test and tell us who came up as your result! And if you think it's correct and you would get along with them or just plain nope.

Here is the link to take the quiz. Comment down below with your results <3

We want to also give a BIG THANK YOU to our guest authors who took part of this event and all the bloggers/authors who helped us with posts and stuff. Really guys you are simply the best of the best and we're so forever grateful with everything. We love ya and Happy Valentine's Day!

Tomorrow we have a Twitter Chat happening at 7 pm EST and we would be so happy if you show up (if only to say hi!) it's going to be a fun event - talking about book friendships, real-life friendships, cute otps and girls. GIRLS. GIRLS. We hope to see you there!
