The Innocent Smiley: Have A Phone? Love Apps? These Book Recs Are For You!

Have A Phone? Love Apps? These Book Recs Are For You!

Hi. I've been meaning to come up with a post that isn't a review or a wrap up. And this is what Rashika came up with. I don't know why she forced me to write up HER idea, but it was forced. I'm sure she'll steal it back once she has the time. So credits to that potato.

I'm currently read Unplugged by Donna Freitas, and the premise of the story is that us humans are living in a virtual reality! In this virtual world, there are a ton of apps you can buy to modify your appearance, play a game, download food, etc. With that in mind, I want to introduce the apps that I either use on my own phone or are popular, and recommend books that go with them!

(I would also like to dedicate this post to my old Samsung Galaxy S4, now in a box being shipped back to Verizon. You will be missed.)

The Period Tracker/Front Lines made me laugh. I WILL NEVER SEE THAT BOOK THE SAME AGAIN!

I love this Val! I'm just finishing off my current read and about to start Furthermore, I'm so excited I could pee myself ten ways to Sunday! Period tracker :D you're not wrong there. Loved the book but pretty sure periods don't stop when you're fighting a war.

Rashika has amazing ideas. She should organise everyones posts tbh.

Okay, this is AMAZING. Genius idea and genius follow through on your part, Val. I love this so much. =)
I already wanted to read Kill The Boy Band but since you paired it with Spotify (my favorite music app ever) I might have to move it up on my TBR. Twitter is a perfect match for Gena/Finn! Furthermore looks so preeeety. Also, bonus points for pairing a book with period tracker, I laughed so hard over that one! Thumbs up. =D
