Hi guys, Its been soo long since my last post!!! I'm really excited about this post because: I love talking about books and I love this book in particular.

So, If you're my follower on my Instagram or from my other blog (Portuguese one) you know that I can't live without Colleen's books anymore! They're a big part of my life and let's not talk about her writing... I could be here all day.

It's really sad that here in Portugal they only have a few books from her, so I have to buy them online, but let me be realistic, they are cheaper if I order them online than if I brought them here! And the good part of buying them online is that I'm able to buy them on their release day. How cool is that??

Now let's talk about serious things.

This new book by Colleen Hoover is so full of emotions, and let's not talk about the cover! It's beautiful ( but they all have beautiful covers, it's hard to choose my favorite).

But now a trick question: Which Colleen's books didn't make you cry?

Answer: It's impossible to read her books without tearing a single tear!

Am I wrong?

All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover

Title: All Your Perfects

Author: Colleen Hoover

Year of release: 2018

Sinopse: Colleen Hoover delivers a tour de force novel about a troubled marriage and the one old forgotten promise that might be able to save it.

Quinn and Graham’s perfect love is threatened by their imperfect marriage. The memories, mistakes, and secrets that they have built up over the years are now tearing them apart. The one thing that could save them might also be the very thing that pushes their marriage beyond the point of repair.

All Your Perfects is a profound novel about a damaged couple whose potential future hinges on promises made in the past. This is a heartbreaking page-turner that asks: Can a resounding love with a perfect beginning survive a lifetime between two imperfect people?

It's been a long time since I read a really good book, and this one I really loved, the history between Quinn an Graham is so beautiful from the beginning until the end. I couldn't stop reading. It's the kind of books that you don't want it to end.

Also, Graham is such a beautiful person, I also fell in love with him. How couldn't I? I need to find someone like him!!!!

This book also shows us how the fault of communication between couples lead to unfortunate invents, it has a strong message, that we can make our lives worth living and happy with what life gives us.

Here are some quotes that will make you fall in love with the book before you even read / or to make you cry again if you already read

“What's the secret to a perfect marriage?' The old man leaned forward and looked at me very seriously. 'Our marriage hasn't been perfect. No marriage is perfect. There were times when she gave up on us. There were even more times when I gave up on us. The secret to our longevity is that we never gave up at the same time.”
― Colleen Hoover, All Your Perfects

“We’re all full of flaws. Hundreds of them. They’re like tiny holes all over our skin. And like your fortune said, sometimes we shine too much light on our own flaws. But there are some people who try to ignore their own flaws by shining light on other people’s to the point that the other person’s flaws become their only focus. They pick at them, little by little, until they rip wide open and that’s all we become to them. One giant, gaping flaw.”
― Colleen Hoover, All Your Perfects

“And I promise . . . I swear . . . that if you choose to end things between us, I will love you more as you’re walking out the door than on the day you walked down the aisle. I hope you choose the road that will make you the happiest. Even if it’s not a choice I’ll love, I will still always love you. Whether I’m a part of your life or not. You deserve happiness more than anyone I know. I love you.”
― Colleen Hoover, All Your Perfects

The self-publishing revolution has made it possible for anyone with the desire to publish to do so. Whether you’re interested in publishing a non-fiction how-to manual or a three hundred page epic fantasy novel, the considerations before doing so are the same.

What do you need to know before you publish?

1. Are you really ready to publish? The first thing that any author should have before preparing to publish is a manuscript that is ready for the next step. The manuscript should be complete, and you should have self-edited it to the best of your ability. Does it make sense? Does it have a beginning, a middle, and an end? Does it convey the information or story that you intended it to?

2. Find a beta reader. This is a person(s) who is NOT a family member or a friend, who regularly reads in the genre or works in the area you are writing about. This person should return your manuscript with constructive, useful criticisms that can make your story/information better. They do not edit for grammar, spelling, and syntax generally, but good ones can point out issues in these areas as well.

3. Once you’ve collected your manuscript from the betas and have revised according to the feedback you feel is appropriate, the next step is to hire a professional editor to edit it. There are many different types of editors. Content editors will edit for story structure, character and world development, and plot holes, as well as story consistency. A copy editor will edit for spelling, grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and passive voice. A proofreader will edit for typos, grammar, and spelling. It is possible to hire an editor to do all three steps, or you can hire one or all of the steps separately. When searching for an editor, remember to research their work, talk to previous clients and work within your budget. Finding a student at the local university who is studying in these areas can also be a good way to get copy and proofreading services. Content edits should be performed by someone familiar with the process, and with the genre you write in.

4. Once you have an edited manuscript, it’s time to do my favorite part! Hire a professional, affordable cover artist. If a custom cover is outside your budge there are hundreds of premade cover sales sites where the artists post general covers and will make standard changes to add your title, author name etc. Remember to research covers on the bestselling books in your genre to get an idea of what style of cover is selling best right now. You don’t always have to follow suit, but the research is good.

5. Hire a formatter, or take a class to learn to format your own manuscripts. Easy to read formatting is a must for reading on digital devices.

6. Join groups and start reading books that give you ideas how to market your book within your budget.

7. Begin building a platform on social media. Interact with potential readers and get them excited about your upcoming release.

8. Publish. You may choose to publish through Amazon exclusively or to publish on all the platforms like Google Play, Kobo and Barnes, and Noble. There are many arguments for and against each choice, so doing your research is the best way to make an informed decision.

As with any entrepreneurial enterprise, publishing will require time, effort and energy to make it successful. There is a significant amount of luck involved with publishing a book that becomes instantly popular, and it requires things like hitting the market at the right time, having exactly what readers and looking for, and getting word of mouth quickly. For most authors, the publishing game is a long and tireless effort. It takes decades, and many books, to build a readership that can propel you to financial success. However, by following the general steps above, you can be ahead of the game and make your book shine.
