The book choice for Stephen Curry’s book club wi The book choice for Stephen Curry’s book club with @literati this month is Beasts of Prey by Ayana Gray! I was thrilled to get my hands on this book I have been anticipating it ever since I heard about it a couple of months ago!! 📚 I haven’t started it yet, so I’m obviously behind 💀 but I am planning on beginning tomorrow. 📚 It is reading weather so I am ready to get lost in a fantasy story! It rained all day today it was wonderful! 🌧 #bookstagram #beastsofprey #bookclub #fantasybooks #bibliophile

Some classic Hallmark romances, some cozy fantasy, and some contemporary YA! I’m so excited to read my TBR books! 📚 What do you have on your TBR for the month of December? 📚 #bookish #christmasbooks #christmasbookstagram #dashandlily #romancebooks
As the weather drops, my love for dark academia ri As the weather drops, my love for dark academia rises. There is something about the fall and winter weather that makes me want to read about windy college campuses and dramatic characters. 📚 Two of my favorite books are Ninth House and The Starless Sea. The writing and characters in these two series are amazing and enchanting. Definitely recommend! 📚 My family decorated the Christmas tree today! I love how warm and inviting my home looks during the holiday months. Nothing compares! 📚 #bookstagram #ninthhouse #whitesweater #darkacademiabooks #darkacademiafashion
As excited as I am for the holiday season, I will As excited as I am for the holiday season, I will say… I do love my pumpkin scented candles. I used to hate gourmand scents, but my palette has changed. I will burn my pumpkin pecan waffle candles any day! 📚 I read The Poppy War a couple of months ago and I get it. I understand why this book was so hyped up. I was completely drawn in by the characters and story, Kuang did an incredible job with this debut. Definitely a 5/5 Star read! 📚 #bookish #thepoppywar #fantasybooks #bookworm #epicreads
Fall is coming to a close! Is anyone else excited Fall is coming to a close! Is anyone else excited for Christmas?? I know I am! 📚 I haven’t been reading a lot this month. I have had some burn-out after Blogtober last month. But I want to find a good book to get me out of this slump! Any recommendations? 📚 #books #reader #bookish #bibliophile #mexicangothic
I have been reading Caul Baby by Morgan Jerkins th I have been reading Caul Baby by Morgan Jerkins this month with Literati and I am loving it. It is unlike the books I usually read. The magical realism is so well written, and the mood is so tense I can’t put this book down. 💫 Literati sent me over their book club subscription box for free for review, and you can read all about it on my blog (link in my bio). I definitely miss the feeling of a real book club and Literati put that back in my hands. 💫 Looking forward to creating my October TBR soon. I have a lot of spooky books I plan to read, I hope it puts me in a cozy mood! 💫 #book #books #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #bibliophile #reader #read #reading #caulbaby #morganjerkins #bookclub #literary #literati #instabooks #epicreads #pages #library #booklover #bookworm #booktok #magicalrealism #literature #bookshelves #story #storyteller #history #bookmark #fantasy #onlineschool #mystery
I know it is still August, but I am so ready for F I know it is still August, but I am so ready for Fall. But it’s so hard to get in the mood when it is 90 degrees Fahrenheit where I live. I’m just trying to get in the mood by burning my Pumpkin Cupcake candle and watching spooky movies. ♥️ But as I am finishing up these summer months, I am also trying to finish all my summer reads. I started Beach Read a month ago, and I am really enjoying it. So I am hoping to finish it off before September hits so I can focus on spooky books! ♥️ #book #books #bookish #bibliophile #openbook #instabooks #toalltheboysivelovedbefore #contemporary #contemporarybooks
Hey! Long time no see! As I have mentioned in prev Hey! Long time no see! As I have mentioned in previous posts, I have been in a very long reading and life slump. Which is why you haven’t been seeing a lot of me. But I recently started working on my blog again, which has been super fulfilling, and I think it will help me with motivation to read and post. Finger crossed 🤞 ♥️ But now that I have that out of the way, what has everyone been reading? Any new favorites! Talk to me about them! I need all the book recommendations! ♥️ Like this book, Girl, Serpent, Thorn. I truly know nothing about this book other than the BEAUTIFUL cover. Gotta love that YA snake! ♥️ #book #books #bookstagram #read #bookblog #girlserpentthorn #bookworm #bookish #bibliophile
What is your favorite method of getting out of a r What is your favorite method of getting out of a reading slump? ♥️ I have been in a reading slump for months and I have tried EVERYTHING! Reading my favorite genre. Rereading my favorite books. Not reading. Nothing is working! ♥️ And I want to read. I really want to read. But I just... can’t? But I have 2 readathons I am doing this month, so I need to beat this slump.

Hello! Want to hear something really exciting? Tod Hello! Want to hear something really exciting? Today is the first day of the #owlcrateathon2021 held by @owlcrate and I will be participating in it! I have been low on motivation to read and post, so I am hoping using a readathon will help! 📖 Anyway, here is my TBR for the readathon. It is not too long, because I don’t want to pressure myself, but I’m super excited about both of these reads. They complete each challenge of the readathon, read a book that has been on your TBR the longest (From Twinkle was the first OwlCrate book I received), read 2 books, and complete a bingo. I will be completing the middle row down! 📖 Are you participating in the readathon this year? Let me know! #octbr21 #book #books #bookish #bibliophile #fantasy #pages #read #reading #reader #movie #film #YA #yabooks #bookworm #candle

What book or series got you into reading? ♥️ Y What book or series got you into reading? ♥️ You can probably tell from this photo, but it is The Hunger Games. I am still working though my reread of the series before I read the brand new prequel. I am trying to ignore the bad reviews I have been seeing around. I need to have faith that I’ll love it. ♥️ It has been nearly 2 months since I last posted here. Quarantine kind of hit me hard and the idea of ending quarantine (which I’ll be doing in 3 days) is hitting me harder. Hello anxiety 👋 nice to see you old friend.

Do you ever buy books just because you like the co Do you ever buy books just because you like the cover? ♥️ Of course I do. This is honestly one of the most beautiful books I own, I was already planning to buy it before I even read the plot. Then I learned it was about a dancer who started late in life and I died. That is me! I started dancing later in life. I knew right away I had to add it to my collection. ♥️ Of course, characteristically to me, I have yet to actually read the book. But I will get to it eventually. Some day 😂 ♥️ Also that pink candle? Smells like peony and it’s amazing and large and I love it! ♥️ #book #bookish #bookstagram #igbooks #books #bibliophile #reading #ballet #dance #dancer #candles #eucalyptus #pages #read #reader #natural #openbook #goodreads

I don’t read it at all really, and would love to dive into the genre. This is one of the books I plan to read this year, and I am so excited for it! ♥️ Has anyone else had some crazy cravings during this self isolation? I have been thinking about Kristy Kreme donuts all day. I could probably down 3 of those right now easily. ♥️ #book #books #bookish #bookstagram #bibliophile #historicalfiction #orangeslices #succulent #candle #bookandcandle #read #reader #reading #pages #bookworm #plant #houseplant #thelibrarybook
