Participating in a #bookbattle again, which I’m hoping resparks my insta and helps me try to refund my voice. Of course, I’m moving and about to pack out everything, so...might be difficult actually posting new things. Might be a lot like this and a #tbt picture from early on in my feed - more than two years ago when I was still in language training. #timeflies . . I recently got Bloodwitch and really need to get on to reading it! . . #bbhypatia #instachallenge #truthwitch #witchlands #susandennard #yalit #youngadult #readingchallenge #bookfeaturepage #bookcover #bookflatlay #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #youngadultlit #igreadsarg https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw-_HsTH9H_/?igshid=1q6mxfcyf1zk5

Who is excited for the final season of Game of Thrones?!? I cannot wait and I love all these pictures that are coming back. Even if a bunch of my babies are going to die. I wonder if the Red Woman will play any kind of role in the final season... . . #swagsunday #gameofthrones #nightking #georgerrmartin #bookphoto #bookspines #booksandpops #booksandcandles #courtofcandles #booklife #bookaesthetic #bookcommunity #igreads #fantasybooks #highfantasy #bookfeaturepage #bookshelf #bookworm #booksbooksbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Btt1FnwHuK2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1li54r3jywg8y

How many books by African-American/black authors do you own? . . That was my challenge with this photo and honestly...I’m disappointed. This is all I have? That’s awful! . . I’m currently reading Ta-Nehisi Coates “Between the World & Me” in honor of Black History Month and it’s making me ask myself hard questions. . . I do have a lot of books by POC, specifically Asian and even a fair amount of Middle-Eastern authors, and certainly 75% of my books are by women, but I clearly need to work on my African-American/black works collection! . . #blackhistorymonth #blackauthors #supportblackauthors #yalit #youngadultreads #tanehisicoates #bookaesthetic #bookcommunity #bookflatlay #bookcovers #bookspines #currentlyreading #igreads #bookishfeatures #bookaholic #bookphoto #booklife #youngadultfiction https://www.instagram.com/p/BtmajnVniQ9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k4owxh035jqb

Who is your favorite contemporary YA author? . . I am in love. My first book by Emma Mills was First & Then a retelling of Pride & Prejudice (my fav), then Foolish Hearts was included in an owlcrate back in early 2018, I think? And I loved that one too. It’s a retelling of Midsummer’s Night Dream. And now I’m finally reading This Adventure Ends. . . It. Is. So. Good. I’m about 100 pages in and I’ve already laughed a ton. I have two quotes already in my favorite quotes section of my book journal. Slade is who I wish I was if I were better on my witty timing. I NEED her latest book which came out just a few weeks ago. She’s an auto buy for me for sure and my fav contemporary author along with Rainbow Rowell. . . #emmamills #foolishhearts #firstandthen #thisadventureends #contemporarylit #yalit #igreads #currentlyreading #ilovebooks #bookcommunity #bookflatlay #bookcover #retellings #socksunday #bookishlife #youngadultbooks #bookfeaturepage #bookishfeatures #bookobsessed #booktography https://www.instagram.com/p/BtbwGBTnlvT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10ion166suwyq

What’s your most anticipated book on your TBR for February?? . . I know I’m a day late, but I wanted natural light for this photo and I got home too late last night for that. Usually Groot is the 💫 (read:hog) of my pics, but today Xena is! . . This is a wildly unrealistic Feb TBR, but you never know! Some are shorter so I’m hoping to fly through them. And if I can just stop the mindless Facebook time, then maybe! . . #tbr #februarytbr #toberead #igreads #yareads #guildedwolves #kissofdeception #shadowqueen #emmamills #kierstenwhite #catsofinstagram #bookbattle #readingrivalry #bookflatlay #bookcommunity #bookcover #bookishlife #youngadultbooks #yalit #bookspines #bookstoread #currentlyreading #bookblogger #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BtY6_PCHIav/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9n2aq9m82dr2

Do you use book sleeves? . . I was a late addition to the book sleeve addiction, and well...look where I am now...six and counting. For someone who travels a lot, I need all that I can get! . . I did a post on book sleeves over at my blog.

Have I showed you all that I caved? I caved to the pressure that is books by color. I honestly didn’t think I had enough to make it worth it. So many of my books are black. And you can still see I have hardly any green or purple... . . But while I thought this would drive me nuts, I love it! I think it’s beautiful and I love staring at all the beautiful colored books that I have in my living room. I honestly might do this for all my books next time, but that might be a bit much! . . #shelfie #sparkjoy #bookshelf #bookstagram #bookdragon #bookcommunity #bbartemis #bookchallenge #bookcolors #bookspines #bookfeaturepage #igreads #yareads #bookobsessed #bookish #booklife https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs_tFrSHQTl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b4g0k90tb8pa

Do you cover buy? What is the most gorgeous cover you own? . . I have absolutely know idea what this book is even about but I think it absolutely is one of the most gorgeous I own. I love the colors and the girls hair and the picture inside. It’s beautiful to me. Though! I love so many covers it was hard for me to pick even one and say “This is the most beautiful.” I do like covers with dramatic women on them.

I absolutely adore mythology. You can ask my boss, who I regaled with stories of how Orion was put in the sky just on Saturday. . . And yet! These are the only mythology books I own?!😱😱 I’m saddened in myself. I have a lot of retellings, but not many straight mythology. My copy of The Odyssey is missing here, at least... . . I finished Circe this evening and thought it was wonderful. I read it slow, as it felt slow, but purposefully slow. As if I were the goddess herself living out my eternity slowly. It was a beautiful story and I can’t wait to read The Song of Achilles soon. . .

Here’s something perhaps a bit more playful... . . I’m doing a 24-hour readathon: reading as much as I can in 24-hours. Been going for just over an hour now and Station 11 already has me hooked! I’m paranoid and nervous and in love already. . . #stationeleven #currentlyreading #readathon #bbartemis #rrlightitupwithlove #bookcover #bookobsessed #igreads #bookishfeatures #bookfeaturepage #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #bookdragon https://www.instagram.com/p/BszFAyFHhXm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jckf36de6qxf

Another prompt that also went perfectly with a color coordinated scheme! #mancrushmonday . . All of these books pretty much have sworn-worthy male leads that I would pretty much love to have has real people: Han Solo (Last Shot), Aldrik (Air Awakens), Elias (Ember in the Ashes), Peeta (Catching Fire), Jin (Hero at the Fall), Prince Maxon (The Elite), And Prince Cal (Red Queen). . . Whose your man crush? . . PS. Check out my book review today on my blog!

Today’s challenges were “quote about dreams” and favorite book couple. . . I took the easy route with the dream quote. How do you not use this line from A Court of Mist and Fury? And while I could’ve done Feyre/Rhysand, I didn’t want to be so predictable. My favorite couple from ACOTAR is Nesta/Cassian anyway... . . So for my favorite couples I went with Day and June from Legend series by Marie Lu. I like how they look out for each other and respect each other’s capabilities. And the ending just broke my fucking heart. . . I also chose Puck and Sean from Scorpio Races. I loved their competitive spirits but also how they worked together and how they love their horses. . . Also chose Lia and Rafe from the Kiss of Deception series - the last book featured in this pic. I really love the ending between Rafe and Lia. How they are a team. . . Same basically goes for Kestral and Arin from Winner’s Curse trilogy. They are fierce together and their love is so strong. . . Who are some of your favorite book couples?? . . #bookquotes #acotar #sarahjmaas #bookcouples #couplegoals #bookcovers #kissofdeception #legendseries #winnerscurse #rrlightitupwithlove #bbartemis #bookfeaturepage #bookish #igreads #yalit https://www.instagram.com/p/BsmKKNznZZD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ea3bspss6vjs

Check out what I’m currently reading! Well, not all of these, but Amber & Dusk, with owlcrate’s special edition cover! I love the purple, so I went with a purple theme today. . . If you could live in any of these worlds, which one would you live in? At the moment, I’d take any world with magic, like Amber & Dusk, even if the world seems pretty harsh... . . #bbartemis #rrlightitupwithlove #yalit #currentlyreading #igreads #amberanddusk #owlcrate #bookcover #bookspines #fantasybooks #bookcommunity #bookflatlay #bookfeaturepage https://www.instagram.com/p/BsgTkzqHCN6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xtunp19ep66c

Someone mentioned yesterday about liking galaxy covers in blue...and that idea also fit in today with the @readingrivalry Instagram prompt: books and stars! . . I guess technically that’s the Moon, but all of these covers have a ton of stars on them! I had a surprising number. Nothing consistent on the color, but it works! . . What’s your favorite motif (not color!) on books? . . #readingrivalry #rrlightitupwithlove #stars #bookcovers #bibliophile #bookcommunity #yalit #igreads #bookquotes #bookdragon #bookbattle #bookfeaturepage https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsb13rAnI39/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rpya269qqm2x
