ignore the missing problem children, i have to go back for them

And thank you so much for your sweet message, this totally made my day <3 have a great week babe @harrypotsmokerandtheshwartz

channeling my inner Bitty for the update today 🥧🏒

beach weekend season 🌊

my bookcon haul!! it’s certainly not as many books as last year, but I would consider it more of a success cause instead of wandering around aimlessly I actually had books that I knew I wanted to get  - if you want to here more about my haul you should totally check me out on youtube orrrrrrr, if you want to nab that extra copy of king of scars, check out my insta cause I’ll be posting the giveaway for that soon! (both of those handles are @ oliviaslibrary) 

this isn’t technically part of my bookcon haul (if you want to see that, go check out the video I just posted on youtube, I’m oliviaslibrary on there!) but this book was so pretty I just had to post it!!

I spent the whole time taking this photo terrified that I was about to set my bed on fire

Hey y’all!! I’m at bookcon day 1 and I’m so pumped! I don’t know if any of you guys are gonna be here but if you see me don’t hesitate to come say hi (I’m the one in the blue, the guy in the yellow is my amazing boyf who’s tagging along with me ((aka waiting in lines for me))) for updates follow me on Instagram at oliviaslibrary!

I got a plant!!! Which, according to the lady at the store, should be impossible to kill (or, more precisely, “if you kill one of these you don’t deserve to own plants”) I honestly give it 3 months - as badly as I want to be a successful plant mom, I have a very bad track record with keeping them alive 😅 I read carry on about a year ago now, but it’s one of those books that I love to take out of my shelf and just look at sometimes, that’s how pretty it is. Do you guys have those books? Ones that you don’t even have to reread, just hold on your hands and look at and they still give you that warm fuzzy feeling in your chest? 

I think a running theme with the photos the past few days can be summed up by “distractions from finals” - but with books this pretty can you reaaaally blame me 

I forgot to show y’all but look what came in the mail the other day!! I swear, Madeline Millers books are some of the prettiest on my shelf, and I can’t wait to see if this one destroys me as much as TSOA did 😭

So even though I said I was gonna finish this the other night, I have actually been trying to study maybe just a liiiiittle so I started it, but haven’t finished yet - it’s crazy how after a whole year of not reading a series, how easy it is to fall back into the rhythm of the story again. I feel like that’s how you know a book is good, when coming back feels like coming home ☺️

so after getting those two candles yesterday I maaaay have realized that I had a sorta kinda teeny trc-candle-buying-problem 😅😅 BUT ITS OK CAUSE THEYRE ALL AMAZING...I really don’t know how I’m gonna fit this all on my shelf though 😬

Whoa-oh what’s this? I’m posting again for the first time in too goddamn long? How rare right? BUT the end of the semester is finally finally upon me so I am giving myself a list of books I want to finish this month - because even when I’m not reading consistently, I keep. buying. more.. so the list has definitely been stacking up...I plan on knocking out ACOFAS tonight, because even despite the mixed reviews, how could I not, you know? My lack of self control also extends to my candle purchases so voila, two more from @novellyyours that as usual smell i n c r e d i b l e (and also got here in like two days??? How do you do it Britt?) if there are any books you think I’ve maybe missed over the past few months that are worth adding to the list, make sure to let me know!!!
