You Look Like a Protagonist

Exhausted but still cute 😜

#augustmaiden - day 8 ~ #currentlyreading ... I haven't actually read anything other than fanfiction in a long time but these are the most recent books I started that have been waiting for me 😞😞 I'm really enjoying them both so far but keep falling in and out of the reading mood! #bookstagram #whendimplemetrishi #sandhyamenon #thebonewitch #rinchupeco

#augustmaiden - day 7 ~ #onewordtitle 👌👌👌👌 I'm running out of cute ways to take pictures, but I'm still sticking with the trend of not having read any of the books I post! 📚 #bluebooks #bookstagram #yabooks #atlantia #allycondie #gladiatrix #russellwhitfield #afterworlds #scottwesterfeld #nightfall #jakehalpean #peterkujawinski

#augustmaiden - day 6 ~ #beautifulcover I love love love simple covers. I'm bored of close ups of actual people, give me more artsy photos and illustrations with fancy typography!!! #thescorpioraces #maggiestiefvater #thesongofachilles #madelinemiller #toofar #richshapero #foxlowe #eleanorwasserberg #daughterofsmokeandbone #lainitaylor #bookstagram #yabooks #redbooks #whitebooks

#augustmaiden - day 5 ~ #10thingsthatmakesmehappy here comes the struggle • buying the perfect present for someone • fancy dress • when I get motivated/inspired to write • a good book at the right time • sunshine • fluffy animals • taking photographs • having a tidy bedroom • tasty foooood • hugs #bookstagram #vintageclassics #penguinclassics

#augustmaiden - day 4 ~ #bookswithflowers I had the intention of taking this photo with real life flowers but alas I'm feeling a pyjama/bed day and haven't left the house to do that! Here's the best I could do 😜 #wings #spells #aprilynnepike #bookstagram #shinybooks #yabooks

#augustmaiden day 3 ~ #bookishombre ... I'm already behind on this!!! Will do day 4 & 5 tomorrow in the daylight I promise! This isn't the best bookish ombre around but I'm exhausted and it's the best I can do ✌❤ #bookstagram #bookstack #yabooks #bluebooks #whitebooks

Cheeky book haul! I've not bought any books in a while but I was on Amazon the other day and couldn't help peeking at hardcovers under £5 oops 😏 #bookstagram #bookhaul #placesnooneknows #brennayovanoff #thisiswheretheworldends #amyzhang #empireofshadows #miriamforster #blythewood #carolgoodman #hardcoverbooks #yabooks #yalit

Oh hi ~ here's my blurry post-interview face 👊

#bookspinepoetry is probably my favourite thing to do... so here's one I did recently~~~ some girls are the stuff of nightmares insatiable dreamless shades of grey. speak. before i go to sleep before i crash and burn #poetry #bookstagram #spinepoetry #bookstack

Tagged by the wonderful ray of sunshine that is @lauralocketreads 🌞❤ it's the #thisorthat tag with a completely irrelevant photo~ ☆Reading in bed or on the couch? I'll read anywhere if I'm in the mood, but in bed is v comfortable! 🛏 ☆Male or female protagonist? I generally read female but it's refreshing to read from a male pov (give me more gender diversity in main characters pls, where are my trans or non binary heroes?!?) I'll fall in love with the protag no matter what their gender is tho... 😚 ☆Sweet or salty? Combination is key 👌 ☆Trilogy or quartets? I'm gonna actually day stand alones or duologies for this... I'm a bit overwhelmed with long series that I still need to finish, so I currently appreciate shorter story series' 😆 ☆1st or 3rd person? 3rd!!! I feel like you get so much more of the story from that perspective 👀 ☆Reading at night or in the morning? Nighttime for sure, it's a great way to wind down 💤💤💤 ☆Library or bookstore? I love both so much, I started going to my local library for a while which felt great because free books! But also bookstores are my happy place to just wander through! 📚 ☆Black or white cover? RAINBOW ❤💛💜💙💚 ☆Books that make you cry? Yikes I've cried at so many books I can't even list them... some memorable ones were Allegient, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, and You Before Me... 😭 ☆Character or plot driven stories? I feel like a story is so much more interesting when the characters drive the plot, obviously the plot points ae important, but there is nothing worse than an epic story with flat characters. 😑 I try to remember this when it comes to my own writing as well, because I struggle with creating fantastical plot points when my wonderful characters should be the stars of the show! ✍ #bookstagram #booktag #vicious #veschwab #thekissofdeception #maryepearson #offireandstars #audreycoulthurst #thefiresermon #francescahaig #caraval #stephaniegarber #yabooks #hardcoverbooks

Finally getting around to posting my #top5tbr thank you @lauralocketreads for tagging me and getting my butt back onto #bookstagram 😆 I've been in a reading/life slump for a long time and don't really have a priority tbr pile, but I pulled these off the shelf in hopes that I'll snap out of it soon~ I don't think I'll tag anyone myself because I've not been on here for a while, but if you see this then definitely give it a go and tag me in yours! #foxlowe #eleanorwasserberg #thehouseattheendofhopestreet #mennavanpraag #thegirlwithallthegifts #mrcarey #everythonginevertoldyou #celesteng #theunexpectedeverything #morganmatson #tbr

On another note... my late Christmas present from @jadeyloudavies is Of Fire and Stars and I am OVERJOYED!?! 😍😍😍 Also I treated myself to the other two because why not #treatyoself #caraval #stephaniegarber #thebonewitch #rinchupeco #offireandstars #audreycoulthurst #bookstagram #bookhaul #yalit #yabooks

When I've been really good and not bought any random books for a while, and then mum is like "want to look in The Works?" smh 🙄😥📚 #bookhaul #bookstagram #thelastthingiremember #deborahbee #fellside #mrcarey #thedorisdayvintagefilmclub #fionaharper

Interview ready? Now to figure out how to get away with pink hair...

And so the stationary buying problem continues... 😏✒
