Pageturner 20

“What I need and what I want are two very different things.” - Victoria Aveyard, Red Queen I’ve finally gotten my inspiration back! I have been in the biggest slump bookish wise and I hated every second of it. However, I can feel myself wanting to read and blog and instagram again, and I am so happy! This was my book haul for January. Despite not feeling in the mood to read, I still ordered some books and bought a couple whilst in town 😂 old habits die hard. I now have both the UK and the US collectors editions of Red Queen and I love them! I am so excited for War Storm later this year! The rest of my monthly wrap up can be found on my blog, link in bio! Happy reading everyone! #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #tbr #read #januarywrapup #bought #bookishproblems #booknerd #redqueen #redrising

“One to be a murderer. One to be a martyr. One to be a monarch. One to go mad.” - Heartless, Marissa Meyer. I’m sorry I’ve been absent! My son has been ill these last few days and he stuck to me like Velcro 😅 thankfully he’s doing better now. Renegades was my Goodreads Monday pick for this week! I loved both the lunar chronicles (though I still need to read Winter) and heartless and I cannot wait to pick Renegades up! I also have reviews up on my blog for Switch by A. W. Hill and Nathaniel hill, as well as Pretty Dead Girls by Monica Murphy - feel free to check those out! Link in bio. Have you read Renegades yet? Did you enjoy it? #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #tbr #goodreadsmonday #marissameyer #heartless #lunarchronicles #renegades #blogger #blog #reviewer #youngadultbooks #youngadult

“No one needs to ask for a woman’s opinion. It’s expected that she gives it freely.” - Kristen Ciccarelli, The Last Namsara Isn’t this cover just 😍😍😍 I love both version of the cover (even though this is the only copy I have) and it’s definitely up there with Strange the Dreamer as one of the most aesthetically pleasing books sat on my shelf!

“The measure of a man is what he does when he has power.” Pierce Brown, Red Rising My review for Red Rising is now up on my blog! Link in bio :-) I absolutely LOVED this book! I didn’t pick it up for the longest time because I thought it was something I wasn’t going to overly enjoy, so I left it on my tbr for a while. I could literally kick myself! The world building, the character development and the plot were fantastically weaved together! I can’t wait to pick up book 2!

“What started as a secret rebellion, ended as justice. Revenge. Death. Rebellion.” - blurb from First We Were IV by Alexandra Sirowy My review for First We Were IV is now up on my blog! Link in bio :-) this was unfortunately a DNF for me, which is a shame because it was a highly anticipated read. I struggled to really connect with the characters and I felt that the plot was really too slow to keep my interest. Have you read this book? What did you think? #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #read #dnf #firstwewereiv #alexandrasirowy #yamystery #yathriller #youngadultbooks #blog #blogger #review #reviewer #booklover #anticipatedread

“Sometimes the enemy is just one person who will bring down a kingdom.” Mary E. Pearson, The Kiss of Deception My review for The Kiss of Deception is now up on my blog! Link in bio :-) unfortunately for me, this was a dnf. I think it just wasn’t really my cup of tea and I really struggled to enjoy it 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ What popular books have you been disappointed with? #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #hypedbooks #maryepearson #thekissofdeception #read #reviewer #blogger #dnf #romance #youngadultbooks #youngadult #youngadultfantasy

“You were ready to throw your life away... but are you brave enough to change it?” My Goodreads Monday is now up on my blog! Link in bio :-) I’ve had Mortal Danger on my tbr for ages now, so I’m glad I’ve finally gotten a copy! What books have you had on your TBR for too long? #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #tbr #annaguirre #mortaldanger #youngadultbooks #mystery #goodreadsmonday #blogger

“Everyone has a price.” - Marie Lu, Warcross My November book of the month was Warcross by Marie Lu! I was super hesitant to pick this up because I wasn’t hugely blown away by Lu’s previous works, but I am so glad I did! This book had me hooked from beginning to end and I loved every aspect of it! I cannot wait for the next instalment! Both my review and my November wrap up are up on my blog, so feel free to check it out! What was your book of the month? #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #warcross #marielu #penguinteen #virtualreality #mystery #5star #bookofthemonth #novemberwrapup #sciencefiction #scifi #goodreadschoicefinalist

“A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone if it is to keep its edge” - Tyrion Lannister Can you guys believe it’s December already? What happened to the rest of 2017?!? These are the books I bought during the month of November - apparently I need an intervention 😅😅 My Monthly Wrap up is now up on my blog, so feel free to check that out - link in bio! Let me know if you have read any of the books I bought/read in November and whether you agree with my book of the month! #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #tbr #bookbuyingproblem #bookbuying #monthlywrapup #novemberwrapup #blog #blogger #reviewer #youngadultbooks #bookaddiction #booklover #medimops

“You know, you ladies can let us males do things every now and then” - Sarah J. Maas, Empire of Storms My unboxing for the November @fairyloot, Ladies that Slay, is now up on my blog! Link in bio! I definitely feel like Anissa and her team out did themselves this month and I loved everything inside that box! Plus, kudos to the packing faeries! #fairyloot #unboxing #blogger #youngadultbooks #sarahjmaas #tbr #bookishbox #bookishitems

“I called the desert into a storm.” My review for Traitor to the Throne is now up on my blog! Link in bio :-) I really enjoyed this book and the plot twists! I cannot wait for book 3 next year! :-) Have you read this yet? What did you think? Keep it spoiler free in case others haven’t read it yet! #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #alwynhamilton #read #review #reviewer #blog #blogger #youngadultbooks #fantasy #djinni

“Who was this girl who thumbed her nose at two kingdoms and did as she pleased?” The kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson is my current read and I’m really struggling to get into it. Does the second half get better? #books #youngadultbooks #currentlyreading #maryepearson #thekissofdeception #remnantchronicles #greenbooks #bluebooks #hypebeast

As someone who loves murder mysteries/Thrillers, the amount of physical copies I own of these kinds of books is severely lacking... Dangerous Girls is one of my absolute favourite books of ever! I was in hospital when I read this a few years back and it just blew me away - I would highly recommend it (and often do...) #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #abigailhaas #dangerousgirls #murdermystery #thriller #youngadultbooks #natashapreston #stephanieperkins #mgreyes #paulahawkins

“‘Boys will be boys’ is what people say to excuse guys when they do something awful” Who has read What We Saw by Aaron Hartzler? I read this a while back and was completely blown away by it. I definitely feel like it should be required reading in secondary schools because the subject matter is based on a true story, and is still relevant to today’s society. Hartzler definitely did a great job of putting a spotlight on rape culture and the effect social media can have ... #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bluebooks #whatwesaw #steubenville #rapeculture #mustread #aaronhartzler #youngadultbooks

The illustrated editions of HP are so beautiful! 😍😍 I just need to get them in English 😅 also, look at how cute my Snape funko keyring is! #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #harrypotter #illustratedbooks #harrypotterillustrated #snape #germanbooks

“Some things are worth pursuit regardless of the cost” There were a lot of mixed reviews about Caraval, but I absolutely loved it! I was immediately sucked into the amazing world building, the mystery behind Legend and it was easy to forget that it was just a game 😉😉 I cannot even wait for next year for Legendary!! #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #caraval #stephaniegarber #legendary #read #tbr #magic #fantasy #youngadultbooks

I realised taking this picture that I don’t have that many white books hanging around on my shelf 😅 Diabolic is a book I’ve heard a lot of great things about, but haven’t actually gotten to it yet - and I’ve had it since it’s release 🙈🙈 I will get to it and hopefully soon because book 2 was recently released and the cover is beautiful 😍 #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #tbr #thediabolic #whitebooks #sjkincaid #bookspiral #candles #youngadultbooks
