"Because, as you know, once you're a Morganville resident...you'll never want to leave." /// {Favorite Books of 2016 | 9/10 | MIDNIGHT BITES by Rachel Caine} /// Do you have a feeling or a person or a thing that makes you feel like you're home? That's me with this series. When I read the Morganville Vampires I'm home. And with MIDNIGHT BITES? My gosh, it was SO DAMN GOOD to be back in Morganville, Texas. This collection of short stories set throughout the series was PERFECTION. I missed my babies, the characters I know and who are so real than I can so easily picture them walking down the street. I missed the shenanigans and adventures and dangers of Morganville, the never-ending threats the Glass House gang has to put up with--and how they always fight back. And I missed everyone's favorite vampire-bunny-slipper wearing, mad scientist vampire. Morganville may be a town in the middle of nowhere where humans and vampires coexist (reluctantly and not quite peacefully), and it may be a series that has some issues and isn't perfect. But I don't care, because for me it's perfect. It's home. And sixteen books? Never, never enough. /// I'm almost done with this photo series and then I can post whatever the fuck I want THANK GOSH. Expect more ivy and less wood, since the logs I WAS using are now all firewood and ash and dust. (And I love that newly discovered ivy I REALLY DO. Maybe all my photos will just be ivy and leaves.) Also, photographing Kindles is such a pain in the ass. (My copy of MB is out on loan.) Although I may need to get over that pain, since most of what I've been reading lately--and my mood--is on my Kindle. #bookstagram #bookgram #booknerdigans #booknerd #bookish #instabook #igreads #epicreads #bookstagramfeature #bookishfeatures #booksoutofdoors #booksandnature #bookishglee #bookstagrammer #libraryofinstagram #libraryofbookstagram #midnightbites #rachelcaine #morganvillevampires #morganvilletexas #yall #vall #2016favs #bestof2016 #homeiswhereverimwithyou #vampiresaremyfavorite #glasshousegang #squadgoals #majorfuckingsquadgoals #likeadoptmeplease (at Morganville, Washington)

"In the image, there are five guys, all dressed in camo, holding rifles and standing behind a sign that says River Point Hunting Club. The woods behind them are alive with the reds, oranges, and yellows of fall foliage. They look happy and carefree, just as boys with bright futures and privileged backgrounds should look. But one of those boys is dead now." /// {Favorite Books of 2016 | 7/10 | THIS IS OUR STORY by Ashley Elston} /// I am VERY EXCITED that a thriller/murder mystery made my list of favorites last year since I LOVE thrillers/murder mysteries, and THIS IS OUR STORY was stellar, even if Grant Perkins had to die to make it so. I first became a fan of Ashley Elston when I read and lost sleep for her also thrilling Witness Protection Program debut THE RULES FOR DISAPPEARING years ago. Since the end of that duology (please write more Ethan Landry thanks) I'd been waiting for MORE ASHLEY ELSTON, and THIS IS OUR STORY fails to disappoint. This is the story of Grant Perkins and the River Point Boys--and Kate's won't-take-no-for-an-answer, Nancy-Drew determination to figure out which of Grant's besties killed him. It had thrills and chills and, in true Ashley Elston fashion, SWOONS, along with the best text conversations ever. Although I must warn you: THIS IS OUR STORY will turn you into a potato bug that's repeatedly yelling "SHUT UP NO" while stuck on its back. Just so you know. And no: I wait for Ashley's next book to hurry up and hit shelves. #bookstagram #bookgram #booknerdigans #booknerd #bookish #instabook #igreads #epicreads #bookstagramfeature #bookishfeatures #booksoutofdoors #booksandnature #bookishglee #bookstagrammer #libraryofinstagram #libraryofbookstagram #pnw #thisisourstory #ashleyelston #cocaptaincheerleaderofherfanclub #bestof2016 #2016favs #herehaveamurdermystery #scarfporn #thanksagainforthescarfotspsecretsisteriloveitandnevertakeitoff #peterpan #beaniebaby #ringbling #ivyleague #sweaterweather (at River Point)

"I want to know what’s going on in your brain. I want to juice your head like a lemon." /// {Favorite Books of 2016 | 6/10 | THE HATING GAME by Sally Throne} /// Let me be quite frank: OH MY GOSH THIS BOOK I CANNOT. Like, CANNOT. My favorites of 2016 don't really have numbers--except for being in the top--but if they did this would definitely be number two of the 103 books I read last year. It's just SO GOOD, and for once--FOR ONCE--ladies and gentlemen, I AM NOT A BLACK SHEEP. I read plenty of contemporary romance, but never adult, and now I want to read ALL the adult contemp romance. This book is PERFECTION, and it will literally break your face because of how much it will make you smile. It's about two office nemeses who hate each other but don't and the BANTER and CHEMISTRY and JOSH AND LUCY I just CANNOT. Sigh. I LOVE THIS BOOK. /// I haven't posted anything IN A WEEK--whoopsie daisies--because, well, ISSUES. I had an IDEA for this photo, but the first two shoots bombed, so I tried this for the third shoot (I just REALLY wanted a strawberry in the picture okay) and while I'm EH about it I just need to post something and I. give. up. Plus I've had issues with weather and taking photos before it's dark and this photo series has sucked all the inspiration out of me and BLAH. Hopefully I can get back in the groove this week, finish my favs of 2016, and gain back some inspiration. WEEEEEEEEEE. /// Since I've been so behind on the 'gram, tell me: what are you reading right now, and/or what's the best book you've read so far this year? /// ALSO ALSO ALSO A COURT OF WINGS AND RUIN COVER REVEAL TOMORROW I'm going to start crying now to help prepare. (And wishing I lived in Velaris and was High Fae as fuck.) #bookstagram #bookgram #booknerdigans #booknerd #bookish #instabook #igreads #epicreads #bookstagramfeature #bookishfeatures #booksoutofdoors #booksandnature #bookishglee #bookstagrammer #libraryofinstagram #libraryofbookstagram #thehatinggame #sallythorne #bestof2016 #2016favs #strawberryshortcake #heyshortcake #joshuafuckingtempleman #icannot #iseriouslycannot #cannoteven (at Strawberry Shortcake's)
