💥 Strength, survival, and heat

17th May - Bookish boyfriend/girlfriend I'm nominating Little Women for this one - staying on the theme of bad-ass heroines, the March sisters have their fair share of love interests and matches, both good and bad. And who didn't fall a little bit in love with Laurie! @penguinukbooks @puffinbooksuk @vintagebooks @harpercollinsuk @harpercollinsch @almapublishing #louisamayalcott #bookishboyfriendgirlfriend #badassheroines #notallheroeswearcapes #queenofmay #queenofmay19 #bookishchallenge #maybookstagram19 #bookstagramchallenge #photochallenge #monthlychallenge #bookchallenge #bookstagram #booklove #kidsbooks #childrensbooks #maychallenge #lovereadinglovebooks #sendmybook #loveyourlocalbookshop #booksaremybag #nickelbooks #bookshopheroes @queen_of_books_and_sleep @booksaremybag @meryl.halls @book_tokens (at Sittingbourne) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxssVl6herp/?igshid=rbtaso9odppu

16th May - Bad-Ass Heroines There are so many books now that showcase amazing women through history, but Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls started them all, which pretty much makes the author and illustrator bad-ass heroines all by themselves! @penguinukbooks @particularbooks @timbuktumags @elenafavilli @francescatherebel #rebelgirls #badassheroines #notallheroeswearcapes #queenofmay #queenofmay19 #bookishchallenge #maybookstagram19 #bookstagramchallenge #photochallenge #monthlychallenge #bookchallenge #bookstagram #booklove #kidsbooks #childrensbooks #maychallenge #lovereadinglovebooks #sendmybook #loveyourlocalbookshop #booksaremybag #nickelbooks #bookshopheroes @queen_of_books_and_sleep @booksaremybag @meryl.halls @book_tokens (at Sittingbourne) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxsoJOBhQis/?igshid=1vsmngctmhswx

That moment when you discover the book you've been waiting what feels like forever for is on NetGalley. @lauren.dane #amreading #faveauthors #badassheroes #badassheroines

Valerie made it around the truck without incident, the darkness growing thicker and thicker. She felt as if she slogged through a cloud of ink, offering her no choice but to remove her mini Maglite from her vest. The flashlight would make her a target, but it was a lesser evil than walking around blindly. She would rather see something come at her, even if it saw her first. - Releasing the Demons, L.D.

I had a dream about this series last night! I still can't decide if we got Inej and Phoenix in a room together if they would be unstoppable allies or if the most epic chick fight would ensue 🤔 #badassheroines #bookcon #newworldrising #sixofcrows #bookstagram

I saw Hanna this weekend. First reactions were: Saoirse Ronan was exquisite, soundtrack by Chemical Brothers was pretty good at amping up the intensity, and the fantastical imagery of the film was a delight for the eyes. I've read that the plot contains gigantic holes, but I don't think that really detracts from the movie in this case. The more time I have away from the film, the more I have been thinking about it. Hanna is a drug, and I want another hit. My reaction to it reminds me of my reaction to Donnie Darko. I think I might up it to MUST SEE and CULT status. Go see it and thank me later. Bonus: Eric Bana is pretty babe-a-licious at the dad. :)
