★ Where do you usually go book shopping? My favorite places to go book shopping are bookstores that sell used and new books! We have one about an hour away and I’ve found so many incredible gems there—I would say at least 20 percent of my books are from there, alone. I also shop at Barnes & Noble (especially for signed and exclusive editions!) and whenever we travel I make a point to discover a couple indies in the area! This tote bag designed by @noverantale from @illumicrate’s November box is perfect for all of my book shopping excursions, too! It’s inspired by @naominovik’s A Deadly Education and looks so good with my Illumicrate edition of the book!

An #Illumicrate book square!🌼 . Do you buy book boxes? . I’ve always bought one offs because I wanted to make sure I’d be interested in the books and the items included, but since I found out illumicrate has a book only subscription I’ve been subscribed to that, and I love it! 💛 It’s so much fun to receive a surprise book each month ✨Obviously, as you can see, I also couldn’t resist some of their exclusive editions 😅 . . . #booksquare #bookcovers #bookboxes #bookbox #bookboxsubscription #qotd #yafantasy #fantasy #fantasybooks #fantasylit #scifi #scifibooks #yascifi #yalit #yabooks #thecruelprince #nevernight #thecourtofmiracles https://www.instagram.com/p/CFTKbzCAJwr/?igshid=sk1rypw0bdw2

Lighting my Addie LarRue candle, while reading my exclusive @owlcrate edition of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by @veschwab while listening to its audiobook counterpart. I don’t generally like audiobooks, but Addie LaRue is an exception to anything. Keeping track of the date with my wooden calendar, also from owlcrate. Gotta warm up by drinking hot chocolate out of my new @rainbowcratebookbox mug and using their rainbow coasters. So it’s a pretty good night lol. #rainbowcrate #rainbowcratebookbox #owlcrate #owlcratebookbox #addielarue #invisiblelifeofaddielarue #theinvisiblelifeofaddielarue #bookstagram #booklover #book #books #bookstagrammer #booksbooksbooks #bookblogger #bookblog #bookboxes #bookbox #iremember #rememberaddie #rememberaddielarue #irememberaddie #irememberaddielarue #veschwab https://www.instagram.com/p/CK5DENmndP3/?igshid=105vyjrfmcjj2

★ What has been your most recent bookish mail? I recently received A Dawn of Onyx by @kategoldenauthor! You all know I’m a big fan of enemies-to-lovers romantasy, and this one was recently bumped way up on my TBR! It’s on Kindle Unlimited, too 😘 Description: Captured by a king of darkness. Forced to find the light within… Arwen Valondale never expected to be the brave one, offering her life to save her brother’s. Now she’s been taken prisoner by the most dangerous kingdom on the continent, and made to use her rare magical abilities to heal the soldiers of the vicious Onyx King. Arwen knows better than to face the ancient, wicked woods that surround the castle on her own, which means working with a fellow prisoner might be her only path to freedom. Unfortunately, he’s as infuriating as he is cunning—and seems to take twisted pleasure in playing on Arwen’s deepest fears. But here in Onyx Kingdom, trust is a luxury she can’t afford. To make it out of enemy territory, she'll have to navigate back-stabbing royals, dark magic, and dangerous beasts. But untold power lies inside Arwen, dormant and waiting for a spark. If she can harness it, she just might be able to escape with her life—and hopefully, her heart. Thank you Kate for sending this stunning book my way! 😘 ★ HASHTAGS // #bookstagram #fantasybooks #coverlove #prettybooks #totalbooknerd #becauseofreading #bookshelf #kategolden #adawnofonyx #spicybooks #bookboxes #bookaesthetic #fictionbathco #enemiestolovers #myfavoritethings #quietandstill #romantasy #fantasyromance https://www.instagram.com/p/ColfJBILUGg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

★ Have you read anything by Susan Dennard yet? I have read @stdennard’s Witchlands series, aside from Witchshadow (🙈), but haven’t read anything else by her (yet!). I did however, have so much fun on Twitter in 2019, participating in the first #SoozYourOwnAdventure that grew to eventually be #TheLuminaries! And to see this book now, as this quite beautiful @illumicrate edition no less, is really something else! The whole aesthetic of this cover and book design … can I live in it? I want to live in it. Also, please jump over to @stdennard’s post today, featuring an annotated copy of Truthwitch, as it is being auctioned off to support disaster aid for victims of the recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria! The Luminaries was featured in Illumicrate’s November box and if you’re keen to add editions like this to your shelves, jump on the waistlist and use LIBRARY5 when you snag a spot! 😘 ★ HASHTAGS // #bookstagram #fantasybooks #coverlove #prettybooks #totalbooknerd #becauseofreading #bookshelf #bookboxes #bookaesthetic #myfavoritethings #quietandstill #illumicratenov2022 #illumicrate #susandennard #yabooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CoV-1PIrTQE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

★ What is the weather like where you’re at? We’ve had a dry and cold week here, but this winter has been much wetter than many in recent years! I’m starting to feel ready for spring though, and have been enjoying going out to see my bulbs peeking up around the yard. Today I’m featuring the gorgeous book edges and enamel pins that have been featured in recent @the.arcane.society boxes! I love their editions, and am very excited for their Feb/March box featuring CN Crawford!

★ What are your favorite bookish companies of 2022? One of mine is @the.arcane.society! They are a fantasy and paranormal romance subscription box founded in 2022, and are a sister company to @themystic.box and @bellebookbox! This year they featured @laurathalassa’s Four Horseman series—a series I hold near and dear to my heart, and all of their editions are just so, so, so gorgeous. I ended up subscribing to Mystic Box as well! In a coincidental series of events, I met Kate (owner of The Arcane Society) at LoveNVegas this year, too! We ended up at the same table together and while I was in the restroom Kate and my husband struck up a conversation, and it was a bit like seeing an old friend after years apart. The Arcane Society’s Dec/Jan author is Stacey Marie Brown! Sign up for the waitlist (if you haven’t already!) and be sure to use LIBRARY10 for a discount if you snag a spot!
