What are you currently reading?💁‍♀️ I have the opportunity to read the eARC of Fire with Fire by Destiny Soria thanks to NetGalley and HMH Books. Recently started it and so far one of the most exciting first chapters I have read in a long time. 👏 I’m excited for this YA Fantasy read and where it goes… ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ⚔︎ BLURB ⚔︎ Dani and Eden Rivera were both born to kill dragons, but the sisters couldn’t be more different. For Dani, dragon slaying takes a back seat to normal high school life, while Eden prioritizes training above everything else. Yet they both agree on one thing: it’s kill or be killed where dragons are concerned. 🐉 Until Dani comes face-to-face with one and forges a rare and magical bond with him. As she gets to know Nox, she realizes that everything she thought she knew about dragons is wrong. With Dani lost to the dragons, Eden turns to the mysterious and alluring sorcerers to help save her sister. Now on opposite sides of the conflict, the sisters will do whatever it takes to save the other. But the two are playing with magic that is more dangerous than they know, and there is another, more powerful enemy waiting for them both in the shadows. 💀 ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ Book Challenges: • Happy Place by @awitchisreading #bookchatwithkat • Book picnic by @trappedinsidestories #trappedinsidestories • Please stay awhile by @twinklesandstars #starsinthedark • Free Day by @ashelys.reading.cafe #arcbirthday21 • Fantasy book and cover love by @booknooknerd84 #booknookbingo • Comfort Reads by @thedeityiswandering #wanderingmystical • Magic by @books.comics.funkos #bookishconlifeapr21 • Trope Tuesdays by @littlemissstar55 #lmsapril2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CN48br8rka9/?igshid=2ni3c893lcx2

Hello, Hello! I read Nocturnes a very long time ago on a friends recommendation and it’s a great read for October. It’s a series of short stories with a creepy horror element and in different writing styles. A good one to dip in and out of. It’s one I gave to Adam when we met as I thought he would enjoy it. I love that we have often given each other book suggestions and recommendations...Although he is still eager for me to read and finish temple and won’t read From Blood and Ash until I finish it! We’ve been watching Sherlock recently on Netflix. I really love the show it’s just so good. I also saw my best friend @amievictoria17 today and her beautiful little baby girl. We haven’t seen each other in so long and it was really lovely. Felix came with me and just made himself at home! What are you watching at the moment? Is there anything you can recommend me? I thought the Carpe Noctum candle from @readingroom.candleco would work well with this book. It has a beautiful star topping, swipe for a close up of the label! It smells so good. If I could bottle this up as aftershave for Adam I would 😂 #witchywednesday #bookchatwithkat #gothandliterature #readingroomwednesday #readingroomcandlecult #booksandcandles #bibliomaniacsxo #howlingreaders #fandombookishoct20 #readinginoctober #shadowofnightoct #spookyreadsoct #paperbacks #whattoread #whatimreading #bookloversunite #readeverything #readeveryday #readreadread #welovebooks #readwithus #bookaday #handpouredcandles #luxurycandle #ilovecandles #candlewick #candleseason #nocturnes #bookishflatlay (at Andover, Hampshire, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGncUOGr1Ka/?igshid=16lrzfmssbbl4

Predictive next game I am the ____ of the ____ and I love to ____ I am the one of the year and I love to see her again next week But who though?! Pale Daughter by @madamealchemie was my #scentoftheday Godsgrave is a book I need to finish Tuesdays are for teacups #bookchatwithkat #gothandliterature #bibliomaniacsxo #octobercovengoals #shadowofnightoctober #teatuesday #openbook #chapter13 #teapot #paperback #bookish #bookstagram #madamealchemie #tarottuesday (at Andover, Hampshire, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGSz_8BhcGm/?igshid=190uo8dur8ngk

Is there a book that you have loved for a very long time, and introduced to your spouse/partner/best friend? This is one I gifted Adam when we first met, and he got me The Lies of Locke Lamora. I really love that we share a passion for reading and books. It’s certainly helped give me a focus the last year or so as everything else has felt so bleak. Also sharing my current favourite lip balm from @madamealchemie Ifrit which is lovely and warm and cosy. My split lip isn’t from an underground club we don’t talk about but def from the change in the weather. Slathering my face in blood walk face mask is also quite pleasant as it’s in need of some TLC. #bookchatwithkat #gothandliterature #invokingbooks #bibliomaniacsxo #courtofreading #autumnaesthetic #octobercovengoals #autumnvibes #readinginoctober20 #thrillerreads #madamealchemiemonday #fightclub #madamealchemie (at Andover, Hampshire, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGQHwgKgnH2/?igshid=1l0bzzhzfeb6n

Do you have a favourite Shadowhunter? Your battery percentage is who you are 81-100% Warlock 61-80% Fae 41-60% Shadowhunter 21-40% Vampire 0-20% Werewolf Soooo maybe this is rigged because I’m conveniently on 93% and get Warlock, what are the chances?! 😆 I first read The Infernal Devices are the start of the year as my first Shadowhunter books but I’d already watched the Netflix show. I have Lady Midnight on audio too. I am yet to read any of the mortal instruments books though and I really enjoyed Chain of Gold. I am also starting two of @readingroom.candleco institute candles - I think New York Institute is my favourite scent #readingroomwednesday #readingroomcandlecult #bookchatwithkat #gothandliterature #bookbookowlhocuspocus #invokingbooks #bibliomaniacsxo #shadowofnightoctober #acourtofreaders #fandombookishoct20 #wickwednesday #octobercovengoals #readinginoctober20 #clockworkangel #tid #theinfernaldevices #shadowhunters #clockworkprincess #rrcc #bookishcandles #booksandcandles (at Andover, Hampshire, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGDdPizAyUc/?igshid=zjlkjbcsactd

Hello October 1st 🎃 It’s Spooky Season! What are your reading plans for this month? Any witchy or spooky reads? Does the season change your mood reading? I am super excited to read Shadow of Night with @mummyisreading @megan_readingawaythedays @oddsocks.blog @nverjudgeabook & @asrarlydiasbooks - a wonderful group of people who I read A Discovery of Witches with last month and I’m so happy the group is continuing. I’ve also pictured my tarot deck in the corner and will be sharing a few of these cards this month because the artwork is phenomenal & perfectly dark and spooky. 👻 Other reading plans include Star Daughter, Fable, Stalking Jack the Ripper, The Invisible Life of Addie Larue, The Ghost Tree, Horrid & The Year of the Witching. Oh, and a reread of A Court of Mist & Fury because WHY NOT. Non bookish things to look forward to include my smallest baby turning two on Sunday. We are hoping to go out for the day and I feel it will be our last time out for a while. We are seeing my mum and sister tomorrow as we missed out last week as there would have been more than 6 of us and this way we aren’t breaking any rules. The rising in cases have really got my anxiety jumping up again but we are doing all we can to stay safe and trying to protect our wellbeing too. REP POST - @emberstagcandles have to start the month showing this gorgeous autumnal scent with gold glittery top. Swipe for a close up of the label. It’s absolutely one of my favourite candles from the lovely Holly.
