Packing up some of my husband’s favorites by #raymondefeist and #davideddings ...he hasn’t been able to read them for awhile because he didn’t realize he needed reading glasses...maybe after we get settled in our new place, he’ll start taking books to work again #bookstagram #packingbooks 📦 #books #readersofinstagram #booknerd #bibliophile #bookgeeks #readmorebooks #bookish #sharingbookswithfriends #bibliotherapy #circleofbooks #read #bookworm #usedbooks #reading #bookswithmagic #joyofreading #reader

Day 3 May #ausbookishphotochallenge prompt: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! (Books with magic). . . What books include your favourite magic system? Suggest some to me 😍 . . . . @ausbookishfeatures #ausbookishfeatures #bookswithmagic #nitwitblubberoddmenttweak #crescentcity #houseofearthandblood #sarahjmaas #hardback #booksofinstagram (at Wollongong, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_ujMvSgvok/?igshid=r58lb7zes77e

Today’s challenge for the #book battle has me pretty excited. Turns out my FAVORITE author (Mercedes Lackey) published a book the year I was born: Oathbreakers! I have the whole Heralds of Valdemar series (only like 1/3 are pictured here) including almost all the short story compilations! 😮 😍😊 . . Mercedes Lackey has some of the strongest, complicated female characters I know in all kinds of roles. She has LGBT characters like they are no big deal and characters with disabilities as well (my favorite trilogy has a blind character). And I’m pretty sure I’m doing what I’m doing today as a living because I want to be a Herald. I’m still missing the magic though... . . #bbteamheartthrob #bookstagram #bookstagramfeature #bookfeaturepage #igreads #mercedeslackey #heraldsofvaldemar #magic #strongfemalecharacter #bookswithmagic #bookswithhorses #fantasyreads #oathbreakers #oathbreakertrilogy #booksof1989

Sooooo thought today I'd tease you with the #novelaesthetics hashtag for #LastStand 👑🏰🔥📚🐺 the final book in my YA fantasy series: #TheBlackMage. These pics are from my secret Pinterest board (find me: RECarterAuthor) >> I have the first three books' inspiration boards on there for the public but until the final book is released, the only way you get a glimpse of what's to come is if I am feeling generous on here or Snapchat (same user name as my Twitter and Pinterest) 😉 #bookstagram #igreads #bibliophile #booknerdigans #writersofinstagram #authorlife #bookswithmagic #pinterestboard

Being nominated as "favorite magic system" 📚 for #AirAwakensApril by both @booksandladders and @library.luv just absolutely made my day 🌟😁🌟 I am a big believer in magic having limits (stamina & potential) and I've always loved the idea of pain casting (where magic is unstable and costs you real damage up to your life). What is your favorite magic system in YA fantasy? #TheBlackMage #youngadultbooks #fantasy #fantasybooks #bookstagram #magicsystem #bibliophile #books #booknerdigans #booklife #lovemyreaders #bookswithmagic

One of my favorite all-time bookish quote memes by @Bookeria on Tumblr (Alex). Love how she incorporated the wolf imagery and made Darren's quote look so badass 🐺🐺🐺 If any of my lovely readers creates a meme for #TheBlackMage tag me and I'll upload them on my Pinterest and website fan page💙 #FirstYear #TheBlackMage #bookquotes #nevertrustawolf #liveandhate #teamvillain #princedarren #nonheir #bookswithmagic #youngadult #bookmeme #amwriting #amreading #bookstagram #bookish #bookporn #booknerdigans
