🪴 #currentlyreading 🪴 QOTD: what are you currently reading? I’m reading Bright Ruined Things and I’ve only read the first chapter so far, it’s very promising! I can’t wait to be able to read more of it. This was a spontaneous purchase with @dess.reads and it’s one of our buddy reads. 🤗 🪴Tags #currentread #BrightRuinedThings #samanthacohoe #yabook #yaretelling #historicalfictionbooks #travelreads #thetempest https://www.instagram.com/p/CeHYlK8r3cc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Q: What's your favorite musical or play? Have you ever seen a stage production of any show? Tell me about it!. You might have noticed in my stories I've been seeing a lot of Broadway shows recently and sharing about it - its become a big part of my life and something I really enjoy! I'm fortunate to live within an hour of Manhattan so can easily get there to see shows on Broadway. I've seen 9 shows so far this month, with another planned for tomorrow, Saturday April 30th!. I've decided I'm going to start incorporating theatre/Broadway into my book posts whenever possible and blog posts too! For my monthly wrap up (coming soon!) I usually include a section of shows I've seen - starting this month, I'm giving my Broadway Wrap Up its own dedicated post, so stay tuned for that. When I read Bright Ruined Things I knew right away I wanted to take a photo of it at Moulin Rouge! The Musical and I had that chance earlier this month! My friend and I splurged on the Can-Can seats - which are right in front of the stage, and in front of the cat walk! It was an incredible experience to be so close to the actors on stage and see their facial expressions, I'm glad I had the chance to do that. Swipe to the end to see my full flapper dress outfit!. Sometimes the right book finds you at the right time and that’s how I feel about Bright Ruined Things. This is a standalone historical fiction/fantasy retelling of Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest,’ – but don’t worry, I don’t know The Tempest at all and I still enjoyed this one immensely. I’m definitely feeling standalones these days – less commitment. And this entire story is told over the course of one day – there’s something about that fast pace that entices me. If you like intense world building and super deep character development, this isn’t for you, but I pictured it all as Great Gastby-esque – that was the world in my mind and it worked for me. Only the basics of the magic system are touched upon, but it was also enough for me.

Happy Friday! . My weekend read is Bright Ruined Things by Samantha Cahoe. I love that cover and I love magic…sounds like a very promising combination 😍 . Valentines Day is a very interesting holiday - some people go all out and other people speak of it with disdain. Most of us are in the middle, though, I think. . Do you like and/or celebrate Valentine’s Day? . My husband and I don’t go all out but we do get each other token gifts and go out for a nice dinner. Most years, he gets me roses but I usually fuss about that because they are way over-priced on holidays! 💰 💰 💰 We also get a little something for our daughters - this year I was thinking that I would have cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory delivered 🤫 . . . . #allthebooksfeb22 #brightruinedthings #samanthacahoe #booksandflowers #bookandflower #bookandflowers #fantasy #fantasybooks #fantasyfridays #yafantasybooks #yafantasy #yafantasyfiction #tessatalksbooks #bookblogger #bookbloggersofinstagram #bookbloggersofig #bookbloggerlife #bookdragon #bookdragons #valentines #weekendvibes #weekendreads #weekendreading #beautifulbooks #beautifulcover #beautifulcovers #bookrecommendations #netgalley #netgalleyreads #netgalleyarc (at Lake Davidson) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ1tWStrRTz/?utm_medium=tumblr
