QOTP: Who is your favorite Harry Potter character? 📚 My very favourite Harry Potter character is definitely Luna Lovegood, with Ginny Weasley coming in a very close second! So naturally when I saw this candle I had to have it. Added bonus is it smells like one of my fave sweets: chocolate oranges. 💖 📚 I was tagged by the lovely @rubys.books for the #harrypotter tag! I'm not going to tag anyone specific but if you want to do it, consider yourself tagged! 📚 Favourite professor: McGonagall Favourite female character: Luna Lovegood Favourite spell/charm: Accio Favourite male character: Ron Weasley Favourite Weasley twin: Yes. Favourite house: Ravenclaw, obviously. *hair swish* Favourite book: Probably Order of the Phoenix 📚 #book #books #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #instabook #instareads #igreads #booklife #bibliophile #booklove #bookish #bookaholic #bookgeek #booknerd #bookworm #bookdragon #bookphotography #dailybookpic #booktastic #diversebookbloggers #candlegram #canterburyroadco #funko #jkrowling #wizardingworld

“Once upon a time, there was a man as great as the gods… But even the great can tremble with fear. Even the great can fall” ― Mary E. Pearson, The Kiss of Deception . .

QOTP: Do you like retellings? 📚 One of the fastest ways to get me to want to read something is to utter the word "retelling" while describing it. Especially if you combine that word with Alice in Wonderland. It would be completely fair to say I'm obsessed. 📚 This series is one of my favourite Alice retellings and I recently found out there's a companion series for it so I have to pick them up as well! There's also a graphic novel companion series for one of the side characters that's really good. 📚 It's worth a read if you enjoy a good retelling, a decent YA fantasy series, or Alice in Wonderland! Goodreads Synopsis: Alyss of Wonderland? When Alyss Heart, newly orphaned heir to the Wonderland throne, flees through the Pool of Tears to escape her murderous Aunt Redd, she finds herself lost and alone in Victorian London. Befriended by an aspiring author named Lewis Carrol, Alyss tells the violent, heartbreaking story of her young life. Alyss trusts this author to tell the truth so that someone, somewhere will find her and bring her home. But he gets the story all wrong. He even spells her name incorrectly! 📚 Fortunately, Royal Bodyguard Hatter Madigan knows all too well the awful truth of Alyss' story - and he's searching every corner of our world to find the lost princess and return her to Wonderland, to battle Redd for her rightful place as the Queen of Hearts. 📚 The Looking Glass Wars unabashedly challenges our Wonderland assumptions of mad tea parties, grinning Cheshire cats, and a curious little blond girl to reveal an epic battle in the endless war for Imagination. 📚 #book #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #instabook #instareads #igreads #booklife #bibliophile #booklove #bookish #bookaholic #bookgeek #booknerd #bookworm #bookdragon #bookphotography #dailybookpic #booktastic #diversebookbloggers #alicesadventuresinwonderland #funko #thelookingglasswars #frankbeddor

The process is to exist only in the present, to do everything step by step, without being distracted by something else. To complete any task, how small, you have the front and finish well. ________________________ #readingforpleasure #elisium #snapabook #dailybookpic #bookfetish #readingisawesome #booktastic #readinglist #readingisfundamental #bookshelves #bookcase #newbook #goodbook #reviewbook #mybooks #goodreads https://www.instagram.com/p/BsoKwP-HoNT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=adiwufy663md

Happy Tuesday to you and happy birthday to me! My neighbor side eyed me while I took this picture, but who cares what they think, right? I adore this candle and its maker and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to show it off a bit. 📚 As the candle's name suggests, I am reading a bit today, though not much. I had a pancake breakfast with my wee monsters at Denny's and played some board games. I even booked my AirBnB for when I travel later this year. Now, off to watch Dumbo! 🐘 📚 Reading On My Birthday smells like sweet champagne and vanilla cake. It's a perfect companion for light and fluffy contemporary romance novels or imaginary tea parties! 📚 #book #books #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #instabook #instareads #igreads #booklife #bibliophile #booklove #bookish #bookaholic #bookgeek #booknerd #bookworm #bookdragon #bookphotography #dailybookpic #booktastic #diversebookbloggers #mybookfeatures #candlegram #birthday #readingonmybirthday #canterburyroadco

Good morning, bookworms! Omens was recommended to me by @jemn who is one of my favourite friends. While I haven't quite gotten to reading it yet, I do have it checked out from the library still and I'm hoping to get to it soon. I did start listening to the digital audiobook of Children of Blood and Bone this morning though and so far all I can say is 😍😍😍😍 📚 I've been slacking a bit on my tags lately so let's give one a go. I was tagged by the lovely @thoughtsinprint for the #booksandheroes tag. 📚 Wonder Woman: a book with a strong female heroine An Ember In The Ashes by Sabaa Tahir 📚 Superman: a book with a character from out of this world Zenith by Sasha Alsberg and Lindsay Cummings 📚 Batman: a book with a good plot twist The Last Magician by Lisa Maxwell 📚 Aquaman: a book set in the sea Narwhal and Jelly by Ben Clanton 📚 Flash: a super fast read City of Bones by Cassandra Clare 📚 Cyborg: a book character that overcame death Tea from The Bone Witch by Rin Chipeco 📚 #book #books #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #instabook #instareads #igreads #booklife #bibliophile #booklove #bookish #bookaholic #bookgeek #booknerd #bookworm #bookdragon #bookphotography #dailybookpic #booktastic #diversebookbloggers #mybookfeatures #omens #kelleyarmstrong

"She understood the hurt, too. The fear that there was something intrinsically wrong with you to make the people who were supposed to love you leave. The way that fear either hardened you or destroyed you. It had turned into a sort of armor for her, another weapon in her arsenal, and she suspected the same was true of Harte." - Lisa Maxwell, The Last Magician 📚 I finished listening to/reading The Last Magician around 1AM last night and WOW. I did put down the audiobook toward the end and read the physical version instead because the narrator really got on my nerves. 📚 The book itself is amazing though and I'll be writing a full review of it. The only thing keeping it from being 5/5 was the cliff-hangerish ending. It was my book for challenge 8 of the #slcreadathon 📚 I was going to start listening to Markswoman by Rati Mehrotra this morning but, fortunately, I glanced at Goodreads first. Thank you to the reviewers there for using the TW/CW because it's for something I need to avoid. 📚 Any suggestions for challenge 10: A Character On The Run are greatly appreciated. 🤓 📚 Instead, this morning I picked up the audiobook of Nyxia by Scott Reintgen, which is my pick for the readathon's challenge 5: A Book Set In Space. I'm really enjoying it so far, though it's not what I was expecting it to be. 📚 I also picked up the physical version of The Heart Forger by Rin Chupeco, which is my buddy read with @katsyxo this month. 💖 It's also my pick for challenge 1: A Book With Paranormals, so yay for multitasking! 🤓 📚 #book #books #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #instabook #instareads #igreads #booklife #bibliophile #booklove #bookish #bookaholic #bookgeek #booknerd #bookworm #bookdragon #bookphotography #dailybookpic #booktastic #diversebookbloggers #mybookfeatures #thelastmagician #lisamaxwell

"It's a strange feeling, realizing that other people you don't know have their own full lives that don't touch yours." - Mackenzi Lee, A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue 📚 Good morning, bookworms, and happy free coffee day!! 🤓☕ 📚 So, last Friday you all picked for me to listen to the audiobook of A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue and WOW do y'all have good taste! I finished listening to it yesterday morning and I still have all the feelings. I'm definitely going to do another book vote sometime soon! 📚 I also finished reading The Bane Chronicles this morning which, of course, gave me all the feels. I've decided that if I'm to have a book boyfriend, it has to be Magnus Bane because he's simply fantastic. Also, I can feel less guilty about being an adult with a book boyfriend from a teen novel because he's several hundred years old. 📚 In the time it took for me to listen to Monty and Percy go on a grand adventure, my check out time for Shatter Me expired, so I've only got Zenith by Sasha Alsberg checked out at the moment and I'll likely start that tomorrow morning if any of you would like to listen or read along with me. I'd love to chat with y'all about the bookish goings-on! 📚 What are some audiobook recommendations you have? 📚 #book #books #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #instabook #instareads #igreads #booklife #bibliophile #booklove #bookish #bookaholic #bookgeek #booknerd #bookworm #bookdragon #bookphotography #dailybookpic #booktastic #diversebookbloggers #mybookfeatures #agentlemansguidetoviceandvirtue #mackenzilee
