#julyfantasychallenge

In a dream world I would be able to finish all of the series I have started this Summer! In reality, I'll be lucky if I finish one! I have read Cinder but not the test of The Lunar Chronicles so that definitely tops that list! 👠 Also Throne of Glass is on that list! ⚔• • What are the series you have started but still haven't finished? 📚• • ❣"Hasten to depart for I am reading" mug by @eviebookish Also the pillows in there background! 💗• 🔅 Summer reading goals #lilbookishjuly 🔹Favorite Villain #rfabjuly16 🔹Disney or Wizard world, I've never read HP so I'm going Disney #julyfantasychallenge 🔹 Cover Love #sammyreadsjuly16 📖•

So, I don’t really post #shelfie pictures because my bookshelves are just a mess. (See #oldstagrammer tag about posting a non-shelfie shelfie). But, for this challenge, I decided to just take the plunge and post one because there is at least one shelf that I am proud of. This is my Jane Austen shelf. Jane Austen is one of my all time favorite authors. Her witty, gorgeous prose is what got me through my first year of teaching and also inspired me to write. (Former Jane Austen fan fiction writer here!) On this shelf, I have multiple editions of Pride and Prejudice from different years and also in different languages. I also have a few souvenirs from the Jane Austen Center in Bath and from her cottage in Hampshire. I will admit that these bird figurines were collected this year as bookstagram props, but I like keeping them on this shelf with Jane Austen because I think she would’ve liked them. • And this is SO late, but my plus one for the Yule Ball would be Mr. Darcy. Always. • Book Challenges: #livelaughbooksjuly “Shelfie” and "Beloved Classic" • #julyfantasychallenge “It’s the Yule Ball. Who’s your plus one?”

All of the food on the train and in the capital always made me so hungry!! Everything sounded so yummy and amazing! Especially Peeta's cakes 😋 🎂• • I've included the @charmwithmeclub Girl on Fire card in this pic as a little teaser! I will share the AMAZING charms soon when there is no spoiler risk! 📚• • In other news... 10K??!! OMG you guys I am so happy and excited and filled to the brim with humble appreciation 💗 thank you so much to each and every one of you who follow me and enjoy my photos and take the time to listen to my rambling thoughts. I will be away on vacation for a few days but I am planning a giveaway soon 😊• 🔅#lilbookishjuly - Fave Fictional Food #julyfantasychallenge - my choice for Court Jester would totally be Peeta! He has all of the personality and charm, not to mention being able to paint on awesome makeup! 😊• 🔹Peeta's cakes candle by @fromthepage 🕯• 🔹Mockingjay necklace by @thegeekycauldron 💛•

#julyfantasychallenge Day 10: My choice for Court Jester Leo Valdez from the Heroes of Olympus series. With his tech savvy and wit I know I would always be entertained. Next to Percy and Annabeth, this red hot chili pepper cupcake is one of my faves. 🐲 #TeamLeo @brumblewumps.books.and.plush @oasisgirlmd #bookstagram #instabooks #books #reading #ya #fantasy #librarybooks #thelosthero #heroesofolympus #percyjackson #leovaldez #rickriordan #bookworm #bookrecommendations #summerreading
