I was supposed to be writing captions and taking photos today (because I'm almost out). But did I do that? No. What did I do instead? I was on a role drawing and lettering new bookmarks! At the start of June I'm introducing a whole new style to my Etsy store (@booktineusbookmarks). I finished most of the first lot today and I'm actually kind of surprised how well they turned out! I won't say which book it's for just yet, but it is one of my all time faves and a book I barely ever see merch for. Q: What books do you wish had more merch? //CHALLENGES// #booksarepugaliciousmay21 - V.E.

⚔️ BOOK TOUR ⚔️ Q: When did you first discover your favourite authors? I remember the first time I found a @mariavsnyderwrites book. I was on a family holiday in Melbourne in 2008 or 2009 and had run out of books to read. I found Poison Study in a local bookstore and started it as soon as I got to my aunt's house. I was up until 3am reading because I couldn't put it down 😅 In the 12 years since, I've reread Poison Study at least six times. Every Maria V Snyder book I've read (so, basically all of them) has been just as addictive! I'm a massive fan so you can imagine how ecstatic I was when I found out I'd been selected to be part of The City of Zirdai book tour! 🤩 Archives of the Invisible Sword is Maria V Snyder's latest fantasy series and I 👏 LOVE 👏 IT 👏. It's new adult and set in one of the most unique fantasy worlds I've ever read. The plot moves quickly and steadily from the very first chapter, with lots of Indiana Jones vibes, political power struggles, action, and mystery. I could spend all day gushing over it, especially the seamless world building 😍 Book two, The City of Zirdai, will be on sale from June! I strongly encourage you to start this series if you haven't already 😊 The first book is The Eyes of Tamburah. I have a full review for both books coming soon, but for now you just need to know I love it. You can find the synopsis for both books in my stories 😊 Thank you @readthebooktours for having me on this tour and @harpercollinsaustralia for sending me The City of Zirdai! //CHALLENGES// #BookHitchhikersMay21 - Heart or Crown? #MayFire21 - Small: A Constant Comforting Presence #MyFandomObsessionsMay21 - Seven-league boots: journeys #theofficeepisodesmay21 - Niagara: your favorite OTP of all time #bombbooks521 - Get Rich Quick #RFABMay21 - Recent Purchase //HASHTAGS// #faveauthors #booktour #invisiblesword #archivesoftheinvisiblesword #cityofzordai #eyesoftamburah #mariavsnyder #bookstagram #bookrec #bookrecommendations #bookstack #bookphoto #ausyabloggers #newadult #newadultfantasy #fantasybooks #booksandflowers #newbooks #bookblogger #bookstagrammer #auskiwibooksta #booklover #bookaddict #poisonstudy https://www.instagram.com/p/CPFmgwULXHx/?utm_medium=tumblr

Q: How many series do you have waiting on your TBR? I'm scared to count. I'm notorious for reading the first book, buying all the sequels on release but putting them off for YEARS until I do a big binge read... Renegades is just one of the series I have unfinished on my TBR //CHALLENGES// #MayFire21 - Raptor Monsters: Show No Mercy #bombbooks521 - Low Impulse Control (#CoverBuy) //HASHTAGS// #tbr #toberead #tbrpile #renegades #marissameyer #yalit #superheroes #unreadbooks #booklover #bookworm #bookish https://www.instagram.com/p/CPYAm5ULKWW/?utm_medium=tumblr

Q: Do you notice you have a lot of books in one color?. Today's #Illumicrate Photo Challenge is Book Pot & Red Books - and it was a fun scavenger hunt to find red books or red sprayed edges on my shelves! I had more than I thought! I don't organize my books my color, alas I just don't have the room, but I think that might be a fun way to organize, one day. Also, hey look, new photo location! Maybe? I don't know, I was feeling it for this photo though so we're going with it for now. Maybe more photos here in the future? And yes, that is a Mortal Instruments City of Bones movie poster on my wall. I have a brand and I'm sticking with it. #ILLUMICRATEAPR2021 #BombBooks521 - Book you haven't featured in a while #mayfire21 - You love whomever you love Tags: #DearlyDeparted #illumicrateunboxing #illumicratephotochallenge #booklovers #BookSubscriptionBox #SubscriptionBox #Unboxing #StackingTheShelves #specialeditionbooks #bookishaesthetic #bookishmerch #bookmerch #boostingya #InTheRavenousDark #BookReadHappyhour #tumblesoverbooks #BookPot #FearYourNovelChapter #bookstackchallenge #bookstacklove https://www.instagram.com/p/CPVg1AyLS-w/?utm_medium=tumblr

📖 Book Review: Legendary by Stephanie Garber YA fantasy. Book 2 in the Caraval trilogy. Swipe for my full thoughts, but TLDR; Legendary was a great sequel. It continued the magic of the first book while introducing us to the wider Caraval world. I cannot wait to see how the plot unfolds in Finale.

📖 Book Review: Caraval by Stephanie Garber YA Fantasy. First book in the Caraval series. Swipe for my full thoughts, but TLDR; I completely forgot how much I enjoyed this book! It has such fascinating characters and a mysterious sinister undertone that really swept me away. I couldn’t get enough.

📖 Book Review: Wildcard by Marie Lu YA sci fi. Second book in the Warcross duopoly. Swipe for my full thoughts, but TLDR; This duology was SO GOOD overall and this ending was great. It explores some fascinating (and terrifying) aspects of technology in a story filled with action, mystery, and complex characters. Do recommend. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AND as a complete side not (if anyone is still reading down here), I just released some new bookmarks on my Etsy store!! They’re new designs from some of my very first bookmarks, specifically my stag, fox, and TBR abyss bookmarks!
