📖 Book Review: Ruined by Amy Tinterra. YA fantasy. First book in the Ruined trilogy. Swipe for my full thoughts, but TLDR; I loved this fast paced YA fantasy. While I wished it explored more of the world and Ruined, it was still a great read. I could barely put it down. I cannot wait to finally read the sequels and am kicking myself for putting them off for so long.

QOTD: Which SJM couple is your favourite? Or if you haven't read any Sarah J Maas books, tell me one of your other favourite fictional couples. I love them all, especially the Throne of Glass couples. But I must say my top faves are Elide and Lorcan and I'm sad we only got to see their interactions in two books. I would read an entire series just about them. #reppost This booksleeve and fabric bookmark were #gifted from @craft_of_stars. the booksleeve actually buttons closed!! I love this design so much. Get yourself a booksleeve or fabric bookmark at the Craft of Stars store (link in my bio) and use BOOK10 at checkout to save! There is also a giveaway going on! Check out the latest Craft of Stars post for all the entry details. But essentially Jess wants to know how you use your CoS items! #mycraftofstars are used in a few different ways. My mermaid pouch (from a self care pack) is used to store my @booktineusbookmarks, and this Terrasen booksleeve is currently used to store all my CoS scrunchies 😂😂 //CHALLENGES// #AmpersandFeb21 - Love #gothandliterature - Prophecy #LMSFebruary2021 - Book Girlfriends #MyFandomObsessionsFeb21 - Aslan: true love #queensoffebruary - Swoon-worthy romance #Bookishbellesfeb21 - Genre Spotlight: Romance #starsinthedark - a slow burning flame #BookBookOwlFruityFebruary - Choc Dipped Strawberries: Romance #arcflames21 - OTP you don't talk about enough #RFABFeb21 - Valentine's Day //HASHTAGS// #sarahjmaas #bookmerch #booksleeve #bookmark #throneofglass #tog #bookstagram #popularbooks #OTP #hardback #hardcover #bookstack #craftofstars #auskiwibooksta #yafantasy #bookstagram #bookphotos #booknerdigan https://www.instagram.com/p/CLRQlwoA5lj/?igshid=71to48q6f1ip

QOTD: Tell me one of your favourite underrated authors JULIET MARILLIER!!!! She writes beautiful historical fantasy novels, almost all of them featuring meddling fae and folklore. I own almost everything she's written now (Exclusing some anthologies) and only have the Fortriu trilogy and Foxmask to finish. Her standalone, Heart's Blood, is my ALL TIME FAVOURITE Beauty and the Beast retelling. //CHALLENGES// #arcflames21 - You'd love to visit #Bookishbellesfeb21 - A Royal Romance #gothandliterature - Cursed #MyFandomObsessionsFeb21 - Sons of Adam, Daughters of Eve: prophecy #queensoffebruary - Atmospheric #starsinthedark - don’t leave me now #BookBookOwlFruityFebruary - Cumquat: Underrated book //HASHTAGS// #underratedbooks #julietmarillier #theharpofkings #warriorbards #adancewithfate #faebooks #faeriesbooks #fae #historical fantasy #goodbooks #aussieauthor #bookrec #bookrecs #bookrecommendation #auskiwibooksta #ausyabloggers #ausbookishfeatures https://www.instagram.com/p/CLOrImRAlOK/?igshid=18jh3xukvcpx9

QOTD: What are you reading? I'm exhausted and just realised I'm posting the same photo here and on my bookmark account (@booktineusbookmarks) today. 🙈 OOPS. But it's a good time to mention that my Etsy store is having a sale! 15% off the entire store if you're based in Australia. Link to the store is in my bio ☺️ To answer the question, I'm currently reading Avenged, the sequel to Ruined by Amy Tinterra (a review of which will be posted soon), and I'm rereading The Viscount Who Loved Me for the second time already this year... //CHALLENGES// #AmpersandFeb21 - Pleasant surprise #BooknerdFeb21 - Tissue Thursday #MedievalFeb - Princess #MyFandomObsessionsFeb21 - Queen Lucy the Valiant: young MCs #queensoffebruary - Epic fantasy #RFABFeb21 - Book & Bookmark #starsinthedark - heartrender #BookBookOwlFruityFebruary - Pear: Favourite couple //HASHTAGS// #theothersideofthesky #rattlethestars #throneofglass #booktineusbookmarks #terrasen #bookquote #reading #auskiwibooksta #prettybooks #booksandflowers #booksandmerch #bibliophile #ausyabloggers #aussiebookstagrammer https://www.instagram.com/p/CLthYpHAzo5/?igshid=1ovauq9w5jv2d

📖 Book Review: The Ever After by Amanda Hocking Final book in the Omte Origins trilogy. NA urban fantasy series. Thank you to @panmacmillan for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review. Swipe for my full thoughts, but TLDR; Overall this was a good conclusion to the Omte Origins and Trylle world. It was my favourite of the three, but it still felt like it never quite lived up to its full potential. Still a fun and easy to read series though.

Hello everyone!! The Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin is a series that I want to read in 2021 or at least start. I loved the show and I want to love the books too. I have read book 1 but it was awhile ago and I need to reread it. *** #queensoffebruary - Light & dark #readgushfeb21 - For the love of series #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #readingcommunity #bookishlife #bookstagramit #bookobsessed #bookstagrammademedoit #readingtogether #bookstack #readersofinsta #greekbookstagram #instavivlio #vivlio #diavazo #eucitesc #mybookfeatures #bdstars #bdloves #booklove  #booklovers #unitedbookstagram #bookishaesthetic #booknotes_athina (at Bucharest, Romania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLn6aomACUp/?igshid=3kom1d0oyu8j

QOTD: Do you use booksleeves? I... always forget them 😂 I don't usually take physical books with me when I leave the house (I'm more likely to listen to podcasts or audiobooks because I hate being interrupted while reading). I need to get better at using them even at home. #reppost Right now this @Craft_of_Stars booksleeve #gifted to me is being used to hold all my Craft of Stars scunchies 🤣 I do love that it's super padded and buttons closed though!! Get yourself some gorgous and usefull booksleeves from Craft of Stars and save with the code BOOK10! //CHALLENGES// #starsinthedark - I fight for me and mine #BookBookOwlFruityFebruary - Cherry: Genre you rarely read (I used to read YA fantasy A LOT but not last year...) #queensoffebruary - Author you want to meet (The Rose Gate release day!)

"The stars incline us, they do not bind us." Chloe Gong, These Violent Delights *** These Violent Delights is a heart-stopping imaginative Romeo and Juliet retelling set in 1920s Shanghai with rival gangs and a monster in the depths of the Huangpu River. First of all my favourite trope is in the book: Enemies to Lovers. Despite that I also liked the plot and the writing of the author. *** You can check out my full review on my blog Book Notes by Athina through the link in my bio. *** #PixieBookPix #queensoffebruary #readgushfeb21 #bookbookowlfruityfebruary #invokingbooks #courtofreading #whimsylandfeb21 #greekbookstagram #instavivlio #vivlio #diavazo #eucitesc #mybookfeatures #bdstars #bdloves  #booknotes_athina (at Bucharest, Romania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLQ261uAYie/?igshid=1tcveqcb3jkfu
