Q: Tell me a book on your TBR you're excited to get to I have SO MANY books on my TBR and I'm quite excited for most of them. Fable is one I can't wait to read because I LOVED Adrienne Young's first two books. I binge read both in one sitting. //CHALLENGES// #LMSMay2021 - #FantasyFriday #booksarepugaliciousmay21 - The Grishaverse: fictional world you'd like to live in #queensofmay - round the world //HASHTAGS// #fable #namesake #adrienneyoung #adrienneyoungbooks #flatlayfriday #bookstagrammer #tbrpile #tbr #fantasy #yafantasy #hardcover #bookcollection #bibliophilelife #bibliophilebuzz #reader #booksandscrunchies #booksta #bookphoto #bookdragon #readingislit #yalit #readmorebooks #auskiwibooksta #ausyabloggers #bookblogger #goodreads https://www.instagram.com/p/COkXAC5LKF7/?igshid=q83n26031n8i

Q: Have you ever been excited to edit a photo only to have it turn out ... not as great as you hoped? That was me with this photo! I was so proud of the fact that I drew this (look at me doing simple art!) and was exciting to add it to my store. Only to have my preset leech most of the bright green out of the postcard 😭 Swipe to see an unedited photo and a close up of the actual post card image. P.S. You can buy it and other new products on my Etsy now 😉 Link is in my bio 😊 //CHALLENGES// #BookHitchhikersMay21 - Flowers or Trees? #booksarepugaliciousmay21 - Hot chocolate: book that felt like a warm hug #queensofmay - multiple POVs #theofficeepisodesmay21 - Customer Survey: funny characters //HASHTAGS// #theravencycle #theravenboys #cabeswater #bookstagramfail #fictionalpostcards #bookstagrammer #bluesargent #gansey #ronanlynch #fanart #bookfanart #bookmerch #bookish #booknerd #bookstagrammer #reading #maggiestiefvater #bookishetsy #booksandflowers #bookaddicted #ravenboys #adamparrish #stuffimade #bookishart #thetreesspeaklatin #yabooks #yafantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/CO6QtzCr9dE/?igshid=t0zq1qjlbuf6

Q: What's the last book you read that hooked you right from the beginning?. I'm about 75% done with In The Ravenous Dark and I AM OBSESSED! Right from the beginning I was intrigued and the plot thickened as I read more and I've really been enjoying joining the @illumicrate readalong on Discord this month. Swipe to see the beautiful #skull enamel pin that was included in this months #Illumicrate box along with the gorgeous floral sprayed edges. And these bookmarks of the 4 major characters - stunning. I'll have a full review up on the blog once I finish, hopefully by the weekend, but WOW. THIS BOOK. It has blood magic, and undead spirits to guard those with magic (but not in a zombie way - I'm super picky with "undead" things, and thankfully this one is working for me!), a polyamorous m/f/f relationship, non-binary major supporting character, and its basically queer af with magic and blood and death. It's definitely upper YA or adult as there is blood (did I mention that yet?), gore, sex on page, plenty of cursing, some killing, you get the drift. But I'm delighted by it and don't know how I'll coherently write a proper review. #ILLUMICRATEAPR2021 #onesquarestory - Legacy #QueensofMay - Supernatural powers #wanderingmystical - Plot Tags: #DearlyDeparted #illumicratephotochallenge #booklovers #BookSubscriptionBox #SubscriptionBox #StackingTheShelves #specialeditionbooks #bookishaesthetic #enamelpins #enamelpin #bookishmerch #bookmerch #boostingya #InTheRavenousDark #BookReadHappyhour #tumblesoverbooks #romancebookstagram #newadultbookstagram #booksandflorals https://www.instagram.com/p/CPYLto7LyH1/?utm_medium=tumblr

Q: What was the last book you got in the mail?. I've actually had a few of my Waterstones orders arrive recently, but before that, my monthly Illumicrate box arrived with a book I'M SUPER EXCITED TO READ!. The April #Illumicrate box was pretty lit, not gonna lie, I really loved this one. I posted an unboxing video a few posts ago if you wanna see everything up-close, but I also wanted to take a photo for the #IllumicrateApr2021 photo challenge (which I'm behind on, but shhh, its ok.). In this months box, we had: ☠️ In The Ravenous Dark by @adrianne.strickland ☠️ Monthly Pin designed by @stacey.mcevoy.caunt ☠️ Book of the Dead book pot by @chattynora ☠️ 'Too Many Books' Nevernight Canvas Book Organizer by @rosdottir ☠️ Jacque's Mason Jar Glass (The Beautiful) by @thatslovelydearshop ☠️ Gideon the Ninth magnets by @_saintdri ☠️ Sickle Keyring w quote from Dread Nation by @palaceofresin AND! AND!!!! The pre-order incentives were also included in this box which was an amazing surprise! I adore these art nouveau-style bookmarks by @/shatteredmagic on Twitter, and the author letter/print portrait artwork of the main character & her two love interests by @winterofherdiscontent~. I've joined the @illumicrate readalong on Discord and it's been so much fun! I don't do readalongs too often, since I'm terrible at keeping pace but it's been enjoyable discussing as I read. #QueensofMay - Favorite cover #wildlylit - So much yes #booknookbingo - Person on the cover Tags: #DearlyDeparted #illumicrateunboxing #illumicratephotochallenge #booklovers #BookSubscriptionBox #SubscriptionBox #Unboxing #StackingTheShelves #specialeditionbooks #bookishaesthetic #maytbr #enamelpins #enamelpin #bookishmerch #bookmerch #boostingya #InTheRavenousDark #flowersandskulls #bookishflatlay https://www.instagram.com/p/CPTDlFvLUas/?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.

Q: Tell me some of your favourite fictional animal companions Grimalkin was one of my favourite characters in the Iron Fey novels! I can't wait to reread them and laugh at his antics all over again (and probably makes some bookmarks out of them, let's be honest). #RepPost Grim was one of the first Pops @madlycreationsau #gifted me in a rep pack! Grim isn't available at the moment, but Madi did just release a whole heap of stunning new Pops this weekend! You can save with the code BOOK10. Madi also has a kickstunner going for some quote pins! If you're a romance lover, chances are you'll want those pins. //CHALLENGES// #theofficeepisodesmay21 - Stress Relief: made you laugh so hard you couldn’t breathe #readingintheweb - grumpy/sunshine trope #queensofmay - small shop appreciation #MayFire21 - Fire's Fiddle: Bookish Gifts //HASHTAGS// #ironfey #custompops #grimalkin #theironKing #theIronFey #julikagawa #bookishmerch #bookstagram #auskiwibooksta #smallbookishbusiness #smallbookishshop #bookmerch #cat #cheshirecat #faeriebooks #booksandflowers #aussiebookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookaddict #bookish #bookblogger #ausyabloggers #meghanchase #yabooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CO-FYeSrGS0/?igshid=9mhhkr9dibjq
