QOTD: Have you read any standalones recently? I've been reading a lot of romance which means a lot of standalone companion novels! I need to get back into the YA/ Fantasy standalones (which may just begin with a Scorpio Races reread 😄) Bookmark designed by me 😊 This is probably my favourite of my first lot of designs I did for fun (though that might just have been beaten by a Daughter of Smoke and Bone and ACOTAR ones I made the other day 🤔). It has changed a little bit since I took this photo 😅 These aren't for sale (...yet) but if you would like one shoot me a message to let me know you're interested 😉 //CHALLENGES// #LMSDecember2020 - Fierce females #RFABDec20 - Bookmark #TheSelectionDec20 - The Selection: Book with a competition #BestReadsof2020 - Best swoonworthy hero //HASHTAGS// #maggiestiefvater #standalone #thescorpioraces #bookmark #bookmarks #bookquote #ScorpioRaces #bookstagram #bookmerch #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #ausyablogger #bibliophilebuzz #auskiwibooksta #ausbookishfeatures https://www.instagram.com/p/CIRWE73AvUn/?igshid=3q0emdoq2bo1

QOTD: Have you ever taken a book stack of a series only to realise after you edit that you arranged the books in the WRONG ORDER????? 😩 This photo is bugging me because I got books 2 and 3 mixed around 😅. Yes, I am 100% that person who will rearrange books in a bookstore so the series is in the correct order 🙈. I also cannot bear to tear my series apart for the sake of pretty shelves. In other news I love this series and hope to reread it soon(ish) //CHALLENGES// #LMSDecember2020 - Hope to read #RFABDec20 - December TBR #AmpersandDec20 - TBR #AMagicalDecember2020 - Belle’s Library: December #TBR #BookNerdsAndFriends - Holiday Cheer: December TBR //HASHTAGS// #penrynandtheendofdays #endofdays #angelfall #worldafter #paperback #bookstack #susanee #reread #underratedbooks #bibliophilebuzz #bookdragon #angelbooks #postapocalyptic #yalit #yafiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CIP9MGQAnPA/?igshid=2k8wj98l0t2

QOTD: Tell me your underated fave character from Throne of Glass? Or if you haven't read it, your favourite underrated character in general. Mine is always Elide. She kind of flies under the radar because she's quieter but she's so brave and smart and strong in a different way to the brazen, confident nature of Aelin, Manon, and Lysandra. Everyone underestimates her. Plus I love the romance with Lorcan a lot 🥰 #reppost Featured Candle: Terrasen, #gifted from @sparkandsparrowperth I'm counting down the days until my tin of this arrives so I can start burning this candle! I don't want to burn the only one I have yet 😂. The scent is SO GOOD, I love the citrus in it a lot. Keen to get yourself some candles? I have a link in the S+S store in my Linktree.

QOTD: Do you have any pirate book recs? I want them! Pirates books are usually fun read but not something I seel all that often, even though I love historical fiction. I've read Devil's Ballast, Steel, I guess Seige & Storm partially counts... //CHALLENGES// #CourtOfReading - Winter on the cover (I mean... it's blue?) #RFABDec20 - Blue & White (shh it's navy blue) #AlltheBooksDec20 - Last reads of 2020 //HASHTAGS// #piratebooks #devilsballast #ya #youngadultfiction #yabooks #paperback #booksandflowers #megcaddy #annebonny #calicojack #bookworm #loveozya #auskiwibooksta #bibliophilebuzz #bookphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/CI1kDChAezc/?igshid=4ch2c3u1fcio

📖 Book Review: We Are Blood and Thunder by Kesia Lupo YA fantasy standalone. An ARC was sent by the publisher (@bloomburyya) to @happyindulgence in exchange for an honest review. She passed it on to me to read and review. Swipe for my full thoughts, but TLDR; This was a fun fantasy read 😊 The last part in particular was amazing! I liked the magic system and the characters but do felt a lot more of the lore and history could have been explored more. //CHALLENGES// #RFABDec20 - Fantasy Friday #ChristmasXBookshelves20 - Long books //HASHTAGS// #booktineusreview #bookreview #review #wearebloodandthunder #kesialupo #yafantasy #auskiwibooksta #aussiebookstagrammer #bookblogger #reviewbok #yalit #bookreviewer #fantasybooks #standalone https://www.instagram.com/p/CIsZKXfgDXQ/?igshid=124n4qvlvhndi
