Q: What are you currently reading? I'm (slowly) making my way through Kingdom of the Wicked and another book or two (an ebook and audiobook at the time I wrote this caption). P.S. that bookmark is not from LOTW. I’m using a Ruined one because the purple and drawings on it best matched the cover vibes 😅 //CHALLENGES// #RFABDec21 - Purple, Silver & Gold #KingdomoftheWicked #KOTW #KerriManiscalco #popularbooks #currentlyreading #readingupdate #bookworm https://www.instagram.com/p/CXyIUVrv9Ib/?utm_medium=tumblr

Q: Recommend me some of your favourite YA sci fi books! I love all of Amie Kaufman's sci fi projects, Skyward by Brandon Sanderson, and, of course, Warcross by Marie Lu. This Warcross bookmark is currently available in my Etsy shop @booktineusdesigns! I very specifically wanted peonies and rainbow to be a big part of the design. I'm kind of impressed with how it turned out. //CHALLENGES// #arcchristmas21 - Heroes vs. villains #RFABDec21 - Cover Buy #auskiwibooksta #Warcross #marielu #Wildcard #yascifi #yabooks #booknerdigans #reading #instaread #bookquote #yalit https://www.instagram.com/p/CXdbla8vpO9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Q: What have you been reading this week? I've been sucked into another series binge! I can't stop reading the Darkest London series by Kristen Callihan. I'm on the seventh and final book now. Annnnndd that series has nothing to do with the photo 😂 Though The Cheat Sheet is also a good, fun romance read! The Darkest London books combine everything I love about urban fantasy with historical romance, with a good dash of complex characters and mystery side plots. Out of the six I've read, two have been full 5 stars, two 4.5, and two 4 star reads! I'm excited and sad to get to the end of it. //CHALLENGES// #BookishBellesDec21 - Together: Found Family #RFABDec21 - Currently Reading #bombbooks1221 - Wait for It… #TheCheatSheet #bookrecs #bookjournal #bujo #readingjournal #SarahAdams #bookrecommendation #romancereader #romancebooks #bookstagrammer #ausbookishfeatures #ausyabloggers #bibliophile https://www.instagram.com/p/CXTDJ7Tvia6/?utm_medium=tumblr

📖 Book Review: The Girl with the Windup Heart YA historical fantasy/ steampunk. Book 4 in the Steampunk Chronicles. Swipe for my full thoughts, but TLDR; A nice ending to a series that’s filled with nostalgia with me. I enjoyed it overall and I don’t have any complaints about how everything wrapped up. If anything, I wish the story was split over two books. At least I wish Jack and Mila’s storyline was its own novel. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 //CHALLENGES// #RFABDec21 - Light vs Dark //HASHTAGS// #booktineusreview #bookreview #review #bookreviewer #bookblogger #ausyablogger #bookstagrammer #steampunk #steampunkchronicles #yalit #lookimunderrated #kadycross #backlistbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CXIycRFvTjK/?utm_medium=tumblr

Q: What are your favourite presents to gift your bookish friends? Aside from books 😂 This year, I've been giving some bookmarks as gifts! I design them which makes it easier, but I've had fun designing some cute customs for friends. Check out my Etsy store @booktineusdesigns if bookmarks are something you'd like to gift! I have a range of hand-lettered and illustrated designs for less well-known as well as popular books. //CHALLENGES// #BookishBellesDec21 - Christmas Wishes: Happy Endings #MyFandomObsessionsDec21 - Dune: a favorite book or series #RFABDec21 - Bookmark //HASHTAGS// #smallbizau #christmasgiftideas #giftideas #bookmarkshop #smallbookishbiz #bookquote #secondfirstimpressions #etsyseller #auskiwibooksta #aussiebookstagram #ausyabloggers https://www.instagram.com/p/CW-kdjGPUIZ/?utm_medium=tumblr
