The award for the weirdest book I've read this year goes to....The Bees! This book was as captivating as it was strange. And by strange I mean that ALL OF THE CHARACTERS WERE BEES. And bees do some weird things. It was wild. It was a good book, but a weird one. What's the weirdest book you've read? #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #unitedbookstagram #reading #bibliophile #booklove #booklover #ilovereading #ilovebooks #SAreaders #bookblogger #booksofinstagram #bookstagramsouthafrica #bookstagramafrica #bookstagramza #booksbooksbooks #whatIread #igreads #bookphotography #thebees #bees #sunflowers #spring (at Cape Town, Western Province, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9hSNHagVFZ/?igshid=6omh2m61w5l4

I recently finished A Darker Shade of Magic and although I enjoyed it a lot, it didn't quite live up to the hype for me. I think if I read this a few years ago I would have been completely obsessed but my reading tastes have changed over time! How did you find ADSoM? #adarkershadeofmagic #veschwarb #fantasy #fantasybooks #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #unitedbookstagram #reading #bibliophile #booklove #booklover #ilovereading #ilovebooks #SAreaders #bookblogger #booksofinstagram #bookstagramsouthafrica #bookstagramafrica #bookstagramza #booksbooksbooks #whatIread #igreads #bookphotography (at Cape Town, Western Cape) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE4Tf98g-VD/?igshid=9ixlu0pn4xt2

The Bedlam Stacks took me by complete surprise in the best possible way. I started reading it thinking 'ugh another colonialism book' but the more I read the more I found myself falling in love with the story. It wasn't completely unproblematic, but the magical realism and the setting were breathtaking. It was one my favourite books in February!

It's an unwritten bookstagram rule that if you have a book with a rose on it and you happen to have a rose on hand, you need to post a picture of that book and rose. I'm just kidding, of course! What are the unwritten bookstagram 'rules' that you've noticed? #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #unitedbookstagram #reading #bibliophile #booklove #booklover #ilovereading #ilovebooks #SAreaders #bookblogger #booksofinstagram #bookstagramsouthafrica #bookstagramafrica #bookstagramza #booksbooksbooks #whatIread #igreads #bookphotography #thissavagesong #veschwarb #roses #fantasy #paranormalfantasy (at Cape Town, Western Province, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9redjkAsKH/?igshid=1j848ulmz26hm

Small confession: the faces on these covers freak me out just a tiny bit. I just finished reading Only Human and I was really impressed by how this trilogy developed and came to a conclusion. Science fiction has been such a joy to rediscover and I can't wait to read more of it. What's your favourite sci-fi book? #themisfiles #onlyhuman #wakinggods #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #unitedbookstagram #reading #bibliophile #booklove #booklover #ilovereading #ilovebooks #SAreaders #bookblogger #booksofinstagram #bookstagramsouthafrica #bookstagramafrica #bookstagramza #booksbooksbooks #whatIread #igreads #bookphotography #sciencefiction #scifi (at Cape Town, Western Province, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8mWeN8A3L1/?igshid=5nag02vpcr5j

There is nothing more satisfying than a complete collection of books, all exactly the same size and in the same edition 😍 I recently finished this trilogy and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it! There was nothing exceptional or new about it, but the reading experience was overall very satisfying and left just enough mystery for me to want to read more by the author. It's set in an alternate universe where people are either Skilled or not, and people who aren't Skilled are forced to spend 10 years of their lives serving their Skilled rulers. It's an interesting read for sure!

It's really difficult to find books about characters who are in their early-mid 20s. Which is such a shame, because this stage of life is full of so many ups and downs! What are your favourite books that feature characters who are young adults? I'm hoping to compile a list for my blog! #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #unitedbookstagram #reading #bibliophile #booklove #booklover #ilovereading #ilovebooks #SAreaders #bookblogger #booksofinstagram #bookstagramsouthafrica #bookstagramafrica #SAreader #bookstagramza #labgirl #YA #youngadult #yaliterature #bookstagramafrica #inferior (at Cape Town, Western Cape) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwZCTscnfsv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ay2l04a5ciue
