Harry Potter has been there for me through the good and the bad times of my life. It has been a support and friend for me throughout my life. I know this may be an unpopular opinion, but I cannot give up on Harry Potter. I am however giving up on J. K. Rowling. Her hateful words are unacceptable. She does not deserve to have a platform in which she spreads hate. Trans Lives Matter. ⁣ ⁣ So in the future, if I buy any Harry Potter related merchandise — for example I will finish buying the Ravenclaw house editions and the illustrated editions to complete my sets — I will at minimum match the cost of the purchase and donate this amount to The Trevor Project. I’ve already done this with a donation to cover the copy of the Ravenclaw Order of the Phoenix edition that just arrived last week. I don’t share this to pat my own back, but rather to hold myself accountable. ⁣ ⁣ From this point forward, I will not be supporting any of J. K. Rowling’s other projects. I have ignored her anti-trans messages for far too long. I am done with J. K. Rowling. ⁣ ⁣ Harry Potter is a story of hope, love, friendship, and kindness. I will NOT let J.K. Rowling ruin this message. She may have created this world but IT BELONGS TO US!!⁣ ⁣ I do understand both sides of choosing whether or not to be done with Harry Potter. I respect what choice you’ve made and I welcome discussion. ⁣ ⁣ #harrypotter #translivesmatter #transpride #thetrevorproject #talesofanavidreader #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookstagrammer #bookblog #bookreviewer #booknerd #booklover #bookworm #instareads⁣ #ravenclaw #ravenclawpride https://www.instagram.com/p/CBRLWzXAJtU/?igshid=1bwiadma3pv01

“𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘦'𝘴 𝘴𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘦. 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯. 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳.”⁣ ⁣ I know I’m late to the party, but damn Serpent & Dove was so good!! Totally one of my favorite reads from 2019! ⁣ ⁣ Serpent & Dove was definitely a little predictable and had a slow burn yet slightly insta love romance. HOWEVER, it was still amazing. I loved the story so much. Lou and Reid = swoon! My favorite part was the witches and covens. I can’t wait to spend more time with the witches and learn more about the different covens in the sequel! ⁣ ⁣ #serpentanddove #shelbymahurin #bookreview #favoritebooks #talesofanavidreader #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookstagrammer #bookblog #bookreviewer #booknerd #booklover #bookworm https://www.instagram.com/p/B7EtxmagptX/?igshid=xc7xn5ntj2eb

I was instantly reminded of how incredible this series is (and how stunning the covers are)! Laini Taylor is truly an artist. She creates the most beautiful stories full of lyrical prose and stunning world building. I’ve loved both series from her and I can’t wait to see what she creates next!!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Laini is definitely one of my favorite authors. I had to absolute pleasure of meeting her last year at Book Con! I still can’t believe that I did!⁣⁣ Who are some of your favorites?

I am so excited for the netflix adaptations of Along for the Ride, Once and For All, and This Lullaby by @sdessen! Sarah Dessen’s books were one of the reasons I fell in love with reading back in middle/high school. The Truth About Forever is my favorite of hers and it remains one of all time favorite books to this day. ⁣ ⁣ #sarahdessen #thetruthaboutforever #sarahdessennetflix #contemporaryya #talesofanavidreader #bookstagram #bookstagramfeature #booksofinstagram #bookstagrammer #bookishfeature #bookishfeatures #readingstyles #mybookfeatures #bookblog #bookreviewer #booknerd #booklover #bookworm #ireadya https://www.instagram.com/p/Bys5ADjgDuU/?igshid=t6j2gunf1qol
