ℚ𝕆𝕋𝔻: What role in Squad 312 would you want . . . Alpha, Face, Ace, Brain, Gearhead, Tank, or Mystery Girl?! ⁣ ⁣ I think I’d want to be the Brain because they are the medical officers. Zila (aka the Brain for Squad 312) is one of my favorite characters in The Aurora Cycle series. Her and Fin are the best!! I also would love to borrow Zila’s earrings! ⁣ ⁣ ✨ #MythicAugustReads Day 30: Ogo - rebel character✨⁣ ⁣ #squad312 #aurorarising #auroraburning #theauroracycle #scifi #rebel #rebellious #rebelcharacter #booksofig #unitedbookstagram #bookdragon #bookloversofinstagram #bookpics #bookcommunity #allthebooks⁣ #photochallenge #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookstagrammer #bookblog #bookreviewer #booknerd #booklover #bookworm #instareads https://www.instagram.com/p/CEg95eqgec6/?igshid=1tm3qxq54ets6

🍦#31FlavorsofBooksJuly Day 24: Gimmie S’more - Book You Want More Of ⁣ ⁣ I should redo today’s prompt to be “book you NEED more of!”⁣ ⁣ I had heard that the ending of Aurora Burning was rough, but man did I not fully realize what I was getting myself into. The cliffhanger ending of Aurora Burning is BRUTAL. Even by Jay Kristoff standards! I read this back in May and I’m still not recovered!! I need the next book ASAP. I know it won’t come out until next May, but dang this wait is rough. ⁣ ⁣ Have you tortured yourself *I mean read* Aurora Burning yet? ⁣ ⁣ PS: check out page 62 to find my name in Aurora Burning! I won a contest from Amie! ⁣ ⁣ #theauroracycle #aurorarising #auroraburning #squad312 #jaykristoff #amiekaufman #cliffhanger #booksaremagic #alwaysreading #bookwormsunite #bookishaesthetic #allthebooks #photochallenge #bookishphotochallenge #talesofanavidreader #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookstagrammer #bookblog #bookreviewer #booknerd #booklover #bookworm #instareads https://www.instagram.com/p/CDB1avjA4nA/?igshid=1isirwk3bmhq4

#BookishFlowersMay20 Day 5: Dahlia - Cinco de Mayo! Did you know that the dahlia is the national flower of Mexico?!⁣ ⁣ Happy Cinco de Mayo!! I have to work tonight so I won’t be celebrating, but I’m probably going to order Chipotle to get their free queso! ⁣ ⁣ I’m so excited because my favorite sci-go writing duo is back! It’s Aurora Burning release day! I am so beyond excited to dive into it! Aurora Rising was one of my favorite reads from last year. It’s exciting, action-packed, and funny! Amie and Jay are geniuses! I can’t wait to go on another crazy adventure with Squad 312! ⁣ ⁣ One of the reasons why I am extra is excited is because I won a contest Amie hosted for donating to the Australia fires. My name is going to be somewhere in Aurora Burning! Amie said I would either be evil or killed and I am so excited to find out! I can’t wait to find my name!!! ⁣ ⁣ #aurorarising #auroraburning #squad312 #theauroracycle #jaykristoff #amiekaufman #scifi #spaceadventures #newbooktuesday #photochallenge #bookishphotochallenge #bookstagramphotochallenge #cincodemayo #bookishflowers #talesofanavidreader #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookstagrammer #bookblog #bookreviewer #booknerd #booklover #bookworm #instareads https://www.instagram.com/p/B_0hOI0gs14/?igshid=1pc2pw4w8924i

Do you have any favorite signed books??⁣ ⁣ It should come as no surprise but my signed copies of Kingdom of Ash and Crescent City by Sarah J. Maas are totally some of my favorites. However, one of the coolest signed books I own is from the Aurora Rising tour last year. ⁣ ⁣ @amiekaufmanauthor was nine months pregnant during the Aurora Rising tour, so @misterkristoff went on tour with special guests (who hilariously had to read a letter from Amie in an Australian accent). We all got the choice of a stamped signature from Amie with just her normal signature or this awesome IOU from Amie. I obviously chose the IOU. I think it’s such a fun way to include Amie even though she was stuck at home. And then next time Jay & Amie go on tour I’m definitely cashing in my IOUs (I also got it stamped in my copy of Illuminae)! ⁣ ⁣ This was one of the most fun book events I’ve been to! It’s so fun to look at this signature and remember how much fun we all had! ⁣ ⁣ This weekend was both emotionally and physically taxing at work. I’m so lucky that I’m not taking care of covid patients, but dang this whole situation is so stressful even in a NICU! These past two days have been a much needed break! I’m hoping to finish up The Court of Miracles soon!⁣ ⁣ #amiekaufman #jaykristoff #aurorarising #auroraburning #theauroracycle #squad312 #illuminae #theilluminaefiles #sarahjmaas #theworldofsarahjmaas #signedbooks #authorsignings #booksigning #talesofanavidreader #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookstagrammer #bookblog #bookreviewer #booknerd #booklover #bookworm⁣ https://www.instagram.com/p/B_N0gHiAtPV/?igshid=pwac9hiz41qe

What was the last book you couldn’t put it down? . I’ve finally processed my thoughts about Aurora Rising to write a (semi)coherent review! Thank you so much to @getunderlined for the eARC ❤️ . I went into Aurora Rising with sky-high expectations after The Illuminae Files (and all of their other amazing books). And yet this book still somehow still exceeded them. So here are my top five reasons to read Aurora Rising! . 1) It blends science fiction and magic in a brilliant way and the world-building is FANTASTIC. 2) #SquadGoals I just adored every member of the squad and how they came together. It was such a joy to watch! Plus all of the characters were so well-developed. 3) Excellent pacing. This book just flew by and it was a struggle to put it down. 4) The humor! I love when a book can make me laugh and then make me tear up a few pages later. 5) Just read this book, I promise you won’t regret it. (But if you need a real fifth reason, there’s a sassy AI and some truly excellent world-building notes in between chapters. Which include a princess bride reference) . In case you couldn’t guess, Aurora Rising gets a full five stars from me! I can’t wait for it to come out on May 7th (and to see @misterkristoff at Yall West!) . . #aurorarising #amiekaufman #jaykristoff #theauroracycle #sciencefiction #getunderlined #yabooks #booksandtea #booksbooksbooks #reader #readersofig #readersofinsta #bookishlove #bookishfeature #bookphotography #ebooks #bookreview #bookrecommendation https://www.instagram.com/p/BwVwbBmHy9J/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dpy6mcup1dnj
