Happy Saturday! 💛 • Today the weather was so gorgeous! I spent the entire afternoon outside reading. I started Where’d You Go, Bernadette today, and so far I’m loving! 🎉 • I realized, though, that I never shared with y’all the books I received for my birthday last month! I’m so excited to read all three of these gorgeous books that have been on my TBR for so long. Have you read any of these? 📚 . . . . . {#bookstagram #bookstack #ringer #heartless #thebluecastle instabook #reader #booklover #bookworm #bookstagrammer #igreads #instabook #reading #read #igbooks #bookphotography #booknerd #bookworm #bookaholic #booknerdigan #booknerdigans #bookaddict #bibliophile #booklover} https://www.instagram.com/thecalicobooks/p/BwNrNtVnyEP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1su1r6pif074n

I am almost done with 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐞 by L.M. Montgomery, and it is shaping up to be a 5 🌟 read. Of course when @naturallystephperkins recommends a romance book, I just know it’ll be that perfect combination of unexpected, delightful swoonyness. - 📚. “The trouble with you dears is that you don’t laugh enough.” - 📚. 𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐬 - An unforgettable story of courage and romance. Will Valancy Stirling ever escape her strict family and find true love? - 📚. All her life, Valancy Stirling lived on a quiet little street in an ugly little house and never dared to contradict her domineering mother and her unforgiving aunt. Then she gets a letter―and decides that very day things need to change. For the first time in her life, she does exactly what she wants to and says exactly what she feels. - 📚. At first her family thinks she's gone around the bend. But soon Valancy discovers more surprises and adventure than she ever thought possible. She also finds her one true love and the real-life version of the Blue Castle that she was sure only existed in her dreams... - 📚. 📚. 📚. #thebluecastle #lmmontgomery #sourcebooks #booktuber #bookstagram #contemporaryathon #tbr #currentlyreading #classicbooks #bookish #romancebooks https://www.instagram.com/sophieriggsby/p/Bt4A16fHJLO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c3u7pvv6wuvy

— The Blue Castle//L.M Montgomery

On International Book Day I thought I’d post the favourite book of my whole life - an LM Montgomery book from my childhood called the “blue Castle” first published in 1929 - this is the same copy from my childhood that was published in 1972 and as you can tell was very well used - it only takes a couple hours to read and when I was younger if I was feeling blue I’d read it - it’s the story of a 29 year old “old maid” who had never had anyone ever love her until she finally meets a dark and stormy and swarthy stranger. It sounds like a harlequin romance - I don’t think it is but I don’t know because I’ve never read one :) - if you are not from around where I live LM Montgomery wrote the Anne of Green Gables series but I like to think her other books are much better - this one in particular is awesome #internationalbookday #books #booksofinstagram #anneofgreengables #thebluecastle #princeedwardisland #lmmontgomery #novascotia #oldbooks #dogkisserinternationalheadquarters (at Dogkisser International Headquarters)
