royally crazy

I've just finished reorganizing my shelves today, and wow, it was hella tiring. How do you organize your bookshelves? (e.g. by colors, by read/unread etc.) Mine method is kind of a clusterfuck of dividing by genres, favorites, colors & trying to place them in a way that looks well together. 😂 • • challenges: #julybookstagram18 {want to reread} #readwinjuly18 {big books - Gemma Doyle trilogy} • • #book #bookish #instagram #instaread #instabook #bookstagram #booknerdigans #bookphotography #bookpic #bookporn #mybookfeatures #booksofig #bookblogger #read #reading #reader #ya #youngadult #historical #fantasy #libbabray #paperback #mystery

Have you read anything by Jennifer Mathieu? She has three books out - The Truth About Alice, Devoted and Moxie and I love them all to pieces. The following quote is from Moxie, which is probably my favorite by her. • • "This is what it means to be a feminist. Not a humanist or an equalist or whatever. But a feminist. It's not a bad word. After today it might be my favorite word. Because really all it is is girls supporting each other and wanting to be treated like human beings in a world that's always finding ways to tell them they're not." • • challenges: - #bookstagramtogetherjuly {favorite quote} - #julywithbooks18 {outdoors} • • #ya #youngadult #jennifermathieu #book #bookstagram #bookfeature #bookblogger #read #reading #reading #bookporn #bookgram #instabook #instaread #booknerdigans #bookphotography #bookpic #bookphoto #booklover #yalit #yabooks #instagram

THE LANGUAGE OF THORNS is hands down one of the most magical and atmospheric novels I've ever read. Yes, it is related to Six of Crows & the Grisha series BUT it can be 1000% read on its own. Have you read it? Also, are you excited for King of Scars?? I haven't read the Grisha trilogy, still can't help but be super-excited after seeing that stunning gold cover. -V. • • • #bookstagramtogetherjuly {book I got as a present} #readwinjuly18 {cover love} • • • #read #reading #reader #bookstagram #instagram #instabook #instaread #leighbardugo #booknerdigans #book #bookphoto #bookpic #bookphotography #bookish #bookporn #book #ya #fantasy #magic #youngadult #bookgram #bookstagramfeature

One of the next books on my tbr is RADIO SILENCE by Alice Oseman, closely followed by her most recent release I WAS BORN FOR THIS. Have you read either? Perhaps, something else by the author? - V. • • • day 24 of #junebookstagram18 {rainbow} • • #book #bookstagram #bookish #booknerdigans #booksofig #bookporn #bookphotography #bookgram #bookworm #read #reading #reader

I've talked about UPROOTED here before, but I couldn't help but bring it in again. It is high time for a reread to get ready for Naomi Novik's new novel, coming in July. Its title is Spinning Silver, and was inspired by Rumplestiltskin. Are ya'll excited? What other summer realeases are you looking forward to? - V. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 Daily Challenges: - #bookreadhappyhour: Epic World Building - #geekyglowreadsinspring: Rainy Day Reads - #maybookstagram18: High or Urban Fantasy?

Day 23 of #maybookstagram18 - Lyrical or Simple Prose? * * * It depends on my mood, I like both. Although, it is annoying when a book has really flowery language but no real plot or character development whatsoever. What do you think? * * * * Moxie by @authorjenmathieu is a fantastic & empowering contemporary in which the heroine, Viv, finds her voice and stands up for what she believes in. One of my top favorite books, so READ IT if you haven't yet. 😍 - V. * * * * #book #bookish #reading #feminism #girlpower #girlssupportgirls #read #reader #reading #bookblogger #booknerd #avidreader #yalovin #yabook #yalit #bookstagram #instabook #instaread #bookphoto #bookpic

Day 20 of #maybookstagram18 - Thriller or Horror? * Hmm, probably both? Although, lately I've been really into mystery- and psychological-thrillers. If all goes according to plan, The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty one of my next mystery reads. - V. * * * Have you read anything by the author? Are you more of a thriller or horror person?

Day 20 of #maybookstagram18 - Thriller or Horror? * * BOTH! Although, lately I've been really into mystery thrillers + psychological thrillers.

Today's #aprilbookstagram18 challenge is 'Oldest Book on My Shelf' and wow, is my memory bad! I've gotten rid of some of my older novels that I no longer liked, so I'm really unsure which book is the oldest, BUT the Wolves of Mercy Falls novels (at least the first three) are between my oldest books.

I'm preparing something special on the blog. Something that is making me reread A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. 👀🤐 •• •• Have you read anything by Libba Bray? I've read all but one of her books, and she's easily one of my favorite authors. •• •• #read #reading #reader #avidreader #book #bookaddict #booknerdigans #bookish #beatthebacklist2018 #blog #blogger #bookpic #bookphoto #bookphotography #historicalfiction #ya #yalovin #flower #fantasy #magic #mystery
