🥰 hello again friends! What exciting books have

🥰 hello again friends! What exciting books have you added to your shelves lately?

*crickets chirping*

Welp LOOK WHO’S BACK... me!! Lmao first of all, I just wanna say that these images were bigger but this new update has changed the size and it be kinda annoying. Secondly I AM FINISHED WITH MY FIRST YEAR OF UNI 🥳

Well I think I am. I’m not aware of anything else that needs to be done hehe. I handed in my final assignment a few days ago and I’m done. Let vacation begin!! Love that I’m super bored and don’t know what to do with myself today but anyways 😆

Also finally took some new photos so now I can scream about how pretty the cover of ‘PUNCHING THE AIR’ by Ibi Zoboi & Yusef Salaam is 💖 @jbchildrens so kindly sent over a copy of this one a few weeks ago and I’m so excited to read it! Big thanks to them. All I know is that it’s told in verse and that’s about all I need to know 😌

Here’s to actually READING now and catching up on basically all of 2020 friends. I guess,,, pray for me. Great to see you all again 😉

Happy reading 📖

🌿 hello there friends! What have you been readi

🌿 hello there friends! What have you been reading lately and what are you currently reading?

Huh. So I,,, idk may have not posted for like a week. Not sure if you noticed. Also haven’t gotten round to responding to the comments yet welp. But I wanted to pop in and say hi. My life has been plagued with uni assignments aka essays all being shoved at me at the same time. Also have just been extremely exhausted lately. How are you all? 😅

The only bright-side is that the semester is almost finished and also its November. Which means it’s my birthday month eeeppp 🥳 anyways, I haven’t read anything this month yet, my mind is so preoccupied. Though I hope to soon 💕

Also, pictured is the @writetimecrate special edition 8oz CLACE candle which smells so divine. As well as the rune badge that was featured in the special edition box 🕯

Wishing you all a wonderful week. Happy reading 📖

✨hey hey friends! If you could do any kind of magic, what would it be?

— “𝐊𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐭”🩸

Happy Halloween friends 🎃 yes indeed today I am recreating my Kell cosplay. Or Lila idk you tell me. Lila is iconic so I’m not sure I could pull it off. I just love the red coat vibes. Though I wish for one that changes like Kell’s hehe ❤️🖤

If you haven’t read the ‘SHADES OF MAGIC’ trilogy by VE Schwab then ahhhh YOU MUST. I adore these books so so so much. I love the writing and the magic system. Did I mention the writing? Because WOW IT IS BEAUTIFUL. And I love the world and the characters and just EVERYTHING 😍

Anyways you seriously need to get on it. Wishing you all a wonderful day. Hope you’re doing something fun. I’m,,, lmao literally forgot today was the last day of the month. So maybe a Halloween-appreciate movie? Haha but still essays 🙃

Happy reading 📖

🥀 hi hello friends! What’s some exciting book

🥀 hi hello friends! What’s some exciting book mail you’ve received (or hauled) recently?

I hope you’re all doing super well. I’m coming towards the end of the semester which means... all my assignments are due around the same time. Luckily no exams *wipes brow* but the essays just keep on coming welp. So that’s literally all I’ve been working on this week. How about you? 😅

Yo so @jbchildrens have just been absolutely spoiling me! Literally just got some new mail today and I’m literally,,, so excited about all of them. Big thanks to them🤩

They ever so kindly sent me ‘GIRL, SERPENT, THORN’ by Melissa Bashardoust which sounds absolutely amazing. It’s a Persian- inspired fantasy that I hear has all the fairytale vibes. And also morally grey characters and a sapphic romance. I need to hear no more and am SO READY 😍

Sending all the love to you. Yes I am hoping you noticed my thorns in the background haha. Hope you all enjoy your Halloween tomorrow (I might appear idk yet) but wishing you a lovely time... of social distancing 😌

Happy reading 📖

👻 hey there friends! Do you have any spooky books you want to read before Halloween is over?

Welp sorry for disappearing for a second. Still haven’t managed to take any new photos yet 🙈 but I did read a lot so there’s that

Also yes I know... I STILL haven’t read ‘NINTH HOUSE’ by Leigh Bardugo. Lowkey just haven’t plucked up the courage because yes I am indeed a scaredy cat. But it is the @toppingthetbr book of the month so need to get on it asap. If you hadn’t heard, this one’s a dark academia set at Yale and has secret societies 🤩

Tysm to @jbchildrens for sending this copy my way!! Super excited to read it 🖤 And also featured is the @writetimecrate October Reading Crate tea which I can’t wait to try ✨

Hope you’re all doing well. I have quite the bit of essay writing to do this week so might be gone every now and again. But sending love 🥰

Happy reading 📖

🌊 hey there friends! What’s a book that hit you harder than you expected?

I omg have been waiting for AGES to talk about this book eeepp. So so so glad to be able to have in my hands because *clenches fist* this book is so so so good. I read it earlier this year as an eARC and participated in the blog tour, and ahhhh 😍😍

‘BEACH READ’ by Emily Henry is an adult romance that is equal parts fluffy and heartbreaking. It’s about these two writers dealing with writers block, we got a slightly enemies to lovers going on, that land up switching genres. I adored the romance, obviously, but what really stood out was the topic of grief ✨

Our main character just lost her father and lemme tell you this book almost made me cry. I’m quite close to my dad and I also was dealing with grief earlier this year. So just,,, 😭 The writing is also beautiful. Plus there’s banter. What more could you need? 💙

Biggest thanks to @penguinbookssouthafrica for sending this copy my way 🖊 I do have a review up on my blog already if you’d like to check that out. I so highly recommend xx

Sending you all the love friends. Happy reading 📖

☀️hey there friends! What are you up to this weekend?

Welp I for some reason have this terrible headache. Okay its not terrible but still irritating. But I’m away this weekend at the beach for my mum’s birthday, always a fun time. Though I have an assignment due by the end of Monday, going home tomorrow, but still need to get it finished 🙃

I also have however FINALLY gotten back to my reread of ‘AN EMBER IN THE ASHES’ by Sabaa Tahir. Yes it has been like two months but oh well. I don’t have that much left and woweeeee it is NOW starting to get super intense. And I’m absolutely LOVING it. But also a scared. More fun times 🤩

Hope you’re all having a swell time hehe. I’ve been kinda inactive here but only because I don’t have any photos lined up nor have I been feeling creative. This shot I did just take here though 😉

Happy reading 📖

🌈 hey there friends! Who are some of your favourite book couples?

Posting a tad late today oh well. I’ve had this extremely strange day today. You know those days that are full of life altering revelations? Yeah. Anyways, sending you all love and think I’m doing a lot better than I have been😌

I also just finished (re)reading ‘NICK AND CHARLIE’ by @aliceoseman which EEEEPPPP I LOVED. Possibly more a second time round. I only read it like... less than a year ago but my memory is terrible. And I just,,, honestly there were so many beautiful messages in here and I loved it a whole lot. It’s a novella set after Heartstopper and is simply BEAUTIFUL 😍

I hate to be repetitive but honestly the two of them are just SO CUTE. Charlie is a smol bean who deserves the world, as does Nick. The anxiety rep was absolutely AMAZING. I never expected to relate so much to such a small book. Did I mention I want the world for these two boys? 💖

Biggest thanks to @jbchildrens for sending the new paperback copy my way 💛 can we talk about this pretty yellow cover?! Definitely recommend to you all!

Sending you all love and hope your week started off well. Happy reading 📖
