Instagram post 2155369935910622895_5412814401 ❤️QOTD: who are your favourite Shadowhunter characters? - Hey hey hey there lovely people - Boy am I spoilt! The awesome peeps over at @jbchildrens very kindly (without my knowing might I add) gifted me with the paperback edition of ‘QUEEN OF AIR AND DARKNESS’ by @cassieclare1 🤩 Which um, hi, if you’re new here my name is Ruby and I’m obsessed and these series are my absolute faves *sweats* ➰ - But also my feed has been lacking the Shadowhunter love. I’m also constantly finding myself wanting to reread The Infernal Devices like all the time at this point. But like, obviously, I can’t because my emotions would malfunction. And well also the fact that my TBR is huge 🙊 - Anyways 😅 this book in specific is an actual brick and so much bigger than my trade-back version. This could be used as a murder weapon tbh 😂 And to answer my own question, my favourite character is OF COURSE Sir William Herondale and also Tessa Gray and Jem Carstairs became I’m basic whoops 😉 - I hope you’ve been having the most wonderful Tuesday and that you read all the books 📖 - - - - #shadowhunters #cassandraclare #thedarkartifices #queenofairanddarkness #paperback #bookstagramza #zabookstafeatures #reader#ilovebooks #bookphotographer #bookphotobookobsessed #vscobooks #bookphotography #bookish #yareads #prettybooks #bookstagrammer #igreads#beautifulbooks #bookstagram #igbooks #bibliophile #bookworm #booknerd
Instagram post 2152472940464114462_5412814401 ♠️QOTD: what are some series you want to start? - Hey there lovely people - How are you all doing? I’ve been super distant on here and haven’t been up to date with like anything. This week was hectic, plus today was my LAST day at school. I’ve also felt super weird and not myself idk why 😅 It’s just a lot. - Anyways, ever since I heard what ‘ACE OF SHADES’ by @amandafoody was about I’ve been dying to get to it. It sounds so epic. I know it’s sort of inspired by Las Vegas and has gangs, and street lords and con men. And obviously magic! Oh and I know the male protagonist is bisexual, which is super amazing, especially since it’s a fantasy novel where we don’t see representation often 🥰 - Basically I remember next to nothing but it gave me Six of Crows vibes and I cannot wait to read it 🤩 I’m actually going to buddy read this one with @theadventuresofgiz and probably the second one some time soon. I’ve missed buddy reads, this’ll be a great time 🙌🏻 - I hope you have a really awesome Friday. Expect me only to be on here when I get a chance for the next couple weeks. Just know I haven’t died, but am rather dying from studies (somebody put DEATH BY STUDYING on my tombstone please) whoops 😂 - Happy reading 📖 - - - - #aceofshades #amandafoody #theshadowgame #bookstagramza #zabookstafeatures #reader#ilovebooks #bookphotographer #bookphotobookobsessed #vscobooks #bookphotography #bookish #yareads #prettybooks #bookstagrammer #igreads#beautifulbooks #bookstagram #igbooks #bibliophile #bookworm #booknerd
Instagram post 2150292351342605053_5412814401 ✨QOTD: who is one of your new favourite authors? - Hey hey hey lovely people - Well folks, welcome to another episode of me talking about book I’ve been wanting to read for a long while... but haven’t 😅 Yes, ‘I WAS BORN FOR THIS’ by @aliceoseman has been on my tbr way too long! But because I’ve been loving all her books this year I plan on getting to it very soon🧡 - Alice has created this lovely contemporary world where all her stories intertwine. It’s diverse and the characters feel so real. I just,,, love them so much and can’t wait to read more ☺️ I think this one involves boy bands? Which YES! Plus I love that all her covers match 🤩 - They sent it a while ago but huge thanks to @jbchildrens for sending a copy of this book my way 💖 - Hope you have a lovely day 📖 - - - - #iwasbornforthis #aliceoseman #osemanverse #bookstagramza #zabookstafeatures #reader#ilovebooks #bookphotographer #bookphotobookobsessed #vscobooks #bookphotography #bookish #yareads #prettybooks #bookstagrammer #igreads#beautifulbooks #bookstagram #igbooks #bibliophile #bookworm #booknerd
Instagram post 2147394572165262989_5412814401 💙QOTD: what book series do you still need to get around to finishing? - Hey there lovely friends - Huh so this statement will not come as a surprise to literally anyone, being that I haven’t read this dang sequel yet... 😂 I read ‘THIS SAVAGE SONG’ earlier this year and ever since have been dying to know what happens next in ‘OUR DARK DUET’ by @veschwab but know it’s a heartbreaking sequel and that there isn’t another book afterwards. Therefore what have I done? Yes you’re correct: procrastinate reading it😅 - But I really just need to read it. August is a lil cinnamon roll and I desperately want to give him a hug. I really want to learn more about the world. Plus Victoria’s writing is always just *chef’s kiss* 🤩 SOMEBODY MAKE ME READ IT!! - I hope you’ve been having a lovely week. I’ve been back in complete school mode and been super anxious but it’s fine 🙈 - Have a lovely weekend and happy reading 📖 - - - - #thissavagesong #ourdarkduet #monstersofverity #victoriaschwab #veschwab #bookseries #bookstagramza #zabookstafeatures #reader#ilovebooks #bookphotographer #bookphotobookobsessed #vscobooks #bookphotography #bookish #yareads #prettybooks #bookstagrammer #igreads#beautifulbooks #bookstagram #igbooks #bibliophile #bookworm #booknerd
Instagram post 2145220068710113534_5412814401 🎃QOTD: what book have you adored recently? - Hey hey hey lovely friends - HAPPY OCTOBER ⭐️ - Oh my golly gosh THIS BOOK! I absolutely loved ‘PUMPKINHEADS’ by @rainbowrowell and @faitherinhicks 😍 It was the best autumnal read, even though it’s spring here but oh well. But ahh I just want to gush about this glorious graphic novel 🙌🏻 - The artwork is so pretty. We’ve got a black, plus-size AND bisexual (pretty sure she’s bi, correct me if I’m wrong) main character which is so amazing. The story is full of whacky adventures and... FOOD, which made me hecka hungry. The friends-to-lovers romance melted my heart. I just,,, loved this book a lot and highly recommend you pick it up yet if you haven’t 😍 - A huge thanks @panmacmillansakids for sending a copy of this amazing book my way 🧡 - I’ve just written a whole blog post talking about all the graphic novels I’ve read this year so far, including this beaut so stay tuned for that some time soon 🤩 - I hope you have an awesome day and read all the great books 📖 - - - - #pumpkinheads #rainbowrowell #faitherinhicks #autumn #fall #pumpkin #pumpkinspice #bookstagramza #zabookstafeatures #reader#ilovebooks #bookphotographer #bookphotobookobsessed #vscobooks #bookphotography #bookish #yareads #prettybooks #bookstagrammer #igreads#beautifulbooks #bookstagram #igbooks #bibliophile #bookworm #booknerd
Instagram post 2143050429163090587_5412814401 🗡QOTD: do you have any spooky books you want to read this halloween season? - Hey there lovely friends - I literally just finished reading ‘STALKING JACK THE RIPPER’ by @kerrimaniscalco and oh boy what a fun read. I flew through it and had a glorious time 🖤 - I ADORE the Victorian London setting, it’s one of my faves. I really loved the characters and their banter. I was constantly second-guessing who the murderer was. It was great and I’m super excited to start the second one 🤩 - Also, swipe to the next photo to see the bookmarks I forgot I owned from @createexploreread back when I was a rep and so totally had to use them 🙌🏻 - I hope you’ve been having an amazing week. I’ve been away as I’ve said a few times so have a couple things to catch up on ☺️ - Anyways, enjoy your Saturday and read all the books 📖 - - - - #bookstagramza #zabookstafeatures #reader#ilovebooks #bookphotographer #bookphotobookobsessed #vscobooks #bookphotography #bookish #yareads #prettybooks #bookstagrammer #igreads#beautifulbooks #bookstagram #igbooks #bibliophile #bookworm #booknerd
Instagram post 2140155625617945571_5412814401 🔥QOTD: what are some of your most anticipated releases of the year? - Hey hey hey lovely friends - Will I ever shut up about ’CARRY ON’? No is the answer to that question. But do you know what today is? Why yes it’s the release day of ‘WAYWARD SON’ by @rainbowrowell 🤩 So happy book birthday to this stunning baby!! - I am still in lowkey shock that @panmacmillansakids sent me an early finished copy of this book... like WHAT EVEN 😱 Huge huge HUGE thanks to them ily 💕 - So yes I have already read this book. And I have EMOTIONS. I don’t know what they mean yet so I’m waiting to see what you all think of it. I need to discuss my feelings because I have MANY 😅 - Also, it isn’t a fancy floral suit but Baz definitely approves of my shirt 😉😅 - Anyways have a wonderful day and I hope you’re reading the most awesome books 📖 - - - - #waywardson #carryon #rainbowrowell #carryonwaywardson #snowbaz #bookstagramza #zabookstafeatures #reader#ilovebooks #bookphotographer #bookphotobookobsessed #vscobooks #bookphotography #bookish #yareads #prettybooks #bookstagrammer #igreads#beautifulbooks #bookstagram #igbooks #bibliophile #bookworm #booknerd
Instagram post 2139424870142927316_5412814401 ✨QOTD: what are some of the biggest books on your tbr? - Hey there lovely friends - Guys, I literally just bought this book at the @warehousebooksale_bb for R80, which is happening TOMORROW, yay happy dance! And ahh I’m so super excited to get to this book🤗 - I’ve heard nothing but great things about ‘SPINNING SILVER’ by @naominovik which is a Rumpelstiltskin retelling. I know right, sounds epic and amazing. But it seems quite dense so I definitely need to be in the right mood to take in all that amazingness 🥰 - I hope you’ve had a lovely Monday! I’m out with my family on a lil’ road-trip holiday😌 - Happiest of reading to you 📖 - - - - #spinningsilver #naominovik #rumpelstiltskin #bookstagramza #zabookstafeatures #reader#ilovebooks #bookphotographer #bookphotobookobsessed #vscobooks #bookphotography #bookish #yareads #prettybooks #bookstagrammer #igreads#beautifulbooks #bookstagram #igbooks #bibliophile #bookworm #booknerd
Instagram post 2138705619417487104_5412814401 ✨QOTD: what is one of your favourite films? - Hey there lovely people - I am in fact a bad person and didn’t read the book before I watched ‘CALL ME BY YOUR NAME’ by André Aciman but oh well. I do not know how many times I’ve seen jt, but just know it’s a lot, because I adore this movie. I become even more obsessed as time goes on and the more I watch it, it’s just a masterpiece of a film. The soundtrack, the cinematography, the colours, the Italian setting, just ALL OF IT IS PERFECTION 😍 - It’s just AHH. Plus the romance between these two boys is so beautiful, it’s set in the 80s (I know SHOCKER that I love it so much) which was a not the BEST, um, time to be gay. So it’s of course very heartbreaking. But just so good I WANT TO CRY ALL DAY😭 Highly highly highly recommend if you haven’t seen it yet🙌🏻 (but be aware this film deals with heavy topics and some explicit content and I don’t recommend for younger viewers 😊) - And this is also my very amateur attempt at recreating the cover of the iconic movie tie-in edition which is the only edition that I wanted 😉 - P.S. I’ve been eyeing it every time I go but I found this book as well as MANY others at the @warehousebooksale_bb which is happening on Tuesday 😏 - I hope you have a wonderful Sunday and read all the awesome books 📖 - - - - #callmebyyourname #andreaciman #timothéechalamet #armiehammer #bookstagramza #zabookstafeatures #reader#ilovebooks #bookphotographer #bookphotobookobsessed #vscobooks #bookphotography #bookish #yareads #prettybooks #bookstagrammer #igreads#beautifulbooks #bookstagram #igbooks #bibliophile #bookworm #booknerd
Instagram post 2137975933976473535_5412814401 💜QOTD: what is something you’re excited about? - Hey there friends - Whoops I realise that this is also a retelling but with sci-fi book like my last post, but oh well 😆 - Anyways, if you didn’t know ‘HEART OF IRON’ by @_ashposton is an Anastasia retelling! I’ve had this book on my shelf for ages now and have been itching to pick it up. I ADORE the Disney animated film with my whole heart, and I think it’s so unique how they took real a historical event but also a mystery and put a spin on it to make it something different 😍Very much recommend the movie if you haven’t seen it yet ✨ - I also know the sequel ‘SOUL OF STARS’ just came out this year so I definitely need to get my hands on it so I can binge this duology 😏 - Also, I’ve been non-stop working on my blog this weekend 🥳 If you were interested, it’s has a whole new look and I’m super pleased with it. Wasn’t the biggest fan of the old theme so glad that’s gone😅 - I hope you’ve been having an amazing weekend and are reading some awesome books 📖 - - - - #anastasia #heartofiron #ashleyposton #bookstagramza #zabookstafeatures #reader#ilovebooks #bookphotographer #bookphotobookobsessed #vscobooks #bookphotography #bookish #yareads #prettybooks #bookstagrammer #igreads#beautifulbooks #bookstagram #igbooks #bibliophile #bookworm #booknerd

This is not new to anyone that I take literally 5ever to read anything hyped 😅 But gahh I’ve been wanting to pick up ‘CINDER’ by @marissameyerauthor for a while now ever since I’ve gotten more into sci-fi.
