Today's a little different from my usual posts but I'm on vacation visiting my Newfie family and it was so beautiful outside I couldn't resist! I just started THE FALCONER by Elizabeth May, one of my vacation TBR books (video on my channel!) and I'm excited to get more into it. So far, SO. GOOD!!! . August 20 #augustmaiden #femaleauthor #wordboundaugust Land #fortunefavoursaugust Vesta: Fire - does her hair count? 😂 #augustlibrary17 Clouds - so teeeeechnically this is for blue books but my picture has actual clouds okay?! #watermelanerdsjuly Time Travel or Freeze Time? - TIME.

I'm not even mad about not loving it because it's going to be gorgeous on my shelf 😉 Full review is up now--link in bio! . August 17 #frenchiefantasyaugust #openbooks #ampersandaug17 Ship #tdfaug17 I've Been There! - I visited London a few years back 😊 #fortunefavoursaugust Nemesis: Revenge #augustreadsplaining Loss #grimdragon Didn't See That Coming! #watermelanerdsaugust Beach or Mountains? - beach all the way . #augustbookstagramchallenge #london #enlightenment #1700s #eighteenthcentury #coverlove #coverbuy #lookatthatcover #oldnewspaper #lace #bookworm #booknerd #booklover #booklovin #bookdragon #bookstagramchallenge #bookstagramchallenge #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #blackmail #tangledwebs #leebross Certainly took me long enough but I FINALLY read RED QUEEN by Victoria Aveyard! I wouldn't say it quite lives up to the hype for me but it's still sososo good! AND THAT ENDING?!?! 😱Review will be up soon! . What did you think of RED QUEEN? . August 14 #grimdragon Dog Days of Summer: Disaster & Catastrophe! - I think it's safe to say the ending is a good dose of both! #augustreadsplaining Battle #ampersandaug17 Win Goooood afternoon wonderful people! I've been missing my old Greek-y/Percy Jackson days and thought what better way to get all nostalgic than to go back to one of my favourite mythological retellings/spin-offs, the Starcrossed series by Josephine Angelini! It's an incredibly unique redo of the Trojan War stories with a romance TO DIE FOR. This is the finale (I couldn't resist the colours!) but the series is one of my favourites and way up on the long list of books I'm ACHING to reread. Just need to tackle my TBR first... . What's your favourite mythical novel?? .

So beauty! Cover love! - look at the pretty colours! Hey bookworms! I've never done a photo with food before so I thought I'd try it out with UNRIVALED by Alyson Noël because a) there's a strawberry on it so I was feeling inspired and b) the cover is so pretty I couldn't NOT post it!!!!! This was totally a cover buuuuuut the book itself was so much better than I'd expected! Review will be up Monday morning so feel free to check it out 😁link in bio .

How's it hanging? I'm super busy right now with the 2017 BookTubeAThon which I decided to join last minute so I'm playing catch up. One of the challenges is reading an entire book in one day, for which I picked KISS OF DECEPTION! I've heard so many great things about it so I cannot wait to start it today 😁#letsdothis . . #90sbookchallenge - "Oops!...I Did It Again" - yet another super popular series I waited aaaaaaages to start . Do you prefer reading in the morning, during the day, or at night? . #booksofinstagram #bookdragon #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booktubeathon #booktubeathon2017 #booktubeathonday3 #readingchallenge #kissofdeception #maryepearson #bookworm #booknerd #bookphoto #booksandplants #booksandflowers #theremnantchronicles OH MY SWEET GOODNESS I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH. The setting! The plot! The magic! The ~romance~! Holyyyyyy guys! I'm literally in awe. It took me so long to read this for no reason but the simple fact that I am evidently a moron. . Review is up on my blog AND I sort of spontaneously started a booktube a few weeks ago and just posted a book talk for this today if anyone's interested in watching a lot of overenthusiastic bookish screaming. Forewarning: there's a lot of romance gushing 🙈 . #talesandteajuly - Vasilisa the Beautiful: beautiful writing #dreambunnybookishjuly - OTP #icecreamforbooks - S'mores: book that left you wanting more . Who loved THE WRATH AND THE DAWN by Renee Ahdieh as much as I did???? ❤️ . #booksofinstagram #bookdragon #bibliophile #booknerd #booklover #bookworm #booklovin #booktube #booktuber #booktalk #bookreview #thewrathandthedawn #thewrathandthedawnduology #twatd #reneeahdieh #shahrzad #khalid #khorasan #arabiannights #onethousandandonenights #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bookstagramchallenge Who else loves the Hex Hall series by Rachel Hawkins? 🖐 This one's definitely an oldie but a goldie. I loved Sophie from the very first page and all the other characters (Archer? swoooooooooon) from their first line. This series is adorable and hilarious and hands down one of my favourites! 😁 . July 21: #dreambunnybookishjuly - Blue #allthebooksjuly - First in a series #bookchroniclesjuly - Best beginning (okay maybe not ever but it's a really nice beginning) #julyofdisney - 'Goodbye may seem forever': series you wish had never ended (oh, just one of the SO MANY) . What book or series could you reread endlessly? . #bookdragon #bibliophile #bookworm #booknerd #booklover #booklovin #summerreading #bookstagrammer #bookstagramchallenge #bookstagram #rachelhawkins #hexhall #hexhallseries #demonglass #spellbound #booksofinstagram #witchbook
