How gorgeous is this UK paperback edition of Caraval? 😍 I can’t wait till my copies of Legendary get here! Incase you haven’t seen the secret covers on the UK editions of Legendary, go check out @stephanie_garber’s Instagram story! She shows them all and also some of the editions with sprayed pages! Also, the secret covers are only on the first round of printing, so if you want one you should definitely preorder now! • I think Caraval has the most gorgeous covers. Every edition is beautiful. I think my favorite is maybe the UK hardback, but it’s hard to choose just one! • Tomorrow I’m going to be taking some more pictures. I think I’m going to try and take some bookmark pictures. • QotD: What’s your favorite bookish candle company? • Fun fact: The pages I use as my background are from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone 🙊 My old copy was so well read that the pages started falling out, which made it really annoying to read. So I bought a new copy and ripped out some more pages and voila, a bookstagram background! • #bookstagram

Today is the final day of the OwlCrate photo challenge! Today’s prompt is your OwlCrate box and your favorite books, so I thought I would post a shelfie of my shelves that hold all my favorite books: all of Cassie Clare’s books, all of SJM’s books, Caraval, and Harry Potter. #ocshadows 🥀 I’ve never posted a shelfie before. The lighting where my bookshelves are is not great, there’s basically no sunlight hitting it. But oh well. 🥀 QotD: How do you organize your bookshelves? I do mine by my favorites, and then kind of by genre/what fits and looks good together. 🥀 #bookstagram

Time for some Caraval appreciation because we are getting a third book!!! I am so so so excited and glad that I don’t have to say goodbye to this world and these characters yet. Incase you missed it, the third book is titled Finale, and it’s doing to be dual POV with Tella and Scarlett! Stephanie Garber is one of the most talented writers out there in my opinion, and I absolutely love love love her books! Also, there’s a review of Legendary on my website, link in bio. 🎟 I’ve been doing pretty good at posting regularly lately! Hopefully I can keep this up all through summer. 🎟 Challenges: #wethebooksmay18 Day 7- Map Monday (I know I’m way out of order but oh well) 🎟 QotD: What are your favorite bookstagram props? All I have are fake flowers, but I love pictures with flower petals. 🎟 #bookstagram

Day 10 of the OwlCrate photo challenge: Ace of Shades and red books. Plus some other past OwlCrate goodies that are red! #ocshadows 🌹 I’m very excited for Ace of Shades! It sounds really good and I think I’m going to try and read this one really soon. 🌹 I’m starting a new job so I’ll be at training for most of the day, so I won’t be on here. Also, I’m planning an Outlander themed photo shoot/cosplay. I’m even more excited to do it now because Outlander just got renewed for two more seasons! 🌹 #bookstagram #yalit #beautifulbooks #youngadult

I just finished rereading this big ole book a couple days ago and it is truly an incredible book! The ending is so freaking epic and so well written. I don’t ever cry when reading books but when Lysandra saved Aedion and Rowan in her snow leopard form I cried. But I was like 1 AM so we can chalk it up to that. Everything ended so nicely in QoS it’s amazing how fast everything goes wrong by the end of EoS. 🥀 Today is day 9 of #wethebooksmay18 and the prompt is favorite female friendship! Since I just finished QoS, Elide and Manon are the first that come to mind. I like to think that Elide is the first real friend Manon has had in centuries, because at this point in the story I don’t think she would think of the thirteen as her friends. But either way I love Manon and Elide’s relationship. 🥀 Also I am officially done with school this year! Only one year left and then done with college 😬 🥀 #bookstagram #throneofglasscoloringbook

Finally a post in honor of ACOFAS! Again I have to send a million thanks to @gcreading for holding the virtual signing and being so amazing! Hopefully one day I will meet Sarah and then I can get ACOTAR and ACOMAF signed! 🏔 So I really enjoyed reading ACOFAS. It was super short and it was nice to read a book about my favs where they aren’t in mortal peril. I’ve heard some complaints that there isn’t a plot, and the characters are so different and Cassian is so mild now. I don’t really agree with those. I mean there isn’t really meant to be some amazing plot. This is just supposed to set up the events of the next book. And as for the characters, I feel like Rhys was just as dirty minded in the last books, it’s just that now he can relax and doesn’t have to worry about everyone dying so sorry if that’s all he’s thinking about 🤷🏻‍♀️ Plus they are all probably still recovering from the war so it would be no surprise to me if maybe they weren’t as cheerful or rowdy or whatever as before. And I’ve heard it called “lazy writing” which I also just don’t get. That’s the book SJM wanted to write, so how can you judge it as lazy? I get that it’s not what you wanted, but lazy is kind of a shitty judgement to make. I think people get so upset when things aren’t exactly what they expect. SJM is an incredible author who writes amazing books, so obviously people expect a lot. But not all of her books or stories have to be epic with one hundred plot twists. If she wants to write a super chill novel where her characters have fun then why not. She can write whatever the hell she wants. So yes I did enjoy ACOFAS and I’m super duper excited for the next books! And of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so let me know what you thought of it! 🏔 QotD: What book is your most prized possession and why? I love all my signed SJM books and also my UK edition of Caraval! 🏔 #bookstagram

Soap and florals for today’s OwlCrate photo challenge! The book in the back is Cassandra Jean’s language of flowers. 🌹 I finished regrading QoS last night and wow that book is amazing! I actually cried when Lysandra saved Aedion and Rowan in snow leopard form. 🌹 QotD: What supernatural power would you want? I think being a shapeshifter would be awesome. 🌹 #ocshadows #bookstagram

So a few weeks ago I was in a thrift store and I found this UK edition of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for $1! And it’s in such great condition! I don’t know who would get rid of this over in the US because it was probably hard for them to even get it in the first place. ⚡️ Today is day two of the OwlCrate photo challenge: Pencils and favorite HP book. Swipe to see a close up of the pencils included in this month’s OwlCrate box 👉🏼 ⚡️ QotD: From HP, whose wand is your favorite? I have Hermione’s and Voldemort’s wands, and I love them both. But I’ve been eyeing Narcissa’s and Bellatrix’s wands for YEARS. ⚡️ Challenges: #wethebooksmay18 Day 6- Favorite comedic character Book Harry Potter is so sassy so I’m gonna go with him! ⚡️ #bookstagram #ocshadows

“If you’re going to live you might as well do painful, brave, and beautiful things” 🐍 Two posts in one day because for once I actually have too many pictures to post! That never happens. 🐍 The Serpent King is one of my favorite books EVER, which is saying something because I rarely read or am impressed by contemporary. But The Serpent King is amazing and everyone should read it! 🐍 Speaking of contemporaries I actually just unhauled a bunch of them from my shelves... even really popular ones 😬 Life is just too short to read books I’m not interested in. 🐍 Challenges: #wethebooksmay18 Day 2 & 3- Book and flowers, and book quote 🐍 Also I can’t remember who made the bookmark! It came recently in an OwlCrate box though.
