1, 16, 40, 47!

1) what is the best book you have ever read?

dont do this to me cossette please. anyways i sound like a broken record but it has to be legendborn. like that book has a chokehold on me. sorcery of thorns by margaret rogerson is also a contender

16) do you write in the margins of your books?

i do not. i'm not against annotating at all and i think people who write in their books are so cool and i admire them i just suck at it

40) do you own any "rare" or "collector books"?

ok so unfortunately i have the uk anniversary editions of the second and third h*rry p*tter books but i also own the waterstones exclusive paperback edition of the ballad of never after! i also have an owlcrate subscription so i have the owlcrate editions of threads that bind by kika hatzopoulou, garden of the cursed by katy rose pool, omen of ice by jus accardo, and a study in drowning by ava reid! also i preordered the owlcrate exclusive of a curse for true love! and i have a copy of mary poppins thats from the 1960s i think? it was a gift when i was a kid and i didnt realise it was so old til recently. this was a much longer answer than i intended even though it has a whole lot of nothing in it

47) what book do you feel most connected to?

unseelie by ivelisse housman. its a fantasy book with an autistic main character in a fantasy world that doesnt have a name for autism and it just makes me feel so seen. its a debut novel but i highly recommend it

send book asks!

Hello everyone and happy Monday to you all! I’m back with another book haul. These three lovely little paperbacks were crying out to be preordered. Honestly they were! 😉😜 These Violent Delights was recommended by my lovely bestie Janel over at @keeperofpages and I managed to pick up the @waterstones exclusive edition with hot sprayed edges which makes me a very happy Beth indeed. This is an imaginative Romeo and Juliet retelling in 1920’s Shanghai with rival gangs and a monster in the depths of the Huangpu river. Yes. I’m sold!! I’m a huge fan of Karin Slaughter and can’t resist when another of her novels comes out in paperback even though I’ve got quite a few to catch up on 🙈 This looks to me one of her stand alone novels and tells the tale of Leigh Collier, a woman who works as a defence attorney but who has also had a traumatic childhood. She is asked to defend a man on multiple counts of rape but then realises she knows him and he has asked for her deliberately. He knows what happened twenty years ago and suddenly she has much more to lose than just this case. Finally we have Cold Boy’s Wood. I absolutely loved Carol Birch’s novel Jamrach’s Menagerie and am hoping to get to more of her backlist. It promises to fuse the ghost story with sharp psychological insight and is an arresting, timely novel about loneliness, buried secrets and the havoc they play on the mind. I’d love to know your thoughts on any of these books or authors. Let’s have a chat in the comments. Have a lovely week everyone 🤗😘 #bookstagram #bookstagramuk #bookstagrammer #bookhoarder #bookhaul #paperbackhaul #moreforthecollection #morebooksplease📚 #theseviolentdelights #romeoandjulietretelling #chloegong #falsewitness #karinslaughter #coldboyswood #carolbirch #tbrkeepsgrowing #ijustkeephauling #booksbooksbooks #booklover https://www.instagram.com/p/CZZ7RTELpO_/?utm_medium=tumblr
