This month has felt like a slower reading month than July for sure. I think I read 18 books and comics last month and this month I only read 10. Fatigue, work kicking my ass and having the kid plus his gf home again has meant life is a bit crazy at the moment. Nice, but busy! ~ ~ I read more from Paper Girls, which I loved and also the fantastic Illegal Contact and a new Ellie Marney book. Goodreads!! ~ ~ Hope you’ve all had a fab reading month. Do share your recs in the comments, I am always on the lookout for a good read! ~ ~ A ~ Illegal Contact by Santino Hassell. OMG I loved this. A ~ Wildfire by Ilona Andrews. Great end to the series. A ~ No Limits by Ellie Marney. I really love this authors voice. A ~ Paper Girls V2 and V3. Beautiful, felt like the 80s and I just love it! B ~ Spectred Isle by KJ Charles. Good start to a new series. B ~ Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor. Beautiful prose, good start, but the pacing wasn’t always lively. C ~ Fallen Heir by Erin Watt D ~ Until it Fades by KA Tucker D ~ Permanent Ink by Avon Gale and Piper Vaughn - - - - - - - - - #augustwrapup #readgushaug17 #allthebooksaugust #fanaticalbirdaugust #maddiewaliaugust #justmybookbloggerlife #auginbooks17 #readwithusaugust #rfabaugust17 #ampersandaug17 #circleofbookishfriends #shelfie #bookshelf #bookshelves #bookshelfie #nzbooks #australianauthor #nzbloggers #funkopop #booksandpops #popvinyl #booknerd #homeoffice

Day 1 of #justmybookbloggerlife is Fave trickster! Let's be honest, is there a better trickster around than Kaz Brekker? Me thinks not!! I absolutely loved the way his mind worked in this series and I would not be opposed to seeing more of him!! #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagramchallenge #favetrickster #kazbrekker #sixofcrows #coffee

“Perhaps it's impossible to wear an identity without becoming what you pretend to be.” ― Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game . 💫📚💫 . It's Wednesday lovely Bibliognosts... we are halfway there! Anyone have fun summer plans for the end of the week? . 💫📚💫 . It is #selfie day on #readgushjune17 so slide to picture two.... my son actually took this picture of me... so pretend it's a selfie 😉 • Favorite cover #sunsoakedpages I am not sure I have a favorite.. but I love these covers! • Summer fling #justmybookbloggerlife does this mean a short book? A light summer read? Well I'm hoping to read Anna and the French Kiss this summer.... maybe that counts? 🤷🏻‍♀️ • Fav book of fav genre #stuffandnonsensejune so if I claim fantasy the three ACOTAR books... right now anyway... But Narnia and Anne of Green Gables will never be knocked off my all time favs list • Favorite quote #fanaticalbirdjune guys I have way too many fav quotes... but most recently added to my list: "It's probably my job to tell you life isn't fair, but I figure you already know that. So instead, I'll tell you that hope is precious, and you're right not to give up." CJ Redwine, Defiance 💖💖💖 • 💫📚💫 • And since Wednesday's are in he middle of the week... I'm going to just ask... who else is fed up with the crazy algorithm? IG updated again and it's crazy right now.... right? . . . • #endersgame #orsonscottcard #cruelbeauty #rosamundhudge

So I finally got around to taking bookstagram pictures last night 🎉🎉🎉 I took a bunch of photos to last until Sunday (when I normally take pics) so I'm good for now! I am currently reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and loving it! FYI this is a first time read for me. Today's challenge for #justmybookbloggerlife is movie lives up to book. Now I can only speak for books 1 and two of Harry Potter when I say this but especially book one but I feel like the movie was on point with the book👌My favorite HP movie though, is definitely The Goblet of Fire ⚡️ QOTD: What is your favorite HP book? What is your favorite HP movie? 🎥 ⚡️ Gryffindor and Restricted Library candles from @acourtofcandles ⚡️ Marauders Map bookmark from @boookmarky ⚡️ #bookshelf #shelfie #harrypotter #booksandflowers #magic #middlegradebooks #green #yalit #yabooks #yabookblogger #booknerd #bookworm #booklover #bookblog #bookblogger #harrypotterandthegobletoffire #acourtofcandles #bookish #bookishcandles #gryffindor #bookchallenge #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookishgoodies #hardcover #bookmarks (at Deer Park (LIRR station))

I am kicking the month of April off by participating in the #justmybookbloggerlife and #fangirlaprilchallenge . Today's themes include favorite trickster and Funny character, which in my eyes both apply to the notorious tricksters, Fred and George. Unfortunately, I don't have any Fred and George mercy but I do have a Ron Funko mini and some other Harry Potter items. Happy April Fool's day bookstagram! • • • #bookchallenge2017 #bookshelf #shelfie #funko #popfunko #harrypotterandtheprisonerofazkaban #jkrowling #magic #harrypotter #yalit #yabooks #yabookblogger #booknerd #bookworm #booklover #bookblog #bookblogger #fantasybooks #ronweasley #bookish #favoritetrickster #aprilfoolsday #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksandflowers #bookishmerch #fredandgeorge (at Tinton Falls, New Jersey)

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.” ― William Faulkner . . I've got full day... and I want to find a way to squeeze By Your Side... and write a bit... but you know I'll be around... so let's talk current favorite books... what was the last book you just loved... . We are wrapping up our week of colors and bookstagram shoutouts with Pink and feeds that are just too cute not to share with everyone. So please find a moment and check these great bookstagrammers @thebeautyofreading Olivia's pictures are just so full of pink and joy... I love it! @huntforpaperback I love the use of light in these pictures it brings them all to life and go back and see some of my favorites I shared throughout the week... I can't wait to do another week of shout outs! Can you? . . Pink books #ReadGushAug17 .

We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.⠀ Ray Bradbury⠀ .⠀ Did you enjoy literature in school? Or did you fall into group of students who didn't like to be told what to read?⠀ .⠀ I was somewhere in the middle- in high school I had a couple teacher who gave great reading assignments and others that just make us read boring classics 😂😂 Fahrenheit 451 was one of those I found boring and use spark notes to finish it... maybe I should go back and read it again now... which classic would you enjoy more now that a teacher isn't testing you on it?⠀ .⠀ We are still doing our week of spreading Bookstagram love by sharing some beautiful accounts with each other in Read Gush August... and today let's give some extra love to those accounts that are energetic- in their pictures or their captions! ⠀ 👀 @ravenclawbooknerd92 has some bright and energetic pictures that always bring life to my feed!⠀ 👀 @avoiding_reality_ is another account that uses the right pops of color to jolt some energy into my feed⠀ I hope you can show them a little love today...⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Red books #ReadGushAug17⠀ .⠀ Top 3 OTP #stuffandnonsenseaugust Scarlett & Z; Rachel & Logan; Anne & Gilbert | books you dislike #justmybookbloggerlife books that I have to read and be tested on (glad those days are over for me) | books worth rereading #bookreadhappyhour I would love the time to reread the Lunar Chronicles ⠀

“If a kiss could be seen I think it would look like a violet,' said Priscilla. Anne glowed. 'I'm so glad you spoke that thought, Priscilla, instead of just thinking it and keeping it to yourself. This world would be a much more interesting place…although it is very interesting, anyhow…if people spoke out their real thoughts.” ― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea . Happy Monday Bibliognosts... if you are in the US, are you planning on seeing the eclipse? We are going to try but with a three-year-old it is a challenge . Our week of colors and shouts continues today on Read Gush August... I'm finding some lovely new bookish people and I love it! .

The painting flashed into my mind. Flashed–and stayed there, glimmering before it faded. But it remained, shining faintly, in that hole inside my chest. The hole that was slowly starting to heal over. Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #2) . . I know I gravitated to the Court books because SJM used art of all forms to help Feyre deal with her brokenness (arguably ptsd) from under the mountain... and since it is Wednesday, also known as #booksnotbullies day here, I thought this quote and book would be good... so this one is especially for those hurting who turn to artistic expression:life is brutal, more than it needs to be, but if you stumble across a way to express yourself in painting, song, poetry/prose.... the list is long... do it... work through the pain, the hurt, the fear and allow the process to heal... . #readgushaug17 Blue for Books not Bullies #justmybookbloggerlife new addiction- bookish candles and art #bookreadhappyhour "as far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster" or rather I would have loved to be a spy 🔎 . Have you turned to art to help heal? Do you have a favorite? One of mine is the song Busted Heart... I'll put a snippet in my story if I remember... . . . . . . . . #bookstagram #yalit #bookgeek #bibliophile #evilalgorithm #bookblogger #booklover #bookstagramfeature #instareads #readanddream #acomaf #sarahjmaas #acourtofmistandfury #bookdragon #artcanheal

That moment you realize you forgot to post your photo for the day 🙄 🦋 Today is day 10 of the #justmybookbloggerlife challenge: Worst place to live. I had to choose the place notorious for killing off its youth: Panem. To me, the world Suzanne Created for The Hunger Games is all too scary because it's all to realistic. When I read this trilogy I felt like I could actually envision a future where all of the events that I took place could actually happen. And that is a terrifying thought. 🦋 QOTD: What's your fave Funko that you own? Don't have any? Than what Funko is at the top of your wishlist? AOTD: I'm pretty fond of my Cogsworth from the live action Beauty and the Beast. 🦋 #bookshelf #shelfie #katniss #booksandflowers #suzannecollins #trilogy #blue #yalit #yabooks #yabookblogger #booknerd #bookworm #booklover #bookblog #bookblogger #bookandfunko #thehungergames #bookish #mockingjay #dystopian #bookchallenge #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookishgoodies #hardcover (at Deer Park, New York)
