✨ Here’s some of my favourite #coverlove from 2019 books! ✨📚 #CrownOfFeathers is a special edition by @owlcrate that was included in their February 2019 box. And #TheStarlessSea is the special edition by @goldsborobooks 💗✨ Darkdawn, Once Upon A River and The Giver of Stars are the standard UK editions. I love the detailed the illustrations of #Darkdawn and #OnceUponARiver are, and I love how beautiful and eye catching #TheGiverOfStars is 😍✨ ... What are your favourite covers from 2019? I’d love to know! 💗📚

(Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) Such A Fun Age is a breezy contemporary with meaningful undertones. When twenty-four-year-old Emira Tucker is accused of kidnapping Briar, the white infant she babysits, it sets in motion a series of compulsive affairs that combine the past and present in an intense battle of bravado, with Emira caught in the crossfire. . In short, I loved this book and definitely recommend it if you’re in the mood for a breezy contemporary. And yet... I’d definitely say this has tones similar to the movie Get Out, due to how horrifying some behaviour is. After the opening chapter that demands attention, the story’s pace didn’t have as much flare as the beginning, but rather it shifted into the subtle ways of building tension across the story, and not just for a banger of a chapter. So the pace didn’t really drop at all. My favourite things about Such A Fun Age: I loved that this book illustrated how everybody sees experiences differently. Two people can come away from a conversation having a totally different opinion and perspective on what happened during that conversation, and I loved how the author captured the feelings of being lost and directionless during your twenties. The climax was brilliantly done and I loved the ending. It was satisfying and had a delicacy to it like the aftermath of a terrible rainstorm. . There truly were moments where I was turning the pages furiously because I couldn’t burn through the story fast enough; I couldn’t put the book down. Moments where I had to look anywhere and everywhere BUT the pages of the book because of how fucking awkward shit was. Moments where I was welling up from such happiness and sadness when it comes to children and parental relationships. Moments where I was seething with rage and then bubbling with excitement and joy. And moments that had me giggling from nerves and from the utter hilarity of what characters did. . #SuchAFunAge was a really good book to help kickoff my 2020 reading year 📚💗

Can you believe it’s the last weekend of January?! It has felt like a super long month, yet now it’s almost over, it strangely feels like it’s not been long enough...? But with January coming to a close, we’ve only got one month left until Spring, which will hopefully roll in brighter skies sooner rather than later. My longing for Spring and sunshine is today’s inspired #stacksaturday - rainbow sprayed edges 😊🌈 There’s always a good chance of spotting rainbows in Spring, especially in Scotland with how chaotic and moody the seasons and the weather are. I’m nearing the end of my reread of Crown of Feathers, which means I’ll likely be wrapping up this month with 5 reads 📚 I hope everybody is enjoying the weekend, however you’re spending your time 💗

What’s your favourite kind of bookish items? 📚 . . For me it’s bookmarks and mugs ☕️🔖 Some of my favourite bookish mugs have come from @illumicrate designed by @rosiethorns88 😍💛 My favourite to date has to be the Moth and Mirth mug inspired by The Cruel Prince, featuring Cardan and Jude! 😍 It’s absolutely beautiful, and equally menacing as it is romantic. The other mugs are inspired by the ADSOM, ACOMAF and Nevernight series. I also really liked their travel mug inspired by Children of Blood and Bone, because of how colourful it is... I can’t wait to see what’s coming in 2020 ☺️💛 ... #illumicrate #bookishmug #adsom #acomaf #acotar #nevernight #godsgrave #thecruelprince #feysand #judeduarte #cardangreenbriar #miacorvere #ashlinnjarheim #feyrecursebreaker #courtofnightmares #elfhame #lilabard #kellmaresh

Here’s a part of my January book haul! ✨📚 Two are sequels, and two are the firsts in series. I can’t believe we’re already nearing the end of January... the first month of 2020 has almost been and gone! I’ve set my 2020 reading challenge to 50 books again, and so far, I’ve read 4 books this month. How many books do you want to read in 2020? ☺️✨ ... #scythe #aheartsofierceandbroken #ahsfab #atorchagainstthenight #fireborne #bookhaul

My current read is a reread of Crown of Feathers for the #PhoenixRidersReadathon and the countdown to its epic sequel, Heart of Flames, in less than a month! ❤️💜🔥 COF by @nickipaupreto was one of my favourite reads of 2019, and returning to the beginning of this story and world has been such fun and reminded me of exactly why I love it. My review of both #CrownOfFeathers and #HeartOfFlames are up on my blog! I’m so excited for everybody to read the sequel... everything about this series gets me super excited 😍😂🔥 ... What’s everyone else reading? I hope everybody’s had a great weekend 💗✨ ... #bookcommunity #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #instareads #bookworm #booklover #readersofinstagram #readersofinsta #booknerd #booklove #bookaholic #goodreads #bibliophile #bibliophilelife #bookish #bookphotography #bookobsessed #phoenixriders #firstriders
