I'm off to a flying start this year and have already read 11 books! I was determined to try and get through my TBR pile this year but I've already broke and bought new books, one of which was The Water Cure by Sophie Mackintosh. . . . What an amazing debut novel! The atmosphere was intense and the allegory was brilliantly done and seriously got me thinking. . . . Loved this book and I'm excited to see what else Sophie comes out with! (Also I'm fangirling that you're also from Wales!) . . . #thewatercure #sophiemackintosh #thewatercurebysophiemackintosh #debutnovel #manbookerprize #manbookerlonglist #booklover #lovebooks #igbooks #igreader #instadaily #instareader #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookish #bibliophile #booklove #booklover #lovereading #booksbooksbooks #bookswithfeels #allegory #booksofinstagram #welshreader #goodreadschallenge #beautifulbooks #booknerdigan #girlreader #readinglife https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsququ7Hy93/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1otxercvown3u

Not long to go now until Christmas! Is everyone ready!? . . . What's one book you were so excited to be released this year .. but still haven't gotten around to read it? For me it's got to be between Bridge of Clay by @markuszusak and Muse of Nightmares by @lainit .. I eagerly awaited the release of these but still haven't read them! Think I'm putting it off because I don't want it to end. . . . #bridgeofclay #markuszusak #anticipatedreads #anticipatedbook #bookrelease #bookrelease2018 #booksandflowers #flowersandbooks #flowers #instabook #instadaily #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookish #book #booksbooksbooks #bookworm #booknerdigans #booknerd #bookgeek #bibiliophile #booksofinstagram #bookstagramfeature #bookhoarder #readers #bookaholics #bookaholic https://www.instagram.com/p/BrnvZPYngPX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1s2ve6uyslkol

Hey lovelies!

Here is my September TBR. This month I have decided to try and get back into graphic novels, and I’m also determined to carry on with some series that I have started and never gotten around to finishing along with some others that have been on my TBR for too long.

      Have you read any of these? If so let me know your thoughts and let me know which one I should start with!
