Hello creatures ✨ Tunnel of Bones was GREAT! I really liked the first book, and this kept the story’s momentum going beautifully. There’s some really good character development, and I’m enjoying how Victoria Schwab is expanding the mythology surrounding ghosts in her story 👻 My hold on Harrow the Ninth is almost ready to arrive! I’m getting the ebook edition on Libby since there were too many holds on the physical copy at my library. The first book was one of my favourites this year so I’m very excited to continue the series! #bookshelves #booksandcandles #bookblogger #tunnelofbones #victoriaschwab #veschwab #librarybooks #redbooks #ghoststories #childrensbooks #middlegradefiction #harrowtheninth #tamsynmuir https://www.instagram.com/p/CFUDrhTAMVt/?igshid=14r1eexkukklr

Hello creatures ✨ I picked up this stack from the library last week, and I loved how they looked together! 📚 I finished up The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter the other day and absolutely adored it! I’m very eagerly awaiting book two now 😊 Unfortunately Crazy Rich Asians didn’t work out quite so well. I ended up DNFing it pretty quickly; I’m not sure what it was but it didn’t really catch my attention, and I didn’t want to force myself to read it. I might come back to it at some stage, but for now I’m leaving it 📓 Gods of Jade and Shadow and Priory are both highly anticipated reads, but I’d say GJS will probably be read first because I’m planning to binge Priory in one day, so I need to set aside the time 🐉 #bookshelvesofinstagram #bookstack #bookaholic #booklover #booknerd #bookstagrammer #prioryoftheorangetree #godsofjadeandshadow #thestrangecaseofthealchemistsdaughter #crazyrichasians #bigbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CEdfa7WATIw/?igshid=hf6y9awyqyk6

Hello creatures ✨ I’ve had some brilliant reads this month, and I’m hoping The Shadow of the Wind will be the next one 💨 I’m participating in #asianreadathon #desertathon and this month, and I’m thoroughly enjoying both! Readathons are helping me focus my reading and reduce my tbr effectively 📚 When I’m mood reading and looking through Libby I tend to find books that I haven’t read and inhale those instead of backlist titles, so it’s been really helpful. Plus it’s more of a community based experience which is really lovely 😊 #bookstagram #booksareessential #booklover #bookblogger #booktuber #theshadowofthewind #carlosruizzafon #readathon #asianreadathon #desertathon #bookaholic #bookworm https://www.instagram.com/p/CAPXzM_A8yz/?igshid=1du219lg03t8k

As 2019 is about to end, let’s remember the most important thing that happened this year: Percy Jackson finally said fuck (Everybody say Thank You Chris McCarrell)

Hello creatures ✨ I finally finished my Bachelor’s degree! The results came out yesterday and I’m really happy with how I did 😊 As far as reading goes, I’ve found a couple of new Webtoons I really like. I’d already been a fan of Lore Olympus for a while, but Space Boy and Miss Abbott and the Doctor are a couple of new favourites ✨ #bookstagram #bookish #bookblogger #bookworm #booksofinstagram #booknerd #booksonbooks #webtoon #spaceboy #graphicnovels #darkflamereads https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ZMK5GgbVq/?igshid=1o76s0mersouq

Hello creatures ✨ Alright, I have PROPERLY LOST CONTROL of my Goodreads challenge. I am eighty-six books behind schedule. EIGHTY-SIX. 📚 Now I’m starting to regret setting my goal at 250 books, but I’m refusing to change it. I’ll just have to have a few very busy reading months 😂 The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo has finally arrived from my library! And now that I have it, I’m concerned it won’t live up to Daisy for me. I’m very into old Hollywood as well, but Daisy got everything I love about seventies music really right. Eh, we’ll see when I read it I suppose 🤷🏻‍♀️ #bookstagram #bookish #reader #readallthebooks #bookaddict #daisyjonesandthesix #taylorjenkinsreid #prettybooks #bookblogger #hypedbooks #nervousreader #darkflamereads https://www.instagram.com/p/B3mK3fOgpJC/?igshid=2kwkg40zcg

The feeling when you pull a heavy book off a shelf and suddenly you are an apprentice doctor who is desprate to cure the king before the land is plunged into war.

Here’s HSTHETE, the 24 hour comic I drew this year!  Thanks to everybody who followed along on twitter this weekend as I posted these pages <3

[darkflamereads]

Hello creatures ✨ As much as I loved Strange the Dreamer and Muse of Nightmares, I haven’t finished the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy. I like it, but there’s not the same intrigue driving me to get through Dreams of Gods and Monsters 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ve got a lot happening with work and uni still, so posting is definitely going to stay inconsistent, but I miss bookstagram so I hope I can get time to take pictures again soon 😊 #bookstagram #bookish #reader #bookstack #bookmark #inkandwonderdesigns #strangethedreamer #multipleeditions #tradepaperback #signedbooks #lainitaylor #bookpile #bluebooks #darkflamereads https://www.instagram.com/p/B2x0vN1gdps/?igshid=1smncifd51hj1

Hello creatures ✨ Does anyone else feel like they’re actually twice their biological age? I’m twenty one but I feel more like a forty two year old 🍃 I went out with some work friends last night, didn’t get home to bed until four this morning and now I have regret 😭 I am FAR too old to be carrying on until four in the morning. My total sleep rounds up to about four and a half hours and I’m so, so very tired 😂 I was going to read this afternoon but I think I’ll be watching Netflix and laying down for a few hours instead 😅 How old do you feel? 📚 #bookblogger #bookstagrammer #bookish #bookishcandles #theseeliecourt #themortalinstruments #potionscandleco #imsoverytired https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Sk1Oxg_HL/?igshid=h9dz455vf343

Cinderella (1950)

[enchanteddreameruniverse]

This. This moment is the most important in the movie. This is when the Prince falls for her - he was infatuated before but he clearly thought that the reason Cinderella was around him was because he was the Prince, but when he discovered she has no clue, he realised that she stayed and talked and spent the whole night with him because she likes who he was as a person - not his title. Not only that but he liked her; we don’t know what they talked about, but we can imagine it must have been interesting and nice to last a whole night so we know she just have said something that made him want to stay around her too. That’s why he wanted to find her, not cause she was pretty (I mean the guy couldn’t even remember her face and went off a shoe for God’s sake - which gives me a theory that the Prince has Prosopagnosia AKA face blindness) but because she liked him not his title, and he liked whoever she was, rich or poor.

[thesevenumbrellas]

The prince has face blindness and dumbass disease ok? He’s trying his best!

[goldenmana]

The Prince isn’t the one who went looking for Cinderella. He wanted to go out and find the girl he danced with. It was his father, the king, who wouldn’t let him go and instead sent the archduke to find the maiden. Since the king and archdruke didn’t dance with Cinderella or really know her beyond a glance from a distance, they only had what she left behind to go off of: the glass slipper.

The prince isn’t a fool who forgot her face. He didn’t even get to be the one to look for her.

[tyrannosarcophagous]

this is the man who jumped out of a window after being told he couldn’t take another step down the stairs.

sounds about right

Hello creatures ✨ I had such a good reading weekend last week! I got through three books in one day including both of these, and they both ended up being five star reads 💫 Daisy Jones has had a lot of really mixed reviews so I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about it but it was exactly what I wanted and expected. It’s easy to see why people didn’t enjoy it but I love 70’s music and the whole documentary/interview element really worked for me 😊 And Heartstopper! I loved it so much, it’s really wholesome and lovely 😍 It’s definitely going to be a book that turns up pretty regularly on here I reckon 😂 #bookstagram #bookish #readallthebooks #readallthethings #daisyjonesandthesix #heartstoppercomic #aliceoseman #taylorjenkinsreid #pinkbooks #graphicnovels #adultbooks #yabooks #lgbtbooks #bookworm #darkflamereads https://www.instagram.com/p/B1KksnNgyG1/?igshid=mwe18jq9g0hu
