🍀 Hi everyone! Happy St. Paddy’s Day!!! Despite my family being Irish we aren’t actually doing anything since, ya know, social distancing and all. I didn’t mean to be absent for so long but it’s been a weird and unsettling time lately. White Is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi is one of my current reads. It’s so strange and surreal that I love it! Her writing reminds me of Toni Morrison’s in Beloved, which is a phenomenal book! I got it from my library but they’ve closed until further notice, so I can’t even go to stock up books! I guess this means I’ll finally have to tackle the TBR cart. 😳 But make sure to take care of yourself friends and do what is best for your physical and emotional well-being during this time.  🍀 ✥ #bookstagram #reading #igreads #currentlyreading #bookreview #vscobooks #bookaesthetic #bookstagram #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #bookphotography #entanglednovels #booklover #literature #book #reader #libraryofinstagram #aesthetic #tbr #march #newbooks #library https://www.instagram.com/p/B91vTsYAPMV/?igshid=einwt5p9mqax

🍀 Hi everyone! How is everyone? Today I finished Would Like To Meet by Rachel Winters. I gave it 3.5 out of 5 stars 🌟 as I enjoyed it but I wanted more. There wasn't as many meet cutes featured as you'd expect and there wasn't too much romance until the end. But still enjoyable as Evie was a fun character to root for and I wanted her to get her happy ending. I've spent today reading NOS4A2 and filmed my February wrap-up.

🍀 Happy Mondayyyyyy! How is everyone? I’ve gotten to lounge around and read all day before I go to the gym tonight which has been nice. One of my current reads is N0S4A2 by Joe Hill. I'm only a quarter of the way through and I’m still not sure how I feel about it. The pace has been pretty slow so far so I hope it picks up soon.

🍀 Hello everyone! I’ve been taking time to recharge and focusing on enjoying myself. I can’t believe it’s March already. I only actually finished 3 books in February, none of which I own a physical copy (of course) but I will be filming a February wrap up still. I have a few books on the go at the moment so will hopefully finish them this week. Was February a good reading month for you? No Regrets is a book I’ve owned for a few years and I’m still unsure how I haven’t read it yet, considering I could get through it in like an hour 😂 But Levi is absolutely one of my favourite characters from AOT, and one of my faves ever. I might sit down this week and finally read it. I’ve read the manga, apart from the past two volumes which I need to catch up on. I also have to finish watching season 3 of the anime since I got a few episodes in before I was busy with class. Do you read any manga or watch anime?? 🍀 ✥ #bookstagram #reading #igreads #currentlyreading #bookreview #vscobooks #bookaesthetic #bookstagram #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #bookphotography #entanglednovels #booklover #literature #book #reader #libraryofinstagram #aesthetic #tbr #march #aot #attackontitan #newbooks #manga #anime https://www.instagram.com/p/B9M36eNg4_2/?igshid=1ogiqg5p69rod

❄ Hello everyone! How are you doing? I finished class last week and have been taking some time to just relax and recoup my energy after the whirlwind I went through. I will be posting regularly again now. And new videos coming soon! What are you currently reading? Has anyone here watched Gravity Falls?? It’s honestly one of my favourite TV shows. It’s so funny and very wholesome. Now that Disney+ is a thing I’m so excited to rewatch it! I’ve owned the journal for a while but I haven’t gotten to reading it yet. I’m thinking of reading it while I rewatch the show. ❄️ ✥ #bookstagram #reading #igreads #currentlyreading #bookreview #vscobooks #bookaesthetic #bookstagram #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #bookphotography #entanglednovels #booklover #literature #book #reader #libraryofinstagram #aesthetic #romance #fantasy #tbr #february #newbooks #gravityfalls https://www.instagram.com/p/B82KXgRAF6r/?igshid=1tfi6qe0emkvb

❄ It’s Valentine’s Day so here’s some pink and purple books to get in that fuzzy mood. Although Lock Every Door is definitely not a romance. 😂 It’s my last day of class ever! I can’t believe it’s here after waiting for it the past few weeks. Now to just get my internship off my plate. But no more class! Amazing!!  Are you reading anything special for Valentine’s day? ❄️ ✥ #bookstagram #reading #igreads #currentlyreading #bookreview #vscobooks #bookaesthetic #bookstagram #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #bookphotography #entanglednovels #booklover #literature #book #reader #libraryofinstagram #aesthetic #romance #contemporary #tbr #february #redwhiteandroyalblue #newbooks #library #lockeverydoor #valentinesday https://www.instagram.com/p/B8js64_Amu3/?igshid=10u8vcpys81o7

❄ How has everyone’s week started off? I only have two more days of class and then I’m done school forever! Thank GOD. I mean, maybe that will change in like 5 years but I’m ready to just work now. No more balancing work, class, homework, reading, etc. It’s gong to be so weird not being in school anymore after 4 years of uni and then my postgrad. So that’s what I’m looking forward to. I’m also currently reading The Other People by C.J. Tudor for Kayla's (@booksandlala) Literally Dead Book Club!! Enjoying it so far but I haven’t gotten too far in yet. Going to take a big crack at it on the train tomorrow. Crier's War is also on my list, in hoping to get to it in March.

❄ Listen, I know I’ve owned this for almost a year, and it’s a SIN I haven’t read it yet, but 2020 is the year okay 😭 Who else is a Murderino 🙆🏻 The podcast is one of my faves, I miss listening to Karen and Georgia regularly. I have to catch up on episodes of MFM so another goal of 2020 I guess.

❄ Happy second month of 2020 folks! It’s hard to believe that January is already over. My first read of February is Red, White and Royal Blue, which I think is very fitting. I’m enjoying it so far. I’m about two thirds through the book and there’s so many pages left so I’m a bit worried about what’s going to happen 😱 What’s your first read of February? ❄️ ✥ #bookstagram #reading #igreads #currentlyreading #bookreview #vscobooks #bookaesthetic #bookstagram #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #bookphotography #entanglednovels #booklover #literature #book #reader #libraryofinstagram #aesthetic #romance #contemporary #tbr #february #redwhiteandroyalblue #newbooks #library https://www.instagram.com/p/B8E3fcogWyg/?igshid=1xmfp3y7gvrsq

❄ Happy Monday folks - I know, I know, Monday’s aren’t my favourite either. My week is jam packed with work and class so I’m cherishing every moment I have to read this week. On the bright side I got some good news about an event related to my anticipated career today so I’m happy about that! But I’m ready for my program to be over, as class has been very draining lately. How is your reading going as we head into the last week of January? ❄️ ✥ #bookstagram #reading #igreads #currentlyreading #bookreview #vscobooks #bookaesthetic #bookstagram #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #bookphotography #entanglednovels #booklover #literature #book #reader #libraryofinstagram #aesthetic #romance #contemporary #tbr #january #newyear #newbooks #library #graphicnovels  https://www.instagram.com/p/B72Zi8SgrW0/?igshid=3eq5krqquw6a

❄ How's everyone's weekend going? I'm having a fairly lazy sunday. But my bf and I went to a delicious local restaurant for lunch which was so good 😍 their pizza is the best! Have you read any disappointing books lately? I have - this one right here! Lock Every Door was a major let down for me. Especially with how hyped it had been and how much people have raved about it. I found the plot predictable and the characters flat. There's a full review on my blog if you're interested! Have you read Lock Every Door?

❄ Do you ever just find a book that catches you so totally off guard, that your mind is blown at how you underestimated it? That’s how I feel about Don’t You Forget About Me. I went into this with low expectations, figured I’d give it a shot since it was at my library, and my ebook hold wouldn’t be available for another like 6 months. Y’all I was HOOKED on this book. I read it pretty much in one day, and I know I stayed up way too late to finish it! The characters were so real and fun (at least the ones I like are) and I was so engaged in Georgie’s story. I was rooting for her to get some true happiness for herself the whole way! It was definitely a slow burn romance but I still enjoyed it. I am super excited to pick up more of McFarlane’s work. Also there is such a good dog in this and I will protect him with my LIFE. What’s a book that blew your mind recently?? It could be from how amazing it was or even how terribly bad 😅 ❄️ ✥ #bookstagram #reading #igreads #currentlyreading #bookreview #vscobooks #bookaesthetic #bookstagram #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #bookphotography #entanglednovels #booklover #literature #book #reader #libraryofinstagram #aesthetic #romance #contemporary #tbr #january #newyear #newbooks #library https://www.instagram.com/p/B7wqigkg8EF/?igshid=g1z25gfto5l4

❄️ Another weekend is coming to an end and I'm so sad about it. Back to the class grind tomorrow! Im looking forward to having a break between the end of my classes and internship. How was everyone's weekend? I haven't got ti read much this weekend but I'm still chugging away on Lock Every Door.

❄️ I wish our weather would pick one season! It's rained most of the week and today it's back to being bitter cold. 🥶 I used the opportunity to stay inside and edit so I have a new video going up tonight. Keep an eye out for that! 😉 Have you read the Illuminae Files? What did you think? I loved Illuminae, so I can't wait to dig into Gemina! AIDAN is one of the most interesting characters I've ever read about and I loved the format of the book. I can see how it's not for everyone.

❄ How is everyone's week going? I finally got some time to film more today since I didn't feel well enough to go to class. I also went to the library! Pretty productive overall. If you haven't seen my blog post, I'm reading This One Summer for January for my #ReadingInNumbers challenge! I'll have a video up tomorrow talking about it if you'd like to know more! I actually got to see Mariko Tamaki speak last year and she's super cool. She had some great writing advice.

❄ How is your weekend going? I've had a fairly productive sunday by finishing a project, reading, and I beat the final boss in Link's Awakening! I just wish the weekend was longer so I had more time 😂 I'm hoping to finish The Last Wish tonight and then start This One Summer. I love when books have detailed maps as the end pages. The Six of Crows collector's one is so beautiful and I love how they made both of them bright red 😍 Are there any special editions you love? ❄️ ✥ #bookstagram #reading #igreads #currentlyreading #bookreview #vscobooks #bookaesthetic #bookstagram #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #bookphotography #entanglednovels #booklover #literature #book #reader #libraryofinstagram #aesthetic #fantasy #yalit #yabooks #tbr #january #newyear #newbooks #sixofcrows https://www.instagram.com/p/B7PUp8ugdZi/?igshid=rsy9q3k5lonk
