𝘲: 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵? 👯‍♀️⁣ ⁣ This stunning recent release was sent to me by the awesome people over at @panmacmillansakids 😍⁣ ⁣ 𝘚𝘺𝘯𝘰𝘱𝘴𝘪𝘴⁣ ⁣ Summer love...gone so fast.⁣ ⁣ Will Tavares is the dream summer fling but just when Ollie thinks he's found his Happily Ever After, summer vacation ends and Will stops texting Ollie back. Ollie is uprooted and moves to a new school, the same school Will goes to. But at school Will isn’t is nothing like he was during their summer fling. This Will is a class clown, closeted―and, to be honest, a bit of a jerk.⁣ ⁣ Ollie doesn’t want to pine after a guy who will never be interested in him, but Will starts showing up everywhere and Ollie needs to decide if he’s ready to trust Will with his hart, even if it might just get broken again. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #Bookstagram #bookish #bookphotography #bookaholic #bookobsessed #bookdragon #readersofinstagram #booklover #book #bibliophile #bookworm #bookstagrammer #bookaddict #booknerd #readersofinstagram #youngadult #youngadultbooks #yabooks #youngadultbook #yabook #yalit #yareads #yacontemporary #queerreads #queerbooks #onlymostlydevistated #omd #sophiegonzales https://www.instagram.com/p/CCEkqGegr6V/?igshid=1ljua7cea1gtr

𝘔𝘢𝘢𝘴 🌙⁣ ⁣ It’s time for the Mid-year Book Freak our tag and while I was answering the questions - I realised House of Earth and Blood applies to almost all of them. It is my favourite book of 2020 so far 😍⁣ ⁣ Also - Bryce is Bae. ⁣ ⁣ And Lele (my favourite fire sprite ever) is depicted in this digital art! Character belongs to @therealsjmaas of course 😍 i was about 100 pages into HoEaB when I painted this 😂 I just love her sassy self. If you haven’t read HOEAB yet I would say go and do it. It might seem big but it’s so very worth every single page. ⁣ ⁣ I still have a very long crescent city reading vlog to edit but there was a lot of crying to sort through 😂😂 so that vlog will come at a later date. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #bookish #books ##bookaholic #bookobsessed #bookdragon #fanart #sarahjmaas #crescentcity #hoeab #houseofearthandbloodfanart #lehabah #lelefanart #lehabahfanart #crescentcityfanart #characterart #bookcharacter https://www.instagram.com/p/CBvqK9OAtwY/?igshid=8e4u7jse8c8z

It looks fantastic and the reviews have been pretty positive so far 😍 ⁣ ⁣ I was sent this book by the lovely team over @jbchildrens @jonathanballpublishers 🌻⁣ ⁣ 𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐬⁣ ⁣ In a world where the flightless are ruled by those who can fly...⁣ When her father dies just before her birthday, seventeen-year-old Aderyn inherits the role of Protector of Atratys, a dominion in a kingdom where nobles are able to transform at will into the bird that represents their family bloodline. Aderyn's ancestral bird is a swan. But she has not transformed for years, not since witnessing the death of her mother - ripped apart by hawks that have supposedly been extinct since the long-ago War of the Raptors. ⁣ With the benevolent shelter of her mother and her father now lost, Aderyn is at the mercy of her brutal uncle, the King, and his royal court. Driven by revenge and love, she must venture into the malevolent heart of the Citadel in order to seek the truth about the attack that so nearly destroyed her, to fight for the only home she has ever known and for the land she has vowed to protect.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #Bookstagram #instabooks #bookish #books #bookphotography #bibliophile #bookaholic #booklove #beautifulbooks #prettybooks #readersofinstagram #thethroneofswans #⁣KatharineCorr #elizabethcorr #fantasybooks #youngadultbooks #yaromance #yabooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B9dx7_agk5P/?igshid=1bsq9h6g3ljkw

I came across this amazing Lila Bard cosplay by @macaylacarlene and I just had to use her as my reference! . I’ve only read A Darker Shade of Magic but so far I love this series 😍 I need to get back to reading it! . The other day I physically picked up paint and a brush and it made me so happy because it’s been a few years since I’ve painted! I really missed it and now that I’m on holiday I might paint myself something 👯‍♀️ . It’s been raining non stop for a week and the sky is being dark and dramatic which means I haven’t been able to take any Booksta pics! . q: tell me something exciting that’s happened to you recently! 👯‍♀️ . a: I finished Uni but now I’m kind of stuck looking for a job but also just wanting to take a bit of a gap before working 😂 I feel like I’m in such a weird stage of my life and I just don’t know what’s going to happen next 😂 it’s kind of scary but I’m just going to go with the flow and see what happens 💁🏻‍♀️ . . . . . . . #lilabard #delilahbard #fanart #ADSOM #lilabardfanart #digitalart #veschwab #bookishart #bookart #characterart #characterdesign #Bookstagram #bookish #bibliophile #bookaholic #booklove #bookdragon https://www.instagram.com/p/B525lbWA4WB/?igshid=5simuixvtmh1

I’m officially on holiday and I’m ready to binge watch some things 😍 I watch A LOT of tv so there are few things I haven’t watched! if you can think of an obscure but good recommendation: let me know! . I adored the movies for To All The Boys I’ve loved Before! I still haven’t read the books because I haven’t been feeling like contemporary reads for a while but I feel like it will be a fun one! 👯‍♀️ . . . . . . . #toalltheboysivelovedbefore #jennyhan #ya #yabooks #yareads #yacontemporary #youngadultbooks #youngadultfiction #bookshelf #shelfie #Bookstagram #bookish #books #bibliophile #bookaholic #booklove #bookobsessed #beautifulbooks #bookdragon #prettybooks #readersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B5FI_e_gbpT/?igshid=s690jcjwycz7

I’ve been so busy with University work and life I feel like I haven’t been able to read the whole month 🙈 I just spent 2 days going to Comic Con Africa and wow it was so fun!!

A queen who owned her body, her life, her destiny, and never apologized for it. •ACOMAF by Sarah J. Maas• . Here‘s my digital art of the one and only Morrigan ✨ . I adore Mor - she is such a powerful and amazing character. Her strength and courage is truly admirable. With all the gender based violence and femicide happening especially in my country (South Africa) - Mor’s story is more important than ever. She got up and carried on fighting after what happened to her. She is an inspiration. . I’m really trying not to talk about ACOTAR too much but with my reread I’m falling in love all over again! What an amazing series. . . Q: who are some of your favourite female characters? . . . . . . . #mor #morrigan #acotar #acotarfanart #fanart #characterdesign #digitalart #bookart #sarahjmaas #acomaf #acomaffanart #acourtofthornsandroses #acourtofmistandfury #acowar #acotarseries #nightcourt #courtofdreams #bookcharacter https://www.instagram.com/p/B2HcMx0g1sF/?igshid=1uqmze4zf0tmg

Hello fellow book lovers! I’m off on a mini ‘holiday’ 👯‍♀️ (I’m going away to finish my thesis and read a lot - and probably play a lot of board games with the friends I am going with) . I just thought I’d leave my new digital fanart of Arya Stark here for everyone to see up close and personal 👯‍♀️ . Arya Stark is my favourite character from Game of Thrones - if you saw my GoT post when the last episode aired you would have read about how Arya’s character helped me a lot as I grew up alongside her. This lady right here is amazing and can we take a moment to appreciate her character arc👌🏼 I loved it! . . . . . . . . . . #aryastark #fanart #characterart #gameofthrones #aryastarkfanart #gameofthronesfanart #GoT #digitalart #art #gotfanart https://www.instagram.com/p/B0600DLABlF/?igshid=lzw0wv28cfso
