I love this book! It made me laugh a lot 😂 it's just a compilation of captions and beautiful illustrations but the core of it is just that nobody can prepare you to what is going to come! Sometimes when I look at her I still can't believe that she's real ❤ Yesterday she made her first few steps on her own, and looking at her little proud smile literally melted my heart 😭 . . . #bookstagram #book #bookworm #reading #literature #bookaddict #instareads #booklover #bookcommunity #mum #daughter #motherhood #themumhowitworks #howitworksthemum #ladybirdbooks #mumlife

Good morning darlings! Today I wanted to start the day on the right foot, cuddle myself a little bit and get some work done. I woke up early and was quietly sneaking out of the room when my daughter decided to open her eyes the second I was walking past the door 😂 Useless to say all my plans have turn to dust! It's ok though, we're gonna cuddle together ❤ Just in a bit more playful way 😅 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ QOTD: What are your plans for today? . . . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bookstagram #book #bookworm #reading #cosy #bookish #literature #bookaddict #instareads #booklover #bookcommunity #tea #coffee #mug #pinecones #theboss #withtherightfoot

The weather has been awful this days and I didn't like any of the photos I took for the #FAIRYPHOTO10, so I took them again yesterday and I'm going to post them all today since it's the last day. Apologies if that annoys you 🙇 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PROMPT 2: PILLOW AND READING NOOK My reading nook is simply my bed, I have an armchair from IKEA too but during winter my room is really cold and I prefer to sneak under the duvet with a warm cup of tea 😊 I love the pillowcase designed by @eviebookish for the @fairyloot "talk faerie to me" box! it's just perfect ❤ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . . #bookstagram #book #bookworm #reading #cosy #bookish #literature #bookaddict #instareads #booklover #bookcommunity #tea #bed #readingnook #pillowcase #readingspot

There's a world hidden in the folds of time, a place where witches and wizards live with ordinary people in perfect harmony. It's the village of Fairy Oak, and here our story begins. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love this book so much! It's one of those that have a special place in my heart. @elisabettagnone has created such a magical and beautiful world. I would definitely want to live there ❤ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ QOTD: In which literary worlds would you like to live? . . . #bookstagram #book #bookworm #reading #bookish #literature #bookaddict #instareads #booklover #fairyoak #twins #magic #magical #fairy #village #lightanddark #lightanddarkness #twofacesofthesamecoin #witches #wizards #courage #love #sistersbond

Here's my unboxing for the @fairyloot Talk Faerie to Me box! It's my first box and I'm in love with every item they sent ❤ First of all The Cruel Prince by @blackholly (which I highly suspected was the featured book, and the reason that convinced me to indulge in this treat). If you swipe left you can see all the items up close and I'm gonna talk a bit more about them in the next few days. For now I'm just going to say that the artworks and prints are stunning. Oh, and I got the Seelie lip balm and it's apple flavoured! Uh-mazing! Which one did you get? Does the unseelie one smell different? . . . #bookstagram #book #bookworm #reading #fairylights #candles #bookish #literature #bookaddict #instareads #booklover #FAIRYPHOTO10#talkfaerietome #tcp #thecruelprince #fairyloot #acotar #tog #fairy #fae #princecardan #treasure

Another book I loved when I was thirteen! Clearly inspired by Narnia, LotR and Beauty and the Beast yet still original (mostly in the sequels). Sometimes the writing style is childish and some plot twists were quite predictable in this first book but I love it anyway for one reason: the author was fourteen. I love when young writers are encouraged to do what they love. They may not be perfect, they may use clichés, they may be hardly influenced by the books they love.. but they will eventually grow, learn, study, write better, unpredictable, unforgettable stories, and maybe change someone's life with their words. I love reading debut novels and then see how much the author has changed. I find it inspiring! Recently I read one of the stories in the Juvenilia collection by Jane Austen and I laughed a lot. It was so quirky it could have been something I wrote when I was little but I enjoyed that first attempt at writing. If Jane hadn't tried, today we would be lacking some great literature. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ QOTD: have you ever tried to write a story? . . . #bookstagram #book #bookworm #reading #cosy #fairylights #bookish #literature #bookaddict #instareads #booklover #illibrodeldestino #beautyandthebeast #debut #debutnovel #youngauthor #nib #wood

Every year I start planning really early my Christmas gifts so that I'll have plenty of time to paint, sculpt or sew anything. Every year, no matter what, I end up doing the final touches 30 minutes before giving them. This year has been even more stressful since I had very little time to spend crafting and I've done most of the work with dim light (nearly blinding myself) and with my daughter sleeping next to me. Fortunately I managed to finish all of them except for my sister's, who is patiently waiting. Next year I'll participate to Secret Santa to unburden myself but I can tell that I'll miss it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The theme for last year, as you can tell, was Pride and Prejudice and I'm quite proud of the result! Everything is handmade and I gathered most of the inspiration and designs from Pinterest. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ QOTD: What is your favourite Jane Austen book? . . . #bookstagram #book #bookworm #reading #bookish #literature #bookaddict #instareads #booklover #nibandink #stamp #janeausten #janeaustenmerch #prideandprejudice #janeaustenfan #mrdarcy #elizabethbennet #expectations #totebag #tote #pencilcase #pin #handmade #flowers

"The wide Pacific waters And the Atlantic meet. With cries of joy they mingle, In tides of love they greet. Above the downed ages A wind of wooing blows: - The red rose woos the lotos, The lotos woos the rose" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - Vachel Lindsay ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I haven't read this book yet but I'm willing to do it soon 😊 Today (or, ehm, yesterday since it's way past midnight) was my daughter's first birthday! I can't believe she's growing so fast 😭 she'll soon be able to walk and talk and say "goodbye Mama, I'm going to school" 😮 . . . #bookstagram #book #bookworm #reading #cosy #bookish #literature #bookaddict #instareads #booklover #ginger #ilgustoproibitodellozenzero #hotelonthecornerofbitterandsweet #tea #jamieford #love #worldwar2 #japan #china

Just a quick post cause I'm really tired and tomorrow I have to wake up early to bring my daughter to a routine eye examination. Hope you all had a beautiful day 😘 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ QOTD: what is a genre that you would like to read more? . . . #bookstagram #book #bookworm #reading #cosy #fairylights #bookish #literature #bookaddict #instareads #booklover#wood #historicalfiction #mistery #greek #omicidioaolimpia

When I was little my parents never bought me Harry Potter... I really don't know why. Instead I grew up with the Septimus Heap series. I haven't find anyone yet who has read these books but they're great! The story is also about a young orphan wizard but they couldn't be more different! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ QOTD: what is a book that you think you're the only one who's ever read it? . . . #bookstagram #book #bookworm #reading #cosy #bookish #literature #bookaddict #instareads #booklover #wood #potions #septimusheap #alkymia #alchemy #vintagebag #scarf #rings #angiesage #mypersonalharrypotter

Oh, how I love Studio Ghibli! Hayao Miyazaki is definitely one of my favourite directors. His stories are so poetic and magical, the characters unforgettable and the colours, drawings and details are simply beautiful 😍 When I started reading Howl's Moving Castle I didn't expect it to be so different from the movie (in a good way). They're both stunning works from two very different artists and I love them deeply. Sophie is such a hilarious protagonist and I enjoyed getting to know better Michael, Calcifer and the vain side of Howl. Now all other Diana Wynne Jhones's books are on my tbr. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Fun fact: I wrote a thesis on Miyazaki's life and work for my high school graduation exam and two years later my sister wrote hers about Diana. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ QOTD: what is your favourite Studio Ghibli movie? . . . #bookstagram #book #bookworm #reading #cosy #bookish #literature #bookaddict #instareads #booklover #plant #wood #studioghibli #miyazaki #dianawynnejones #howlsmovingcastle #ilcastelloerrantedihowl #howl #howlandsophie #whispersoftheheart #isospiridelmiocuore #cinema #adaptation #fantasy

After a long time I managed to find almost every Spiderwick old edition! 🙌 but the first book is nowhere to be found in Italy 😞 I remember being 8 and excited to pick the next book at our local library... aah the smell, the disappointment when someone else had taken it and the joy when I finally got to the last book. Fun fact: I found the stone in a tourist shop in Dublin, during a school trip. The card said that the ancient Celts believed that a stone with a natural hole brought good luck and protection from evil, and that if you view your enemy through the hole any harm wished upon you will vanish. I immediately remembered the stone in the second book and I still peek trough the hole sometimes, hoping to see some spirites 😊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ QOTD: If you could choose a magical creature as a companion or pet, what would it be? . . . #connemaramarble #luckstone #bookstagram #book #bookworm #reading #cosy #fairylights #bookish #literature #bookaddict #instareads #booklover #spiderwick #spiderwickchronicles #hollyblack #qotd #wood #spirites #childrensbook

Hi! How are you doing? I've been so busy this days! Also spent some crazy nights with my daughter that didn't want to sleep 😵 but I managed to write a scene and do some research for the book 🙌 Right now I'm really tired and I'll probably fall asleep in the next couple of minutes 😴 goodnight darlings! . . . #bookstagram #book #bookworm #reading #cosy #fairylights #bookish #literature #bookaddict #booklover #wood #plant #liciatroisi #leguerredelmondoemerso #dubhe #mondoemerso #emergedworld #warsoftheemergedworld #paolobarbieri
