Decided to join in on all the fun my friends are having by participating in #signedbooksundays hosted by the amazing @diamondxgirl and @bookcrushin. ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ Today's theme is: pictures on the title page! I had a ton of fun searching through my books to find cool artwork, and I had a super hard time picking a book. In the end I went with one of my favorite books, The Scorpio Races by @maggie_stiefvater. ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ #yabooks #yalit #maggiestiefvater #thescorpioraces #signedbook #bookstagram #bibliophile #instabooks #libros
