I haven’t done a stack in awhile and the Throne of Glass books make one of my favorite stacks out of the series’ that I own. What book spines do you love to see together?
📚
This FIREHEART candle is one of many gorgeous @Flickerwix glitter babies! It was one of the first ones I got and I still love it, especially the scent!

What’s your favorite mystery book/movie?🧐 
🔎 
Hey y’all! I’m still feeling under weather but I still dragged myself out of bed to take this photo! I’m proud of myself 😂 I also tried out my new felt board. I love getting new props! Anyways, since it is now spring here, that also means I’m bringing back out all of my colorful flower props and playing around with new filters! We’ll see which one I actually wind up using for the rest of the season 😂. What’s your opinion on this one? 
🔎 
I received these awesome gifts as a prize from the @epicreads Vanishing Stair sweepstakes and I’m so excited! Truly Devious was one of my favorite reads last year and I can’t wait to read The Vanishing Stair! I’m obsessed with mysteries and the first book of this epic murder mystery trilogy left me wanting so much more. Items included: 
• Paperback of Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson 
• Hardcover of The Vanishing Stair by Maureen Johnson 
• 2 custom clues (newspaper article & a postcard) 
• Journal to write down clues and suspicions 
• Magnifying glass necklace Huge thank you to @epicreads and @maureenjohnsonbooks ❤️

Using this #SciFiSunday to feature this amazing series by @emily.suvada that honestly blew me away! A futuristic & post-apocalyptic page turner full of twists and turns, intriguing science, and loveable (yet badass) characters! I can’t wait for the release of This Vicious Cure. ⚛ Science fiction has always been my favorite genre. Whether it’s reeling from an apocalypse, overthrowing a dystopian government, or hopping in a space cyclone to take out some evil aliens; I’m all for it! What’s your favorite genre?

[luminouslibrary]

Now that I’ve posted my latest unboxing, I’ve been taking so many photos of the items! 🔸️ I felt like this artwork by @gabriella.bujdoso goes perfectly with these stunning PRINCE CARDAN & JUDE DUARTE candles by @flickerwix - they were included in the Cruel & Cunning candle box.

Flickerwix boxes constantly blow me away and I know many others feel the same since the April boxes sold out in just a few days! Although these exact candles aren’t available at Flickerwix, there’s other equally gorgeous Folk of the Air candles available on the site (https://www.flickerwix.com). USE CODE 》PJ10《 TO SAVE! 🔸️ Also a reminder that Flickerwix has an awesome option that is perfect for bookstagrammers. The CANDLE DRAGON KIT is available as a bundle priced option where you can get a 4oz candle AND a melt! Perfect for those that don’t want to burn their photogenic bookish candles, but also want to be able to enjoy the lovely scents!

Lastly, @flickerwix will be participating in @nerdsale this month. Between March 15-18, you can save 20% on candles and melts. You can also save 20% sitewide on their sister site, @book.dragon.supply - a site full of bookish merch and overstock from Flickerwix boxes! 🔸️ _________________________________

“Books are easily destroyed. But words will live as long as people can remember them.” @taherehmafi 🖤 One of my fellow readers on Twitter has been reading the Shatter Me series with constant reactions and it has me in the feels! Now I desperately want to continue the series, but I think because of her reactions, I’m going to start from the beginning again. 🖤 How awesome are these Juliette & Warner pops by @libraryofthenight - now I can look at these beauties while I dive into these books once again, among some of my fave characters. So excited! You can use 》STAR10《 to save on her Etsy shop (https://www.etsy.com/shop/pagesofthenight); bookish pops, painted books, and more! She even does private customs, if you ever want to message her to share some ideas! I love being a part of her process and can say, she puts a lot of work into making her customers happy! Oh and all proceeds from her shop goes into her fur baby Goobie’s medical care - he’s such a cutie pie and I’m so glad he’s getting better! 🖤

Happy Valentine’s Day bookworms! So thankful to be a part of this loving community! 💕 ❤ WHO IS YOUR ULTIMATE OTP? Doesn’t have to be strictly bookish. This post is hugely dedicated to my ultimate OTP, BELLARKE, the very top on a list of many. When I first read The 100 by Kass Morgan - I fell in love with this story and the journey between these two characters, and I fell more in love when I saw them brought to life on the show at the same time. Albeit, not exactly the way I fully imagined, but still 😂 it’s an amazing show unto itself and greatly represents the strength and bond these two have. Bellamy Blake & Clarke Griffin make me happy, and they also give me unrealistic expectations of love, partnerships, and protectiveness! ❤ Bellarke candle by @gillywickgoods - one of my favorites and it’s absolutely perfect for them! ❤

Which Book Boyfriend/Girlfriend are you going to be spending this Valentine week with? I’ve been listening to the Illuminae audiobook (and soon Gemina) so I’ll be spending time with Kady, Ezra, Hanna, & Nik! My faves, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. ❤ 🌹 So I made a flower heart for today’s post, and then a book heart for my VDay post, and let’s just say.. the flower one was way more successful 😂😂. My book heart (which you’ll see on the 14th) is not very eye pleasing 🤣 🌹 @owlcrate February #OCArtifacts Photo Challenge Day 7: OwlCrate Box & Valentine Vibes 🌹

“‘The Elder Wand,’ he said, and he drew a straight vertical line upon the parchment. ‘The Resurrection Stone,’ he said, and he added a circle on top of the line. ‘The Cloak of Invisibility,’ he finished, enclosing both line and circle in a triangle, to make the symbol that so intrigued Hermione. ‘Together,’ he said, ‘the Deathly Hallows.’” - J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows ⚡ What’s your favorite cozy bookish item you own?
