A whole bunch of adorable veggie friends for you! Don’t worry about not being able to eat healthy anymore, my Grunlings aren’t actual food!

They are gentle spirits of nature and if someone is lucky enough to see or even befriend a Grunling, they can become incredibly supportive with gardening. ;) 🌱

anthropomorphic veggies make me happy

Inside info about NetGalley, look at my ratios. It's less about how many reviews you're turning in and more about how much you're engaging the public online about books. So post often about your honest feelings, post book photos, talk about books, share your reviews, engage with others on SM and have fun. Don't bust your ass on the reviews/feedback :)

I'll make sure my Tumblr isn't a repeat of Insta. So thanks for following me here :) I'm excited to see what we can make of this place.

Thriller Author for the #circleofbookishfriends co hosted by @authormichaelreidjr so I chose Dennis LeHane. Of course. No thriller author EVER in the history of thrillers have *anything* up on LeHane. In fact, no author has better writing chops than LeHane and that is my professional reading opinion. He's the man. Straight up. 💁🏻📚✍🏼 The link for my review of the Bone Mother is my profile. If you love horror, folklore and creepy antique photos-you NEED that book. There were stories that made me not want to turn out the light! Read the review! 👍🏼 ... 🌵I caught that cactus trying to crawl out of his pot just to get away from me: the PLANT KILLER. Poor kid. #dennislehane #thrillers #thrillerbook #shutterisland #sincewefell #bookcover #bookandcoffee #bookstagram #flatlay #flatlaystyle

After reading 13 Views of Suicide Woods, I'm really excited for his newest release Come to Dust How cool is it that it looks like Rust from my background has infected the book cover? 😎 This storyline reminds me a little bit of Suffer the Children that I just read with @gowsy33 @book.happy and @bookishmommy about children dying and then rising up from the grave. We all really enjoyed it. This one has some subtle differences with some religious fanatics and more of a focus on a single family. Super looking forward to it. #cometodust #brackenmacleod #horror #horrorfan #horrorlover #scarybooks #scarystories #bookcoverlover #bookcover #flatlay #flatlaystyle

Favorite Horror Author for the #circleofbookishfriends ☠️🖤☠️🖤 Was there any doubt? Come on. I stole my first SK book off my mom's shelf in the summer of 1988 and I've been a constant reader ever since. Many of my nights have been spent with my mind getting wrapped around the words of good ol SK. Trips to Castle Rock, Derry and Mid-World. My favorite storyteller. ☠️☕️mug: @arcane_store use my code in my bio to save 💵 😍😍😍😍 #stephenking #stephenkingfan #stephenkingbooks #constantreader #kingisking #kingstagram #bookstagram #booksandcoffee #bookstack #bookcollector #shelfie #arcanestore #coffeemug #numberonefan #bigbooks #favoriteauthor #authorcrush #fangirl

I have to tell you guys some things: 1. I'm officially obsessed with thistles. I find them and hurt myself picking them and hurt myself more photographing them. But worth it, yeah? Look at them! 2. This is a book called Bone Mother I was trying to save for Fall but I "accidentally" browsed through the pages and saw that they were short, scary folklore tales with creepy photos! I read like 10 of them last night. 😣 3. I'm anticipating my @the.nocturnal.readers.box SO BAD! I'm trying not to leave the house so I can be here when it arrives 😏😏 4. I have a translucent thorn in my fingertip that hurts when I type on my phone. I can't see it to remove it. Any suggestions?? 🤔 Hope your Monday isn't too Mondayish #bookstagram #bibliophile #bonemother #thebonemother #folklore #openbook #thistles #horror #horrorfan #horrorlover #storycollection #shortstories

Hey! How long has it been since I mentioned Nick Cutter? A few days? Well then, today is the perfect day to mention him again: I read The Deep in the Fall of 2016. It kind of blew me away. I posted a review and everyone was praising his book the Troop. So I read that in April of this year. Here's a real progression of my face while reading it: 😏😯😳😟😵🤢😱 And then the @the.nocturnal.readers.box gave me a SIGNED copy of Little Heaven which was like the best birthday gift ever and it is now my favorite read so far of 2017. I just connect to Cutter's writing. His descriptions are so vivid and powerful. I'm often just awestruck by what he can do with words. Serious mad props for his skills and ability to write excellent horror. ☠️☠️☠️ #bookstagram #bibliophile #authorcrush #nickcutter #craigdavidson #horror #horrorfan #horrorlover #thedeep #littleheaven #thetroop #scarybooks

Happy Sock Sunday! And in this case, a black & white, bookish piano for the #circleofbookishfriends 📖📖 I saw the Dark Tower last night with all five of us-me being the only one who read the series. (Non spoiler review) There were fun King fan nods (not gonna tell-YOU find them!) the action was cool-to see some "Gunslinging" on the big screen! Jake was alright. Idris was alright. Matthew M. was lame. Apart from the fact I'm a Tower Junkie (I laid it aside. Which is telling already. I knew I had to put high expectations away, did LOTR fans do that? No! We didn't! The trailers made me cry!) As just a general audience movie buff, this movie lacked vision, story, character development (why do I care?) and world building. 95 minutes just is not enough time to do anything right. Unless it's a cartoon. Overall, it wasn't great. Sorry. My 12 year old liked it! Meh. 😒 #bookstagram #sockswag #socksunday #black #kneesocks #darktower #darktowermovie #moviereview #stephenking #stephenkingfan #stephenkingbooks #kingisking #kingstagram

Here's my mini haul from the Friends of the Library Sale! There were TONS of people there today and I have a touch of crown phobia so it was get in and get out for me. I'm a little nervous about the Crow Girl book. The synopsis involves stuff with kids and that can be very rich and go with me--sometimes it's fine and sometimes I'm like NOPE ✋🏼 The hubs and I watched the movie version of the Circle and I kept thinking, I bet this is a fantastic book! So I'm excited to read it. @ab_reads will be happy I got some Murakami! And I couldn't pass up the vintage cover on the Last Unicorn. Any thoughts on these?? #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookhaul #thecrowgirl #erikaxlsund #murakami #thecircle #daveeggers

We are already at day five of our Awesome Author challenge for the #circleofbookishfriends that I am co hosting with THE author himself, @authormichaelreidjr (if you're not following him, how are you succeeding at life?) .. Today's prompt is self published authors. I actually have a lot to choose from since I love supporting indie authors, @authormichaelreidjr @theconstantvoice @harmonylawson2016 @ejmellow But I just got bookmail from @fluorescentones so I chose her new book Fates Aflame by P. Anastasia which has its own coloring book! 😱😱 This book is definitely for a YA audience and I plan on sharing it with my 13 year old niece. She would LOVE the premise: "Earth granted her the ability to conjure fire at will, but the birth of her powers awakens a curse and a perilous trial unfolds, putting lives of those she loved in jeopardy. When extinct beasts brought forth by scientists magic threaten her life, she has no choice but to take a stand..." 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 My call is to support these indie authors as much as we are able. I read some crap published books so it bothers me there so many cool authors that just need that big break! 🔥🔥 #panastasia #indieauthor #indieauthors #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #fatesaflame #selfpublishedauthor #selfpublishing #coloringbook #ya #yaliterature #yalit #youngadult #youngreaders

Thank you so much to @crownpublishing for a free, advanced reading copy of Dunbar-part of the Hogarth Project. As a HUGE Shakespeare fan, I jumped at the chance to get this book. It's a retelling of one of my favorite plays, King Lear. You might have seen Hagseed by Margaret Atwood? That book is a part of this project too and was a retelling of Shakespeare's the Tempest. "As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods. They kill us for their sport." --King Lear @crownpublishing @penguinbooks #bookstagram #shakespeare #classicbooks #retelling #reimagined #williamshakespeare #dunbar #vintagetypewriter #flatlay #flatlaystyle
