Pocket Full of Ink

"I spent my life folded between the pages of books. In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived, loved and lost through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one...

[quoted-books]

If only there could be an invention that bottled up a memory, like scent. And it never faded, and it never got stale. And then, when one wanted it, the bottle could be uncorked, and it would be like living the moment all over again.

Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca (via quoted-books)

Wanted to take my book to the beach but didn’t want to get it sandy, I was hunting around the house for towels and food bags but nothing was to my liking! Then I remembered I brought my Exclusive ‘Dragon & Bank’ Book Sleeve by @booksequels from my December @fairyloot box! And damn does it look good at the beach 😍 haha thank you 😁 📚 ⭐️ 📸 #bookworm #bookphotography #bibliophile #booklover #bookaddict #instabook #bookish #bookgram #beautifulbooks #reading #booktag #coverlove #hardback #bookstagram #books #bookblogger #bookworm #booksleeve #booknerd (at Lagos, Portugal) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByQuRnhAsXx/?igshid=npx94wyjqitw

Holiday reads! Been excited for #wickedsaints by #emilyduncan, I’ve seen several reviews on insta which have made this book a must read for me! @thebookishgurl just put up a lovely post on Wicked Saints as well which I recommend you go have a look at! 😍 As for #thestandinboyfriend, I don’t know much about it and I haven’t read anything by #emmadoherty but it was recommended to me by #goodreads and they always seem to recommend books I like so thought it’d give it a go! Going to be an awesome week for me! Never mind the gorgeous beaches and lovely culture to be explored, give me a sun lounger and books and I’m good for a week 😂 📚 ⭐️ 📸 #bookworm #bookphotography #bibliophile #booklover #bookaddict #instabook #bookish #bookgram #beautifulbooks #reading #booktag #coverlove #hardback #bookstagram #books #bookblogger #kindle #ebook #holidayreading #soexcited (at Luz (Lagos)) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByJF_gbAc9O/?igshid=c9m0f45gkk22

My last #fairyphoto24 TBTB and Viper! Both stunning looking books that I can’t wait to read 😁😁 not only are they both singer by the Author but Viper is a @fairyloot special edition, having a purple cover instead of blue! And TBTB has the awesome fairyloot trade mark of sprayed edges, this time a soft minty green that compliments the cover art superbly! 📚 ⭐️ 📸 #bookworm #bookphotography #bibliophile #booklover #bookaddict #instabook #bookish #bookgram #beautifulbooks #reading #booktag #coverlove #hardback #bookstagram #books #bookblogger https://www.instagram.com/p/BwHn5igANYm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dvtxrsmh5qo7

Joining in on the read a long @fairyloot are having. I loved Caravel by Stephaine Garner and so far Legendary is proving to be just as good 😁 the book mark goes well with the cover art as well. And thanks to the March #fairylootbox I have plenty of page markers. 📚 ⭐️ 📸 #fairyphoto24 #bookworm #bookphotography#bibliophile #booklover #bookaddict #instabook #bookish #bookgram #beautifulbooks #reading #booktag #coverlove #hardback #bookstagram #books #bookblogger https://www.instagram.com/p/BwDJd3ygVRk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v2zfrzy94kev

Enjoying this #fairyphoto24 challenge so much I have even taken a photo with me in it! This is a rare thing for me haha but I honestly love this scarf so much, it’s super soft, the colours are vibrant and it’s sporting some of the best books from 2018. What where your favourite reads from ‘18?? 📚 ⭐️ 📸 #bookworm #booktography #bibliophile #booklover #bookaddict #instabook #bookish #bookgram #beautifulbooks #reading #booktag #coverlove #hardback #bookstagram #books #bookblogger https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv_ScvSA-ZD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=epk8b7ql5h67

More @fairyloot March Favourites unboxing photos. I had so much fun doing this and I have lots of photos that I love. So decided to put a few more up showing better how awesome this box was. I can’t get over the incredible foil cover art on the book Viper. Just look at how pretty it is 😍 and the scarf is so soft and I can’t get over the detail you can see in the books printed on the material! What an amazing collection of items to celebrate their 3 year anniversary. Congrats on becoming such an awesome bookish box guys, I look forward to getting May box and hopefully many more after 😊 📚 ⭐️ 📸 #fairyphoto24 #bookworm #bookphotography#bibliophile #booklover #bookaddict #instabook #bookish #bookgram #beautifulbooks #reading #booktag #coverlove #hardback #bookstagram #books #bookblogger #unboxing https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv95qUhAdm9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r8cmnqnpz5kz

So here is my first ever unboxing of a @fairyloot box. I’ve had several in the past and always wanted to do an unboxing but never had the confidence to; but I’m trying hard to change that. And what an amazing first box to unbox! Look at all the amazing goodies in the March Favourites box! This month we have; 🌸Alice in Wonderland socks 🌸Bookworm page tabs 🌸A Strange the Dreamer themed metal bookmark designed by @kdpletters 🌸Fairyloot anniversary enamel pin 🌸3 art prints inspired by Warcross, The Cruel Prince and An Ember in the Ashes, designed by @morgana0anagrom 🌸2 signed by the author books: #Viper by @hexhogan and #tobesttheboys by @maryweberauthor 🌸 and my favourite item from the box is the complete and utterly stunning scarf by @carakozik 📚 ⭐️ 📸 #fairyphoto24 #bookworm #bookphotography#bibliophile #booklover #bookaddict #instabook #bookish #bookgram #beautifulbooks #reading #booktag #coverlove #hardback #bookstagram #books #bookbloggers https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv938H8gsZa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15poybykwuvbh

As I’ve said before, I’m a huge fan of the #bookstagram world and I am now attempting to join in that magical #bookblogger world! After my first attempt I learnt quickly that being a #bookstagramer requires more than just a camera and some books, but also a creative mind! I ordered some postcards of fanart from @redbubble which I wanted to use as props, along with some other nic-nacs for my next photo session with my books. Feeling better prepared I got to work in getting my winning shot. I threw in colour, magic and pure determination. And this was my favourite shot! Just a candid of my favourite series and my favourite piece of fan art of Freya and Rhysand. I genuinely like this photo, and I’m hoping to grow more confident in my artsy side and develop some more fun photos! 📚 ⭐️ 📸 #bookworm #bookphotography #bibliophile #booklover #bookaddict #instabook #bookish #bookgram #beautifulbooks #reading #booktag #coverlove #hardback #bookstagram #books #bookblogger https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv7eJlaA2Cp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wff0uo1mvq5f

Day 2 of 3. I have learnt that although I’ve enjoyed my time with Neive, my parents dog, I in fact am certainly not a dog person and love my feline friend very much! I am surprised though by how much I’m enjoying the 6am morning walks. Although I regret not taking a towel to protect my car seats 🙈 https://www.instagram.com/p/BvkF9JygpWf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9v52j86be8e5

Started my 3 days off work with a morning walk along the beach with Neive, she wasn’t too thrilled about the wind, but it was very refreshing! #highlands #scotland #melness #talmine #morningwalk #dogwalk #lovelymorning https://www.instagram.com/p/BvhS7bbgaA7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k9odrtmwcs8e

A day off spent baking, is one of the best kind! Reading a book during baking times is also a bonus 😊 #lemoncake #vegan #veganbaking #dairyfree #dairyfreeliving #freefrom #lemonfrosting #victoriasponge #littledelights #dayoff #cake https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu_z_InA1M2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=abm2r6dfvczv

I’m a huge fan of the #bookstagram world and thought I’d give it a go. So I collected some of my favourite #books and made a little studio corner, was about to start and my camera battery was dead! Determined not to be deterred I used my iPhone instead. Although I had lots of fun, I totally underestimated how creative you have to be, it’s not just taking photos of books, there’s a lot of art that goes with it too! I have so much more respect for all you #bookstagrammer folk out there, you make it look easy! I will have to put in a bit more practice before I can call myself a #bookblogger 😊 📚 ⭐️ 📸 #bookworm #bookphotography #bibliophile #booklover #bookaddict #instabook #bookish #bookgram #beautifulbooks #reading #booktag #coverlove https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu4iNxQA11r/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rnyz5j3l8805

Can’t believe @fairyloot has reached this amazing milestone! Totally well deserved.
