Hunger Games

Suzanne Collins

Saw this edition of the Hunger Games series and had to get them! 🤩 The florals, the colors, and in paperback? Sold 🤝

I read them every year almost. I guess you could call it a comfort series since I enjoy it so much 🥹

Beach ✅

Book ✅

Bliss ✅

Am I known for always getting a sunburn when going to the beach? Why yes, yes I am ☀️ I always sit out with my book for too long without realizing, and then fall asleep. It is a trap of relaxation, I tell you 😮‍💨

Hidden Pictures

Jason Rekulak

A hauntingly good thriller that keeps you hanging on, wanting to know more.

What's next? What's next? 💭

I was hooked and kept asking myself, what does this mean and what is going to happen next? 🤔

I managed to finish this whole novel on Wednesday while traveling! I'm very thankful my plane ride was so good, and early 👏 I managed to take an hour nap and finish this whole thing in 6 hours or so💪

In case you didn't know, horror and thrillers are my favorites 😻

Together We Burn 🔥

would you rather...

Play with fire? 🌡️

Dance with Dragons? 🐲

Isn't that the same? 😅

Really enjoyed this daring story and admired the perseverance + courage of our MC! It was admirable enough to be a professional flamenco dancer 💃 where your partner is a dragon! but Zarela was not going to let that be all she is👏

(think bull fighting but with a high risk twist!)

I forgot to take pictures of the inside, but the art there is also so good 😭

Are you willing to put a book down as a DNF? Or do you have to finish even if we don't think its that good? 👀

Yes! Not wasting my time if I'm not enjoying it!

No, I have to complete the book for a full picture!

I don't see enough people mourning over the slow death of physical media. And I don't just mean TV shows, video games, or movies--which don't even get me started about how we don't really 'own' anything anymore. It includes notes, journals, and letters to one another...so much of our history is lost when we lose a password, a website goes down, a file/hardware is corrupted, or a platform disappears. History that doesn't seem important until you no longer have access to it. Physical media does a lot for memory recall. How many memories will we lose because we don't have something tangible to tie it back to? Something to hold in our hands and stir up those memories we thought were once lost? Sometimes I wonder what the difference between burning a book and losing access to physical media is when someone can pull the plug and remove your access so easily.

Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin

[kvothes]

oh someone told me something useful yesterday. she said she’s been thinking about her tbr less as an overwhelming list of books she Must Read and more like she’s cultivating a wine cellar. making a rich collection that will provide the perfect thing when needed. a bottle will get uncorked when the time is right

Love the idea of this much better 🍷 📖

hey quick PSA but “reading before bed to wind down” only works if you’re normal about books btw. if you aren’t you are going to end up awake at 2:52am after finishing the whole book just trust me on this one

the books I have read so far this year ~

Two of these were gifted to me and I had to read them first + report back with my thoughts so they knew how much it was appropriated one way or another 🥰

I love receiving books (or recommendations) which is a large part of how I decide on what I'm reading next! Latest:

Shark - Paul De Gelder

A combination of two of my favorite things; books and sharks! 🦈 A great read with a lot of great information and insight. One of many books I have annotated!

What it means to be a well-worn book ∞

Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead

Can you remember the first book or series that got you into reading? Where were you introduced to that piece that got you started as a reader?

This book series was one of the first chapter books I read around 5th grade or so. Little me was so excited to be checking out books from the library that I picked out myself! After telling my lovely english teacher how much I enjoyed reading the books in class (shout-out to the book I stole from her class that I still have, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh) she encouraged me to go explore others I liked on my own. So really, the start of my vampire obsession era was her fault and it never really went away haha
