Reading is Always a Good Idea.

"I like cancelled plans. And Empty bookstores. I like rainy days and thunderstorms. And quiet Coffee shops. I like messy beds and over-worn pajamas. Most of all, I like small joys that a simple life brings. -Unknown

I was in love with ‘The Spanish Love Deception’ it was one of my top reads last year! And since then I've been DYING for @thebibliotheque next book, and look at what she put out today! I'm so incredibly excited to read about Rosie's story! — Ｑｕｅｓｔｉｏｎ： 𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚋𝚘𝚘𝚔𝚜 𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚕𝚘𝚘𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚠𝚊𝚛𝚍 𝚝𝚘? — — — — #theamericanroomateexperiment #elenaarmas #books📚 #cozy #bookstagram #readersofinstagram #bookish #bookporn #bookaesthetic #hygge #bookblogger #bibliophile #booklife #readerlife #booksofinstagram #booknerd (at Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CY6-fQNLfGK/?utm_medium=tumblr

I'm not going to lie, I get jealousy of UK covers. I mean just look at this! I'm absolutely in love with the flowers and the color contrast!

I still haven't had time to read the rest of the series but it's on my 2022 TBR. I have to say I missed @roshanichokshi writing. I still think about Star-Touched Queen and A Crown of Wishes. There's something about her writing that is so immersive and detailed, and her characters are so captivating and well rounded!

✨First week of January check-in!✨ How's everyone doing on their reading? I shocked myself and read 7 books so far! I read these four and the rest on audiobook and I have to say there were AMAZING! Only one book made me ugly cry and when I was telling my sister about it I started crying all over again even though it was three days later! That's when you know a book is sad! — For those interested so far I've read: ‘𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘌𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯’: ✩✩✩✩✩ ‘𝘉𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥’: ✩✩✩✩✩ ‘𝘗𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘞𝘦 𝘔𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘝𝘢𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯’:✩✩✩✩✩ ‘𝘐𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘦 𝘍𝘪𝘵𝘴’: ✩✩✩✩✩ ‘𝘐𝘵 𝘌𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘜𝘴’: ✩✩✩✩✩ ‘𝘐𝘯 𝘍𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘠𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴’: ✩✩✩✩✩ (this one makes me cry just thinking about it) ‘𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘏𝘺𝘱𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘴’: ✩✩✩✩✩ — Ｑｕｅｓｔｉｏｎ： 𝙷𝚘𝚠 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚜𝚝 𝚠𝚎𝚎𝚔 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚢𝚎𝚊𝚛 𝚜𝚘 𝚏𝚊𝚛? — — — — #thelovehypothesis #beachread #peoplewemeetonvacation #iftheshoefits #romance #contemporarytomance #reylo #books📚 #cozy #bookstagram #readersofinstagram #bookish #bookporn #bookaesthetic #hygge #bookblogger #bibliophile #booklife #readerlife #booksofinstagram #booknerd (at Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/and_reading/p/CYjybhaLWTg/?utm_medium=tumblr

Seeing how all their choices affect how things play out. I'm endlessly enthralled by the way the human brain works, and how different situations and pressures change how different people make decisions. Thats why I love Enemies to Lover stories. What makes two people who under all circumstances should hate each other fall in love? What dominos fall and get knocked down to cause this result? That's something I look forward to find out when I finally get to ‘These Violent Delights’ and ‘Our Violent Ends’ by @thechloegong I really want to get to in before January ends! I'm hoping this weekend I get some time to sit down and read! — Ｑｕｅｓｔｉｏｎ： 𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚊𝚋𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚗'𝚝 𝚘𝚋𝚟𝚒𝚘𝚞𝚜? — — — — #theseviolentdelights #ourviolentends #chloegong #books📚 #cozy #bookstagram #readersofinstagram #bookish #bookporn #bookaesthetic #hygge #bookblogger #bibliophile #booklife #readerlife #booksofinstagram #booknerd #quoteoftheday (at Shanghai, China) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYcDWUArVBy/?utm_medium=tumblr

This warms my heart 🥺

Queen of Air and Darkness, Chapter 25 By Lifting Winds

[florencesmachine]

PUT 👏🏽 A 👏🏽 WARM 👏🏽 FILTER 👏🏽 ON 👏🏽 THE 👏🏽 CHAIN 👏🏽 OF 👏🏽 IRON 👏🏽 COVER 👏🏽

[drublaccthorn]

Cordelia and Lucie side by side 🥺🥰♥️

[commiescummie]

Okay so I took notes during her insta live because im a nerd and here they are

She planned out tlh after clockwork princess in 2014

She loves writing from cordelia's and Lucie's perspective, Lucie's because she's a writer like her

We get to see cordelia explore her Persian culture , also like im paraphrasing here but one of the main themes is basically about chess and like checkmates and shit you gotta be there

There will be a lot of Persian food!!!!!!

And we get to see some ceremonial family stuff

Fun fact: queen of air and darkness would have had mark or cristina on the cover but they wanted it to be underwater so they chose Annabel to get that flowy underwater effect. Smh they should've put mark in a dress.

There will be ten illustrations of the gang!!!!!!

My entire gay mind just went AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH CAUSE ANNA LIGHTWOOD

Magnus has an important unusual role of some sort, might've been spying with jem idk my wifi went out

Speaking of Magnus and jem!!!!!!!

There will be an extra story in the collectors first edition with Magnus and jem possibly spying. As I said my wifi went out and I am dumb of ass

[cassandraclare]

The gorgeous cover of Chain of Iron. I love all the details like the moths, Lucie’s Voyance rune, and the fact that she is holding Jesse’s Blackthorn locket (look at the close up and you can see the thorns etched on it.) some people have asked me if Lucie’s dress signifies anything but no, it’s just a yellow dress — yellow and blue lie at opposite sides of the color wheel and artists love contrasting them. It is winter in the background, as COI takes place during winter. Art and design by Cliff Nielsen. 💥
