“You always have the power of choice, even when those choices seem limited. Never forget that.” - Kingdom of the Wicked . . 🌟QOTD: Have you discovered any new OTPs this year? . . Happy Sunday friends!! I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing weekend!! I had such a blast at the light show last night, it was magically and beautiful and definitely got me in the holiday spirit!! One of my new favorite OTPs is Emilia and Wrath!! Their chemistry in Kingdom of the Wicked was one of my favorite parts of the book and I NEEEEEED book 2 to have more of them!! This gorgeous @fairyloot edition is also one of my favorites of this book and this artwork 😍!! I own something like 6 copies of this book so obviously I highly recommend it!! Kerri’s writing is one of my favorites and after SJTR she quickly became an auto buy author for me!! I cannot wait to see what she does with book 2!!! Have a great day!! . . #JollyBooksmas - My true love gave to me: small shop sunday #bookbookowlfestivities - Jingle Bells: stag on cover #FandomBookishDec20 - new favorite OTP #amagicaldecember2020 - The white wand and the shadow wand: good vs evil #bookscoasttocoastDec20 - series you need to finish . . #kingdomofthewicked #kerrimaniscalco #fairyloot #fairylootexclusive #ventureswithbooks #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowbooks #rainbowshelf #bookstack #readingtogether #bookflatlay #booklovers #bookwormsunite #bookshelf #booksbooksbooks #unitedbookstagram #booksaremagic #readingcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CIdW0w_gA83/?igshid=3y1tu35b1j66

QOTD: Have you ever taken a book stack of a series only to realise after you edit that you arranged the books in the WRONG ORDER????? 😩 This photo is bugging me because I got books 2 and 3 mixed around 😅. Yes, I am 100% that person who will rearrange books in a bookstore so the series is in the correct order 🙈. I also cannot bear to tear my series apart for the sake of pretty shelves. In other news I love this series and hope to reread it soon(ish) //CHALLENGES// #LMSDecember2020 - Hope to read #RFABDec20 - December TBR #AmpersandDec20 - TBR #AMagicalDecember2020 - Belle’s Library: December #TBR #BookNerdsAndFriends - Holiday Cheer: December TBR //HASHTAGS// #penrynandtheendofdays #endofdays #angelfall #worldafter #paperback #bookstack #susanee #reread #underratedbooks #bibliophilebuzz #bookdragon #angelbooks #postapocalyptic #yalit #yafiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CIP9MGQAnPA/?igshid=2k8wj98l0t2

QOTD: What is your least favourite but also favourite part of bookstagram? That starts as a bit of a downer for Christmas Eve but I was struggling to come up with a caption and that partially inspired the question😅 So least favourite thing... the struggle to come up with captions, especially twice a day 😫The way it feels like you have to change your habits and routine just to try and get even a little bit of engagement to feel successful 😭And then there are all the aesthetic things and books ownership you feel like you need to conform to. Plus judgement some people give you for enjoying certain (usually the popular) books 😒 And then things I like. The talent and gorgeous photos and unique styles 😍 Seeing book recs, especially when it's love for older and less well known books 🥰 The support and positivity of the community (I'm lucky and have not yet seen any real negativity first hand). The support has really been a strong this past week since I opended by bookmark store, @booktineusbookworms. Speaking of, you should totally buy some of my bookmarks 😉 Link to the store is in my bio. //CHALLENGES// #BookishBellesDec20 - Christmas Eve: Cozy reads #ChristmasXBookshelves20 - Merry Christmas: Books that make you happy #AMagicalDecember2020 - The Nutcracker: Festive reads & cozy vibes #LMSDecember2020 - #ThrowbackThursday to Six of Crows and the Ravka Map) #CourtOfReading - Christmas Eve //HASHTAGS// #openbook #bookmap #fantasymap #bookmark #fictional #booktineusbookmarks #six of crows #ravka #ketterdam #bookishmap #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #ausyabloggers #bookworm #bookdragon #booknerdigan #booklover https://www.instagram.com/p/CJKLWZMgvXg/?igshid=ip9wcpy37xm5

“You cannot shy away from yourself. Look the world in the eye, and it can do nothing to hurt you.” - Winterspell . . 🌟QOTD: Is there a book that reminds you of winter? Or what’s your favorite part about winter? . . Happy #SockSunday friends!! I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend!! I am exhausted from working but am debating going back today to help since we are short again 🤣 I know I’m crazy!! One book that always reminds me of winter is Winterspell by Claire LeGrand! It’s a nutcracker retelling that I randomly found some years ago and absolutely loooooved!! I’m guessing something happened though because it reads like there should be another book but alas I don’t think there will be and I am so so sad because I want to know how it’s supposed to end!! Yes it has a semi conclusive ending but soooo much is still left open and I want more!! I really need to find out stuff like that before I read and fall in love with a book!! What are some of your favorite wintery books? Have a great day!! . . #JollyBooksmas - Stuffed stockings #shelfiesunday #bookbookowlfestivities - Nutcracker: classic book #FandomBookishDec20 - Favorite genre #amagicaldecember2020 - Longclaw: long books #courtofreading - new books #bookscoasttocoastDec20 - recommend a book #winterwonderlandreads - Santa Claus: jolly characters . . #winterspell #clairelegrand #booksandsocks #winterreads #ventureswithbooks #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowbooks #rainbowshelf #bookblogger #readersofinsta #igbooks #booksofinstagram #booklovers #booksofig #readersgonnaread #bookpics #bookclub #bookstagrammer https://www.instagram.com/p/CJTn-2IA_5J/?igshid=1exia1juv0el

QOTD: Tell me your underated fave character from Throne of Glass? Or if you haven't read it, your favourite underrated character in general. Mine is always Elide. She kind of flies under the radar because she's quieter but she's so brave and smart and strong in a different way to the brazen, confident nature of Aelin, Manon, and Lysandra. Everyone underestimates her. Plus I love the romance with Lorcan a lot 🥰 #reppost Featured Candle: Terrasen, #gifted from @sparkandsparrowperth I'm counting down the days until my tin of this arrives so I can start burning this candle! I don't want to burn the only one I have yet 😂. The scent is SO GOOD, I love the citrus in it a lot. Keen to get yourself some candles? I have a link in the S+S store in my Linktree.

“It can take years to mold a dream. It takes only a fraction of a second for it to be shattered.” - The Kiss of Deception . . 🌟QOTD: have you ever listened to an audiobook? Did you like it? . . Hello friends and happy...ahhhh Tuesday? Someone please tell me it’s Tuesday. My brain is a bit fried from another crazy night at work but nothing a little nap won’t fix!! I absolutely looooove audiobooks!! In the summer I go for long walks and listen to an audiobook and it’s amazing (not so much come winter). I actually relistened to this series via audiobook this year and I forgot just how amazing this series is!! I love Lia and Rafe and Kaden and the narrators did a fantastic job with their voices for this series!! I definitely recommend this audiobook series!!
