Q: Do you still book blog? Have you ever had a book blog? I'm asking again because I need to follow more. I miss reading blogs and so many of my old favourites don't post much anymore (if at all) because the audience is so diminished now. Almost all of the old audience has migrated to other social media platforms. Blogging was always my favourite book community platform honestly. I started in 2010 on a small blog of my own that no longer exists. Then in 2013 I started to contributing to a blog called Readers in Wonderland (which also no longer exists because my coblogger and I got busy and missed the domain renewal due date in 2018 😭) and became more active on Tumblr (an account that still exists but I always forget to update 😅). Last year I finally got back into it, by contributing to @happyindulgence book blog, and it's been so wonderful to be back. I love being back and writing different types of posts again, but sometimes it feels like shouting into a void compared to the community it used to be. //CHALLENGES// #booksarepugaliciousjuly21 - Susannah (The Summer I Turned Pretty): comfort reads #disneyladiesjuly21 - Wendy: character you'd name a pet or child after #MyFandomObsessionsJuly21 - ...and that makes us mighty.

Q: What is your favorite book you read in July?. Me, actually posting a wrap up post on the last day of the month?! AMAZING!. Full wrap up post on the blog now, link in bio. In July, I read 9 books total – this seems to be my monthly average these days! The month started off a little rocky but once I found my footing in books, I read a lot of 4 and 5 star reads so I’m really happy about that!. It's hard to pick just ONE favorite this month, but if I had to pick, I'd say Firekeeper's Daughter was my overall favorite. A mystery/thriller with Native American characters with contemporary Native American culture and language (Anishinaabemowin) prevalent throughout the book. Kept me on the edge of my seat and intrigued the entire time. I just finished Malibu Rising yesterday and once again, Taylor Jenkins Reid surpasses my expectations. I would like to live inside of a Taylor Jenkins Reid book please and thank you. She has such a way with words and setting the scene, I feel like I am really THERE. Her storytelling ability is unlike anything else. I loved Mary Jane as well - so as you can tell, I have a thing for historical fiction set in the 1970s/80s eras!. #WrapUp - #BombBooks721, #AlltheBooksJuly21, #ForShelfSake, #MyFandomObsessionsJuly21, #WishyWashyWishful, #booksarepugaliciousjuly21, #bookishcoven, #readgushjuly21, #arcmusic21, #RFABJuly21 #summerreading #JulyWrapUp #MonthlyWrapup #MonthlyReads #JulyReads #BookReviewer #BookBlogger #Bookstagram #Bookish #Bibliophile #Bookworm #BoostingYA #BookishLife #BooksOfIG #Bookstagrammer #bookwrapup #librarybookstagram #booksandvegetables https://www.instagram.com/p/CSAnmW1L5JO/?utm_medium=tumblr

📖 Book Review: The Vanishing Throne by Elizabeth May Book two of the Falconer trilogy. YA historical fantasy. Swipe for my full thoughts, but TLDR; Once again, I’m wondering how this series isn’t more popular?! I loved this second instalment of the Falconer trilogy. It has a vicious world, lots of faerie lore, and fantastic characters. I feel like all I do is gush about these books as I sink into the book hangovers they give me! I’ve now read four books by Elizabeth May (two Falconer books, and two of her historical romance written Katrina Kendrick) and I can confirm I have a new auto buy author. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 //CHALLENGES// #BookSummerLovin - Kell/Lila: From Different Worlds #LMSJuly2021 - Pretty #MyFandomObsessionsJuly21 - ...when that happens, let me know.

Q: What's the last book that lived up to the hype for you?. Welcome back to another summer of #BooksandFlowers! 🌸🌼 I wish I started sooner because a lot of the lilies in my yard are already past their prime, RIP me returning to work in the office and having a lot less bookstagram time. Anyways. I've seen Firekeeper's Daughter around for a few months now and many friends have said how much they enjoyed it, so I finally decided to give this a try – and I’m so glad I did. There was a lot of hype around this book and I’m pleased to say, it exceeds that hype. This book is everything I never knew I wanted. A mystery/thriller with Native American characters with contemporary Native American culture and language (Anishinaabemowin) prevalent throughout the book. This book is set in 2004, so while its not present, it’s still contemporary. This is considered “young adult” but I’d consider this on the higher end of YA, or even “new adult” – the characters are seniors in high school or in college – but this is a story everyone should read and can benefit from. The author herself is Native American and I truly cannot think of another young adult contemporary novel about Native Americans by a Native American. I loved the exploration of modern Native experience and culture throughout this book, including the spoken language of Anishinaabemowin. I listened to this as an audiobook and I loved hearing Anishinaabemowin spoken. Some books feel forced with another language sprinkled in with English – this never once felt forced and only made the novel feel more cohesive and genuine. This is going to be one of my favorite books of 2021, I’m calling it now.

📖 Book Review: The Last Migration by Charlotte McConaghy Adult literary fiction, standalone. Swipe for my full thoughts, but TLDR; The Last Migration is a wonderful, complex novel that I don’t have the words to describe. Masterfully woven, it explores some challenging, profound themes and really makes you think and feel. It has left me speechless. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you to the publisher for providing this book for review (well, they sent it to @happyindulgence, who passed it onto me so I could read it for the blog) //CHALLENGES// #MyFandomObsessionsJuly21 - ...hands of blue.

Q: How do you store your bookmarks? I need ideas 😆 Right now I have them in a draw string bag, but that bag is getting full and it can take a long time to find a bookmark if I'm looking for something specific. As I make more, I need a better system to organise them somehow... I feel like that's something I'd start of trying to do only for have it to fall apart very quickly 😂 In an ideal world, I think I'd have some bookish display mugs on my shelves to put them into. Unfortunately, all my shelf space is going toward double stacking my books at the moment so no room for mugs. 🔖 Legendary bookmarks now available in my Etsy store @booktineusdesigns (link is in my bio). Yes, I've been posting a lot of my bookmarks lately because a) I need to use up the photso and b) I am the worst at self promotion and am trying to make an effort for once. //CHALLENGES// #Allthebooksjuly21 - Spin Off Series (Once Upon a Broken Heart coming soon) #disneyladiesjuly21 - Ariel: transformation #MyFandomObsessionsJuly21 - I realize certain words were exchanged...
