“Knowledge always has the potential to be dangerous. It is a more powerful weapon than any sword or spell.” - Sorcery of Thorns . . 🌟QOTD: What character from a book do you wish was your friend? . . Happy Friday friends! Are you excited for the weekend?!? Sadly I work Saturday Sunday so nothing too exciting from me but hopefully some good reading time!! I would absolutely love to be friends with Elisabeth and see all the cool libraries and explore them all with her!! This is one book that while I enjoyed it as a stand alone I totally want a spin off still based in this world because it was so magical!! Maybe one day it will happen!! Have a great weekend! . . #Fandombookishsep20 - Day 25: Magical Object #SJMseptember2020 - Day 25: Yrene Towers - book that healed you #TumblesoverBooks - Day 25: friends to lovers trope . . #sorceryofthorns #margaretrogerson #dreamyandco #ventureswithbooks #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowbooks #rainbowshelf #standalone #alwaysreading #toberead #bookishcommunity #allthebooks #bookobsessed #readingismagic #bookstagramit #avidreader #readersgonnaread #bookshelf #booksonbooks #bookpics https://www.instagram.com/p/CFkGLtOALjv/?igshid=qu6o7bppt3nq

“I was determined to be both pretty and fierce...Just because I was interested in a man’s job didn’t mean I had to give up being girly.” - Stalking Jack the Ripper . . 🌟QOTD: who are some of your favorite auto-buy authors? . . Happy Sunday friends!! It’s time for another cosplay this time inspired by one of my all time favorite ladies, Audrey Rose Wadsworth!! I came into this series a little bit late but fell head over heels in love with it!! The characters are still some of my favorites and I love all the mystery solving!! Plus I am all about forensics and science!! I also am super lucky to have met Kerri Maniscalco twice and she is the sweetest woman EVER!!! She has quickly become an auto buy author for me!! Fun fact about this photo my Grandpa (who I was super close with) was a dentist but he had these two super old medical books that I got when he passed away. They are two of my most precious books and every time I see them I think of him. The book I’m holding in this photo is one of them! And yes that is a real scalpel! Definitely almost cut myself a time or two with it! But despite all that I had such a blast with this cosplay and cannot wait to do more of Audrey Rose!!! . . #Fandombookishsep20 - Day 27: Olaf - Character that makes you laugh #SJMseptember2020 - Day 27: Don’t let the hard days win - inspirational character #Bookstaduosept20 - Day 27: pages and pages of friends: #shelfiesunday . . #stalkingjacktheripper #huntingprincedracula #escapingfromhoudini #capturingthedevil #kerrimaniscalco #bookcosplay #cosplaygirl #ventureswithbooks #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowbooks #rainbowshelf GENERATE #readingforpleasure #bookishaesthetic #reader #readingisfundamental #bookstagramit #igbooks #bookdragon #bookloversofinstagram #booksconnectus https://www.instagram.com/p/CFpBkxZAHm1/?igshid=1bp604ukimkmz

“If I cannot be better than them, I will become so much worse.” - The Cruel Prince . . 🌟QOTD: Do you like novels that end on a cliffhanger? . . Happy Saturday friends!! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! Sadly I’m off to work tonight but that’s okay! I absolutely love a good cliff hanger!!

“Being a hero doesn’t mean you’re invincible. It just means that you’re brave enough to stand up and do what’s needed.” - The Mark of Athena . . 🌟QOTD: What are some of your favorite spin off series? . . Happy Monday friends!! Well that weekend flew by!! I have a couple days off then it’s back to work but I’m going to use that time to hopefully finish the Lux series cause I am addicted!! I also looooove @illumicrate collectible tins! They are so useful for holding all sorts of things and look so gorgeous on a bookshelf!! I loved Percy Jackson when it first came out so I was hesitant about the Heroes of Olympus when it was announced. I was excited for more Percy and Annabeth but nervous about going back into this world with new characters too. But Rick did not let us down (he never has) and I looooved this series just as much as the first!! Have you read the Heroes I’d Olympus series?!? . . #Fandombookishsep20 - Day 28: Brave - Adventurous character #SJMseptember2020 - Day 28: Goldryn - books and blades . . #illumicrateaug2020 #percyjackson #rickriordan #theheroesofolympus #illumicrateunboxing #illumicrate #ventureswithbooks #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowbooks #rainbowshelf #instabooks #toberead #bookstagramcommunity #bibliophilelife #bookpics #bookwormsunite #alwaysreading #bookloversofinstagram #igbooks #bookstagrammademedoit https://www.instagram.com/p/CFrqukuA7R8/?igshid=o8b94ievyd5q

“Even the most unbreakable of spells are meant to be broken.” - Dorothy Must Die . . 🌟QOTD: Do you have any pets? And if not what kind of pet would you want? . . Happy Wednesday friends!! I have been waiting FOREVER to post this cosplay photo!! This is my family dog Delilah, but we all call her Lu or LuLu. She’s a rescue and a Cairn Terrier (aka Toto but lighter in color) so of course I had to do a Dorothy cosplay with her!!! Despite how happy she looks in this photo, she wasn’t super happy with the amount of times we had to take this photo but absolutely loooooved all the treats she got!! I haven’t read this series yet but I have had it on my shelves forever (shocker I know!). I definitely need to get to it sooner rather than later!! But I just started reading the Lux series and am devouring the books!!! I finished Obsidian and am already half way through Onyx and still cannot get enough!! I hope everyone has a wonderful day!! . . #Fandombookishsep20 - Day 23: Mother Knows Best - Motherly Character #SJMseptember2020 - Day 23: Bryce Quinlan - character you’d party with #Bookstaduosept20 - Day 23: most memorable friend . . #cosplay #bookcosplay #dogsofinstagram #dorothymustdie #thewickedwillrise #yellowbrickroad #theendofoz #daniellepaige #cosplaygirl #ventureswithbooks #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowbooks #rainbowshelf #toberead #bookishaesthetic #bookflatlay #bookishlife #bookdragon #bookshelf #booksaremagic https://www.instagram.com/p/CFetUfSArDi/?igshid=1fv9vw7t9q42f

“We may be small, and we may be young, but we will shake the world for our beliefs.” - Priory of the Orange Tree . . 🌟QOTD: What is a book that intimidates you? . . Happy Saturday friends!! This book scares the pants off me!! Not only because it’s a hefty size but also because I’ve read some of the authors other books and they are deep!! Don’t get me wrong I will conquer this beast...at some point...and definitely on my kindle!! But until then I’ll stick to my nice 400-600 page books!! It’s yet another rainy, cold day here and it’s honestly the worst!! Come back sunshine!!! But hopefully next week we will get more sunshine especially since I want to take some book photos!!
