I hope everyone has a great day!! . . #marriedtomagic #adancewiththefaeprince #adwtfp #elisekova #indieauthor #bookishart #bookprints #bookartprint #bookandflowers #booktography #booknerdigan #readingcommunity #bookhoarder #booknook #yabookstagram #readersgonnaread #toberead #allthebooks #readinggoals #booksaremagic #bookblogging #bookstagramfeatures #yafantasy #shelfie #bookporn #booksarelife https://www.instagram.com/p/Cic1ANsLX8z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Choices can mark a turn in fate that we might never get back.” - Monsters Born and Made . . 🌟QOTD: what book are you starting September with? . . Hello friends and happy Wednesday!! I’m a day late (stupid night shift throwing off my schedule) but I wanted to say happiest of release days to @tanviberwah and Monsters Born and Made!!! This book has everything!! If you don’t believe me check out the synopsis: Sixteen-year-old Koral and her older brother Emrik risk their lives each day to capture the monstrous maristags that live in the black seas around their island. They have to, or else their family will starve. In an oceanic world swarming with vicious beasts, the Landers―the ruling elite, have indentured Koral's family to provide the maristags for the Glory Race, a deadly chariot tournament reserved for the upper class. The winning contender receives gold and glory. The others―if they're lucky―survive. When the last maristag of the year escapes and Koral has no new maristag to sell, her family's financial situation takes a turn for the worse and they can't afford medicine for her chronically ill little sister. Koral's only choice is to do what no one in the world has ever dared: cheat her way into the Glory Race. But every step of the way is unpredictable as Koral races against competitors―including her ex-boyfriend―who have trained for this their whole lives and who have no intention of letting a low-caste girl steal their glory. As a rebellion rises and rogues attack Koral to try and force her to drop out, she must choose―her life or her sister's―before the whole island burns. #monstersbornandmade #debutrelease #newrelease #sourcebooks #bookblog #unitedbookstagram #bookpics #instagramreads #fantasybooks #readersofinsta #vscoreads #bookster #yalovin #readreadread #ireadya #bookaddicted #totalbooknerd #idratherbereading #bookrecs #readeveryday #rainbowbookshelf #sourcebooksfire https://www.instagram.com/p/CiNXhZ6rll0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“The power shall always belong to those who give their lives to the city.” - House of Earth and Blood . . 🌟QOTD: what’s a sequel you haven’t read yet? . . Hello friends and happy Monday!! Despite multiple friends telling me I need to read CC2 I just haven’t brought myself to do it yet! Don’t get me wrong I 100% want to read it but I’m not sure I’m in the mood for heavy fantasy and slow pace right now. One day soon hopefully I’ll get to it though!! Until then I am avoiding spoilers like the plague and surprisingly doing well at it so far!! I hope everyone has a great day!! . . #crescentcity #houseofearthandblood #sarahjmaas #cc1 #bloomsbury #dreamyandco #booktography #booknerdigan #readingcommunity #bookhoarder #booknook #yabookstagram #readersgonnaread #toberead #allthebooks #readinggoals #booksaremagic #bookblogging #bookstagramfeatures #yafantasy #shelfie #bookporn #booksarelife https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch3CDfDrHPT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Hades chuckled, leaning in so that when he spoke, his breath caressed her lips. "Oh, darling. You don't know what I'm capable of.” - A Touch of Darkness . . 🌟QOTD: do you have a favorite god? . . Happy Friday friends!! Ever since I can remember I have been obsessed with Hades. I’ve read every story I can about Hades and Persephone and I have loved every single one!! Definitely a favorite is A Touch of Darkness and I looooove that we get books entirely from Hades POV!!! I cannot get enough of this @thenubivagantcabinet art print!! There is not enough Hades/Persephone artwork so I absolutely NEED every single piece I can find!!

“People wish and the stars try to grant, but even as the stars sacrifice themselves and fall, so many wishes are wasted, just as so much love is lost.” - Signs of Cupidity . . 🌟QOTD: what are you currently reading? . . Hello friends and happy Wednesday!! I’m absolutely loving the Bonds that Tie series and have quickly made my way through books 1-3!!

There are so many gorgeous prints lately in the store so be sure to check them out and use my code VENTURES10 for a discount!! . . #bookishartprint #bookprint #cupidity #romanceseries #romancebooks #librariesofig #bookishcommunity #bibliophilelife #youngadultbooks #readersofig #lovetoreadbooks #booksofinsta #readingforfun #bookloversofinstagram #bookstagrammers #bookstagramcommunity #bibliophiles #bookwormlife #bookbloggersofinstagram #bookstagrammademedoit #bookreader #rainbowbookshelves https://www.instagram.com/p/ChpbYv0A4XY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“This world is dark and the night is unyielding; the least we can do is fill it with sweet, forbidden dreams.” - A Duel with the Vampire Lord . . 🌟QOTD: do you have a favorite vampire? . . 🎉 HAPPY RELEASE DAY TO @elise.kova AND A DUEL WITH THE VAMPIRE LORD!! . I absolutely LOVED this book!! Its no secret that I am a sucker for Elise's married to magic series!! Each story in the series is a stand alone but based in the same world. This one truly felt like its own world though. Especially since the vampires are so far removed from the rest of Midscape, you really didn't need to know anything about the world or its magic to understand it or fall in love with it! This book had all the best things including enemies to lovers, slow burn, vampires and of course magic and curses!

“You are meant for the sunlight, Lance Orion. So you’ll stand with me in it or else we’ll stay in the dark together.” - Heartless Sky . . 🌟QOTD: do you have a character you are obsessed with?!? . .
