Happy #WaitingOnWednesday! What sort of books are you waiting to have more of? ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I need more pirate books in my life! Ones like 𝘋𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨 and 𝘛𝘰 𝘒𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘢 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘥𝘰𝘮, please. 😍 I'm hoping my ARC of 𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘛𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘩 from @fiercereads lives up to all my hopes and dreams! ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PS Isn't this TKAK-inspired tote bag from @fairyloot's August box lovely?! And their DOTPK shirt...it's so comfy I have already worn it so many times! ❤⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #igreads #whatimreading #bookblog #instareads #readingtime #ilovereading #bookpassion #alwaysreading #bookphoto #lovetoread #bookpost #bookishgirl #bookstagramit #booksmakemehappy #wellreadgirl #writerscommunity #yareads #booksaremagic #readersgonnaread #bookporn #booksonbooks #bookrecommendation #avidreader #postitfortheaesthetic #livemoremagic⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #fairyloot #fiercereads #daughterofthepirateking #tokillakingdom

Any big pet peeves you have regarding books? Certain types of characters or kinds of writing that drives you crazy? Tropes you hate? Or habits of others when you are trying to enjoy your reading? ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For instance, I think just about every book lover ever hates when someone interrupts their reading. I mean, can they not tell that we are currently immersed in an epic scene of life and death? Or the moment our OTP is about to admit their feelings for one another? Do they not see we are BUSY? ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I definitely get grouchy when someone starts talking to me mid-read. If you need me, please at least say excuse me and give me a second to finish the sentence. Or the chapter. Or the book.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Better yet, just go away. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Humans make me grouchy. Books, however, always understand... 😜📚❤⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I was trying to think of a grouchy character, Thorin Oakenshield came to mind. That pompous little dwarf spent way too much time hating on my man Bilbo! I'm glad he came around, in the end... A little late, but, you know. 🤷🏼‍♀️⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bookcommunity #booksandnature #bookgram #bookgeek #bookflatlay #totalbooknerd #booknookstagram #bookworm_insta #avidreader #booktag #betweenpages #bookalicious #bookstagramfeature #readingiscool #bookster #mybookfeatures #momentofmine #authorautumn #thehobbit #tolkientuesday

Ah, Monday...⁣ ⁣ How we all abhor thee. 🙈⁣ ⁣ So if you're needing a little #MondayMotivation, just remember that today is apparently Kick Butt Day. And there are amazing characters like Nikolai and Zoya and Nina in books like this that grace our world with their awesomeness. ⁣ ⁣ Go kick this Monday's butt, my friends! 💪🏻⁣ ⁣ Who are some kick-butt characters you love? ⁣ ⁣ OR what is one thing you are going to do today to kick this Monday in the face and show it who is boss? ⁣ ⁣ ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡⁣ ⁣ #kingofscars #leighbardugo #readerlife #allthebooks #bookishobsession #bookishlife #photooftheday #idratherbereading #booksoutdoors #fallaesthetic #authorautumn #fallvibes #sweaterweather #coverlove #jamestrevinorepost #americanbibliophile #cozyvibes #cozylife #readingtime #whimsicalfeatures

What are your must-have cozy day items? ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Some of mine are a cup of coffee, a book, my bed or a cozy spot on the couch with a blanket and pillow, Netflix, and my phone/laptop (for Insta and writing). 😊 But really, I can consume a whole day just with a book, coffee, and my bed. Let's be real. 😂⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Is today a lazy Sunday for you or one that requires you to do some work (like mine does 😭)? ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bookstoread #bookish #yawriterlife #yawritersofig #yafantasyauthor #yaauthorlife #bookishaesthethic #booktography #yabookstagram #booksbooksbooks #readergram #epicreads #fantasybooksofig #bookishloveaffair #girlreader #writerwoman #yalitlove #socksunday #booksfordays #bookishlove #bookjunkie #readingstagram #featuremybooks #livelifebeautifully #authorautumn #sundayvibes #fallvibes #cozymoments #janeausten #snuggleweather

Today's #authorautumn challenge is harvest. When I think of fall and harvests, I often think of all the vegetables my parents would be able to gather in the late summer and early fall from the gardens they so carefully tended. I also think of days of family apple picking, and my mom's apple pies and famous apple cake. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Autumn is a bittersweet time for me. It has always felt this way. Maybe because it is filled with change and is a goodbye to my favorite season.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Now I feel the ache in my bones more acutely, because it reminds me of the first bitter days when my family was broken in two.⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣To be perfectly honest, I might post quirky and funny photos on Instagram, but lately, I have not been doing very well. It's been a painful reckoning this last month, to realize that five years have passed without my dear parents. It's also been a painful and lonely transition, to live on the other side of the country from family and closest friends. And my new job has been a whirlwind--taxing, stressful, uncertain. I'm lonely and wildly out of my comfort zone. This is absolutely not the hardest thing I have survived--look at that grief mountain I have managed to make a little smaller!--but it certainly isn't the easiest. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ This post is a lot more vulnerable than I had originally intended for it to be, but there it is. Don't be mistaken--I will still smile and laugh and post those goofy selfies of mine, because that is who I am. But today, I'm also going to take some time to allow myself to be sad, because it's OK. ❤ And sometimes that is part of taking care of yourself. Of surviving. Of healing. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ I hope this post doesn't serve as a downer, but as a reminder that it's OK to be real, to not be OK, to need to take time to grieve difficult things, whatever they may be. Much love, dear friends. 💙⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ #yalife #yalit #readergirl #writergirl #bookfeature #bookaddict #bookcommunity #booksandnature #bookgram #bookgeek #bookflatlay #totalbooknerd #bookishgirl #booknookstagram #bookworm_insta #avidreader #booksbooksandmorebooks #readeveryday #booktag #betweenpages #bookalicious #bookstagramfeature #readingiscool #bookster #mybookfeatures

Do you have some favorite bookish shops you've discovered because of bookstagram? ⁣ ⁣ I love @beaconbookbox and I'm so excited and honored to be a Box Assistant! This stunning Red Rising-inspired water bottle and this Divergent-inspired lanyard came in their September box. I have been using the water bottle daily at work (an English teacher has to rep her books!) and I'm still deciding how I want to use the lanyard. I have a Wonder Woman lanyard I currently use for my work ID... Do I want to switch them out or use this one for something else? 🤔 I love all of the creative, useful items the Beacon Family puts in their boxes!⁣ ⁣ Be sure to use my code RACHEL5 for a discount on your BBB purchases! 😍⁣ ⁣ ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡⁣ ⁣ #bbbpower#bookaholic #booknerdigans #bookstagram #yalovin #bibliophile #readerlife #writerlife #authorlife #allthebooks #bookishobsession #booksbooksbooks #whatimreading #bookdragon #bookblogger #bookishlifestyle #bookishlife #amreading #amwriting #bookcommunity #becauseofreading #bookstagrammersunite #beaconbookbox
