Time for another Book of the Month! I'm always so excited when I get an email telling me it's time to pick my books!

This month's featured … Continue reading Unboxing: Book of the Month July 2018

Owl Crate's April theme was Shadows & Secrets, and boy was I excited for this box!

What books are on your February TBR? . I’m going to do one less challenge this month, and hope I can make it though most of these at least! I’m really looking forward to finally reading one of Jay Kristoff’s books, other than the Illuminae files, and to rereading Brave New World. I kind of hated it in high school, but I think I might like it more this time around. Ok, maybe like is a strong word, it is supposed to be disturbing... . @readingrivalry #readingrivalry #rrsweetbutpsycho . . . #booksofinstagram #book #bookstagram #bookworm #bookaholic #booknerd #bookphotography #bibliophile #bookblogger #bookish #booklover #bookcover #igbooks #igreads #ireadya #yalit #bookishcommunity #ipreview via @preview.app
Have you ever been to a convention? . I used to be suuuuuuper into anime and manga, so I did my best to convince my parents to take me to an anime convention (Sugoi con!). I think in middle school? Jk, when I was 15. I had a job that I had to take time off. I actually won a weekend pass, which was pretty persuasive. 😂 I was really fun! Especially because I was in high school and I always felt like an outsider or a weirdo just for liking what I liked, and it was amazing to be surrounded by so many people who were so passionate about the same things! I would love to make it to another con someday (maybe one of those book cons? 😂 Or SDCC would be hella cool.). . @foxandwit #fnwreadchallenge - about a prince . . . #booksofinstagram #book #bookstagram #bookworm #bookaholic #booknerd #bookphotography #bibliophile #bookblogger #bookish #booklover #bookcover #igbooks #igreads #ireadya #yalit #bookishcommunity #geekerella #ashleyposton #nerdsunite #ipreview via @preview.app
What are your hobbies (other than reading. If you’re here, that’s a given 😉😂). . Uhhh, I ask that, but can’t immediately think of anything. 😅 Let’s see, health and fitness, video games, learning... man, outside of being a reader, I might just be boring. 😂 . @foxandwit #fnwreadchallenge - sword on cover . . . #booksofinstagram #book #bookstagram #bookworm #bookaholic #booknerd #bookphotography #bibliophile #bookblogger #bookish #booklover #bookcover #igbooks #igreads #ireadya #yalit #bookishcommunity #taranwanderer #prydainchronicles #lloydalexander #ipreview via @preview.app
How do you light your photos? Natural or electrical? . Oops, I took another unintentional break from bookstagram... Honestly, my main issue has been light. I always use natural light for my pics, as my electric lights are all crappy and yellow/orange. 🙄 And right now, thanks to winter and work, the only daylight I have to work with is during the weekend. And I’ve been really lazy during the last few weekend. 😅 I recently rediscovered and spent a lot of time playing The Sims 4, I’ve actually been less lazy and have been exercising and meal planning/prepping, and part of me just doesn’t like my pics. I’m a big fan of both minimal photos and those almost overly stuffed with stuff, and parts of me want to do both, which obviously isn’t possible. So I’ve been going minimal, and it feels really boring/repetitive. Idk. . @foxandwit #fnwreadchallenge - 2 word title . . . #booksofinstagram #book #bookstagram #bookworm #bookaholic #booknerd #bookphotography #bibliophile #bookblogger #bookish #booklover #bookcover #igbooks #igreads #ireadya #yalit #bookishcommunity #rebelangels #libbabray #ipreview via @preview.app
Do you buy holiday clothes? . I mean, you can only wear them for a short period of time... but I love it all anyway. I’ve got quite a few Christmas sweaters (Ho Ho Hodor is my newest and I adore it!), a pair of Christmas leggings, lots of Christmas/winter socks, and at least one t-shirt or pair of socks for most other holidays. . @readingrivalry #readingrivalry #rrbooksarekryptonite . . . #booksofinstagram #book #bookstagram #bookworm #bookaholic #booknerd #bookphotography #bibliophile #bookblogger #bookish #booklover #bookcover #igbooks #igreads #ireadya #yalit #bookishcommunity #agameofthrones #gameofthrones #asongoficeandfire #hohohodor #christmassweater #ipreview @preview.app
What book(s) are you most anticipating in 2019? . I think at the top of my list is King of Scars. After that... uhh... I’ll have to consult a list of books coming out. 😅 Oh, Finale and Wicked King! I’m sure there are a loooot more I just can’t think of them right now. . @bookbattle #bookbattle #bbhappyholigays . . . booksofinstagram #book #bookstagram #bookworm #bookaholic #booknerd #bookphotography #bibliophile #bookblogger #bookish #booklover #bookcover #igbooks #igreads #ireadya #yalit #bookishcommunity #leighbardugo #shadowandbone #siegeandstorm #ruinandrising #grishatrilogy #grisha #grishaverse #ipreview @preview.app
