QOTD: What colour is your hair? I never know whether to call my hair dark blonde or light brown. Anyway this is such an odd question to ask. But I'm struggling. Also it fits the scrunchie I wanted to show off (the editing doesn't do this scrunchie justice). #reppost @craft_of_stars has a wide range scrunchies that will match any hair colour (see, there was a purpose to this question HAHA). If you buy some, remember to use BOOK10 to save on your order!! //CHALLENGES// #AmpersandFeb21 - #BeautifulBooks #RFABFeb21 - Favourite Character #BookBookOwlFruityFebruary - Peach: Book boyfriend/ girlfriend //HASHTAGS// #scrunchie #capturingthedevil #stalkingjacktheripper #sjtr #kerrimaniscalco #craftofstars #thomascresswell #audreyrose #paperback scrunchies #bookmerch #boosktagrammer #ausbookishfeatures #ausyabloggers #auskiwibooksta https://www.instagram.com/p/CLwOlz5Az3T/?igshid=1in7nnngsk8wg

QOTD: Which SJM couple is your favourite? Or if you haven't read any Sarah J Maas books, tell me one of your other favourite fictional couples. I love them all, especially the Throne of Glass couples. But I must say my top faves are Elide and Lorcan and I'm sad we only got to see their interactions in two books. I would read an entire series just about them. #reppost This booksleeve and fabric bookmark were #gifted from @craft_of_stars. the booksleeve actually buttons closed!! I love this design so much. Get yourself a booksleeve or fabric bookmark at the Craft of Stars store (link in my bio) and use BOOK10 at checkout to save! There is also a giveaway going on! Check out the latest Craft of Stars post for all the entry details. But essentially Jess wants to know how you use your CoS items! #mycraftofstars are used in a few different ways. My mermaid pouch (from a self care pack) is used to store my @booktineusbookmarks, and this Terrasen booksleeve is currently used to store all my CoS scrunchies 😂😂 //CHALLENGES// #AmpersandFeb21 - Love #gothandliterature - Prophecy #LMSFebruary2021 - Book Girlfriends #MyFandomObsessionsFeb21 - Aslan: true love #queensoffebruary - Swoon-worthy romance #Bookishbellesfeb21 - Genre Spotlight: Romance #starsinthedark - a slow burning flame #BookBookOwlFruityFebruary - Choc Dipped Strawberries: Romance #arcflames21 - OTP you don't talk about enough #RFABFeb21 - Valentine's Day //HASHTAGS// #sarahjmaas #bookmerch #booksleeve #bookmark #throneofglass #tog #bookstagram #popularbooks #OTP #hardback #hardcover #bookstack #craftofstars #auskiwibooksta #yafantasy #bookstagram #bookphotos #booknerdigan https://www.instagram.com/p/CLRQlwoA5lj/?igshid=71to48q6f1ip

QOTD: Did you get any exciting new books this month? (Aside from ACOSF 😂) Look at me being organised and posting a haul photo! I usually don't get photos of my stacks before the challenges use book haul as a prompt 😅 All these books except for one were bought by my family to bribe me for errands/ favours. The Immortal Heights is a delayed birthday present. Alll this means I've stuck to my buying ban! Well, except for a couple of ebook pre-orders I forgot about 🙈 And I may or may not have bought one book from a favourite author I couldn't resist because it's hard to get and almost out of stock in most places.... I'm pretending that doesn't count yet though because it won't arrive until next month 😉 //CHALLENGES// #AmpersandFeb21 - Haul #arcflames21 - Book #LMSFebruary2021 - Sci-fi Saturday #MyFandomObsessionsFeb21 - CS Lewis: #bookhaul #queensoffebruary - #StackSaturday #RFABFeb21 - Bought in Feb #starsinthedark - we fought our best //HASHTAGS// #Bookhaul #Bookaddict #bibliophile #bookpile #lore #alexandrabracken #raybearer #kingdomofthewicked #whisper #lynnettenoni #bookworm #ausyabloggers #ausbookishfeatures #booknerd #bookstagrammer #loveozya #bookphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CLyvryigIlR/?igshid=buh1535bkihw

QOTD: What are you reading? I'm exhausted and just realised I'm posting the same photo here and on my bookmark account (@booktineusbookmarks) today. 🙈 OOPS. But it's a good time to mention that my Etsy store is having a sale! 15% off the entire store if you're based in Australia. Link to the store is in my bio ☺️ To answer the question, I'm currently reading Avenged, the sequel to Ruined by Amy Tinterra (a review of which will be posted soon), and I'm rereading The Viscount Who Loved Me for the second time already this year... //CHALLENGES// #AmpersandFeb21 - Pleasant surprise #BooknerdFeb21 - Tissue Thursday #MedievalFeb - Princess #MyFandomObsessionsFeb21 - Queen Lucy the Valiant: young MCs #queensoffebruary - Epic fantasy #RFABFeb21 - Book & Bookmark #starsinthedark - heartrender #BookBookOwlFruityFebruary - Pear: Favourite couple //HASHTAGS// #theothersideofthesky #rattlethestars #throneofglass #booktineusbookmarks #terrasen #bookquote #reading #auskiwibooksta #prettybooks #booksandflowers #booksandmerch #bibliophile #ausyabloggers #aussiebookstagrammer https://www.instagram.com/p/CLthYpHAzo5/?igshid=1ovauq9w5jv2d

📖 Book Review: A Dance with Fate by Juliet Marillier Book 2 in the Warrior Bards trilogy. New Adult Historical Fantasy. Swipe for my full thoughts, but TLDR; If you enjoy tales rich with faerie folklore and filled with complex characters, you need to give Juliet Marillier a try. As a giant Marillier fan, I knew I was going to enjoy this new instalment in the Warrior Bards series but I didn’t realise just how much I’d love it. While it didn’t explore all the questions I had after the first book, I was still absorbed by the main story. I cannot wait to see how it all wraps up.

📖 Book Review: Warcross by Marie Lu YA Sci fi. First book in the Warcross duology Swipe for my full thoughts, but TLDR; I’m mad I waited so long to read this! I enjoyed the world a lot, but I have a feeling I’m going to enjoy the sequel so much more. All those things that were set up at the end were what I was hoping the entire novel would be.

QOTD: How do you get yourself out of a bookstagram slump? In case you can't tell from that question, I'm struggling to find motivation. To take photos, to post, to interact, everything. It's kind of extending into reading a bit as well, and is the reason I'm tempoarily taking a break from doing Spotlights (they take work, approaching others to get recs and reasons to read). Normally I'd take a break and just no stress, but I'm running out of photos so I kind of need to get my act together. //CHALLENGES// #queensoffebruary - Book with magic #MedievalFeb - Court #AmpersandFeb21 - Friendship //HASTHAGS// #retellings #yafantasy #auskiwibooksta #bookstack #bookworm #bookdragon #auskiwibooksta #aussiebookstagrammer #yalit #bookphoto #stackofbooks #readersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CLJfkCXgfXc/?igshid=trbhfn87hryc
