Fantasy Friday! I haven't read a fantasy book since I finished the Red Queen series! I've been all about the romance 😬 I have some on my tbr (included in this photo) and want to get back into the fantasy world! I'm currently speeding through Beautiful Burn by @thejamiemcguire and I'm loving it! I'm so nervous for the last book 👀 I've almost 🤏 finished my degree! Only 900 words left to write and a bibliography! Can't believe its finally going to be over 😅 Qotd: Recommend me some Fantasy series that I should read! #amylittlefordauthor #amylittleford #fantasybookstagram #fantasyauthor #fantasybooks #fantasyfriday #fantasyfridays #fantasyflatlay #bookflatlay #flatlayoftheday #ilovebooks #bookblogger #bookblog #booknerdigans #bookobsessed #bookishfeatures #bookphotography #yalit #yabooks #currentlyreading #igreads (at Cambridgeshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdghIgnLMmt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

📚 𝗔 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗧𝗕𝗥 📚 This is definitely a bookstagram made me do it! I've seen this series everywhere and needed to see what all the hype was about! 😁 I'm currently in the middle of 2 series so I'm not really sure when I'll get to this one 😅 but let's use this post to hold me accountable, maybe? 😋 For many it is half term right now which means work is very busy 😬 but I'm still getting some reading in! I'm 𝟳𝟳% through Rules for Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson and I'm so intrigued to see what happens!

𝐀𝐃 - 𝐏𝐑 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 - 𝐀 𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐦 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 Thank you to @tandemcollectiveuk @harpercollinsuk and @pmagrs for the gifted copy of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒂, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝑻𝒆𝒅𝒅𝒚 🐼🧸😻 I absolutely loved it! It's basically a parody of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse (which I also loved). Whereas that was full of inspiring and thought provoking writing, this book explores our reality. We can't be perfect all the time and sometimes we are like Panda and just don't give a shit 🤣 I really enjoyed watching the live with Paul Magrs because we got to see where the inspiration came from, what he wants readers to get from the book and even draw the characters live. And today is release day! I'd definitely recommend grabbing yourself a copy! It will definitely make you laugh and leave a smile on your face and isn't that what we all need 😁 #amylittleford #amylittlefordauthor #pandacatdreadfulteddy #thepandathecatandthedreadfulteddy #paulmagrs #theboythemolethefoxandthehorse #charliemackesy #bookreview #releaseday #bookcollector #booknerd #bookworld #bookalicious #bookaddiction #bookaddicts #bookaddicted #booksandcoffee #coffeeandbooks #readingchallenge #currentread #bookseries #booklion #bookofthemonth #bookreviews #readabook #bookaesthetic #bookworms #readingisfundamental #bookrecommendation #bookaesthetic (at Cambridgeshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUdQPxQgMN_/?utm_medium=tumblr

As a teen all I read was fantasy but for some reason I had a period of time where I didn't at all 🤷‍♀️ Thanks to this series I'm back to absolutely loving my fantasy reads again and haven't stopped since! 🥰 I'm currently reading 𝐆𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐒𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐀𝐯𝐞𝐲𝐚𝐫𝐝 which is a series I've had for a long time 😅 My sister read it a long time ago, like most of the books we own and I'm finally getting round to it! 😝 I actually have two days off 🎉 Tomorrow I'm getting my hair cut and spending it with family! Hopefully I can get some reading time in as well☺ 𝑸𝒐𝒕𝒅: What's a genre you've always read? #amylittleford #amylittlefordauthor #acosf #acourtofsilverflames #sarahjmaas #feyrearcheron #nestaarcheron #fantasybook #fantasy #bookstagram #fantasybooks #booklover #books #book #bookworm #fantasyworld #bookstagrammer #bookish #bookaddict #booknerd #fantasynovel #fantasybookseries #fantasyartwork #darkfantasy #booksofinstagram #reading #bookaholic #fantasyauthor (at Cambridgeshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUDnfp5A7wy/?utm_medium=tumblr

📖 𝐍𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 📖 What I want to read before I get to House of Stars and Flowers on Mars: • Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix • This Too Shall Pass by @juliasamuelmbe • The Truth of You by @realiainsthomas This book has only just released (1st of April) and I can't wait to get to it. It's written by my very good friend @mssakshinarula and this is her 4th poetry collection! I definitely recommend reading her back log, too! 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐛: From the author of Loveish and The Art Of Staying Lost poetry series comes this poignant, sassy yet vulnerable collection of love poems, House Of Stars And Flowers On Mars. Sakshi weaves words like fine cashmere in this collection and is one of the few modern poets who bring glamour and the old world charm to contemporary poetry. Poetry can unsettle, soothe, elevate and enrich the soul. This collection of love poems does that effortlessly by painting pictures in nuanced verses that are soft and relatable.

AD - #gifted Today I'm spending some time working on my two assignments due at the end of the month. I hope to get most of it written before next week so that I can edit etc. I probably won't be reading as much (even though I haven't been reading much for a while 🤷‍♀️) because of these deadlines. I've also applied for a few jobs for some extra money. Wish me luck 🙏 Qotd: Do you listen to audiobooks?

🦠 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐲-𝐁𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐝 🦠 A @tandemcollectiveuk readalong! 𝐀𝐃 - #gifted This is a book that I really wanted as soon as I saw it on Tandem's newsletter! I cannot express how happy I am to have it! I just want to mention that the author wrote this in 2018/2019 before COVID19 even happened. 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐛: Only men are affected by the virus; only women have the power to save us all. The year is 2025, and a mysterious virus has broken out in Scotland--a lethal illness that seems to affect only men. When Dr. Amanda MacLean reports this phenomenon, she is dismissed as hysterical. By the time her warning is heeded, it is too late. The virus becomes a global pandemic--and a political one. The victims are all men. The world becomes alien--a women's world. What follows is the immersive account of the women who have been left to deal with the virus's consequences, told through first-person narratives. Dr. MacLean; Catherine, a social historian determined to document the human stories behind the male plague; intelligence analyst Dawn, tasked with helping the government forge a new society; and Elizabeth, one of many scientists desperately working to develop a vaccine. Through these women and others, we see the uncountable ways the absence of men has changed society, from the personal--the loss of husbands and sons--to the political--the changes in the workforce, fertility and the meaning of family. ________________________________ This book only released yesterday! If you want to join in the readalong then definitely grab yourself a copy!

👨‍❤️‍👨 B O O K R E V I E W : 👨‍❤️‍👨 . Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall . Rating: 5/5 stars Goodreads: 4.21 ⭐ . When I saw that Joe Jameson narrated this book on Audible I knew that I would want to read (listen) it and then I saw a brilliant review on @laurasloaninglibrary page my decision was clear. I used my September credit thinking that I would be able to listen to it in the car on the way to University but then I finished it in 3 days and I still haven't gone back to Uni yet! . I can say hands down this is the funniest book I've read (listened to). I drove for an hour home yesterday and spent it laughing my head off looking like a crazy person to anyone that saw me. Luc (Lucien) was an amazing MC and I was rooting for him from the very beginning. Oliver was perfect for him even though they didn't seem very similar at all. This being my third audio book, I haven't actually listened to a sex scene before like I did with this book. I was blushing and laughing like a child. . This is the first LGBT+ rom-com I've read and I liked how it dealt with the less obvious forms of homophobia. For instance, Luc's work only accepting if he behaved like a certain type of gay person. Also, Oliver's parents making jokes about not having grandchildren. I also related a lot to Luc and the situation with his dad. There are very good topics touched on in this book. . I would say I could see a lot of myself in Luc. I'm the one who would scream and shout in an argument rather than being a mediator, like Oliver. I could see a lot of my own relationship in theirs which I thought was really nice. I really loved all of the secondary characters, especially Lucs co-workers, Alex and Reese (who made me laugh constantly). I also loved that it was set very close to where I've lived! If you enjoy Rom-Coms then I definitely recommend this book! . #boyfriendmaterial #alexishall #amylittlefordauthor #amylittleford #lgbtbooks #gayromance #romcom #bookreviews #bookstagram #bookreview #books #bookworm #bookstagrammer #booklover #booksofinstagram #bookish #bibliophile #bookrecommendations #booknerd #bookreviewer #book #reading #readersofinstagram #bookblogger #booksbooksbooks (at Cambridge, Cambridgeshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFPv7O_lZlx/?igshid=j7etlxazd4mc

B O O K R E V I E W : . Loveish by @mssakshinarula ❤ . Rating: 4/5 stars! . Firstly, I would like to thank @NetGalley and Sakshi Narula for a eARC for an honest review. . This was the second time that I had read Loveish as I had read it in September 2018 soon after it was released. It was one of the first poetry anthologies that I had read and I loved it so much. I love being able to see an indie author releasing such a high standard of work! . The whole anthology is centred around love. As a reader, we go on a journey with Sakshi as she travels through different relationships and a huge array of emotions that I believe are very relatable. I have always enjoyed the end of this anthology the most because the 'Loveish' chapter and poems are pieces that I relate to the most. My favourite piece has to be 'love, me'. I love the way it is written like a letter to an ex and describes what the 'ex' is missing. Definitely felt that before. I also really liked the small pieces of art that were on a few of the pages and really liked the art for the poem 'keys'. I also noticed some of the added poems that Sakshi had recently added to the anthology and thought they were a great addition to the anthology. . I did notice that throughout the anthology there is a problem with the use of tenses. Sometimes the wrong tense is used or the tense switches when there isn't supposed to be a switch. I also had a problem with no capital letters for the titles. Overall, a brilliant read that will get your heart beating! . #sakshinarula #loveish #amylittlefordauthor #amylittleford #bookreviews #bookstagram #books #bookreview #bookworm #bookstagrammer #booklover #bookish #book #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #bookreviewer #reading #bookrecommendations #bookblogger #readersofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #bookclub #bookphotography #bookobsessed #igreads #read #booklovers #bookcommunity #goodreads #bookblog (at Poetry) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-rMXtylpm5/?igshid=17o3xmve4vp8f

I saw that @tandemcollectiveuk were doing a read along of #thefuries by @fatgirlphd which I had an ARC from @netgalley that I was behind on reading 🙈 so I thought I would join in! . I have never joined a read along and I'm sure I won't read it in 4 days but I'm enjoying it anyway! (And what a great cover!) .

B O O K R E V I E W : . Don't Tempt Me by @sylvia_day . Rating: 4/5 stars 🌟 . I was really excited to finally see Simon settle down and have a happy ending which I got! But obviously with a lot of great storytelling and action. I did wonder how Lysette had anything to do with it because it the last book they didn't get on at all. But then Sylvia Day hit us with a twist we weren't expecting and it worked really well! . I loved how the book started off with Marguerite's story with Saint Martin so that we understood the back story. While reading it I did wonder how this would link back to Simon but of course it did! I'm annoyed that this book took so long to read due to Uni assignments but it was worth it in the end. A great end to a good series! . #bookstagram #books #book #booklover #bookworm #bookish #reading #bibliophile #donttemptme #bookstagrammer #booknerd #bookaddict #amylittleford #booksofinstagram #bookaholic #read #bookphotography #bookshelf #instabooks #booklove #readersofinstagram #bookblogger #igreads #booksbooksbooks #booklovers #sylviaday #reader #bookcommunity #bookreview #amylittlefordauthor https://www.instagram.com/p/B7qGR2TlIS2/?igshid=sqnxfgytye5a

Spoken Word: I had to take our picture off the wall. I hid it away for another day. A day when I am ready to embrace the pain. Today is not that day. I never thought I could miss someone like I miss you. Our memories are branded on the inside of my brain. I am trying to hold on to them. I promise. But as the years go by certain parts seem to fade. All I am left with is your beautiful face. A picture only captured by my eyes. . - Amy Littleford . . #amylittleford #spokenword #bisexual #rip #heartofpoets #heartofpoetslgbt #heartofpoetsbloom #untwinemeuk #herheartpoetry #doortooursouls #veinheartartisans #inkinovators #bymepoetry #poets #amylittlefordauthor #poetry #poems #poet #poetryisntdead #poetess #poetryisnotdead #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #poem #writerslife #writerscorner #writer #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt-il3lAPpO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1608k0izxzkfu

I thought I was going crazy losing my mind. Happiness was a far off emotion that I couldn't reach. I thought that I could cope. I felt like I was being taken over by myself. A part of me that I had locked up but it was slowly breaking free. I promised myself that I would fight this. I don't know how long it will take or who I will be by the end of it. But please just be patient with me. . ©Amy Littleford 07.01.2018 (Photo of me) . . #amylittleford #authorsofinstagram #amylittlefordauthor #womenwhowrite #writer #wordgasm #words #wordporn #writerscommunity #writers #writerslife #writerscorner #heartofpoets #heartofpoetslgbt #doortooursouls #veinheartartisans #prose #poemsofig #poetry #poems #poetrygram #poet #poetryisntdead #poetess #photography #photographer #equalrights #equality #poetrycommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/BvsT0N2Bxon/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jpief9smaddt
