QOTD: What is your favourite summer book? ⁣ ⁣ “On the island of By-the-Sea you could always smell two things: salt and magic.”⁣ ⁣ Mine is Summer of Salt, this is an incredible atmospheric and magical novel that follows Georgina and her family who live on a strange island called By-the-Sea. Her family own the only Inn on the island, and ever summer a large groupé of people they call birdheads visit the island in search of a special bird they call Annabella. She flys to the island every summer to lay her eggs, except this summer she is missing.⁣ ⁣ This book also explores some darker issues, about rape and rape culture throughout the story. I was not expecting these issues to be explored and was a little shocked, so please be cautious if that is a trigger for you.⁣ ⁣ #summerreads #sapphicbooks #summerbooks #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #booklove #avidreader #booksforlife #bookreviewer #Bloggerstribe #Bloglife #smallblogger #bookreview #bibliofeature #summerbookselfie #summervibes #biblio_feature #slowandsimpledays #seeksimplicity #rusticpages (at New Brunswick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCtUmiHg4jW/?igshid=1x32bqvgm8rlq

💬 Do you have any siblings? . Thank you to @simonteen for gifting me this copy of Yolk by @choitotheworld! This sounds like an intense and emotional read about mental health and sibling relationships. . . . s u m m a r y ⇣ From New York Times bestselling author Mary H.K. Choi comes a funny and emotional story about two estranged sisters switching places and committing insurance fraud to save one of their lives. Jayne Baek is barely getting by. She shuffles through fashion school, saddled with a deadbeat boyfriend, clout-chasing friends, and a wretched eating disorder that she’s not fully ready to confront. But that’s New York City, right? At least she isn’t in Texas anymore, and is finally living in a city that feels right for her. On the other hand, her sister June is dazzlingly rich with a high-flying finance job and a massive apartment. Unlike Jayne, June has never struggled a day in her life. Until she’s diagnosed with uterine cancer. Suddenly, these estranged sisters who have nothing in common are living together. Because sisterly obligations are kind of important when one of you is dying. . . . h a s h t a g s ⇣ #yolk #maryhkchoi #yareads #yabooks #yabookstagram #contemporarybooks #alwaysreading #booksbooksbooks #bibliophilelife #igreads #instabooks #biblio_feature #totalbooknerd #booklove #readersofinstagram #readersofig #readersgonnaread #bookpicture #bookphotography #bookster #thebookstagram #themagicofbookstagram #booksonig #lovetoread https://www.instagram.com/p/CNLvDpenZ5f/?igshid=1p5i73dws4xzb

💬 What are some of your favorite weekend activities? . Today I’m spending the day with my boyfriend at a local brewery listening to live music and enjoying the beautiful weather we’re having. I couldn’t ask for a more perfect Saturday. 💕 . Thank you to @tlcbooktours & @greenleafbookgr for gifting this ARC copy of THE ESSENCE OF NATHAN BIDDLE by #JWilliamLewis! This one releases June 1st and sounds incredible. It’s a southern gothic novel that I’ll be adding to my summer reading for sure. Check out the full summary below and let me know if you’ll be adding this one to your TBR! . . . s u m m a r y ⇣ A subtly wicked, almost Southern Gothic tale of existential angst told by 18-year-old Kit Biddle, an anti-Gumpian southern boy struggling with the complexities of life. The story unfolds against a backdrop of painful chaos: Kit’s revered uncle, Nathaniel Tyler Biddle, Jr., has sacrificed his only son on direct and specific orders, according to Rev. Biddle, from God himself. As Kierkegaard has suggested, the comic and the tragic converge on Kit’s desperate search for meaning in a willy-nilly world of opaque walls and filtered light. The enigmatic Anna appears with all the attributes of Kit’s yearning and imagination and then, just like that, she disappears like a phantom in a fog, only to be replaced by the enigmatic Sarah who reverses the roles and projects onto Kit all her desires and imaginings. Standing on one leg in the darkness, Death beckons to Kit with a promise of light and comfort but instead leaves him lying in his own blood on hot pavement with neither clarity nor relief. Who is Kit Biddle? He may actually be Nathan Biddle but who in the world is that? When the fog dissipates—if the clarity he seeks finally appears—does Kit really want the answers he finds? . . . h a s h t a g s ⇣ #TheEssenceofNathanBiddle #southernfiction #literaryfiction #bookclub #bookstagrammer #mybookfeatures #biblio_feature #bookishlove #bookaddict #shelfiesunday #bookshelf #vasaglefurniture #shelfiedecor #bookishlife #readersofinstagram #readersofinsta #alwaysreading #weekendvibes #weekendmood #cozystyle #hyggelife #livingmybestlife #aquietstyle #seekthesimplicity (at Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPMPYYqN7nn/?utm_medium=tumblr

💬 Happy Sunday! How are you spending your day? . It’s gorgeous here today! I’ll be spending as much time as possible outdoors enjoying it. . . Thank you to @simonteen for gifting me a copy of #OfCursesandKisses by @sandhyamenonbooks! I absolutely LOVED the #WhenDimpleMetRishi series!! Of Curses and Kisses is the first book in a new series set in an elite boarding school, and I’m so here for this!!! . . . ✩ s u m m a r y ⇣ The first novel in a series set at an elite international boarding school, that’s a contemporary spin on Beauty and the Beast. Will the princess save the beast? For Princess Jaya Rao, nothing is more important than family. When the loathsome Emerson clan steps up their centuries-old feud to target Jaya’s little sister, nothing will keep Jaya from exacting her revenge. Then Jaya finds out she’ll be attending the same elite boarding school as Grey Emerson, and it feels like the opportunity of a lifetime. She knows what she must do: Make Grey fall in love with her and break his heart. But much to Jaya’s annoyance, Grey’s brooding demeanor and lupine blue eyes have drawn her in. There’s simply no way she and her sworn enemy could find their fairy-tale ending…right? His Lordship Grey Emerson is a misanthrope. Thanks to an ancient curse by a Rao matriarch, Grey knows he’s doomed once he turns eighteen. Sequestered away in the mountains at St. Rosetta’s International Academy, he’s lived an isolated existence—until Jaya Rao bursts into his life, but he can't shake the feeling that she’s hiding something. Something that might just have to do with the rose-shaped ruby pendant around her neck… As the stars conspire to keep them apart, Jaya and Grey grapple with questions of love, loyalty, and whether it’s possible to write your own happy ending. . . . ✩ h a s h t a g s ⇣ #sandhyamenon #pursuepretty #visualcrush #makeitblissful #darlingdaily #chooselovely #seekthesimplicity #capturequite #jamestrevinorepost #simpleandstill #everysquareastory #readya #biblio_feature #bookstagram #styleithappy #bookgram #mybookfeatures #bookshelf #shelfiesunday #shelfie #rainbowshelves #shelfiedecor #creativebookstagram #bedroomdecor https://www.instagram.com/p/CBI_iN3HthL/?igshid=c78lgxqvtqqp

💬 What was your last book purchase? . I’m so happy to have this gorgeous copy of The Wolf and the Woodsman in my hands! This is a must-read for me! Did you grab a copy of this beauty when it released this week? . Thank you to @harpervoyagerus for gifting me this copy! . . . s u m m a r y ⇣ In her forest-veiled pagan village, Évike is the only woman without power, making her an outcast clearly abandoned by the gods. The villagers blame her corrupted bloodline—her father was a Yehuli man, one of the much-loathed servants of the fanatical king. When soldiers arrive from the Holy Order of Woodsmen to claim a pagan girl for the king’s blood sacrifice, Évike is betrayed by her fellow villagers and surrendered. But when monsters attack the Woodsmen and their captive en route, slaughtering everyone but Évike and the cold, one-eyed captain, they have no choice but to rely on each other. Except he’s no ordinary Woodsman—he’s the disgraced prince, Gáspár Bárány, whose father needs pagan magic to consolidate his power. Gáspár fears that his cruelly zealous brother plans to seize the throne and instigate a violent reign that would damn the pagans and the Yehuli alike. As the son of a reviled foreign queen, Gáspár understands what it’s like to be an outcast, and he and Évike make a tenuous pact to stop his brother. As their mission takes them from the bitter northern tundra to the smog-choked capital, their mutual loathing slowly turns to affection, bound by a shared history of alienation and oppression. However, trust can easily turn to betrayal, and as Évike reconnects with her estranged father and discovers her own hidden magic, she and Gáspár need to decide whose side they’re on, and what they’re willing to give up for a nation that never cared for them at all. . . . h a s h t a g s ⇣ #thewolfandthewoodsman #avareid #fantasybooks #historicalfiction #retelling #bookstagram #booklover #currentlyreading #bibliophile #mybookfeatures #jamestrevinorepost #biblio_feature #bookish #bookphotography #weekendreads #weekendfun #deskdecor #workfromhome #bookishphotography #readersofig #readingtime #ireadfantasy #mythology #hyggeaesthetic #hyggelifestyle #bookishlifestyle (at My Desk) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQBbKKGtQcC/?utm_medium=tumblr

💬 If you could travel anywhere right now, where would you choose to go? . I’ve always wanted to go to an island where the sand is soft and clean, and I can see my feet through the ocean water.

💬 If you could make three wishes that would be granted immediately, what would they be? . Thank you to @gallerybooks for gifting me this copy of The Drowning Kind by @jennifermcmahonwrites! This sounds like such a unique premise and right up my alley. Is this one on your TBR yet? . . . s u m m a r y ⇣ Be careful what you wish for. When social worker Jax receives nine missed calls from her older sister, Lexie, she assumes that it’s just another one of her sister’s episodes. Manic and increasingly out of touch with reality, Lexie has pushed Jax away for over a year. But the next day, Lexie is dead: drowned in the pool at their grandmother’s estate. When Jax arrives at the house to go through her sister’s things, she learns that Lexie was researching the history of their family and the property. And as she dives deeper into the research herself, she discovers that the land holds a far darker past than she could have ever imagined. In 1929, thirty-seven-year-old newlywed Ethel Monroe hopes desperately for a baby. In an effort to distract her, her husband whisks her away on a trip to Vermont, where a natural spring is showcased by the newest and most modern hotel in the Northeast. Once there, Ethel learns that the water is rumored to grant wishes, never suspecting that the spring takes in equal measure to what it gives. . . . h a s h t a g s ⇣ #thedrowningkind #jennifermcmahon #mysterythriller #mysterybooks #alwaysreading #bookworm #bibliophile #bookphoto #cozyvibes #cozybedroom #booksbooksbooks #booknerd #bookcommunity #biblio_feature #bookishglee #bookaddict #mybookfeatures #totalbooknerd #culturetripbooks #readersofig #readersofinstagram #readingcommunity #readingtime #readingmakesmehappy #bookfan https://www.instagram.com/p/CNr5ydRH-OX/?igshid=qzbdrz6u909m
