“She didn't want someone to hold her while she cried and tell her it would be all right. She wanted fury, she wanted rage, she wanted a villain to tell her she'd done exactly what she needed to do.” - Stephanie Garber, The Ballad of Never After . . . Alright, if you haven’t read the first two books in this series yet, I implore you to drop what your doing and do so! Dive into this beautifully-written fantasy world that is all about adventure, love, betrayal, trust, loyalty, and closed doors being opened! I seriously loved this sequel to Once Upon A Broken Heart, and I can’t wait for the third installment! Have you read The Ballad of Never After? Did you like it?

It is day 2 of being cold and sleety and gross 🥶 Today I actually have to get out which is a travesty. Days like this should require closing, fireplaces, and reading books by said fireplaces. Oh and cats! 🥰 •——————————————————————————• #bookstack #bookspines #bookworm #constantreader #bookphotography #booknerdigans #bibliophile #bookaddict #booklove #bookaholic #yabookstagram #bookshelf #yalit #yabooks #bookish #bookishpost #bookishcandles #booksandcandles https://www.instagram.com/p/CoF1PHyv-kx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

✨REVIEW✨ The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett . Today I tried put something different and wrote a mini review in spanish 💃🏻 . . Now for the English one: I loved, loved, looooved this book. It caught me in kind of a reading slump so it took me about a week and a half to finish it. I guess the beginning was a little slow but then the story diverges in different generations and perspectives so once it gained momentum, so did I. I feel like this is one of those books where you actually start missing the characters once you are finished and that is, of course, a sign that you have a good book in your hands. The story follows Desiree, Stella; two black women with light skin that part ways as one of them decides to live as a black woman and the other as a white one. You get to follow not only their stories and struggles but also the ones of their daughters, so the book allows you to see through the eyes of these very different characters and how they deal with race discrimination, prejudice and secrecy. Definitely I would recommend giving it a go, I even feel like it is important to do so. . have you read this book? What did you think? . . . #bookstagram #bookstagramespaña #review #bookreview #bookrecommendations #bookish #cozy #coffeandbooks #booksandcoffee #booksandcandles #thevanishinghalf #britbennett #lit #literature #bookworm #booktok #bookblog #bibliophile #bookishpost #potd #picoftheday #reviewoftheday #readmorebooks (at Madrid, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpuuk1Goc7h/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Vintage paperback copy of Mirror Mirror by Gregory Maguire, the same author of Wicked. This is a great story that is based on the Snow White fairy tale.

Qotd: what catches your eye in antique shops? Last thing you bough that was old but new to you? . Books! I bought an English anthology published in 1793. It my precious. . Sometimes treasure can be found where you least expect it. In the decade since high school graduation, Christine Sawyer has realized her dream of opening Treasure Hunting Antique Mall, the place where shoppers find gems that are new to them. Between her store, her house, and her role as a doting aunt, she’s happy with her life–if a bit lonely. But she’s used to being less lucky in love than her fraternal twin sister. Britney was always the popular one, the head cheerleader who dated the homecoming king and quarterback, while Christine stayed in the shadows. Brent Nicholson is still trying to come to grips with the shambles his life has become. After leading his football team to a state championship, he suffered a career-ending injury. Now he’s lost his construction business thanks to his so-called best friend. So when his great-aunt Midge asks for his help readying her home to put it on the market, the opportunity to spend time with his biggest fan is a balm to his bruised soul. But the antiques Brent finds in his aunt’s house lead him to an unexpected partnership with Christine. After being blind to her for so many years, is it too late for the former high school jock to win the heart of the self-proclaimed “nerdy twin”? As they shift through items of the past, Christine and Brent learn to let go of the pieces they don’t want to bring into the future–and realize the value of what’s in front of them today. “Hometown charm and swoon-worthy second chances make this a must read.” –Kristen Mckanagh, author of Snowball’s Christmas . #prelovedbooks #bookstafeatures #bookclubsofinstagram #instabookstagram #bookishgirl #bookreviewer #bookobsessed #ilovereading #booksofinstagram #booknerdigans #bookishaesthetic #booksarelove #bookpicture #cozyreads #bookbuying #booksandcandles #readingtime #readingoutside #booksandwince #booksandtravel #booksandcoffee #booksaremylife #bookslovers #booksy #booksandtea #bookstagrammer #morebooks #SomethingOldSomethingNew #sweetromance #Christianfiction (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnCoAU1rPM2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hi, y’all! I’m back from visiting Turkey for my honeymoon. Istanbul is a city of magic and I loved it with all my heart. It was my first trip this year. Did you visit anywhere this year or are you planning to?

★ What are your unpopular bookish opinions? I LOVE enemies to lovers—but I feel many books that get the label are better described as hate to love, or rivals to lovers, or mutual dislike to lovers. Also, hey—-look at this STUNNING apothecary candle from @fictionbathco 🙃 I wish there was a bit more nuance to labeling and marketing these types of relationships because they all do different things and sometimes I want a you-are-my-mortal-enemy-and-I-will-take-you-down-with-a-knife-to-the-throat-romance only to discover they just have a past school rivalry (which I ALSO LOVE) where one earned a coveted scholarship and the other didn’t. 😅 Anyway, my hill is that unless they would literally destroy the other person’s life (or take their life) then they’re probably not really enemies. When I see a contemporary romance labeled enemies to lovers I’m always a side-eying a bit 👀 (I’ll still read it though 🤭) Enemies to lovers in fantasy or dark romance though? Gimme. Mostly I just want a better idea for the level of disdain these characters hold for each other 🤣 Have their peoples been at war for three millennia? Are they vying for the same promotion at the office? Did they have to work on a group project in school together? That’s my unpopular opinion though, and I will gatekeep tf out of the label LOL. ⚔️ What are your favorite enemies to lovers with a knife to the throat romances? ★ HASHTAGS //   #fictionbathco #enemiestolovers #bookishcandles #bookish #bookaesthetic #booksandcandles #hatetolove #bibliophile #bookishthoughts #booksarelife #simplybookish #readerlife #readfantasy #booknerd #goodreads #bookstagram — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/PEys9bB

What are y’all up to? 🪴🌿✨🕯️✨🌿🪴🌿✨🕯️✨🌿🪴 So yesterday was my frost burn of Autumn Reads created by @blueforestblackmoon and when I tell you I should have gotten a bigger candle I mean it. The pumpkin streusel and whipped cream is a wonderful combination that makes you feel like your in a bakery in the autumn months. My preferred time of year 😉 🪴✨🌿🕯️🌿✨🪴✨🌿🕯️🌿✨🪴 #blueforestblackmoon #blueforestblackmoonaddict #blueforestblackmooncandle #blueforestblackmoonrep #candles #candlesofinstagram #candlesandcandles #handpouredcandles #smallbusiness #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstacoven #booksandcozymoments #booksandcandles #bookaddict #booklover #booknerd #bookphotography #thedarklibrarians https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVMDkEgXTY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“From their father, the Lynch brothers had gotten indefatigable egos, a decade of obscure Irish music instrument lessons, and the ability to box like they meant it. Niall Lynch had not been around very much, but when he had been, he had been an excellent teacher.” —Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys •——————————————————————————• I’ve been sick for over a week and don’t have much of a caption in me. Just that this wood wick candle from @lichen_and_limestone was included in the 10th anniversary Raven Boys box and I love it! I love all of the little details in the label design, the scent, the fact that it crackles in way I’m sure Ronan would be pleased with. There are still boxes left in @owlcrate’s shop if you missed out. •——————————————————————————• #bookstack #bookspines #beautifulbooks #booksbooksbooks #booksandcandles #bookishcandles #bookworm #constantreader #bookphotography #booknerdigans #bibliophile #yalit #yabooks #theravenboys #maggiestiefvater #yabookstagram #bookcommunity #readerlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CpdnVTVrh0L/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
