The next bookmark in my Year in Books project is inspired by Summer of '77 by Rebecca Amiss! This middle grade book was such a great nostalgic trip, exploring huge changes in childhood, from death in the family to a big move. I really enjoy Rebecca Amiss's writing and have more of her books on my tbr! Here is a little bit about the book, as well as the design of the scented bookmark itself! Keep an eye out for the blog, on my website, and the bookmark, coming soon to my Etsy Shop! Check out the book itself and follow the author across social media! #novelsofinstagram #booksofinstagram #readingofinstagram #bookstagram #bookworm #bookfairy #scentedbookmarks #scented #aromatherapy #readingaromatherapy #bookmarkshop #bookmarks #handmadebookmarks #fanart #indiebooks #handmadewithlove #booklovers #playingwithfabric #newyearnewproject #ayearinbooks #rebeccaamiss #Summerof77 #middlegradebooks #comingofage #bookrecommendations #bookreview #comingofagenovel https://www.instagram.com/p/CpqfhRBS-is/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“I had disappointed everybody. How could I have been so irresponsible? Oh, how easy it is to say that to myself now, after the event has taken place.” October 1999. Fifteen-year-old Amber-Rose – fake ID wielding, fun loving party girl is enjoying life too much to have any worries. However, a chance meeting in the school canteen sets into motion a series of events that will change Amber’s future. Meet studious Dave, director of the school play and the guy who all the girls fancy. Becky, best friend, and partner in crime. Mandy, who is harbouring her own well-kept secret. Peter, Mandy’s brother, who clearly has an eye for the ladies and Ben, who is looking for love. Follow Amber’s journey from adolescence to womanhood, as she navigates life and love (alongside lots of tears and laughter) in the noughties (link in bio) #newauthor #romance #comingofagenovel #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CIJRIdtgaO_/?igshid=9mlt6dgwo673

✨Book Review | Under the Udala Trees✨ Hey bookworms! I hope you’re doing well and taking care of yourself, especially my American friends, I know today is going to be rough ❤️ I’m always here if anyone needs a listening ear and want to also say: if you haven’t voted yet please do so, your voice is important and deserves to be heard! • One of my last books of October was Under the Udala Trees by Chinelo Okparanta. It’s a story of Ijeoma coming of age and discovering her identity amidst the Nigerian Civil War and its aftermath. It’s a beautifully woven story of love, loss, desire, grief, and identity. I was pulled in immediately and loved watching Ijeoma grow up and develop throughout the novel. It’s character driven and was surprisingly fast paced compared to other character driven stories I’ve read recently. As I mentioned, it’s set against the Nigerian Civil War in 1968, but it wasn’t as big of a plot point as I expected (based on the blurb) so it’s something I want to learn more about. Even though it’s set in the late 1960s through the 1980s(?), the stories of Homophobia and the struggles of the LGBTQIA community are still seen today in many countries. Due to a lot of the graphic content and violence, it’s a hard read but it’s important. I’ll be recommending this to everyone and rated it a full 5 ⭐️s! Triggers: War, violence, grief, homophobia, xenophobia, sexual assault (mentions of), emotional/mental abuse, misogyny, miscarriage • • Not really a QOTD but tell me how you’re doing this week! • • • #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookish #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #bookphotography #bookaesthetic #bookflatlay #bookrecommendation #bookreview #booklover #bookworm #bibliophile #lgbtqbook #undertheudalatrees #historicalfiction #comingofagenovel https://www.instagram.com/p/CHIXJDAATzt/?igshid=yck5rrn6czg4

Recently read this and thought it was kind of like A Tree Grows In Brooklyn except the parents are African-American and West Indian. Really good. #brooklynnovel #brooklyn #browngirlbrownstones #comingofagenovel @quimbysbookstorenyc #brooklynbookstore #williamsburgbrooklyn (at Quimby's Bookstore NYC)

i’ll give you the sun : book review

this book. i don’t where to start. just amazing. so so fabulous it takes my breath away whenever i think of it.

the plot is so well thought out, so planned and precise in every small detail.

it’s about two twins, jude and noah (girl and boy) and their lives. both anticipated artists, their stubbornness and hormones control their actions and drive the plot into dips and dives and heartbreak and tears and every emotion possible. it made me feel things i didn’t even know u could feel. ouch.

from chapter to chapter, it switches from jude’s to noah’s, back to jude’s, then noah’s account at a different time in their lives. the author jandy nelson includes a quirkiness to each character. it’s so amazing and thoughtful and new ?? no book i’ve ever read has the qualities that this one does.

it’ll make u laugh and giggle and cry and RIP UR HEART OUT. yep. the romance in this book is so fulfilling. it teases u so u know there’s love brewing. then snatch it straight back out of ur reach before u can grab it. but then it dangles again... and again.

for me, this book is the one that after you’ve finished, u don’t know what to do with urself. u have to have a few days before u start another book. u need to recover. i did.

so in conclusion, this is the ultimate book if what u want to experience is romance with hints of comedy and loss. just... please read this. u need to.

[wmnhealingsoul]

Black Girl in Paris brings you into the life of Eden. The story introduces her with a backstory. We learn of experiences that have shaped her and connects her to the iconic figures. Hughes, Baldwin, Baker. In their legacy, she places pieces of herself. A woman who performs. A woman who writes. Baker and Hughes have long past, but she sought out to meet Baldwin. She knew he had a secret for her.

But, the things she desired were reflected in the people she met. They each brought out a side of her that she had known but was not acquainted with. As a young woman building and creating depth she found herself learning the secrets of the aupair, the poet, the musician, the sex worker, and the socialite. You come away from the novel new. There is an ache for adventure and an ache for magic. You are drawn in by her sense of discovery and her capacity to make lasting friendships with the people whom she turns to. And, it seems to me at the end of the book, intuitively, she found the answers she craved. “I wrote to understand where I had been, where I was going, to make sense of the world that had led me to the small room on the edge of the abyss.”
