I went to Hooker Valley today. The weather was bad so it looked like a Misty Mountains in Middle-earth.😊 #landscape #newzealand #hookervalley #middleearthadventures2019 #mountain #travel #mountcooklily https://www.instagram.com/p/B5XFIZXnxnW/?igshid=d2zjlods58y6

Would you rather pee in your pants a little every time you laughed OR sob every time you pee? * • * I realized I never photographed this super cute pineapple sleeve from @loveyoumorestudio ! I thought I had better do that before it’s not Summer anymore! 😱It’s seriously the cutest sleeve ever!! Use my code: STORIED10 to save! They have a lot of Burton sleeves right now! * * Mini review time! Full review on my blog, link in linktree! Soul of the Sword (Shadow of the Fox, 2) by Julie Kagawa is out now from @inkyardpress ! * * I LOVED Shadow of the Fox. Book 2 fell flat for me. It was really slow until maybe the last 100 pages? And I was irritated with some of Yumeko’s decisions. And some of the other characters decisions. Here’s what I loved: I LOVED Hakaimono’s POV! He was so snarky and brought some comedic relief, without trying to. I love Tatsumi’s tortured soul! I hope he gets to have happiness. I LOVED the ending! That cliff hanger killed me! I’m dying to find out what happens next! * * #middleearthadventures2019 Gollum/ Sméagol: Mixed Motivations - The mysterious master that Suki is following! * #loveyoumorestudio #soulofthesword #booksleeve #pineapples #shadowofthefox #yafantasy #asianfantasy #bookshivers #reader #bookaholic #constantreader #bookblogger #bookblog #booksofinstagram #bookishlife #booklion #instabooks #bookalicious #bookreview #bookreviewer https://www.instagram.com/p/B2kSb6jAQhi/?igshid=1o14dnhabmzbt

Predictive text first sentence! “You already know the story of ____, and the birth of ____.” * • * Thank you so much to @netgalley and Random House for Young Readers (@penguinrandomhouse ) for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review and for having me in the tour! Check out my blog for my full review! Link in bio! * * American Royals is by @katharinemcgee and it’s out now! Synopsis in comments! * * Contemporary isn’t usually my go-to genre but I requested this book because it’s an alternate history too! So cool! And I LOVED it. Favorite contemporary I’ve ever read. In fact, I liked it better than most YA Fantasy books I read this year. 😱 It read like a hallmark Christmas movie but with added drama. I really can’t say enough good things! Character growth was really solid, the “baddie” of the story was complex, the plot had me up late thinking about it, and the ending hurt!!! I NEED the second book now!!! * * #bookreadhappyhour Author I discovered because of Bookstagram * #readgushsep19 Kisses * #middleearthadventures2019 Fictional world you’d like to live in- I’d be fine with a monarchy 🤷🏽‍♀️ * #midsummerlibrarysept19 Fierce Female Friday * #randomhouseforyoungreaders #penguinrandomhouse #americanroyals #katharinemcgee #contemporary #alternatehistory #bookreview #bookreviewer #bookshivers #reader #bookaholic #constantreader #bookblogger #bookblog #booksofinstagram #bookishlife #booklion #instabooks #bookalicious https://www.instagram.com/p/B2XTmMmg2WE/?igshid=cp59xptnqdim

First sentence predictive text! “She wondered what it would be like to be ____.” * • * I know this sign says “Currently Reading” and I’m not CR this book but it just went so well with the photo!! Use my code: Lauren10 to save at @bookish_signs !! Swipe to see full color! * * Mini review with full review on my blog! This is going to be really mini since it’s the last book in the series so I can’t say much without it being spoilers! * Malta ended being my favorite character and I hated her in the beginning. Althea ended up being my least favorite. She was such a brat and extremely selfish. Let me say this about the plot: dragons, talking magical ships with mysterious histories, pirates, morally grey characters, political intrigue, high seas adventure, sea serpents, romance, sword fights, death and destruction. EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ ROBIN HOBB!!! 5 FREAKING STARS 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 * * #middleearthadventures2019 Mount Doom: Epic Climaxes * #bookqueenssept19 Chamber of Secrets: Doing someone else’s bidding - Paragon! 😭 * #liveshiptraders #shipofdestiny #currentlyreading #bookishsignsandmore #bookishsigns #bookishmerch #pirates #robinhobb #epicfantasy #fantasy #bookphotographer #readersofinstagram #booktoday #booksbooksbooks #literature #getlit #booklove #bookgram #bookaesthetic https://www.instagram.com/p/B2UcOUDATb4/?igshid=1k4yi9nrjky83
