Q: What fictional world would you love to visit? I have a new product coming to my Etsy store which is NOT A BOOKMARK (though you could use it as a bookmark!) They're postcards for fictional locations! Well, postcard for now. We'll see how these go. This first one is for Terrasen! It started as a bit of a side project I did for fun. I wanted to try watercolour-ish painting in procreate so so set out to do this and... it turned out so much better than I was expecting! I'm quite shocked and impressed with myself 😂 It's TERRIFYING putting it not only out in the world, but also putting it up for sale so I hope you guys like it as much as I do! 🦌 PRODUCT DETAILS 🦌 These postcards are roughly 4x6 inches in size, printed on 300gsm card, and are matte laminated. They'll be on sale from the 21st of April (around 6PM AEST) for $4.50 AUD. More details about the upcoming releases can be found on @booktineusdesigns! //CHALLENGES// #booksarepugaliciousapr21 - Ketterdam: setting that comes alive #RFABApril21 - Bookmark and Book //HASHTAGS// #terrasen #fantasy #fictionalworlds #bookishmap #bookstack #erilea #throneofglass #travel #postcard #travelmemories #booksta #bookstagrammer #auskiwibooksta #ausyabloggers #bookishfanart #fanart #bookmerch https://www.instagram.com/p/CNzLJBXL45V/?igshid=1ippdc2q8xoub

Q: Paranormal this or that! Vampires 🧛‍♀️ or Werewolves 🐺 Necromancers 🧟‍♀️ or Mediums 🔮 Half Demons 😈or Poltergeists 👻 Witches 🧙‍♀️ or Sorcerers 🧙‍♂️ My anwers is all of the above 😂 These paranormal creatures are all main characters in at least one of Kelley Armstrong's Otherworld books! It's such a big and wonderful urban fantasy world. Urban fantasy/ paranormal is actually a genre I used to LOVE, but haven't read much of over the past few years. I'm finally getting back into them and LOVING it! I'm currently reading the Night Huntress books, and have plans to reread Kelley Armstrong's Otherworld novels soon. #reppost In case you can't tell by how often I've features this booksleeve recently, I LOVE this wolf fabric @craft_of_stars used in her FBAA collection! Hopefully one day I'll actually get to use it with FBAA 😂 You can use my influencer code, BOOK10, to save on your Craft of Stars orders! 🔖AND AS A COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC SIDE NOTE 🔖 I just added new bookmarks to my store!

Q: Recommendation time! Recommend me some of your favourite diverse fantasy reads! If you can't think of a fantasy, recommend me another diverse book from any genre 😊 Sherry Thomas's YA fantasy novels are my recs! I loved Magnolia Sword, which is a retelling of the Ballad of Mulan. Soon I'm hoping to finish the Elementals trilogy which is a historical fantasy (I loved The Burning Sky when I read it years ago!). //CHALLENGES// #aprilintropes21 - Fairytale retelling #Booknerdsandfriends - Flowers After Showers - Fave Ending #booksarepugaliciousapr21 - Crooked Kingdom: made you cry #RFABApril21 - Made You Cry //HASHTAGS// #diversebooks #tehmagnoliasword #balladofmulan #retellings #theelementalstrilogy #TheBurningSky #sherrythomas https://www.instagram.com/p/CN4XjhtrD9G/?igshid=syn12ya1q3oq

Q: Who are some of your favourite bookworm characters? Celaena Sardothien and Tessa Gray are the first two that pop into my mind! I bet they're going to be popular answers 😂 #reppost I bet those two characters would love to use a booksleve to protect their precious books! I'm so glad Jess #gifted me this terrasen padded booksleeves (WHICH HAS A FLAP TO CLOSE!) for such a purpose... now I just need to actually use it on my books and not just photos 😂 You can get your own booksleeves from @craft_of_stars!

Q: What strategies do you use to help stick to your buying ban? I'm trying something new this year. My main reading goal is to get through more physical books from the TBR pile of books I already own so I came out with a reward system that also restricts the number of new books I buy. I have a blog post and tik tok video that goes into more detail about how this is supposed to work, but essentially when I finish a book I get a certain amount of money added to a book buying fund. When I buy a new book, I have to subtract the cost from that fund. I went into the negatives quickly thanks to ebook preorders I forgot about, and more recently I broke it for a book that is REALLY hard to find and there was only one left in stock. //CHALLENGES// #LMSApril2021 - Swoon Worthy #RFABApril21 - 5 Star Read #booksarepugaliciousapr21 - Firebird: plot twist //HASHTAGS// #bookwormproblems #buyingban #bookbuyingban #journalling #booktracker #thedarkestpowers #kelleyarmstrong #werewolves #supernatural #paranoamal #yabooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CNoBwCmLVq1/?igshid=1nyo0uunu2u1v
