Let’s all enjoy a little sunshine while we can! If you’ve never read anything by Elizabeth A. Lynn, you should definitely give her a shot! Her work was groundbreaking for lgbt representation in fantasy in the 1970s and her writing is absolutely gorgeous! 💛 • • • Do you have recommendations for older (pre-2000) lgbtq+ themed books? I should start putting together a list! 📝 • • • #doctrineoflabyrinths #thetraitorbarucormorant #amberlough #icapturethecastle #thealchemywars #thesecretgarden #elizabethalynn #book #books #bookstagram #bookish #bibliophile #booklover #booknerd #bookphotography #instabook #igreads #bookstack #bookspines #ya #yafantasy #fantasy #scifi #queerbooks #lgbtbooks #photography #photooftheday #flatlay #aesthetic https://www.instagram.com/p/BpPkRMcnYID/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5t9mc31276kl

Today's August 26th task for #jcfaugust is to share something #throughthewindow. The first two photos were taken just 35 minutes apart, at 4:24p and 4:59p respectively, and show the power of a cloud. ☁️😊 . . . . The first photo shows a squirrel and quail (Gambel's Quail) at our quail block. The second photo has a rabbit with the quail at our quail block. 😍❤😍 . . . . The third photo shares the books I'm reading today with my Max and a view out the window. Unfortunately, this photo couldn't be zoomed in to hide all of the many spots on our window. Oopsie. 😲😊��� . . . . I've already completed today's allotment of The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson for @meltotheany's buddy read, and I'm now reading Blood and Sand by C.V. Wyk. Blood and Sand is the last book I need to complete my second tier N.E.W.T.s. Both of the books are in Photos Three and Five. 😍❤ . . . . Only Photos Three and Four have my Max in them. All of the book photos are meant to show Blood and Sand's cover. I think this is a foiled book. Is it? 🤔🤔🤔 If it's not, I'm still counting it for second-tier Defense Against the Dark Arts: #readafoiledbook. After all, *I* Think it's a #foiledbook! 😄😉❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #meltotheany #bookstagram #SethDickinson #CVWyk #books #TheTraitorBaruCormorant #BloodandSand #series #TheMasquerade

Baru Cormorant, for the prompt 'poison.' (I can't actually remember her physical description, so uh, hope I did ok.) #inktober #inktober2017 #barucormorant #thetraitorbarucormorant #poison http://ift.tt/2ynyrdw

This book... omg! If you want complicated political maneuvering and examinations of power structures, you want to read this asap. It's so good, and just reading it made me feel smarter. I'm really looking forward to the sequel coming out next month! 🎭 • • • What are some tropes that will make you instantly want to read a book? I'm a sucker for sad things, so I love the crapsack world trope and of course a damaged hero. 💖 • • • #thetraitorbarucormorant #themasquerade #barucormorant #sethdickinson #fantasy #book #books #bookstagram #bookish #bibliophile #booklover #booknerd #bookphotography #instabook #igreads #mybookfeatures #queerbooks #lgbtbooks #photography #photooftheday #flatlay #aesthetic https://www.instagram.com/p/BoJ9noZntu5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d7hv17v1qua1

Today's August 23rd task for #jcfaugust is to share a #treasurechest. I can't remember if I've shared this box or not, so here it is, again (possibly)! 😊😍❤ . . . . What's in this "treasure chest"? Turn to Photo Two! 😍❤ . . . . SHELLS! Lots and lots of shells from @_theopaque_! THANK YOU! 😍❤😍 . . . . I think I bought and received this box in July. If this is the first time I'm sharing it, I'm sorry! I really love all of these shells, especially the conch shell I uncovered! Photo Three shares this conch shell with my Max, and Photo Four shares it with the print book I am reading. 😊😍❤ . . . . I am also still reading The Darkest Promise by Gena Showalter. (This e-book is also in Photo Four. 😍) I didn't ever go back to it yesterday after my just-before-4:00p photo. 😣 Instead, I watched football with my Mom and read yesterday's allotment of The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson! 😄❤ . . . . Today I'm posting at about 1:45p, and I'm really hoping to read today's allotment of The Traitor Baru Cormorant AND finish The Darkest Promise! I have just under 40 pages left to read in The Traitor Baru Cormorant for today and 35% left of The Darkest Promise. 😊❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #bookstagram #SethDickinson #books #TheTraitorBaruCormorant #ebook #TheDarkestPromise #series #LordsoftheUnderworld #CurrentRead #CurrentlyReading #meltotheany #buddyread #BoutofBooks

Today's August 21st task for #jcfaugust is to #BurnBright. So I lit my Unicorn candle from @fragrant_jewels and photographed it - burning brightly! 😄😍 - with the two books I read today. Fables Vol.10: The Good Prince (228 pages) by Bill Willingham and Mark Buckingham will be finished today, and I read the first three chapters (57 pages) in The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson earlier this afternoon. 😊😍❤ . . . . Max is also in the first photo, but since he had to be cropped out to get the books in the photo, I took a second photo just of him. 😊😍❤😍 . . . . And I'm buddy reading The Traitor Baru Cormorant in a read-along with @meltotheany! I'm so excited to finally be reading a book with her, and this one is off to an intriguing start! 😄😍🎉❤ . . . . Lastly, turn to Photo Three to see the candle when first lit. I got lucky with the first pic; had to turn my phone away from it, then move it back and snap the camera *quick!* to get the first photo. I'm lucky it turned out in focus. 😊😍❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #meltotheany #bookstagram #BillWillingham #MarkBuckingham #SethDickinson #books #FablesVolume10 #TheGoodPrince #TheTraitorBaruCormorant #series #Fables #FablesSeries

The Monster Baru Cormorant comes out next week! I am really not prepared. I loved the politics and plot so much but I almost forgot about the truly tongue-twisting names. Ihuake? Unuxekome!? Seriously?! Maybe Monster will include a pronunciation guide! 😂 • • • What fantasy or sci-fic world do you think has the wildest names? 🧙🏼‍♀️🧝🏻‍♂️ • • • #thetraitorbarucormorant #sethdickinson #book #books #bookstagram #bookish #bibliophile #booklover #booknerd #bookphotography #instabook #igreads #mybookfeatures #fantasy #queerbooks #lgbtbooks #photography #photooftheday #flatlay #aesthetic https://www.instagram.com/p/BpXSJvXniHx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kvdyjohby35k
