QOTD: How do you feel about spin offs?⁣ ⁣ I heard QOTD: How do you feel about spin offs?⁣ ⁣ I heard Divergent is getting a spin off (or books set in an alternate universe?) and I’m kind of interested to see where it goes.⁣ ⁣ The first book is one of my favorite dystopians, but I still haven’t read the rest of the series, despite owning all the books.⁣ ⁣ Maybe it’s finally time to read them and get them off my physical tbr. 🤔⁣ ⁣ Are you good with finishing series?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: The YA dystopian book series, Divergent by Veronica Roth.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #AllTheBooksApr26 [series you haven't read yet]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookblog #bookhoarder #yafiction #yaauthors

They’re printed into the book so it’s always a little treat to see them as I go through all the sections of the novel.⁣ ⁣ They’re all beautiful, but this character art near the epilogue of the book has to be my favorite.⁣ ⁣ I’m honestly tempted to see if I can buy it as a print, even though I’m terrible at displaying the prints I have.⁣ ⁣ Do you display your bookish artwork/swag or do you keep them in storage?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: Character artwork included in the Barnes & Noble hardcover edition of the fantasy novel, One For My Enemy by Olivie Blake.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #MyFictionalMusingsApr26 [character artwork]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookphoto #bookstagrammer #avidreader #ilovereading
QOTD: What’s your favorite series?⁣ ⁣ One of mine QOTD: What’s your favorite series?⁣ ⁣ One of mine is The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken.⁣ ⁣ It’s such a great YA dystopian series that has the perfect blend of an interesting plot and well written characters and found family.⁣ ⁣ And I owe it a lot.⁣ ⁣ It’s the book that got me back into reading in high school and also led me to discover book blogging, which eventually led me to bookstagram.⁣ ⁣ But because it means so much to me, I’m kind of terrified to reread it, even though I have in the past. 😅⁣ ⁣ Do you reread your favorite books?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: The young adult dystopian series, The Darkest Minds, written by Alexandra Bracken.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #AllTheBooksApr26 [favorite book series]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookblogger #booktography #bookrecommendation #yabookstagram
QOTD: Do you read your special editions?⁣ ⁣ I usua QOTD: Do you read your special editions?⁣ ⁣ I usually try not to read mine because I’m a bit of a walking disaster. 😅⁣ ⁣ And it’s just not exactly the best reading experience to be so anxious about potentially accidently ruining a book.⁣ ⁣ The edges are so pretty that I’m scared I’ll damage them with my sweaty hands.⁣ ⁣ Do you have a favorite special edition?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Video description: Treating my deluxe first edition hardcover of the romantasy novel, Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry like it’s a museum artifact.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookgram #readerproblems #bookishlife #instabooks #romantasy

And the only way to really ease that feeling is to make a plan.⁣ ⁣ There’s just too many options (and deadlines) and I’m feeling the pressure (that only really exists in my head).⁣ 😅 ⁣ I’ve been neglecting my physical TBR, and I have NetGalley books to read and review, and a bunch of Libby holds came in and others expected to be available soon and...⁣ ⁣ And to make things worse, my mood is not cooperating and is refusing to plainly describe what I’m in the mood for.⁣ ⁣ I guess it’s time to play the guessing game aka see which book I find interesting enough to read past chapter 5.⁣ ⁣ How do you decide what to read?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #booklove #bookishgirl #reader #bookdragons #readerproblems
QOTD: What are some of your favorite tropes?⁣ ⁣ I QOTD: What are some of your favorite tropes?⁣ ⁣ I love second chance romance and enemies (or rivals) to lovers and The Blonde Who Came in From the Cold has both.⁣ ⁣ It’s a fun read, especially if you’re looking for spy themed romcom with high(er) stakes.⁣ ⁣ But I enjoyed the first book, The Blonde Identity, more.⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: The spy romance novel, The Blonde Who Came in From the Cold by Ally Carter with a sweater and a cup of coffee.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #AllTheBooksApr26 [pretty covers]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookdragon #booksofinstagram #beautifulbooks #reading
