I enjoyed the three books I read all about the same. 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣ ⁣ Reading wise, June wasn’t the best for me. I spent most of the month in a huge reading slump and as a mood reader that means no reading for me. 🙈⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ 📋 audit time⁣ ⁣ My reading was pretty diverse this month - all the books I read had at least one main character from a marginalized community, two of which are #ownvoices books. Hopefully, my reading will be as diverse in the coming months.⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ......⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #cozyascanbee [june #wrapup]⁣ ⁣ #bookreadhappyhour [it's the final countdown wrapup]⁣ ⁣ #rfabjune20 [june wrap up]⁣ ⁣ #starsinthedark [the end is upon us wrapup]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookloversofinstagram #bookishcommunity #bookstagrammers #bookrecommendations #bookishlove #bookishlife #unitedbookstagram #bookgram #bookobsessed #bookstagrammer #reader #readersgonnaread #bookishaesthetic #readingcommunity #pagingserenityaudit⁣ ⁣
QOTD: What kind of books would you like to see mor QOTD: What kind of books would you like to see more of?⁣ ⁣ I really wish there were more heist books out there. My favorite movies and tv shows all involve heists of some kind. There’s just something about heists that I find so intriguing. But to be fair, I get why there aren’t more (fictional) books about them - they definitely would be a pain in the ass for authors to plot out.⁣ ⁣ But seriously, if you know of any good heist novels, let me know in the comments! HEIST SOCIETY by Ally Carter is one of my all time favorites.⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ 📷 about this edit:⁣ ⁣ This post actually took less photoshop than I thought it would. Granted, I spent a solid 30 minutes trying to line up the book correctly, but it was worth it. The less things I have to fix in post, the better. Photoshop is responsible for my bangs (not a good look for me IRL) and the color of my (fake) halter top (it’s originally a white cami; halter tops are also not a good look for me IRL). Let’s just say Kat and I have very different fashion styles. 😆⁣ ⁣ For (what should be) obvious reasons, the background is also photoshopped. Because A) who wants to be visiting a museum during what-shall-not-be-named, B) I don’t have the guts (or the time, let’s be real) to take a pic like this in public, and C) if I actually took this in a museum there would 100% be some random stranger photobombing me. ⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ......⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #tumblesoverbooks [heists]⁣ ⁣ #creativebookstagram [cover love]⁣ ⁣ #bookreadhappyhour [fuhgeddaboudit!]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #heistsociety #allycarter #bookishlove #bookgram #alwaysreading #readingisfundamental #reader #bookloversofinstagram #bookwormsunite #readingtime #bookstack #bookclub #booklove #bookrecommendations #booksofinstagram #bookstagrammers #allthebooks

I’m just not in the right mood (or mind, tbh) to read it right now.⁣ 🙈 ⁣ But I think I’ve had this one for, I think, three years now so I really want to get to it soon. Especially since everyone I know who has read it, loves it.⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ Speaking of backlist titles, I thought that between my library being closed and having to reduce my book buying budget, I’d make a lot of progress on all the unread books in my personal library. I was wrong. Out of the 26 books I’ve read since quarantine started, only four have come from my shelves. 🤦🏻‍♀️ The rest were a mix of ARCs and e-library books.⁣ ⁣ I’ve been trying to think of an incentive to convince myself to read more of my own books but I’m blanking on a good one.

QOTD: What's your favorite ice cream?⁣ ⁣ In te QOTD: What's your favorite ice cream?⁣ ⁣ In terms of classic flavors, I love vanilla, coffee, and cookies and cream. But if I’m being honest, I pretty much like any flavor that has a good mix of textures and is sweet and salty.⁣ ⁣ If we’re talking about what I’d order from an ice cream truck, I’d probably get an ice cream sandwich. Except I’d probably never get one unless it’s free. 😆 On a usual day, it just doesn’t make sense to buy from an overpriced truck when I can get a box for the same price of one sandwich. 💁🏻‍♀️⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ On a side note, can someone please convince me to read this book in July? I’ve been saying it’s on my summer TBR for the last, like, four years and I STILL haven’t gotten to it yet. 😅⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ......⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #fearyournovel [book outside]⁣ ⁣ #allthebooksjune20 [book & ice cream]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #theunexpectedeverything #morganmatson #bookclub #rivetedlit #bookishaesthetic #booksaremagic #booklovers #bookblogger #bookishcommunity #readingtogether #bookstagrammers #instabooks #bookloversofinstagram #readersofinsta #bookishlife #bookstagrammademedoit #yacontemporary

I don't actually want to go to sleep and wake up so late, but I just can't seem to get my anxious brain to slow the f down at the right time.
