My review for SOME KIND OF HAPPINESS by the incredible @clairelegrand is up on my blog, so be sure to check it out! 🌿

Quick question for you lovelies: do you prefer dark and moody or light and bright? I'm always so caught between these two looks, but I find most things look better when the setting is a bit more moody? I don't know, that's just my opinion though. 🌚

I haven't felt this emotional from a book since TIGER LILY. As someone who struggles with anxiety, along with occasionally some very deep, dark lows, this book filled me with so much emotion. I could relate to the main character Finley so much. I could feel her pain and guilt. The sorrow. This novel is haunting and moving, and by far the best middle-grade book I've ever read. Please pick this book up and give it a read. 💚

Happy release day to THE CROWNS OF CROSWALD by @author.denight! If you love HARRY POTTER and CINDERELLA, you are sure to enjoy this book! 💜

What are you lovelies currently reading?

The Glass Arrow is one of my favorite dystopians I've read. Full of action and a rich setting and WOLVES, this is a great, swift read. 🏹

For the girls with messy hair and thirsty hearts. ❤️

Okay but this cover is STUNNING. 🌟

How many of you have read the Night Circus? Thoughts? I know some of my friends out there love this one. 🌝

If any of you are in need of an uplifting, empowering book, you MUST read Unfiltered. Collins discusses everything from self-love to relationship problems, to her struggles with her eating disorder. It gives so much perspective on life, that we're not alone. 🙌🏻

After falling in love with The Raven Boys and The Dream Theives, I can't wait to read Blue Lily, Lily Blue. It's going to bring all 👏🏻 those 👏🏻 feels 👏🏻

❝The moon is a loyal companion.
It never leaves. It‘s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it‘s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.❞
— Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me 🌖

I've finally began The Crowns of Croswald today and already about 50 pages through. So far, it's very reminiscent of Harry Potter and your classic middle grade fantasy--very mystical and intriguing. 🌛

Fun fact: I actually haven't read The Girl on the Train yet but I liked this quote so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Happy 4th of July, my lovelies! I unfortunately don't have a themed post for this because alas, I forgot about the 4th. So here's a snap of Quenns of Geek in all it's magical glory. It will totally make you feel fireworks, too. 😏🎆

Only two more weeks until Game of Thrones returns! Who's excited?! I AM! 👸🏻⚔️

I finished THE FALLEN KINGDOM by @_elizabethmay last night and I just loved this book. I really enjoyed the entire series, but this last book has to be my favorite out of all of them. the growth within each of the characters and their relationships was so well done. not to mention, the mythology and scottish setting was incredibly well done. SO 👏🏻 GOOD 👏🏻

here's another book with a gorgeous cover that I have yet to read. #thestruggleisreal 🌚

I'm so glad I was finally pick up GLASS SWORD, the sequel to RED QUEEN. and a bonus: this copy is autographed! hoping to read this one soon. 👸🏻

I'm OBSESSED with the covers of THE FALCONER trilogy. it gives me all of those historical scottish vibes and I'm here for it. ⚔️🌿

I just finished IN THE AFTER and though, like THE 5TH WAVE, it had a promising start, the last half of the book dropped off for me. I still really enjoyed this post-apocalyptic novel, but not as much as I would have liked to. ☠️

still so obsessed with this book box and all of its contents. once I finish reading one of my two reads, I'm going to starts THE CROWNS OF CROSWALD asap. 💜✨

for all of my lgbtq+ friends. 🌈💞

i've still yet to read TO ALL THE BOYS I LOVED BEFORE, but i'm quite sure this is a series i'll adore. 🍥💕

books and tea all day, every day. 🙌🏻📚☕️

THE CROWNS OF CROSWALD is a blend between CINDERELLA, HARRY POTTER, and PERCY JACKSON. this middle grade fantasy is sparkling with magic and wonder. i simply cannot wait to dive into this one. keep your eyes out for the public release of THE CROWNS OF CROSWALD, coming out july 21, 2017. 💜💫
