Are you a mood reader or do you plan your reads? ⁣
⁣
Hi everyone! Aren't these book covers just gorgeous?! I couldn't resist sharing this #bookhaul from a charity shop recently. I was so excited when charity shops reopened here because I am a bargain hunter when it comes to books and this haul was pretty spectacular ✨⁣
⁣
I'm very much a mood reader but recently I've been trying to plan a TBR in advance by predicting my moods!? So far, it's working out. Let's see how long that lasts. ⁣
⁣
Today's #wyrdandwonder prompt is currently reading, and I've got a few books on the go at the moment! I'm curled up in bed reading #excusemewhileiuglycry by @joya.goffney. It's a contemporary YA romance that I picked up on the @libby.app because I loved the cover and the reviews for it are great! So far I'm really enjoying it.⁣
⁣
I'm so thankful to have you here talking books with me. The #bookstagram community is amazing! I'll be sharing a wrap up on my IG Stories tomorrow so until then, I hope your reads are magical and comforting and if you've got any book recommendations I'd love to hear them! ⁣

What's the last book you added to your to-read list? ⁣

Hi everyone! I'm so excited to be back on #bookstagram and it was lovely to talk to so many of you yesterday so thank you for liking my post and talking books with me! I love the passion for books here, it feels like a big virtual library - and gosh, do I miss libraries ✨⁣
⁣
The last books I added to my TBR were these books I picked up as a #charityshopfind and which honestly might be my best #bookhaul of the year so far. Have you read any of them? Let me know what you thought of them! ⁣
⁣
I've just finished my second book for #wyrdandwonder, an audiobook of The Invisible Life of Addie La Rue (#addielarue) which I think may be the best thing V.E.Schwab has ever written. The (spoiler-free!) #bookreview is up on my @goodreads channel, link in bio.⁣⁣⁣
⁣
Tomorrow I'll be sharing the covers of these gorgeous books because they are simply stun-ning. Until then, I hope your reads are magical and tea never spills on your books!⁣

What's the last book that you bought? ⁣⁣

Hi everyone! It's been a while, hasn't it? I've been away from #bookstagram for a little while but I'm back with lots of lovely bookish posts planned as well as some exciting life updates, giveaways and more so stay tuned 👀 ⁣⁣ I am a sucker for second-hand books. There's something so charming about coming across an unexpected find in a charity shop and Gods of Jade and Shadow was one of my first #charityshopfinds when charity shops (finally!) re-opened here. I've missed browsing so much and this one has been on my TBR since last year!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
May is also the month of #wyrdandwonder, a month of fantasy blogging events hosted by the lovely @imyril, @deargeekplace and #jorielovesastory, and my to-read list for May includes some stun-ning looking books. ⁣
⁣
My first read of May was the YA debut everyone's been talking about: The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna. When you've heard so many great things and it becomes available on the @libby.app … I couldn't exactly say no, could I? It was one badass book. The (spoiler-free!) #bookreview is up on my @goodreads channel, link in my bio.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Phew. That's it for now. I'll be back with more updates soon. In the meantime, let me know what you're currently reading! ⁣
