★ Do you use a bookmark when you’re reading a physical book? A random piece of paper or the receipt? Do you dog ear? When I was a kid, I’d definitely dog ear. As a teen, I was a receipt or random piece of paper person. Now I always have a bookmark handy if I am reading a physical book. I like to pick out a bookmark that compliments the book in some way. It’s hard to use bookmarks so beautiful as these though! Illumicrate included these The Gilded Wolves inspired bookmarks with character art by @gabriella.bujdoso and I am IN LOVE 😍 This is, by far, a favorite fantasy series of mine, and I adore these characters so much. They deserve hugs and hot cocoa and a full night’s sleep. 🤣 I want to frame a lot of the character art bookmarks I have like this. The artwork is always so beautiful and I have a TON of them. I think they’d look great that way and I have a ton of open wall space above my dresser that I’ve been trying to find a purpose for. 🤔 Remember, you can use code LIBRARY5 to save on 3&6 month @illumicrate subscriptions! ★ HASHTAGS //     #bookstagram #fantasybooks #livethelittlethings #bibliophile #booklover #morningslikethese #literature #cozyaesthetic #allthingsbookish #readersofinsta #bookcommunity #livelifebeautifully #aquietmoment #momentofmine #stillography #flashesofdelight #ilovebooks #bookphotography #booksbooksbooks #bookphoto #ofquietmoments #bookart #characterart #fanart #booksbooksbooks #illumicrate #illumicrateapr2022 #gabriellabujdoso #thegildedwolves #roshanichokshi https://www.instagram.com/p/CeEV6DgrhFR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sometimes a sunset is all you need. A quiet moment as the light disappears. All the tension drops away… // A place can be so many things. Color, sound, texture, smell. The sea air… // Life is so wonderfully synchronized. I feel so incredibly lucky. We are so happy. Smiling for fall. #thenappynow #creativedirector #creativedirection #creativedirections #travel #coastal #coast #aquietmoment #palmtrees #locationphotography #location #peaceful #happy #mood #sunset #beach #beachlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CToFV_wDO3O/?utm_medium=tumblr

A moment of stillness. A quiet moment to regroup and manifest my dreams into reality. Never underestimate the power of self belief. Even though all my niggling self doubt demons made me question my capabilities, somewhere inside all that was a small lit fire of self worth and self belief. It just took a little encouragement to overcome that voice telling me I couldn't do it. Thank you to anyone who offered me advice, comfort and reassurance in the lead up to the competition, you know who you are 😉You guys have no idea just how much your words mean to me. I am honestly beyond grateful. #MsGreatBritainFinalist2021🇬🇧 #MsGreatBritain2021 #KatHenry #calm #stillness #manifestation #aquietmoment #DreamBelieveAchieve #yesican #athenaleicester (at Athena Leicester) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWHb7bpq4it/?utm_medium=tumblr

★ What are you #currentlyreading? What would you rate it right now? I’m currently reading A Fate of Wrath and Flame by @katucker_! I’m at 31% in the audiobook and so far it’s a solid 4-5 star read. I’d like to share photos of my current reads more often because I’ve been reading so many incredible books this year! I really love when authors write outside their typical genre, especially when romance authors dive into fantasy. This one is a bit portal fantasy, a bit enemies to lovers, a bit marriage of convenience, and there’s some angsty fake dating with a hint of prince(ss) and the pauper. If you love fantasy romance, I’m saying now that this is a must-read in the genre. It’s been quite the journey already and I’m excited to see what comes next! Plus the sequel releases soon! Thank you @valentine_pr_ for sending me a physical copy! ★ HASHTAGS //    #fantasyromance #romantasy #RomanceBooks #ReadRomance #shelfie #aquietmoment #momentofmine #aestheticpost #stillography #flashesofdelight #bookstagram #ilovebooks #bookphotography #bibliophile #bookish #booksbooksbooks #bookphoto #ofquietmoments #hyggehome #ofsimplethings #afateofwrathandflame #katucker #valentineprlm https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce2L5EXJ9lD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Maybe it's all those caramel apples out there. Maybe it's the longing for learning. Ah, who am I kidding? It's his hair. // Bouncy, messy curls that remind me of a guy I dated from Scandia Minnesota. He was sweet and had the bluest eyes. Sometimes you just wonder what happened to people don't you? // This was shot on #location by the amazing @bowman.studio How much do I long for those simpler times...a truck full of props and wardrobe. Oh wait, I have a shoot next week so I guess it's back to filling that truck again! #thenappynow #stylist #wardrobestylist #bstyle #bstyled #propping #travel #Minnesota #aquietmoment #locationphotography #peaceful #happy #mood #library #university #uofmn #modellife #darlingdaily #lovelysquares #pursuewhatislovely #thatsdarling #theverydayproject #thatauthenthicfeeling #seekthesimplicity #postitfortheaesthetic #chooselovely #dailydoseofcolor #photographylife #visualoflife https://www.instagram.com/p/CWJ8ZcSsk16/?utm_medium=tumblr
