Hello everyone I’m nipping in on #stacksaturday to share a little #scenicspinestack which I saw on the amazing @humphreads page. I’ve also realised I’ve got enough of these to do a paperback version so that’ll be coming your way at some point. Summer - Ali Smith Dreamland - Rosa Rankin-Gee The New Wilderness - Diane Cook Reservoir 13 - Jon McGregor The Wolf Road - Beth Lewis I Am Behind You - John Ajvide Lindqvist Hame - Annalena McAfee How many have I read? Umm just the one - Wolf Road which was wonderful but will be making its way to a new home hopefully this year, looking at you @keeperofpages 😉😘 I’d love to know your thoughts on any of these books or authors. Let’s have a chat in the comments! Have a great weekend everyone 🤗😘 #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstack #scenicspines #beautifulbooks #hungryforhardbacks #alismith #summer #dreamland #rosarankingee #thenewwilderness #dianecook #reservoir13 #jonmcgregor #thewolfroad #bethlewis #iambehindyou #johnajvidelindqvist #hame #annalenamcafee #booksineedtoread #booksandcandles https://www.instagram.com/p/CZm2Aq6Lacl/?utm_medium=tumblr

🌻READING/ LIFE UPDATE Happy Saturday, my loves! I hope everyone is doing well. I just wanted to pop in with a little reading update: I'm currently reading Dreamland by @rosarankingee and It's All About Teddy by @leedarkinmiller, as well as listening to The Choice by @kirstenmillerbooks, and I'm really enjoying all 3! As for a life update: I'm still massively recovering from seeing Harry Styles' Love On Tour, both physically and emotionally. We did a 16-hour round trip on the train and travelled from Cornwall to Manchester and back within 34 hours, and it was absolutely exhausting. That being said, Harry was sensational, everything I could've wanted and more, and I'd do it again with no notice in a heartbeat. The post-concert depression has hit hard and I'm still so emotional from the whole experience, but I wouldn't change it for the world and I can't wait for the next tour. We're having a very lazy weekend and are looking forward to treating ourselves to a takeaway for Father's Day tomorrow! Let me know what you're up to this weekend!🫶🏻 🏷 #bookstagram #books #booklover #book #bookworm #bookstagrammer #reading #bookish #bookaddict #booknerd #bibliophile #instabook #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #b #read #bookaholic #booksbooksbooks #bookphotography #bookshelf #booklove #love #bookreview #bookcommunity #bookblogger #instabooks #booklovers #reader #igreads #bookrecommendations via @preview.app (at Par, Cornwall) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce8yv-Moo-G/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello everyone and hope you’re all well. Today it’s time for some #uppercasetitles which I saw on the lovely Clair’s page @always_need_more_books I decided to go with hardbacks but I might do another one later on with paperbacks, there were quite a lot! I’ve read and loved Stay With Me and The Testaments but the rest of the titles are on my TBR. Alongside you can see my @paperandword Hygge candle which smells delicious! 😊 Can you see anything here you’ve read and loved? Or want to read?

Hello bookish friends! And happy Friday to you all. I’m here to celebrate (in my usual way 😂) with the second part of my birthday book haul! Thank you so much to @keeperofpages @tarheelreader @chrissireads Mr B and my family for spoiling me rotten in a tough year. I’ve already read Circe with @keeperofpages but I read the paperback edition. She knew I was cursing myself having not bought the hardback so she eased the pain and bought it for me! 🤣😍 The other books I’ve been coveting for a little while apart from Of Women And Salt which I hadn’t heard of but as soon as I saw it and read the synopsis, I knew I had to have it. I’m also planning to read Hot Stew at some point with @tarheelreader (we have a VERY long buddy reads list) as we enjoyed Elmet so much when we read it together a while back. So, tell me all the things!! What do you think of any of these books or authors? Have you read any? Do you want to read any? Let’s have a chat in the comments! Have a lovely weekend everyone 🤗😘 #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #birthdaybookhaul #allthebooks #booksimexcitedtoread #buddyreads #openwater #calebazumahnelson #summerwater #sarahmoss #ofwomenandsalt #gabrielagarcia #hotstew #fionamozley #circe #madelinemiller #failosophy #elizabethday #dreamland #rosarankingee #bookobsessed https://www.instagram.com/p/CO3JX1-L8xT/?igshid=ch1gzpzbon6t
