What's one of your favorite series? • One of mine is Serpent & Dove! It was the book that started my bookstagram actually. The concept really stood out to me and I fell in love with the characters. Blood & Honey really broke my heart so im still recovering from it but I love Lou's personality. Her and Reid are so grumpy/sunshine and I live for it! Easily a 5 🌟 book for me! • #serpentanddove #bloodandhoney #godsandmonsters #latteart #bookstagram #bookblogger #bookrecommendations #witchesofinstagram (at Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClAOooCL1gH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I did a thing because the obsession for white haired characters is real. I likely won’t do this every day, but I’ll have some fun with some character portraits nevertheless! And also I’ll use less ink bc white hair 😭 #inktober #inktober2022 #inktoberprompts #bookish #acotar #shadowandbone #sorceryofthorns #childrenofbloodandbone #gameofthrones #witcher #throneofglass #whitehaired #bookcharacters #sarahjmaas #witchlands #lotr #elisekova #serpentanddove #poppywar #inktoberchallenge #drawing https://www.instagram.com/p/CjG-01TpU0c/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I feel this may be an unpopular opinion on this book, but I thouroughly enjoyed it! I feel it may have had to do with the fact that it really reminded me of Nina and Matthias (my bbys). I have yet to read the 2nd and 3rd book, but I do feel that I will enjoy them as well. 😅 It's just one of those books. The story, while containing plot holes the more I think of it was so very intriguing. The main heroine, Louise (that's my second name!) is such a sassy and fun character. Something I'd like to give a little shout-out to is the fact that the side characters weren't just thrown in there. In my opinion they aided the development of the story better.

Lou le Blanc ✨🍃 Originally I had planned to turn this edit into Lou casting magic but somewhere along the way it started giving me “Cheeky Lou inviting you to make mischief” vibes instead so that’s where I ended up. I’ve been missing Lou a lot recently and it felt good to bring her back! I have plans in the works for her but they’ll have to wait till I can walk again 😂 Character by @shelbymahurin #louleblanc #louiseleblanc #louleblanccosplay #louiseleblanccosplay #serpentanddove #serpentanddovecosplay #shelbymahurin #bookish #bookishcosplay #bookcosplay #bookcosplayer #bookcosplaycommunity #yaromance #yanovel #epicreads #witch #magic #witchwednesday https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch8PcqJvHIs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I am exactly the kind of ice-blooded, rotten-hearted girl he fears I am. And I am fine with that. - Iron Widow by @xiranjayzhao ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ Normally on the 4th, I do the red, white, and blue stack or flat lay. But this year I can't. So today I bring you books where the hero challenges the status quo. They refuse to accept the unfairness around them. Sometimes they're pushed too far and are forced to fight back. ☆What are your favorite books that challenge the status quo?☆ ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ #readersofinstagram #bookstagram #bookswelove #bookaholic #booklover #booklife #bookaddict #rebellion #challengethestatusquo #4thofjuly #fightback #ironwidow #xiranjayzhao #redrising #poppywar #ashprincess #serpentanddove #emberintheashes https://www.instagram.com/p/CfmhedTJCDj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“That is love, to give away everything, to sacrifice everything, without the slightest desire to get anything in return.” —Shelby Mahurin, Serpent & Dove •————————————————————————————• Are there any books you’re afraid to read? 😬 I have a few. I refuse to read The Last Hours series until it’s completed because I’m afraid it will wreck me. 😬 I’m afraid to read Les Misérables because it’s freaking huge. 😬 I’m afraid to read any Stephen King books because I’m a wimp and can’t handle horror! 😬 And I’m kind of afraid to read Gods & Monsters because I LOVED the first book and was a bit disappointed in the second one so I’m scared of how I’ll feel about the conclusion of the series! Maybe one day I’ll get to it 😅 What books are you afraid of? •————————————————————————————• #serpentanddove #bloodandhoney #godsandmonsters #shelbymahurin #yabooks #youngadultbooks #youngadultfantasy #bookishflatlay #flatlay #bookishaesthetic #beautifulbooks #booksandcoffee #yalit #reader #readersofinstagram #readingforpleasure #booknerd #bookstagramfeature https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci8IvedLfPV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Q: What’s your preferred reading format at the moment? Hardcover? Paperback? Ebook? Audiobook? . . . Happy Sunday, Bookworms! Do you have a preferred reading format at the moment? I have mostly been listening to audiobooks and reading ebooks lately… Especially since I’ve been borrowing from the library more than usual this year. And when I occasionally find an ebook on sale. 🥰 It’s been really nice! But, I still love my hardcovers and paperbacks as well. 🥰 What’s your prefered reading format at the moment?? . And have you gotten any reading done this weekend? I had planned to finish up *Gods & Monsters* this weekend, but have not been able to focus on it at all, which is a major bummer. Hopefully I can work in it today. 🥰 . . . ☀️ #Shelfie. #AlltheBooksAug21 📖 Cozy. #MyFictionalMusings . . . #shelfiesunday #bookshelf #shelbymahurin #serpentanddove #yabooks #currentlyreading #newbook #yafantasy #ireadfantasy #fantasybooks #bibliophile #bookstagram #summerreading #bookshelves #bookcollection #bookcommunity #bookobsessed #bookdragon #totalbooknerd #bookworm #booksofinstagram #bookish #mylibrary #bookhoarder #booksbooksbooks #booklove #summerreading . . . ☀️ . 📖 . ☀️ . 📖 . ☀️ . 📖 . ☀️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CS3-2NfLJcE/?utm_medium=tumblr
