What's the last book you picked up because of the cover? The new @fairyloot box is here and has a book that I'm interested in, even though I'm not usually into pirate books: These Rebel Waves by @sara_raasch. I've seen it everywhere and when I discovered it's going to be into the next #fairyloot box I was so excited. Seeing it in person was even cooler! The cover looks and feels amazing! Meanwhile, a small reading update: holy moly I finished A Thousand Splendid Suns and it was WONDERFUL. Gut-wrenching and heartbreaking, but amazing. I definitely recommend it. I'm going to start The Kite Runner right away!! Also, I decided that from now I will shoutout 2 accounts that comment on my latest pic ^_^ #fairylootunboxing #bookbox #lesserate #livre #livres #livro #libro #livros #livreaddict #ler #lecture #leitura #leitores #leitor #romans #livreaddict #bookstagram #instabook #artist #art #writersofinstagram #poetry #wordporn #fae #sarahjmaas #fairy #highfae

I partnered up with internationally bestselling author Anna Todd (@imaginator1d) on the release of #TheBrightestStars. QOTD: What do you want to see in a love story? For me, for a love story to be good, it has to be difficult. It has to rip me apart. You already know I love tragic endings, but when a love story is involved, it’s more about the difficulties the couple faces than about how things end. As long as they go through the worst of the worst, even if they end up fine, then I’m good. The Brightest Stars (in stores now) seems to be my kind of book from this perspective. It’s a novel about a young woman’s quest to keep her family together, despite the lies that are tearing them apart. SYNOPSIS: Karina knows the harsh realities of military life. And like anyone who has grown up around an army base, she knows the background noise that follows a soldier home from war. That’s why she’s forging her own quiet life in her own little house. But she hasn’t turned her back on her family. She’s the glue that holds them together—when her father is deployed, when her brother, Austin, has another brush with the law. Karina knows that she has to look after herself, that she can’t always fix what’s broken. But when Austin’s behavior worsens and her father’s reactions grow more extreme, Karina feels her own edges beginning to fray. That’s when she meets him—a closed book she’s desperate to open. At just twenty, Kale is a handsome, brooding soldier struggling with the aftermath of two tours in Afghanistan. He’s emotionally damaged and closed off. But as Karina gets used to his stable presence, she finds it hard to ignore the way he makes her feel. But illusions quickly made are quickly shattered. That’s when Karina has to find her own courage—to untangle the truth from the lies, and decide what she’s going to do about it. A riveting story about love and lies, The Brightest Stars will stay with you long after the last page has been turned. #bookstagram #bookgram #thebrighteststars #annatodd #romance #love #instalove #readingbooks #bookstagrammer #romancereads #igreads #reads #bookgirl #stars # # #booksbooksbooks #bookart #art #artgram #flatlay #fromabove #

What's something that you can't stand about today's society? So right now I'm at that training that I told you about in the stories. I won't be able to answer the comments right away, but I'll do it when I'll be back home. The rest of my week will be pretty full: today this, tomorrow I'll be at another event that I'll tell you more about in the stories (have I told you I played in a movie? ), Friday I might go out (who are you and what have you done with Liz), Saturday I'll be observer at the referendum and Sunday I'll either go see Anna Todd or I'll be at the referendum again (it all depends on my pissed off levels from Saturday). And I want to see Venom this weekend too haha. Sorry I can't be that active today – don't forget I shoutout 2 accounts that comment on my new post. #medusa #greek #percyjackson #rickriordan #womenofbooks #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #bookwarm #booksonbooks #bookfun #ilovebooks #livre #livro #libre #libro #kitap #kitaplar #carte #carti #instabook #igbook #igbooks #yalovin # #

It's good cause damn I need a biiit of change, make my feed more colourful and stuff, but it's a bad thing because I know I'll barely have time to read… now, now when I finally got into Throne of Glass series I kid you not, today, while I was ironing the new backgrounds (I ironed today more than I ironed in my entire life), I couldn't stop thinking about Manon and how Asterin said "witchlings are sacred, Manon. Sacred.". And then I thought about the Ironteeth and about the Crochans and about the Valgs and so on.

What's one book/series that you hated at first but then it turned out to be super good? You know what I'm gonna talk about. Throne of Glass. When I read the first book, I couldn't stand Celaena. I didn't believe her badassness, I didn't believe her as a character. She didn't do anything to show she's the best assassin in Adarlan, and I hated that stupid love triangle. Plus, the plot of the book was stupid. Being the King's Champion isn't the kind of job that would require a contest. So for more than a year I didn't touch any other book in this series. Until exactly 20 days ago when I was in the mood for something heartbreaking and I rememberd Sam (there was a small fanfic that I read on Insta that reminded me of him). So I started The Assassin's Blade and rolled my eyes so much I swear I could see the back of my head. Still, I didn't like it. And after finishing it, on a whim, I started Crown of Midnight. Cute, but average. But it made me read Heir of Fire. And oh boy. The funny thing is, I barely remember what happens in every book. I only remember the story. So now I started Tower of Dawn. Manon is bae and I want an origin story. I definitely like ToG more than ACOTAR (maybe because I read ACOTAR a long time ago, but even without that, the story in ToG is… grander).

Have you completed your Goodreads challenge? How many books did you plan to read this year? How many books have you read so far? I've read 49 books out of 52, so I'm super close. And next year my challenge will be the same – 52 books, one per week. I think it's fair enough and if I keep reading at least 52 books per year for the rest of my life I'm going to be satisfied. I'm rarely buying physical books anymore, so the books that I get from bookboxes are a blessing haha. Especially since they are signed. I used to think that signed books are so hard to get – not that I was wrong, I still think that. Aside from bookboxes, how else can you get your hands on a signed book if you're not catching an author on tour or if they are not coming to the book fairs in your city? You never know if one of the books that you got signed, like Mirage by Somaiya Daud that I got from @fairyloot in September, will become super valuable, like one of the Harry Potters.

Have you completed your Goodreads challenge? How many books did you plan to read this year? How many books have you read so far? I've read 49 books out of 52, so I'm super close. And next year my challenge will be the same – 52 books, one per week. I think it's fair enough and if I keep reading at least 52 books per year for the rest of my life I'm going to be satisfied. I'm rarely buying physical books anymore, so the books that I get from bookboxes are a blessing haha. Especially since they are signed. I used to think that signed books are so hard to get – not that I was wrong, I still think that. Aside from bookboxes, how else can you get your hands on a signed book if you're not catching an author on tour or if they are not coming to the book fairs in your city? You never know if one of the books that you got signed, like Mirage by Somaiya Daud that I got from @fairyloot in September, will become super valuable, like one of the Harry Potters. Don't forget to use ELIZABETH5 on your 3/6 months #fairyloot subscription to save some money. #bookbox #wordporn #poetry #poetryisnotdead #kitap #livre #livro #libre #libro #bok #bog #iread #bookish #art #artgram #artstagram #bookgirl #bibliophile #bookpic #bookphoto #instareads #booksofinsta #bookish #booklove #ilovebooks #bookworld #bookcommunity #bookaholic
