via Instagram https://ift.tt/2Ko9UHV 💎 true story: in 2015 when I went to YALLFest, my dad and I met @reallyrichelle at a signing, and I of course wanted to talk to her about her books; but she and my dad wound up talking to each other for ten minutes about bacon. 🤷🏽‍♀️ hey, it still made for a unique experience and a funny memory! And Richelle is one of those authors who is super chill and down to earth when you meet her, made the experience that much better chatting about breakfast foods 😂 💎 are you guys excited for the third addition to #TheGlitteringCourt series? #TheEmeraldSea looks like it’s going to be great, and I can’t wait to put all three covers side by side!How gorgeous have these covers been?! 💎 QOTD: what is your favorite Richelle Mead series? I personally love her Vampire Academy books, through and through. I tore the series apart when I was in high school, reading a book every other day until I finished!

My wireless headphones are a personal must because I love to zone out and listen to podcasts!

via Instagram http://ift.tt/2s36Jg7 ⚯͛ So... not entirely book-related, but who doesn't love a good photo of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter? ⚡️ ⚯͛ Diagon Alley is my favorite of the two parks, it's so detailed and I notice something new each time I go there -- for instance, the signs above the shops are so intricate, and there are so many, I see one I never saw before each time! ⚯͛ Speaking of which, you may see an increase in WWOHP photos here because... I got a summer job working for Universal Orlando! ⚯͛ QOTD: which Harry Potter book is your favorite, and is it different from your favorite movie in the series? Why?

via Instagram http://ift.tt/2sI3QBC hello hello everyone!!! I hope your summer is off to a good start and that you've gotten some reading done! I am pleased to say I've survived my first year of college, despite how many times I came down with the flu or a cold or a sinus infection 😅 I know I haven't posted a photo in a while, but hopefully if you keep up with my blog you'll know I haven't been entirely MIA for the last few months! To recap, I've done some promo blitz for various books with @PenguinTeen and participated in a couple of blog tours for some books that are coming out this summer! One of the neatest packages I received was this ONE MEMORY OF FLORA BANKS arc box that came with a jigsaw puzzle to complete! Such a fun and unique way to do promo. I've also started working full time this summer, so on my days off I hope to get some good posts in! What's new with everyone as we kick off summer?

via Instagram http://ift.tt/2jAD5wu 🥛🐝Happy cozy January everyone! I got my copy of Rupi Kaur's #MilkandHoney today in the mail, and just flipping through im already in love with the artwork and poetry inside. Caraval review to come soon! What is everyone reading?

via Instagram http://ift.tt/2id85zn 🕯 good evening lovelies and happy new year! What's everyone reading so far? This wondrous read drops in just a few more weeks, I can't wait for the magic of CARAVAL to sweep everyone away! It sucks you in immediately and refuses to let go until you've met the very last page. Plus, Julian seems like my kinda guy 😻😉😛 • • • 🛁This bloodred bath bomb is from Basin, and smells absolutely heavenly! I thought the color paired perfectly with my current read. And though the cover of Caraval is stunning, the pages in between are too!! 🎡🎠 • • • My top ten reads of 2016 post is coming up! Any guess as to which books made my list? • • • #currentlyreading #ilovebooks #bookphotography #bookstagram #books #bookworm #bibliophile #alwaysreading #ireadya #bookstagramfeature #bookshimmy #booknerd #booklover #booknerdigan #bookporn #igreads #booksofinstagram #bookblogger #blogger #bathbomb #lush

via Instagram http://ift.tt/2iPFiRm 2016 was the year my Bookstagram really took off. I may not have thousands of followers or gained hundreds of likes per photo, but this year I loved interacting with people in the comments as I challenged myself creatively and pushed myself to use props in unexpected ways. I'm not surprised that the photos I posted this year that gained the most likes were my Harry Potter photos! Everyone loves a good Potter shot, and this was the year of Harry Potter revivals. Keeping true to my username, I used cups of coffee most frequently as props as well. Overall I couldn't be more proud of what I've achieved this year and I owe it all to each and every person who hit 'like' and left a comment. Thank you everyone, I hope 2017 is just as creative ✨☕️📚

via Instagram http://ift.tt/2hrvXTv ✨ what is everyone reading to wrap up the year? I had the absolute sweetest secret santas this year, they spoiled me with Fantastic Beasts goodies 😻 I can't thank them enough, they know me too well. Plus I got Newt's wand when I went to a special preview screening of the movie! After I finish the screenplay I think I'll pick up Stephanie Garber's CARAVAL. 🎠

via Instagram http://ift.tt/2hQMS1c 🌲 it's finally Christmas break!!! Which means I finally have a chance to sit down and READ! No school stress, no homework, no papers or projects, just three blissful weeks of relaxing back home. 🎄 to get into the Christmas spirit, I'm reading Jay Asher's WHAT LIGHT. It's supposed to be much more uplifting than his famous 13 Reasons Why, so I'm excited to dig into this one! ✨QOTD: how are you celebrating the holidays?

via Instagram http://ift.tt/2h1SHrM ✨ Hello everyone! Apologies for my long absence, but now that the semester is winding down I can FINALLY catch up on reading and blogging! ⚔️ I was having a pretty cruddy day yesterday so I began to reread my all-time favorite book, NEVERNIGHT by Jay Kristoff. For whatever reason, the woes of murder and trickery always put me back in a good mood 😂❣️ 💀QOTD: what book never fails to bring you out of a bad mood? #stabstabstab

via Instagram http://ift.tt/2eeWa4A 🎃 HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! 🎃 What are you reading today? I'm excited about this gem I found at a secondhand bookstore, where the infamous Jack the Ripper killings are investigated by Sherlock Holmes! 👻 QOTD: what are some of your favorite scary or Halloween movies? I think I'll watch Hocus Pocus today before getting in costume and going out with my roommates!

via Instagram http://ift.tt/2e71ww8 I love the way the light plays through my blinds 💡 ☠ Yesterday I started this lovely book, and I'm already enthralled if anything by the overall design of it! The story is fabulous so far, as well, incredibly well written and developed.

via Instagram http://ift.tt/2euaV34 🍕I finally got my hands on a copy of KOA by David Arnold! Highly recommended to me by so many blogger friends, I can't wait to dig into this one. Thank you for the trade, Morrisa! @empressofstorms 🌮I'm told that the characters eat delicious dinner food quite often but I was in a total bottomless pit snacking mode last night when I took this photo. 😂 ☕️ Fall weather is FINALLY here in Tallahassee, today's weather is GORGEOUS at 58 degrees, cloud-free and sunny! Trader Joe's has spiced apple cider that's to die for if you hear it for a minute in the microwave. Fall in a cup! 🍰 QOTD: What's your favorite snack to eat in the fall? Honey crisp apples and caramel dip is my main weakness. My mom and I will also buy pumpkin spice marshmallows to make some Halloween Rice Krispy treats!

My name is Giselle and I'm a blogger, bookstagrammer, and self-professed candle addict who lives in sunny Florida! I'm currently living in Tallahassee attending school at Florida State University (GO SEMINOLES!). I would love to rep for The Melting Library because your candles are some of the most unique when it comes to book-inspired scents, rather than your generic smells people often associate with characters and books. You evidently give careful thought and consideration to each new scent, and I aim to bring that same creativity to my photos should I be selected as a rep. My favorite candle smells are the ones that can take me somewhere new, that remind me of a special place or memory, or just feel like home. I also love to support small businesses and entrepreneurs and have purchased from your shop in the past! 💡 Thank you for considering me as a rep, if you have any further questions feel free to reach out to me here or on Twitter 💕 #TMLRepSubmissions2 @themeltinglibrary

via Instagram http://ift.tt/2e9Ziiu 🍂Happy Fall! How cute is this Book of Spells my mom surprised me with as a Halloween decoration? I think it looks pretty cute among this stack of autumn-colored books! 🍂 🎃QOTD: What are your Halloween plans? I went to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal in Orlando and had such a blast!

via Instagram http://ift.tt/2dWuwb2 🍂 Fall weather is FINALLY here in Florida!!! 😻 ✨🍂 it's the most wonderful time of year, in my opinion. Halloween is right around the corner! One of my favorite reads this season (and every fall) is the Steampunk! Anthology of Fantastically Rich and Strange Stories. 🎃 a compilation of short stories, poems, and even comics all by amazing contributing authors like Libba Bray, whose story Last Ride of the Glory Girls is probably my favorite in the entire book. The device that stops time in the story is actually on the cover! 🕸 QOTD: what are you reading to get into the Halloween/Fall spirit???

via Instagram http://ift.tt/2dA0yYt 👣 Happy October and happy #SockSunday !! Why is there no sock emoji?! Plus how cute are these constellation crew socks I nabbed at Psockology today 😻 💻 I have humongous news: tomorrow, A Book and a Cup of Coffee turns 1! 🎂🍰🎉🎈 keep an eye on my blog tomorrow for a special giveaway, partnered with @susherevans to celebrate the release of SPELLS AND SORCERY! Honestly, I can't think of a better Halloween read than this one, full of witchy mayhem and sisterly love.
