Thank god it's Friday! 📚 Bit of a rubbish start to the day. Turned up for a blood test before they opened and then spilt water all over the waiting room. 15 mins late to work and everything was damp. Including my book. Which is part of the reason I'm only just posting. Still, I'm planning on doing as little as possible this weekend. Probably read a bit. 📚 #books #bookstagram #bookworm #booklover #read #bibliophile #bookish #instabook #bookphotography #booklove #raw_flatlay #raw_books #bookblogger #tbr

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defences. You build up this whole armour, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life… You give them a piece of you. They don’t ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you." • Neil Gaiman, The Kindly Ones 📚 #books #bookstagram #bookworm #booklover #read #bibliophile #bookish #instabook #bookphotography #booklove #raw_flatlay #raw_books #bookblogger #neilgaiman #bookquotes #bookquote #thesandman

QUESTION: Is there a genre you'd happily rid the world of? 📚 It's time the psychological thriller went to Room 101. There's no originality anymore. My review of this book will be live on the blog at 10 this morning. It's one of those psychological thrillers that just bored me. The same old story of an alcoholic woman who gets herself into trouble. This time she's a barrister. It's Girl on a Train meets Ally McBeal. And Girl on a Train didn't exactly wow me. We need to lay this genre to rest. It's too played out. 📚 #books #bookstagram #bookworm #booklover #read #bibliophile #bookish #instabook #bookphotography #booklove #raw_flatlay #raw_books #bookblogger #bookreviews #bookreview #goodreads #psychologicalthriller #bloodorange

QUESTION: Which house are you in? 📚 I've never really agreed with the house situation in the Harry Potter books. What kind of school pushes the idea that a group of children are most likely evil? Or that a different group are kind but forgettable? I know the books are from Harry's perspective so Gryffindor is seen as the best. But it's a house full of reckless people. Yet despite all of this, I'm still flying the flag for Ravenclaw. We're no better than the rest but we have a decent colour combo. 📚 #books #bookstagram #bookworm #booklover #read #bibliophile #bookish #instabook #bookphotography #booklove #raw_flatlay #raw_books #bookblogger #harrypotterandthephilosophersstone #harrypotter #ravenclawpride #ravenclaw

QUESTION: What is your favourite short story? 📚 Yesterday I decided to quickly read The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Why? Because I had these literal chocolate buttons and wanted an excuse to take this photo. My review of F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story goes up on the blog today but I loved rereading it. It's such a great story. 📚 #books #bookstagram #bookworm #booklover #read #bibliophile #bookish #instabook #bookphotography #booklove #raw_flatlay #raw_books #bookblogger #fscottfitzgerald #shortstories #audiobook #audible #chocolate #chocolatebuttons

QUESTION: How long do you give a book before you give up on it? 📚 Today's post: brought to you by lack of inspiration. A boring but quick Sunday Shelfie featuring my current read. I'm not enjoying it so much at the moment but I'll give it a bit more time. 📚 #books #bookstagram #bookworm #booklover #read #bibliophile #bookish #instabook #bookphotography #booklove #raw_flatlay #raw_books #bookblogger #sundayshelfie #shelfie #currentlyreading #currentread #currentreads

Forgot to post yesterday because of all the excitement. I meant to post this to coincide with my review of this audiobook. I was quite looking forward to this book but it just didn't live up. 📚 It's the story of 2 girls who are accused of committing a horrible crime. Their mothers, who are sisters, can't believe it and, in defending their daughters, the pair start to unearth family secrets that were buried years ago. 📚 #books #bookstagram #bookworm #booklover #read #bibliophile #bookish #instabook #bookphotography #booklove #raw_flatlay #raw_books #bookblogger #audiobook #audiobookstagram #audible #bookreviews

What's this? Another special edition with sprayed edges? What's wrong with me? 📚 A fabulous paperback edition of Feminists Don't Wear Pink by Scarlett Curtis complete with pink edges. It's fabulous. 📚 #books #bookstagram #bookworm #booklover #read #bibliophile #bookish #instabook #bookphotography #booklove #raw_flatlay #raw_books #bookblogger #sprayededges #pinkbooks #feminist #feministsdontwearpink

QUESTION: What was the last book you finished? 📚 Yesterday, I posted my review of On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous. It's such a beautifully written book. It's very lyrical and poetic but can be a little indulgent at times. I really enjoyed the narrative, which is framed as a letter to the main characters' mother. She doesn't speak English so will never read it. It's definitely something I'd recommend to everyone. 📚 #books #bookstagram #bookworm #booklover #read #bibliophile #bookish #instabook #bookphotography #booklove #raw_flatlay #raw_books #bookblogger #bookreviews #bookreview
