Caught a certain SOMEONE reading one of my books. It’s fine as long as she doesn’t spoil anything for me 😸 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bookdragon #blackcatsofinstagram #furbaby #myfurbaby #blackcatsrule #blackcatlove #ofcosymoments #openbook #comfycozy #cozyvibes #amreading #currentlyreading #currentread
What are some of your favorite book-to-movie adaptations? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I read Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips almost 10 years ago (and loved it) and just recently found out it was made into a movie in 2013. I’m not quite sure how I missed that, but now I’m on a mission to find it and watch it 😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #BookishAdventuresJan19 | Ghost or Gods ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #GrimDragon | What A Time To Be Alive! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #LILBookishJanuary19 | Book and Warm Beverage ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #JanBookstagram19 | Standalone You Want More From ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #godsbehavingbadly #mariephillips #booktomovie #mythology #greekmythology #fiction #ofcosymoments #openbook #comfycozy #cozyvibes #teatime

#sponsored | A big thank you to @tlcbooktours and @blinkyabooks for sending me a free copy of Pretty in Punxsutawney by Laurie Boyle Crompton (@lbcrompton) to read and review! This book was a blast and I found myself laughing, and sometimes even cringing, at all that the characters went through. 4/5 ✨ Pretty in Punxsutawney was hilarious, endearing, and heart-warming. I really felt like I went on a journey with the main character (Andie). I felt her excitement, her desperation, her hope, her frustration, all of it. My full spoiler-free review is up on my blog—link in bio—and you can check out the synopsis below. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “A Groundhog Day meets Pretty in Pink mashup from author Laurie Boyle Crompton, Pretty in Punxsutawney tells the tale of a girl willing to look beneath the surface to see people for who they really are. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Andie is the type of girl who always comes up with the perfect thing to say... after it’s too late to say it. She’s addicted to romance movies—okay, all movies—but has yet to experience her first kiss. After a move to Punxsutawney, PA, for her senior year, she gets caught in an endless loop of her first day at her new school, reliving those 24 hours again and again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Convinced the curse will be broken when she meets her true love, Andie embarks on a mission: infiltrating the various cliques to find the one boy who can break the spell. What she discovers along the way is that people who seem completely different can often share the very same hopes, dreams, and hang-ups. And that even a day that has been lived over and over can be filled with unexpected connections and plenty of happy endings.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #PrettyinPunxsutawney #BlinkYA #youngadult #YA #teenromance #cleanreads #sogood #todayiswhatyoumakeit #mustread #tlcbooktours #spoilerfree #bookblog #bookblogger
I didn’t get a chance to post this photo last night, so I’m playing catch-up 😄 #MapMonday on a Tuesday! What are a few of your favorite bookish maps? I love it when maps change little by little between books in a series. Details get filled in as readers are introduced to new lands and/or new features of existing lands 🥰 Did that happen to any of your favorite maps? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve got a new spoiler-free review coming your way later this evening, so keep an eye out for that 😊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bookstagram #bookobsessed #framed #bookmaps #bookishmaps #openbook #ofcosymoments #comfycozy #cozyvibes #ACOTAR #ACOMAF #ACOWAR #sarahjmaas #flatlay
Happy Sunday! Have you done the #24in48 readathon before? I haven’t, but I just signed up for this year’s readathon earlier today 😁 This should be QUITE the experience! 🙌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Once I’m done reading Jane Eyre (or if I give up on finishing Jane Eyre), I’ll be reading Archenemies by @marissameyerauthor (finally!). What’s up next on your January TBR? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Comfy cozy sock slippers: @janeandbleecker 🥰 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #AllTheBooksJan19 | #SockSunday ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #JanBookstagram19 | Winter Vibes ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #archenemies #renegades #marissameyer #fiercereads #booksandtea #ofcosymoments #socksunday #openbook #comfycozy #cozyvibes #leisurelybookish #jb_girl
Do you collect Funkos? If so, what are some of your favorites? If not, what would be the first Funko you’d buy? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s been a while since I’ve posted a Funko shot, so I created this little scene 😅 😂 Expecto Patronum! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m not positive, because it was so long ago, but I think the Golden Trio were my very first Funkos. Now I’ve got characters from books, tv shows, anime, and movies scattered about my book shelves 😄 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #potterhead #pottermore #wizardingworld #harrypotterworld #bookstack #bookspines #readinglist #bookster #funko #funkopops #funkophotography #funkocollection #expectopatronum
Do you ever not finish books? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I usually finish a book, even if I’m not really feeling it. But last year, I started to leave books unfinished. Not because I didn’t like them, but because I wasn’t in the right mindset at the time (like if a book was too dark/sad and it started affecting my mood too much) or I had to stop reading because life got too busy and then I waited too long and just never got around to finishing the book. Altogether, I think there were maybe three books (🤔) that I didn’t finish last year. HOWEVER, I do plan to finish them at some point. They’re just on hold for the time being. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But in the traditional sense of DNF (i.e. thank you, next), there were two books/series that I actively decided to discontinue. I think I may have to reconsider my perspective where DNF is concerned though. I’m not sure it’s worth my time to continue with a book that I’m not enjoying... Then again, at what point do you make that decision? How much of a book do you read before saying “thank you, next”? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m in a conundrum where Jane Eyre is concerned. I’m finding it pretty slow going and I want to push through, but I think that desire comes more from the fact that it’s a classic and less from an actual interest in the story and its characters. It’s due back to the library next week, so I can use that as motivation to read as much of it as possible; or I can try to extend the deadline to give me more time; or I can just pass on it altogether. Decisions, decisions... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #janeeyre #charlottebronte #classicreads #readinglist #booksandtea #ofcosymoments #flippingpages #openbook #comfycozy #cozyvibes #leisurelybookish #hygge #hyggelife
What are some of your favorite types of bookish merch? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m quite fond of bookish candles and fandom jewelry... along with art prints, bookmarks, and other items that show off book/character art. Like this Shadowhunters tarot card. The artwork is fantastic and the deck includes all our fave characters - Jace, Clary, Simon, Magnus, Tessa, Jem, Will, I could go on 😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S. Thank you to Ian for being my model for this photo! In case anyone’s wondering, he didn’t dress up for this shot. He likes wearing suspenders to work 🥰 And ties and bow ties too 😄 So dapper! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #themortalinstruments #ladymidnight #lordofshadows #cassandraclare #shadowhunters #queenofairanddarkness #bookspines #readinglist #willherondale #tessagray #theinfernaldevices #instagramhusband
