Felt like a rainbow photo kind of day today! I’ve been trying to do a bit of spring cleaning/de-cluttering for the past couple of days and it’s not going very well! I’m a bit of a hoarder (of books mostly but not exclusively 😅) and I find it really difficult to throw things away! However, I am really trying to be brutal so we shall see! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ QOTD: What did you think of the Game of Thrones finale in emojis!? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ AOTD: 🤨😯🙄🤷🏻‍♀️💛 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was also tagged by the lovely @the_nook_of_tomes to do the #chocolatebrandbooktag ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍫Snickers (slow read) - Dracula ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍫Kit Kat (fast read) - The Hate U Give ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍫Twix (thought I’d love but didn’t) - The Silence of the Girls, I liked it but not as much as I’d hoped! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍫Milky Way (Book with different worlds) - The Chronicles Of Narnia ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍫M&M (book that cheers me up) - Pride & Prejudice ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ll tag some lovely bookstagrammers! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookphotography #bookish #book #books #booklove #booklover #booklovers #booklife #booknerd #bookworm #bookaddict #bookaholic #read #reader #readersofinstagram #readers #reading #bookstack #rainbow #rainbowbooks #igreads #bibliophile #ilovebooks

Hello! I’ve added a couple more books to my #clothboundclassics collection! I am seriously having to stop myself from emptying my bank account to buy them all! 😅 I’ve just started reading The Night Before by Wendy Walker which I’m excited about because I really liked All Is Not Forgotten by Walker when I read it last year! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ QOTD: What have you been up to this weekend? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was also tagged by the lovely @msstar_girl todo the #bookishalphabet tag with the letter C! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍊Author - Charlotte Brontë ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍊Book - The Count Of Monte Cristo ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍊Character - Circe ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For the lovely tagged people your letter is H! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #booklife #booknerd #booksofig #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookish #bookphotography #booklove #booklover #booklovers #bookworm #bookaholic #bookaddict #classicbooks #penguinclothboundclassics #read #reader #reading #igreads #bibliophile #classics #bookcollection #bookcollector #book #books

Hello! How are you all today? I’m just heading home from London just now after seeing Hamilton last night! It was honestly amazing - I didn’t think it could possibly live up to it’s hype but it actually exceeded it! I’ve been reading Keep This To Yourself by Tom Ryan on this train home and I’m enjoying it quite a lot - it’s quick, easy and holds the reader’s attention! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ QOTD: Where is your ideal holiday destination? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was also tagged by the lovely @pigsandpaperbacks to do the #bookishthisorthat tag ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌟Daytime or evening reader - probably evening mostly ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌟Series or Stand-alone - I read more stand-alones but I don’t mind a good series ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌟One language or multiple - I speak a bit of French but probably not enough to easily read a book in it ! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌟Book lender or hoarder - definitely a hoarder 😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ll tag some lovely bookstagrammers! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #booksofinstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bookish #bookphoto #bookphotography #book #books #booklove #booklover #booklovers #booknerd #booknerds #bookworm #bookaddict #bookaholic #booklife #littlewomen #purple #reader #read #readers #readersofinstagram #reading #igreads #bibliophile #louisamayalcott #ilovebooks

I received this fantastic looking book from #readersfirst and I’m hoping to get to it ASAP because it sounds heartbreaking and beautiful! Syria has been in the news for such a long time but I haven’t read anything personally that has enabled me to learn more about it and I’m hoping The Beekeeper Of Aleppo will! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ QOTD: Do you prefer reading inside or outside? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was also tagged by @thebookpug to do the #readinggoals tag ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🐝Reading goal this year - 100 books ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🐝Books read so far - only 29 so I need to speed up ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🐝Book goal this month - I’ve read 2 and I’d like to read at least another 2 or 3 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🐝Next book on your reading list - The Night Before by Wendy Walker ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ll tag some lovely people! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ilovebooks #booksofig #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #book #books #bookish #bookphoto #bookphotography #booklove #booklover #booklovers #booknerd #bookworm #bookaddict #bookaholic #read #reader #readers #readersofinstagram #reading #bibliophile #igreads #thebeekeeperofaleppo #bluebooks #bookstack

Hello! It’s so sunny here in Edinburgh so I thought I’d go for a yellow book stack today! Yellow is a colour I love on book covers - it’s a colour that always cheers me up! I finished Furious Hours: Murder, Fraud and the Last Trial of Harper Lee last night and it was honestly so so good - review coming soon on my blog! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ QOTD: What are you most looking forward to reading this summer? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was also tagged by the wonderful @the_nook_of_tomes to do the #fishybooks tag! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🦈Shark (book I devoured) - All of This is True by Lygia Day Peñaflor ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🦀Crab (book I disliked) - The Cows by Dawn O’Porter ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🦐Shrimp (a book where you disliked the main character) - Twilight, just ugh 😑 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🐠Fish (a classic) - Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🐡Pufferfish (a book with a lot of plot twists) - Game Of Thrones ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🐬Dolphin (a book you had fun reading) - The Exact Opposite of Okay by @laurasteven ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🦑Squid (a book with a dark theme) - In Cold Blood by Truman Capote ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ll tag some lovely bookstagrammers! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ilovebooks #booksofig #booksofinstagram #book #books #bookstack #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booklove #booklover #booklovers #bookish #bookphoto #bookphotography #booknerd #booknerds #bookworm #bookaddict #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #read #reader #readers #yellow #reading #bibliophile #igreads #summer #yellowbooks

Hello! Today I’m featuring this phenomenally good series of books - The Neapolitan Novels by Elena Ferrante. They chart the lives of two friends Lila and Lenù as they grow up in Naples in the 50s. It’s such an unflinchingly honest and complex look at friendship, circumstance, society, class and politics. It is translated from the Italian and very little is known about the author which I find so interesting! If you haven’t read these I highly recommend them! There’s also a fantastic hbo tv adaptation which is very faithful to it’s source. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ QOTD: What’s your favourite translated book? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was also tagged by the lovely @thebookpug to do the #areaderconfessiontag ! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💛Ever damaged a book? - Yes, a few times by accident unfortunately! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💛A book I didn’t finish - The Unbearable lightness of Being ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💛Hyped book that wasn’t worth it - Lincoln in the Bardo, I don’t really get the hype for it to be honest, I found the structure irritating. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💛A book you’d be ashamed to say you’ve read - maybe 50 Shades of Grey which I read because everyone was going on about it and it was so badly written I wish I hadn’t bothered but I’m not sure I’m ashamed of any book I’ve read really. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💛Slow reader or fast reader - it kind of depends on the book! I tend to read pretty quick but if the book is particularly tricky I sometimes take it slower. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💛Do you like to buddy read - sometimes I like being able to chat about the book I’m reading with someone who knows what I’m talking about! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ll tag some lovely bookstagrammers! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #booksofinstagram #booksofig #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #book #books #booklove #booklover #booklovers #booknerd #bookworm #bookaddict #bookaholic #booknerds #bookish #bookphoto #bookphotography #read #reader #readers #readersofinstagram #reading #igreads #bibliophile #mybrilliantfriend #theneapolitannovels #naples #ilovebooks
