“Why not believe, Syra? If in faith you risk nothing, but through faithlessness, you risk everything?” • -Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff, Gemina (The Illuminae Files, #2)• • • • The weather is gorgeous here in MN. Perfect day for a walk and an audiobook... and an egg-shaped Reese’s. I have 8 audiobooks on my library Overdrive and what am I doing right now? Relistening to my Audible version of the Illuminae trilogy. Just 3 hours left in Obsidio. This trilogy is everything I need in audio and I can’t wait for Amie and Jay’s next trilogy to start in just a few short weeks with Aurora Rising. I have two copies on preorder and can’t wait for the Novella about Aidan in the Illuminae prequel. Yaaaaaaasssssss!!!!!! • • • • Is the weather nice where you are at? #• • • • • • #illuminaefiles #illuminae #gemina #obsidio #yabooks #yabookstagram #yascifi #bookstagram #shelfiesaturday #favoriteseries #booklove #booklover #scifibooks #booksinspace #booknerdigans #bookdragon
“Once Upon a Time I had a Paycheck.... then I walked in to a bookstore... The End.” • • • Awe these #barnesandnoble classics are just so beautiful they make my eyes hurt! Of course right after this picture (sadly, not before) I had to go around and straighten them all because my book OCD kicked in. • • • • • Do you collect these #bn editions? • • • • • • • • #bnnorthtown #bnclassics #bnmidwest #stacksaturday #bookstagram #booklover #bookdragon #bookcover #coverlove #booklover #bookstack
“Everything I’d fought for, every challenge, every victory … all of it was empty if anything happened to him. Without him, I wouldn’t have had the courage to become the person I was. Without him, I wouldn’t have realized what it truly was to live and love life. Centrum permanebit. He was my center, and there was nothing I wouldn’t do, nothing I wouldn’t give up, to keep him safe.” • _Richelle Mead, Silver Shadows• • • • I’ve been in a bit of a picture slump but I’m trying to get out of it. Neither of these series seem to get enough love. Bloodlines is a spin-off of Vampire Academy and it is just as good or better than the original. I plan to do a reread of both series this year BUT 12 books will seriously cut in to the amount of new books I’m able to conquer so I’m hesitating. The Delirium trilogy was pretty unique and interesting though I need a little more love closure in my books. I love these covers on the series vs the original ones.• • • Do you prioritize rereads of series that you love new reads in hopes of finding new favorites? • • • • • #febinbooks19 #bookreadhappyhour #fearyournovelfebruary #lilbookishfeb19 • • • #bloodlines #vampirebooks #deliriumtrilogy #yabooks #yafantasy #yabookstagram #yareads #yabooks #bookstagram #ireadya #yalit #youngadultbooks #bookaholics #booknerd #booknerdigans #bookcover #coverlove #coverlove #booklover

“My mom told me once that money problems sort of sneak up on you. She said it’s like catching a cold. At first you just have a tickle in your throat, and then you have a headache, and then maybe you’re coughing a little. The next thing you know, you have a pile of Kleenexes around your bed and you’re hacking your lungs up.” - •Katherine Applegate, Crenshaw • • • I made it a goal to read all the Maud Hart Lovelace nominees this year. I’m more than halfway through and while there are many good ones, one has gotten me in all the feels. Awe, Crenshaw. This book. It went right to my heart and stayed there. Selling real estate, I see people every year who are losing their home. I read somewhere that over 60% of people who miss one payment never catch up and end up losing their home. Katherine Applegate is a brilliant writer and deserves all the love. Her books are touching, sad and hopeful at the same time and they touch such a deep part in the reader. • • • How beautiful is this display at @bnnorthtown ? The covers are so colorful and varied. Do you have any special reading goals this year? • • • • • • #bookphotography #bibliophile #bookobsessed #bookhoarder #maudhartlovelace #crenshaw #katherineapplegate #middlegrademonday #mgmonday #middlegradelit #middlegradebooks #mglit #mgbooks #booklover #coverlove #coverlove #bnnorthtown #bnmidwest
“Gold shimmered no matter what, but few people could make darkness glitter the way he did.” • -Stephanie Garber, Legendary • • • Do you have a book cover color that you can’t resist? Blue, and especially blue and gold book covers are my kryptonite. Throw in gold edges and 💸💸💸💸 • • • Did you hear Fairy Loot is doing a special edition Finale box? It is their first special edition box ever and I’m sure it will be epic. I’m torn because I want my covers to match and I already pre-ordered the UK version. I wish we could glimpse what makes the cover different before ordering to help with decision making. • • • • • • • • • #janbookstagram19 - new and old books - if my favorite series keep coming out with special anniversary editions like this City of Bones, my bank account is in big trouble. • • #janinbooks19 - time travel • • #lilbookishjanuary19 - fave author w/ 2019 release • • #allthebooksjan19 #bookreadhappyhour • • • • • • • • • #bookphotography #bibliophile #bookobsessed #bookhoarder #bookstagram #bookphoto #bookcover #coverlove #bluebooks #cityofbones #legendary #strangethedreamer #yabooks #yalit #yareads #youngadultbooks #ireadya #booklover #booknerdigans
