“There are many kinds of mothers.” -The Wild Robot by Peter Brown • • • • ❤️ One if my favorite middle grade reads last year. I loved Roz the robot and the cute animal characters. I’m looking forward to reading the sequel this summer! • • • • • • #middlegradebooks #middlegradelit #mglit #bookstagram #kidlit #kidsbookstagram #kidsbooks #thewildrobot #ilovereading #booknerd #bookdragon #booklover #coverlove #bookcover

“Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.” • -Douglas Adams, Mostly Harmless (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, #5) • • • Science Fiction and Fantasy are my first loves. I used to be obsessed with Piers Anthony’s Xanth series which now has over 45 books. The tone of the books changes somewhere around book 30 and I started to lose interest but i could easily reread the first 18 in the series. Xanth is a magical land where ever person has one unique magical talent. What would yours be? • • • • • • • #bookstagram #sciencefiction #scifibooks #bookstore #bn #barnesandnoble #bnnorthtown #bnmidwest #yabookstagram #bookshelf #bookcovers #booklover #booklove #ilovereading #books #bibliophile #bookdragon #booknerdigans

“Caesar asks him if he has a girlfriend back home. Peeta hesitates, then gives an unconvincing shake of his head. Handsome lad like you. There must be some special girl. Come on, what’s her name?" says Caesar. Peeta sighs. "Well, there is this one girl. I’ve had a crush on her ever since I can remember. But I’m pretty sure she didn’t know I was alive until the reaping." Sounds of sympathy from the crowd. Unrequited love they can relate to. She have another fellow?" asks Caesar. I don’t know, but a lot of boys like her," says Peeta. So, here’s what you do. You win, you go home. She can’t turn you down then, eh?" says Caesar encouragingly. I don’t think it’s going to work out. Winning...won’t help in my case," says Peeta. Why ever not?" says Caesar, mystified. Peeta blushes beet red and stammers out. "Because...because...she came here with me.” • -Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games • • • Do you have a series that re-ignited your love of reading? Hunger Games did that for me. It was so unique and such a fascinating dystopian world that it hooked me from the beginning. • • • • • • • #shelfie #bookshelf #hungergames #funko #funkopop #peetamellark #katnisseverdeen #yafantasy #yabooks #yabookstagram #dystopian #bookstagrammer #bookdragon #booknerdigans #coverlove #bookcover

“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
