As for me, I'm most looking forward to the Broken Prince by @author.erinwatt, the sequel to Paper Princess which I absolutely adored. Gosh, what I'd give to have the book right bloody now! 😍 How about you? • Hope everyone's having a wonderful day! xx

• "Hello peeps! Just wanna show you some Sarah J. Maas shelf appreciation post (sans Queen of Shadows, waiting for its US paperback version to match my copies). Anyways, if you've been following me, you'd already know how much I love Sarah J. Maas and her fictional characters. They're pretty much badass and that, I superbly adore. • Qotd: Top 3 fave Maas' fictional characters? Aotd: It's prettt hard to choose but for now, I'll stick with Rhysand, Rowan and Celaena. 💙

🌹 "The rose's rarest essence lives in the thorns." —The Rose and The Dagger, Renee Ahdieh • Happy weekend guys! Hope everyone's having a wonderful one! Weekend was fun for me as I went to spa and some food trippin' with my friends. But I'll be off to work later on, what a buzzkill I know. Ha. How about you? And oh, TRATD is my latest bookish purchase btw. Can't wait to see how this duology ends as I fell in love with the first book. Did you love the series? 💙

• HELLO BOOKSTAGRAM! HELLO FRIENDS! I'm Kris, btw, and I'm back (sort of)! If you haven't noticed, I've been gone for more than a month because of some personal matters I had and still have to deal with. But yeah, that's how life goes. First of all, I wanna express how much I MISSED YOU ALL! You have no idea just how much. I missed seeing your wonderful posts but I missed interacting with you the most. Going to bookstores not knowing what's on the trend feels terrible bc I had no bookstagram to consult to at the time (just bc I had to control myself phew). Second of all, HOW ARE YOU? How have you been? I hope amazing things have been going on with you bc y'all are awesome and you deserve awesomeness. After I deal with this personal business (very soon hopefully), I swear I'd be back in full force. Ha! Until then. Sending you power hugs and sloppy kisses! 😂🙆😘 All my love, Kris 💋

• "In that moment, Blue was a little in love with all of them. Their magic. Their quest. Their awfulness and strangeness. Her Raven boys." —#TheRavenBoys, #MaggieStiefvater • Happy Wednesday/Thursday people of Earth! 💚 I feel terrible not being able to finish TRB yet. (I know, I know.) I started it early last month but wasn't able to finish it, too many distractions lurking in the surface. Anyways, I really, really hope to continue on and marathon it real soon after finishing my modules for my Masters degree (crossing fingers for that) 😅. • Qotd: Who is your favorite Raven boy?

• "If I am a sword, I am a sword made of glass, and I feel myself beginning to shatter." —Glass Sword, Victoria Aveyard • Happy Sunday beautiful people of Earth! Hope you're having a blast this weekend! 💙 • Qotd: Have you read Glass Sword? Me, not yet. Soon I really, really hope. Since reading ACOMAF, I couldn't find myself moving on and finishing another book. It's like I feel there's something lacking. I'm not even sure of what genre I'm in the mood for. Oh the struggle is real. Ha. 😰😅

• "Happiness depens on being free, and freedom depends on being courageous." —The Winner's Curse, Marie Rutkoski • Happy Friday you lovely people of Earth! 💖 What collectibles (except books, obvs) make you happy? As for me, collecting these bow clips makes me feel glee. These are some of them. Ha. 🎀 How about you? Lemme know what makes you happy crazy! Funko pops? Legos? Mugs? Pens? Coloring books? Flowers? Receipts, why not? Or whatever it is, call me curious. ☺️

• "You're going to feel uncomfortable in your new world for a bit. It always does feel strange to be knocked out of your comfort zone but I hope you feel exhilarated too... Live boldly. Push yourself. Don't settle. Just live well. Just live." —Me Before You, Jojo Moyes • Oh you guys. I finished this beauty last night and I almost shed in tears at the end. The emotions it conveyed are all overwhelming and they're just floating in the air waiting to explode like balloons. It was beautifully heartbreaking, well-crafted and truly inspirational. This book was not just a love story. But it was definitely more. It entails about life and living it to the fullest, risks and all. It was also about widening your horizons about the thousand possibilities out there if you only let yourself believe and take your steps forward. I could pretty much relate to Louisa about how, on her age, had lived the way she did. I suppose some of us need a Will Traynor to realize that. • Now, I am so ready for the movie! Are you? Oh my dear poor heart, prepare to shatter. •

🐝 "I hadn't realized that music could unlock things in you, could transport you to somewhere even the composer hadn't predicted. It left an imprint in the air around you, as if you carried its remnants with you when you went." —Me Before You, Joho Moyes • Hello lovelies! I'm currently reading and more than halfway through this book and I'm loving it so far. I'm not yet ready for the impending doon, that is my heart though. • I can't wait for the movie to come out next month! I've watched the trailer a couple of times and all the bloody feels are overwhelming. Oh poor heart. • What's your current read?

📗 Happy TGIF or wonderful weekend to you lovely human beings! 💛 • So Empire of Storms by S.J. Maas had recently revealed its cover. What did you think of it? • Book Cover Review: My initial reaction: OH! Oh. Ohhh... Sadly, I was not entirely a fan of the new cover to be honest. Here are a few reasons why... - the color background wasn't as striking and as bold as I thought it should be, it feels sort of plain and boring to me - Celaena looked badass but she was kinda looking pale or so white here (like the previous books, but in here it was quite more evident). - her outfit looks more modernized compared to others though it's somehow the same with that of the 1st book, only less traditional. - I was actually looking for her cloak! Can someone give her a cloak please? It's my favorite part of her. - The entire cover felt like it came from a complete new story or a from a different series, at least for me though. • If you loved it, that's great to hear. If not, then welcome to the club. This is just my honest review or my personal thoughts about it. 😊 One thing's for sure though! I LOVE this series so much. It's one of my absolute faves and nothing can stop me from devouring these books that gave me so much life! September can't come fast enough! 😅💖

• "Life is made of so many moments that mean nothing. Then one day, a single moment comes along to define every moment that comes after. Such moments are tests of courage, of strength." —#AnEmberin theAshes, #SabaaTahir • A very important question: Am I the only one here who haven't read this book I heard nothing about but great things? Because if so, forgot I just told you that. Ha! But if you feel my sentiment, join the club. Although I'm sure, I'd be devouring this one in no time. 💛 • Special thanks to my friend @thenerdgirlofficial for sending me a sample preview and bookmark of this gem last year even before it came out, personally signed and addressed by the author herself. Thank you Gladys! 😘Bookstagram is such a wonderful, thoughtful community indeed. • Happy Thursday everyone!

✨ "To the people who look at the stars and wish..." "To the stars who listen— and the dreams that are answered." —#ACourtofMistandFury, #SarahjMaas • This book. THIS. BOOK. This book consumed me in all the right places. I was bundled up in my own cocoon devouring this gem. It was beautiful, sad, joyful, greedy, wrath-driven, fire-burning, bloodlust, heartwrenching, soul-shattering and perfect all at once. It was epic. It was a masterpiece. Oh my poor heart. I don't even know where to begin with. This book destroyed me then redeemed me. It was music of different kinds that I will myself to dance over and over again until the very last sound. It's a song filled with lyrics I dare keep to memory until the very last word. It was like a painting I could stare unblinking, a world I could get lost into and a treasure I'd keep precious forever. I fell in love with this book and I fell in love with @therealsjmaas more and more. • Okay, I literally finished just a few moments ago this epic of a book and I could talk about it forever if I can but yeah. I was so immersed in this world that I forgot the reality in front of me. If I could unread it, I would and start all over again. Oh this series is my soulmate. • To summarize this book in one word: RHYSAND. • If you've read this, feel free to comment or send me a DM and I'd gladly talk about it more with you. But no spoilers please in the comments! 💙 • PS. This is not a book review. Just a tumbled mess of babbling thoughts.

🌚 Happy TGIF you guys! I'm so ecstatic to join the #ACOMAF bandwagon cause now it's in my bloody hands! Quick story: I went to the bookstore yesterday to see if this was out so I was literally walking through the entire store seeking this out and almost losing hope. But when my friend and I was making fun of a book title and was about to head out, my eyes suddenly sought out ACOMAF just literally beside the book we've been holding. And boy did I squeal of delight. (PS. I then forced my friend to buy The Crown to join me spend money on books. I'm such a good friend I know. ) Okay, end of story, just thought I'd share. 😍😂 • Okayyy, so I already started this humongous book last night. I'm still on the first pages so I dunno yet but I'm pretty excited to see what's gonna happen but I can't wait for my bae Rhysand to show up. 💙 • Qotd: Have you started this? Finished it? No spoilers please! #sarahjmaas #acourtofmistandfury

♠️ "Better terrible truths than kind lies." —#SixofCrows, #LeighBardugo • Who's excited for Crooked Kingdom? I know I am! Six of Crows was one of my most favorite reads of last year and I just can't wait to see the gang back in full force. Expect it to be epic, it's Bardugo, after all. 😎 • Happy Thursday everyone! Hope yours is incredible! ♥️

🌹 "Then, like a shimmering disk too rich and clear to be described, the sun slipped over the horizon and lined everything with gold. It was like seeing the world being born, and we were the sole witnesses." —#ACOTAR, #SarahJMass • Hello beautiful people of this world! Have you gotten your ACOMAF copies yet? Sadly for me, not yet. Our local bookstore doesn't have it yet, and I might go ballistic if I don't have it this week and I'd just have to do some online shopping again. Damn. Anyways, I'm so jealous and happy at the same time for those who have it in their hands whoo! Enjoy folks! 😅 • Qotd: Which among the new releases have you gotten already? #acourtofthornsandroses

Make friends. Dream big. Love lots. 💖 #gutsgloryglitter
