π Howβs your reading going so far for November? Happy Tuesday, fellow book lovers β¦ Are you having a good reading month so far? Any favorite reads of the month yet? 𧑠My month is going surprisingly well, and Iβm not sure if itβs because Iβm mood reading this month instead of having a TBR, or if Iβm just finally in a reading mood. I feel like Iβm reading a little more than usual lately, which is nice. Iβm definitely making reading a priority again, and Iβve missed it so much. 𧑠Howβs your month going so far? Have you loved any books youβve read?? π π π π π π #AlltheBooksNov22 #MyFictionalMusings #CourtofReadingNov22 #ReadingintheWeb π π π π π π #shelfie #bookshelf #reading #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookobsessed #mylibrary #librariesofinstagram #bookstack #yabooks #romancebooks #readingupdate #cozyreading #booklover #booksbooksbooks #bookobsessed #bookcart #ilovebooks #bookcommunity #booksaremagic #readerlife #readmorebooks #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #booknerd #bookish https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck-x__dOvwD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today I dropped this book into a full mop bucket. I also dropped my lighter down the stairs & made a creepy bug friend.

August reading wrap-up
Since #Storygraph has got this awesome new feature making monthly summary graphics, I thought I'd cannibalise it so I could share with you a wrap-up of everything I've read this month.

Iβm pretty on top of my reviews these days, so some of these you might have already seen on the blog, but sometimes I donβt write about a series until I finish it, so this might be a sneak peak into what youβll seeβ¦

It occurs to me that I haven't yet updated my reading progress with a review of either Pet Sematary or my last Pratchett read (The Last Continent), but I'll get to that after sharing this amusing tidbit from Terry Pratchett: A Life With Footnotes. The last line and the footnote just about killed me π€£ mothers truly are a breed of their own. . . . . . #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #reading #biography #terrypratchett #alifewithfootnotes #mothers #readingupdate #bookworm https://www.instagram.com/p/Clhct6TN8q6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Well, Iβm not sure what has happened to this past week. Whether itβs me wishing my life away as I am on two weeks leave soon, or whether it is just the fact that work is so busy, and when not there Iβve done not a lot other than sleep (nanna naps are my new normal), I cannot believe Iβm writing another weekly post already. It feels like five minutes, not seven days, since the last one. Iβve doneβ¦

πLies in Bone by @nataliesymonsπ
I don't know about you, but sometimes it's hard to get into reading when you do so much of it. And then you get into a book slump.
I've been in one the past week or so. It's hard to get into new books sometimes. But Natalie Symons' book Lies in Bone is kind of getting through that slump.
I haven't finished it yet, but so far, I'm really enjoying it! I can't wait to see what scenarios Frank finds herself in, especially in the maybe "haunted" town of Slippery Elm. It has a history. A dark one. And it's just about to unfold.
If you like mystery/thriller, I would recommend this one. Make sure you check the trigger warnings, though.

#readingupdate Hey everyone, Happy Monday!! I am reading The Glass Spare right now. It is a fantasy duology. The story is an amazing mixture of ancient times and present times, but in a totally imaginative world. I like the main character Will very much. I am also reading first part of Heart Of Stone series, which is a very long book. So I am taking it slow. #theglassspare #theglassspareduology #fashionduology #beautifulbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CiIQWNgIHab/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Good morning! How are yβall doing? As the holiday season comes to an end, I (of course) have been doing some book shopping! Iβm spending the holidays in the city so I was finally able to explore Powellβs and find some real gems to take home with me. I also spent some time just hanging out in some cafes and read all of Cursed, an anthology of twisted fairytales! It was so creepy and interesting to read, but definitely something to look up warnings for before starting it! How have you been spending your holiday season? Read any new books? Happy Holidays!! #bookstagram #bookstagrammers #readingupdate #holidayreading #cursedanthology #powellsbooks (at Powell's Books, Inc.) https://www.instagram.com/managedbybooks/p/CYC4ts7vTng/?utm_medium=tumblr

Q: What are you currently reading? I'm (slowly) making my way through Kingdom of the Wicked and another book or two (an ebook and audiobook at the time I wrote this caption). P.S. that bookmark is not from LOTW. Iβm using a Ruined one because the purple and drawings on it best matched the cover vibes π

π Howβs your reading month going so far for January?? And, what are you reading this week? Happy Monday, Bookworms β¦ Did you have a good weekend? Whatβs everyone reading this week? I am still working on *Spare* and *Two Wrongs Make a Right*, but Iβm hoping to make progress with both books today, and hopefully start something new this week. β€οΈ What are you reading this week? And are you having a good reading month so far? The first week of January started out strong for me, but last week I didnβt get much reading done at all. π
Hopefully I can get back on track and find some reading vibes again. I still have a lot of books Iβd like to read before the month ends. β€οΈ Howβs your month going so far? π π π π π π #AlltheBooksJan23 #MyFictionalMusings #CourtofReadingJan23 #ReadingintheWeb π π π π π π #readingupdate #currentlyreading #amreading #tbr #toberead #shelfie #bookshelves #tbrcart #somanybooks #bookstagram #yabooks #romancebooks #bookstack #librariesofinstagram #mylibrary #bookcollection #books #reading #booksofinstagram #funkopop #bookcommunity #booklover #bookphoto #booksaremagic #booksbooksbooks #allthebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CnebBOuOY3u/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Saturday!!!! ππ I'm so glad it's Saturday! I wanted to sleep in but my sister accidentally called me at 8.55 am and woke me up π I got an early start on my chores so π Anywho it's the 2nd of Rab' ul awal and while there are no set duas or prayers, I've decided I'm going to give salawat (at least a 100 times) daily on our Beloved Rasolalallah Β (ο·Ί).Β Also swipe to read cute things the Prophet Β (ο·Ί)Β did that are so endearing they make me cry. π₯Ί. The last one is from one of my favorite narrations. π This is from my tumblr blog that I haven't updated in ages. π
P.S: Reading update: I've read 10% of addie larue and so far, I love it!

Reading, writing and life check in - 6 months into 2024
This post on the blog is part of series of quarterly check-ins I'm doing this year, with a little bit about life, a little writing, and a little bit of reading stats for 2024
I usually only ever do end of the year summaries, but I thought itβd be fun to try and write one each quarter to look back on at the end of the year, so this is my half year one.
Life check-in
Um, in a word? Busy.
I am lucky, my life is full of things I enjoy doing, thereβs just a lot of it. I refuse to cut something out, so Iβve been working on how to do all the things, without running myselfβ¦

π¬ Happy Sunday friends! What are you reading? . Iβm nearing the end of LOCAL WOMAN MISSING by @marykubica and omg Iβm loving it!!! This book has been non-stop engaging and intense from the first page. It was exactly what I needed to get me out of my reading slump!! If youβre a thriller reader, definitely add this one to your TBR! . . . s u m m a r y β£ People donβt just disappear without a traceβ¦ Shelby Tebow is the first to go missing. Not long after, Meredith Dickey and her six-year-old daughter, Delilah, vanish just blocks away from where Shelby was last seen, striking fear into their once-peaceful community. Are these incidents connected? After an elusive search that yields more questions than answers, the case eventually goes cold. Now, eleven years later, Delilah shockingly returns. Everyone wants to know what happened to her, but no one is prepared for what theyβll findβ¦ In this smart and chilling thriller, master of suspense and New York Times bestselling author Mary Kubica takes domestic secrets to a whole new level, showing that some people will stop at nothing to keep the truth buried. . . . h a s h t a g s β£ #localwomanmissing #marykubica #thrillerbooks #booksandcoffee #coffeeandcurrentlyreading #bookaesthetic #booksofinsta #crimebooks #booksbooksbooks #bookreviewersofinstagram #weekendplans #suspensebooks #amreading #readingupdate #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookphoto #bookphotography #hyggestyle #calmandquiet #flatlayphotography #flatlayoftheday #bookishflatlay (at Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPOi2GAtXnI/?utm_medium=tumblr

Blimey β that was a long old week. After a long weekend away, doing a five day stint in the office was a killer. Not helped by the fact I felt like I was perpetually in meetings from Monday through to Thursday. Once again, reading suffered Monday β Friday as, despite having some cracking books in front of me, Iβve been too tired to read them, Thank heavens for weekends! Nothing exciting to shareβ¦
