Dropping the very highly and frequently requested scene for my latest Sketch-a-Wish, voted on by my lovely Patreon members for November! Featuring Lila and Kell from A Darker Shade of Magic by @veschwab ! This was probably the funniest scene in the book and I've been wanting to illustrate it for the longest time. It was actually the runner-up scene for the @Illumicrate ADSOM mug, way back when!

★ Happy #StackSaturday, bookworms! What are you #currentlyreading, are any of these books on your TBR? I hope you’re all having a wonderful weekend! I’ve read most of the books in these two stacks and would happily recommend them—especially the audiobooks! This weekend I’m getting things squared away for the upcoming semester. Classes start Monday, and I’m teaching two sections of ENG 102 and taking two workshop classes for my MFA. It feels like I’ve got a million things to do, but nonetheless I’m looking forward to getting back on campus for Spring. Do you have any favorites in these stacks? ★ HASHTAGS // #booklover #booksofig #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookpics #fantasybooks #bookstack #bookseverywhere #bookaesthetic #bookrecs #adsom #adarkershadeofmagic #veschwab #shadowandbone #leighbardugo #sabaatahir #anemberintheashes #theboneseason #therageofdragons #thesehollowvows #spinthedawn #asongofwraithsandruin #thedarkeststar #jenniferlarmentrout #nocturna https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnsc7rUvtAf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Crime isn't that complicated. People steal because taking something gives them something. If they're not in it for the money, they're in it for the control. The act of taking, of breaking the rules, makes them feel powerful. They're in it for the sheer defiance. Some people steal to stay alive, and some steal to feel alive. Simple as that. [...] I steal for freedom. I suppose that's a bit of both."
— A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab, page 266

❓ What book was your last reading disappointment? Usually, I write reviews only on books I liked and enjoyed reading because it feels nice to share some positive thoughts and promote such books. And I rarely write about disappointments, because I don't want to spoil the fun for people who love these books and it's harder to write critique reviews. But in previous months I've been receiving some comments from you about books I was reading at the moment and requests to share my opinion when I finish. And if I liked the book I did it, but if not, you've just never seen my opinion. Now I think it's not really the best approach to the book blog, so I'll try to share different thoughts. So let's start with my last disappointment - A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E.Schwab. I adored the concept and the synopsis of this book so much. The cover was amazing too and it almost screamed to me how cool it was. And the reviews of this book were really good. But then I read this book and felt literally nothing. I wasn't excited to see what next, I wasn't nervous and didn't sympathize with the characters, I wasn't intrigued. In the end, this book felt like a concept of the book, not the real book. The ideas of characters were interesting and unusual, but they didn't feel alive to me in this story. The magic system and worlds were great as an abstraction but weren't developed deep enough in the book. And the plot was rather dynamic, but it didn’t catch my attention. I didn't feel the atmosphere in this book and I think that's why it wasn't real for me. I wasn't bored and finished this book, and there were some properly written action scenes and a nice mystery. Also, I enjoyed some funny moments. But for me, there was no aftertaste and sadly I have no desire to read the next one in the series. #book #books #bookstagram #bookreview #bookrecommendations #adarkershadeofmagic #veschwab #fantasy #fantasybooks #fantasyblog #fantasybookseries #fantasybookreview https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf_ifwerLCF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

» what author takes up a lot of space on your shelves? I don’t think I realized how much space my Schwab books take up! It’s an entire shelf and then some. I just wish they were all the same size. » hashtags:. #veschwab #bookaesthetic #bookcollection #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #igreads #booknerdigans #readersofinstagram #bibliophile #BookSpines #bookphotography #booklover #readersofig #bookcommunity #bookblogger #bookstack #stackofbooks #booksofinstagram #booksofig #vicious #adarkershadeofmagic #gallant #theinvisiblelifeofaddielarue #monstersofverity #bookcollector (at Boise, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkBwBOiPt14/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mine went by way too quickly, as always, and I am not at all ready for this brand new week. 😅 What’s everyone reading today? Or planning to read this week? I finished *Twisted Lies* and *The Sun and the Star* over the weekend, and today I’m reading *Love, Theoretically* and am hoping to start my reread of *The Conjouring of Light*, which I completely forgot to add to my TBR this month. 😅 After that I think I’m going to start *The Iron Sword* and *Legends & Lattes*. 🥰 What are you reading this week?? ☀️ 📖 ☀️ 📖 ☀️ 📖 #AlltheBooksJun23 #MyFictionalMusings #CourtofReadingJun23 #ReadingintheWeb ☀️ 📖 ☀️ 📖 ☀️ 📖 #veschwab #adarkershadeofmagic #currentlyreading #amreading #reading #books #fantasybooks #bookstagram #booknerd #bibliophile #booksbooksbooks #bookstack #booklover #readmorebooks #booksofinstagram #shelfie #bookshelf #cozyreading #mondayvibes #readingtime #booksarelife #bookaesthetic #tbr #summerreading #bookcommunity #booksaremagic — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/95G7mCP

Characters that I know in my heart and soul were speech and or debate kids
Dr Edmund Harley: speech and debate however mostly speech and only did debate bc he liked the teacher
Arcade Gannon: debate only probably went to nationals at least once
Holland adarkershadeofmagic: speech but he was really snobby about it
Dr iceberg: speech and did jokey pieces like dramatic readings of childrens books
Peebee masseffectandromeda: debate definitely went to regionals at least
Liam masseffect: speech definitely
Dorian Pavus: speech and debate
Morrigan: debate
Anders dragonage: speech and would do very heartfelt poetry pieces
Varric tethras: speech
