“‘How do you fight against a mountain?

📚 Book Spotlight: Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier YA historical fantasy, Twelve Dancing Princesses retelling. Recommended by @eternaldelciacy Twelve Dancing Princess retellings aren’t something you see often, and this one is a good one 💃 I’ve read and loved it too (and am overdue for a reread honestly). Chiara reminded me how magical and dark this story is, with the mysterious fae, slow burn romances, and sibling relationships. The companion/ sequel, Cybele’s Secret, is also fantastic 👌 My Book Spotlight feature is all about promoting underrated books and upcoming/ new releases. Have a book that you think deserves more attention?

QOTD: What's the biggest book you've read this year? Mine is easily House of Earth and Blood. I've mostly read romance/ historical reads this year which are usually shorter books. Also featured in this photo is one of my bookmark designs! Swipe for a close up. If you missed my post a few days ago, I started making bookmarks for fun and thought I'd see if anyone wanted me to sell them. If you're keen check out the first link in my linktree (in my bio) for more details. //CHALLENGES// #MidsummerLibraryNov20 - Magnus Bane: Style you’d steal (I'd love to have the confidence to dress more like Bryce or even just Danika haha) #RFABNov20 - Fanart Friday #EnchantedBookChallenge - Once Upon a Time: Books that hooked you from the start #WildAdventuresNov20 - Amelie Wen Zhao: Blew you away #WriteABookNov20 - Character descriptions: #FanartFriday #AmpersandNov20 - #BookQuotes #enchantedbookshelf & #bluefairytales_: Autumn //HASHTAGS// #HouseofEarthandBlood #SJM #sarahjmaas #bookmark #bookmars #lightitup #bookquite #crescentcity #brycequinlan #newadult #newadultfantasy #bookishmerch #bibliophile #ausyabloggers #ausbookishfeatures https://www.instagram.com/p/CIFwsW8ASf2/?igshid=2czfqy8iz9h8

“A strange imprisonment... Beauty has never liked her nickname. She is thin and awkward; it is her two sisters who are the beautiful ones. But what she lacks in looks, she can perhaps make up for in courage. When her father comes home with the tale of an enchanted castle in the forest and the terrible promise he had to make to the Beast who lives there, Beauty knows she must go to the castle, a prisoner of her own free will. Her father protests that he will not let her go, but she answers, "Cannot a Beast be tamed?" Robin McKinley's beloved telling illuminates the unusual love story of a most unlikely couple, Beauty and the Beast.” - Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast by Robin McKinley . . . Hello, gorgeous book! This was gifted to me by my brother and his wonderful girlfriend for my birthday (which is tomorrow)! Such a wonderful gift! . . .

“I had received an answer to the question that Holmes had put to me. Now all I needed to know was why I had asked it.” ― Anthony Horowitz, The House of Silk . . . . I picked up House of Silk at my local bookstore Walls of Books, about 6 months ago. I had looked at it eery time I had gone in there, and finally decided it was time to purchase it one day! I haven’t read this yet, because my TBR list is ginormous, but I may finally get to it next year. I’m very grateful for local/used bookstores and I hope they never go away! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #readgushnov20 Give thanks to favorite small shops #smallbusinesssaturday #enchantedbookchallenge Stroke Of Midnight - hyped book you did not like #bookstababesnov20 Always better together - fave duology #rfabnov20 Shelfie #readathinphotonov20 flowers #ampersandnov20 #stacksaturday https://www.instagram.com/p/CILptxcgE3B/?igshid=17htl5wbz5rce

“In 1875, Sisi, the Empress of Austria is the woman that every man desires and every woman envies. Beautiful, athletic and intelligent, Sisi has everything - except happiness. Bored with the stultifying etiquette of the Hapsburg Court and her dutiful but unexciting husband, Franz Joseph, Sisi comes to England to hunt. She comes looking for excitement and she finds it in the dashing form of Captain Bay Middleton, the only man in Europe who can outride her. Ten years younger than her and engaged to the rich and devoted Charlotte, Bay has everything to lose by falling for a woman who can never be his. But Bay and the Empress are as reckless as each other, and their mutual attraction is a force that cannot be denied. Full of passion and drama, THE FORTUNE HUNTER tells the true story of a nineteenth century Queen of Hearts and a cavalry captain, and the struggle between love and duty.” - The Fortune Hunter by Daisy Goodwin . . (Sorry to anyone who hates dolls! I just couldn’t imagine showing these books without including Samantha herself. I brought her out of a bin and hugged her so close, it legitimately brought me comfort. Sometimes you just need to revisit a happier time in your life, perhaps even your childhood, to make your heart feel a little fuller.) . . . . . . . . . . #readgushnov20 Favorite Books from when you were younger #enchantedbookchallenge Candlelight - steamy romance #bookstababesnov20 Flannel - comfort characters #rfabnov20 cover buy #readathinphotonov20 retelling #ampersandnov20 J is for...

“We hate the Empire’s cruelty and violence. How can we claim to be morally superior when we stoop to violence ourselves?” Mon Mothma answered him. “There comes a time when refusing to stop violence can no longer be called nonviolence. We cease to be objectors and become bystanders. At some point, morality must be wedded to action, or else it’s no more than mere…vanity.” ― Claudia Gray, Leia, Princess of Alderaan . . . . . . . . . . . . #readgushnov20 #socksunday #enchantedbookchallenge Ever After - Cinderella retellings #bookstababesnov20 Warm Stockings - #socksunday #rfabnov20 Person on Cover #readathinphotonov20 gifted #ampersandnov20 H is for... happily every after https://www.instagram.com/p/CHVw1S7ACLB/?igshid=1sdtvovv4z7h4
