✨ Hello everyone!✨ Since Six of Crows blew up, we've all been looking for the next fantasy heist story that will capture our hearts like Leigh Bardugo did, but there's nothing quite like her particular brand of emotions and action. And yet, There are many, many more amazing heist stories out there, not necessarily fantasy, that give you all the elements you love. A ragtag bunch coming together, lots of banter, action and scheming that inevitably goes wrong. I highly recommend checking these out, because some of them are seriously underrated and deserve more hype. QOTD- Who your new favorite author? AOTD- Recently I've just fallen in love with a lot of author's writing. Top of the list being Fredrick Backman and A. L. Grazidei. #bookstagram #bookstagrammers #bookstagrammersofindia #booksbooksbooks #booklist #bookblogger #booksonbooks #booklover #yabooks #reading #reader #books #bookrecs #fantasybooks #adultfantasy #bookbloggers #pocbookstagrammer #yafantasy #gildedwolves #soc #kazbrekker #newreleases #asianrep #diversebooks #heistsociety #mistborn #aceswild #queerep #kanej ​ https://www.instagram.com/p/CfEW6bAr_QF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

✨ Hello everyone!✨ Today I'm thrilled to be sharing this amazing book that I read recently with you all, for a book tour with @tbrbeyondtours. Hell Followed With Us by @ajwhiteauthor is a brilliant YA novel about freedom, rage and vengeance. It's a genre-bending story with elements of horror and dystopia. It is set in a world ruled by a theocracy where there are monsters created by a plague that wiped out half of the world. It's amazing. It's visceral and such a moving story. I had the most physical relations to the things described and the emotions are raw and filled with fury. It has made its place as one of my favorites this year and I'm going to talking about it a lot from now on, so heads up. Also a great book to read for Pride month if you're looking for YA horror or dystopia. Our main characters is trans, and one of the other most important characters is autistic.

✨ Hello everyone!✨ I know it's not February, but it's never the wrong time to read romance books, right? Today I'm sharing with of some of the romance novels that I adored that have an achingly slow-burn love story that make the pay-off in the end so much sweeter. Coming up right in the next slides for you, books with tons of tension and silent pining! I'm currently reading The Dragon Republic by R.F. Kuang and almost done with Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. And I'm sure about you, but one of those two seriously puts you in need of happy romance books to stay balanced lmao. QOTD- What's a kind of romance trope you don't like? #bookstagram #bookstagrammers #bookstagrammersofindia #booksbooksbooks #booklist #bookblogger #booksonbooks #booklover #yabooks #reading #reader #books #bookrecs #fantasybooks #adultfantasy #bookbloggers #pocbookstagrammer #romancebooks #chloeliese #marianazapata #flwl #wallofwinniowgandme #slowburnromance #queerromamce https://www.instagram.com/p/Cef8ieFgxuf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

✨ Hello everyone!✨ A lot of the times, an author has multiple books in their backlist but that one book, sometimes their debut or sometimes just any one book among the many that shoot them into huge popularity. But frequently, it's only that one book that's well-known and I am the kind of fan who is always more in love with that author's other book rather than the most popular one. If you see one of your favorite authors in this list, definitely stay on to check on what more amazing gems are hidden in their backlist that you need to check out! QOTD- What's a book by a popular author that deserves more hype? AOTD- Can everyone just STOP with Addie LaRue for a minute and LOOK AT Monster of Verity?? #bookstagram #bookstagrammers #bookstagrammersofindia #booksbooksbooks #booklist #bookblogger #booksonbooks #booklover #yabooks #reading #reader #books #bookrecs #fantasybooks #adultfantasy #bookbloggers #pocbookstagrammer #addielarie #cursebreakers #victoriaschwab #simonsnow #snowbaz #adsom #yafantasy #wewereliars #tbdate https://www.instagram.com/p/CeQjs8WLhfa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

✨ Hello everyone!✨ Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating! It's been such a great day with family today. (Haven't gotten my Eidi yet, but I've heard that patience is a virtue). Today I'm thrilled to be sharing with you all my Read Harder Challenge TBR for this year. The #ReadHarder Challenge is an annual reading challenge hosted by @BookRiot every year. We get 24 prompts that we have to complete, and it motivates you to expand and diversify your reading choices and step out of your comfort zone. The prompts are so interesting this time, and there are so many books that I wouldn't have discovered, let alone read, if not for these prompts. I have already completed a few, and i will be updating my reviews for those later this month. This is a really fun challenge, and i encourage anyone who's interested in broadening their reading tastes, or just read more purposefully- to try out this challenge. More information can be found on Book Riot's website. QOTD- What's a genre/topic you would like to read more of? #bookstagram #bookstagrammers #bookstagrammersofindia #booksbooksbooks #booklist #bookblogger #booksonbooks #booklover #yabooks #reading #reader #books #bookrecs #fantasybooks #adultfantasy #bookbloggers #pocbookstagrammer #evelynhugo #diversebooks #redpalace #readingchallenge #ReadHarder2022 #thestationaryshop #themagicfish #translatedbooks #graphicnovel #elifshafak ​ https://www.instagram.com/p/CdGWcT3PGMi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

✨ Hello everyone!✨ The weather has been amazing where I live these last few days. Summer is almost here but it's still cool. In the spirit of that, and for people who like to plan ahead, I'm sharing my Spring TBR. Most of them are new Reese's, but a few are backlist books as well and I'm so excited to get to all of these. Hopefully I can read all of them. I have *big* exams so I'm not too sure, but I'll try.

* Warning #Spoilers #BookReview * Confessions of a Curious Bookseller by Elizabeth Green I wanted to like this book more than I did. A book set in a quirky used bookstore. Yes please. 🐈 However I think there were a few things the book never could quite recover from: 1. Fawn is deeply unlikable. I thought she was gonna be like Eleanor Oliphant but there was no deep past trauma to explain Fawn. She didn't have an easy childhood but nothing so much to explain her constant lies and narcissism. She sells her tenant's furniture! Fawn is just not a good person. 2. The side characters weren't even enjoyable or interesting. I wanted to like her employees but they all had a feeling of twenty-somethings vaguely entertaining their kooky cat lady boss. 3. The unbelievable ending. At no point does Fawn face any consequences for her bad behavior besides embarrassment. The sinkhole magically swallowed the competition allowing her to sell her store to Mark. Ugh just the worst. 🐈 The only good thing is this book knocks off two of my reading prompts for various challenges this year. Otherwise it was just an act in futility finishing it. 2/5 #PrimeReadingFreebie #SoGladIDidntPayForThis #epistolarynovel #BookSetInABookstore #BookRiotReadHarder2022 #MRDRC22 #WompWompEnding #KindleBook #nerdymamabooks #DiverseBookstagrammersRead #POCBookstagrammer #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CbAiTX8r--i/?utm_medium=tumblr

Yall know I love a #MythologyRetelling and to be honest Persephone/Hades retelling are some of my faves. I finished both of these this week. 🖤 Lore Olympus is a beautiful webtoon. I loved having the first 25 episodes in one volume. The artwork is amazing and it tackles things like anxiety, depression, and sexual assault in a healthy and upfront way. Hades and Persephone are both so adorably awkward I love them both. 5/5 🖤 Neon Gods is a modern Hades/Persephone retelling. Olympus is a city ruled by the Thirteen powerful positions that control every aspect of the city. Persephone escapes to the lower city ruled by Hades and quickly becomes enamored with him. This book is steamy, and I loved the emphasis on consent and open healthy conversations about what they wanted/needed from each other. I loved that Hermes is a woman and I can't wait to see more of her in future books. 4.5/5 #romance #graphicnovel #mythology #NeonGods #LoreOlympus #Hades #Persephone #underworld #DiverseBookstagrammersRead #POCbookstagrammer #guiltypleasure #MRDRC22 #nerdymamabooks #booknerd #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca5Ja4lr-6m/?utm_medium=tumblr

Seriously tho yall. You should check out these graphic novels. It's not just the story but the articles included afterwards in #BitterThoughts are punch you in the gut inciteful.

After a bunch of just okay books this is what i needed. This book is a hilarious accounting of daily doses of racism that Black women have to deal with. Sometimes, you have to laugh about it to keep from crying. I listened to the audiobook and it was AMAZING 10/10 RECOMMEND because listening to Amber sing the song she uses to wake up her dad from a nap was hilarious, among other things. Did I also get the Kindle book from the Libby app, so I could see the photos they were describing? Yes, yes I did. The anecdotes are sometimes horrifying because let's face it racism is awful. Amber and Lacey call out racism whether it be seemingly benign ignorance or screaming vitriol and they'll have you giggling while you examine the ridiculousness that is racism. 5/5 #BookReview #FiveStarRead #BooksAboutRacism #Humor #YoullNeverBelieveWhatHappenedToLacey #EraseRacism #BlackLivesMatter #20BooksByBlackWomen #audiobook #kindlebook #LibbyApp #nerdymama #nerdybooks #BlackWomenAuthors #blackgirlsreadbookstoo #POCBookstagrammer #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CY12UdML2qb/?utm_medium=tumblr

Picked this one up for @booksinthefreezer reading challenge. Serial Killers count as spooky right. Cause some of the things talked about in this book... *shudder* Honestly if Marcus Parks had written this book alone it probably would've been a 3.5/4 star book for me. The true crime/serial killer info and delivery is solid. Where this book loses it is in the "comedic asides" by Ben & Henry, which are more of the cringey white dude crude humor of trying too hard. I don't listen to the podcast but the audiobook definitely has a "podcast feel". I appreciated the facts but started dreading the end of chapter "letters" which involved an attempt at levity which always felt flat or was sometimes just icky. When I started the book I followed the podcast on Spotify so I could listen to some episodes later but the further I got into the book the less I enjoyed it. I ultimately unfollowed the podcast without listening to any episodes cause with the plethora of true crime/serial killer podcasts out there why waste my time on Last Podcast on the Left if it's like the book. I used to love My Favorite Murder podcast but the book Stay Sexy & Don't Get Murdered was like pulling teeth to get thru and The Last Book on The Left was the same way. Much better serial killer/true crime books out there to try other than this one. 2/5 #booksinthefreezerreadingchallenge2022 #SpookyNonFiction #MRDRC22 #ABookCoverYouDontLike #oneBookMultipleChallenges #SerialKillers #TrueCrime #nerdymama #nerdybooks #booknerd #POCBookstagrammer #LibbyApp #audiobook #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/nerdymamabooks/p/CYnat0wgVlU/?utm_medium=tumblr
