GORGEOUS! 💕#Repost @writercharley ・・・ Welcome to Door County, my childhood vacation destination. The past few years I have come to love books set in Wisconsin where they weren't cheesy or set on farms. HELLO? is one of those books. @lizamwiemer does a beautiful job of representing the peninsula as well as the people living there. I would 10/10 recommend. What's your favorite book representing your state/country? 🔥🔥🔥 [National Lighthouse Day] #wishfulwonder [#mapmonday] #frenchiefantasyaugust [International Forgiveness Day] #ReadGushAug17 🔥🔥🔥 #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #books #bookblogger #bookblog #book #booklover #bookdragon #readerlife #bookworm #bookaddict #bookish #bibliophile #yalover #yalit #bookstagrammersunite #bookstagramfeature #bookishglee #IReadYA #totalbooknerd #fortheloveofbooks #hello #doorcounty #wisconsin

12 Aug 2017. What book series have you started and never finished? #TowerOfDawn is coming out next month and I still haven't read #EmpireOfStorms because I just have zero motivation to pick it up and continue the #ThroneOfGlass series. I think I stopped liking any of the characters, and since I’m such a character-driven person that makes it really difficult for me to engage. This divine #Fireheart candle is from @Kozy.Korner and it was included in a box from @TheYAChronicles. You can get a discount on any subscription or past box with the code CAA10!

🌟📖🌟 Photo Challenge🌟📖🌟 August is literally just days away... and that means it's time to share the new photo challenge... #ReadGushAug17 . I'm a little too excited about this one, because we are doing a whole week of color themed again, but each day there is a prompt to give a shout out to a different bookstagrammer. We love how much of a community this group is, and loving seeing who you all want to give a little extra love to. So I hope you'll join in, especially for that week... the colors are on the image, but the detail prompts are on my website- which you can always get to through the link in my profile. . And of course we have a few games on the schedule, and a couple of folding prompts made their way back too! . Please be kind and give some love to my lovely co-hosts, @Alice_in_her_bookland @tall_telle_tells_tales and @wonderland_holds_my_heart this month has been very busy, but we have all loved seeing your picture, and your interpretations of the prompts. . Let us know if you are going to join in, even just for a couple of days! And feel free to share this with your friends, we love meeting new book lovers! . . . . . . . . . #bookstagram #instaread #instabook #bookish #bookworm #booknerd #booklover #bookmaniac #bookobsessed #bookaddict #bibliophile #yalit #igreads #bookstagramfeature #bookblogger #AugustPhotoChallenge #Bookphotochallenge #bookstagramchallenge

"I've never had anything to lose before, and that is terrifying." ~ Olivia Wildenstien, Rowan Wood Legends . 📖📚📖 . I am so excited to dive into Rowan Wood Legends... I stumbled across The Lost Clan series last year and quickly became a fan of Olivia's writing style so to have a chance to read the second book now is so exciting... and since it's Lazy Day with #readgushaug17 I'm going to read (and go to the library) and nothing else!!!! . 📖📚📖 . Most expensive "no matter what they say, Its all about the money." #bookreadhappyhour so I'm cheating a bit... but my kindle is my most expensive book... I mean the books on it were all inexpensive but I have about 200 ebooks and the kindle... so... 🙈 . Plot twists #justmybookbloggerlifeaugust book boyfriend... #fanaticalbirdaugust so the love interest in this is great but I can't say too much because it's part of the twist... but seriously people who like Faerie-tales and lore need to pick these up... and then gush with me!!!! . What newer/lesser known author do you just adore??? . . And thank you @olives21 for the chance to read these a tiny bit early... so much love for your writing . . . . #Bookstagram #becauseofreading #booksactually #currentlyreading #amreading #beautifulbooks #goodbook #reviewbook #mybooks #goodreads #evilalgorithm #bibliophile #yalit #igreads #bookstagramfeature #bookblogger #newbook #rowanwoodlegends #thelostclan

‪1 Aug 2017.. What book do you keep intending to read but never get around to?‬ ‪ ‬ ‪For me, it’s #Outlander/#CrossStitch. This book has appeared on my TBR so many times and I keep putting it off because… oh, who bloody knows. I’m too slow. I’m not in the mood. I’m distracted by something shiny.‬ ‪ ‬ ‪But I AM reading this fricking book this month because I’ll be visiting a few Outlander locations on my trip to the UK at the end of the month! #MyLadyJane and #Everland make the list for the same reason, and #TakeThreeGirls is a review copy I’m really excited about.‬ ‪ ‬ ‪TAGS:‬ ‪#nextread, #excitedtbr. Thanks, @ly_brary!‬ ‪ ‬ ‪Day 1:‬ ‪#QuothTheAugustBookChallenge, #GrimDragon, #FanaticalBirdAugust, #AllTheBooksAugust, #FrenchieFantasyAugust, #WatermelanerdsAugust, #ReadGushAug17, #BookcaseChallenge: August TBR . . . . . . #bookmark #bookmarks #bookworm #booknerdigans #beautifulbooks #bookphoto #instaread #bookish #bookphotography #bookishfeatures #bookstagramfeature #tbr‬

“Once upon a time, there was a man as great as the gods… But even the great can tremble with fear. Even the great can fall” ― Mary E. Pearson, The Kiss of Deception . . I surprised myself with all books I read this month... did you have a good month of reading? . 🎧 (audio) Reached by Ally Condie ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🎧 The Heart of Betrayal by Mary Pearson ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🎧 Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 📖 City of Bones by Cassandra Clare ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 📖 Rowan Wood Legends by Olivia Wildenstein ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🎧 Three Dark Crowns Kendare Blake ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 📖 The Waking Land by Callie Bates ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🎧 The Beauty of Darkness by Mary Pearson ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 📖 Mask of Shadows by Linsey Miller ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 📖 By Your Side by Kasie West ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ . Which makes for a whopping 10 books read in August - and I think it has to do with that read-a-thon I did early in the month... I must consider doing those more often... . .

“Sometimes you think you want something,” Arin told him, “when in reality you need to let it go.” ― Marie Rutkoski, The Winner's Crime . . Oh the wisdom in this quote... how often have you held on so tight to something, and in reality, it needed to be let go of? Like when we hold sand and the tighter our fist the quicker the sand leaks out... What is a little bit of wisdom a character from a book has reminded you of? . . Wonder Woman Release day - fantasy books #ReadGushAug17 Since I'm refusing to buy a new book while I still have some to read (and I'll be buying Tower of Dawn....) I figured I'd feature one of my favorite fantasy series that features a seriously surprising strong woman. . Books & Music #bookreadhappyhour I just love Kestrel and the music in these stories - have you read it??? do you play an instrument? I play the paino, and the scenes where Kestrel is sitting at the piano in that one room near the end of the series reminds me of the lesson room I practiced in as preteen - it was in this 150 year old mansion and all the rooms we practiced in used to be the bedrooms... I could see that room in that book perfectly...

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ― Muhammad Ali . I have been a superhero kind of girl for as long as I can remember... the bonus of having a father who stay home during the days with me before I was old enough for school. Along with My Little Ponies we played superheroes and read comic books... so give me a new comic hero movie or story any day... . Superheroes #readgushaug17 do you have a favorite superhero... .

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.” ― William Faulkner . . I've got full day... and I want to find a way to squeeze By Your Side... and write a bit... but you know I'll be around... so let's talk current favorite books... what was the last book you just loved... . We are wrapping up our week of colors and bookstagram shoutouts with Pink and feeds that are just too cute not to share with everyone.

"Control is an illusion. Expectations will not rule my days." ~ Renee Ahdieh, Flame in the Mist . . To say I am excited it is Friday is an understatement... the first week of school takes as much energy for mamas, as it does for kiddos... we are ready for a little break... at least for one evening... .

“If a kiss could be seen I think it would look like a violet,' said Priscilla. Anne glowed. 'I'm so glad you spoke that thought, Priscilla, instead of just thinking it and keeping it to yourself.
