I thought the Frankenstein tiki mug was the highlight of my day. I cannot believe I have an ARC of one of my most anticipated reads this year. (And yes I'm still excited for my pre-order.) Now that I remember how to breathe, I have some reading to do... #ARC #AdvanceReaderCopy #TBR #ToBeRead #ToBeReadAgain #TheAdventuresOfAminaAlSirafi #Frankenstein #FrankieStein https://www.instagram.com/p/CpEpUcXLdxW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Y'all, July cannot come soon enough. I love character driven story telling and @saraflannerymurphy writes these characters so well I almost broke my kindle about 2/3 of the way through because I wanted to slap *someone*. (Though, if I almost break my kindle or throw the physical book I knoooooow it's gonna be a good book.) Add to that a setting that seems haunting and familiar and otherworldly, Wonder State is going to be one of the best books releasing this year. Side note, this book has given me one of my all time new favorite quotes and I am tattoo levels of obsessed with it. A huge thank you to both Sara and @netgalley for the #ARC!!! #Reader #Reading #TBR #ToBeReadAgain #TheWonderState #EternalSprings #AdvanceReaderCopy #BookReview #MCDxFSG https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn8mERMuS4u/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Got my @bookshop_org order today! (So glad they didn't get ruined by the rain!) 📖 Baba Yaga Laid an Egg by Dubrakava Ugrešić. This book has been on my TBR for ages! 📖 The Heroine With 1,001 Faces by Maria Tatar. Did I read this last year? Yes. But I can't annotate an audiobook lol. 📖 Extasia by Claire Legrand. Not gonna lie, this one just sounded cool. #Reader #ToBeRead #ToBeReadAgain #Booklover https://www.instagram.com/p/CnDwS1mL6O-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Every year, a million times a year, I want to be the type of reader that has a cute reading journal spread full of my thoughts and stats. I never use the reading journals I get. I never make my own cute layouts. (Even though I've seen some CUTE ones on Etsy this week.) My reads and stats always live on a page in my planner and on my Goodreads. #ToBeRead #ToBeReadAgain #Reader #Reading #ReadingTracker #ReadingStats #ReadingChallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm__pSCJoYb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New month means new @audible credit. New credit means new Vampires. I know nothing going into this one beyond Vampires written by one of my favorite authors, @rinchupeco Here for this. (For those counting I'm reading 4? 4 books right now.) #Reading #Audible #AudioBooks #AudioBooksCountAsReading #ToBeReadAgain #ToBeRead #GRReadingChallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm7ropvPpwW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Wow! If I had a nickel for every time I was lucky enough to win an Advanced Reader Copy of a book about the women surrounding Frankenstein this year, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right? Weird or not I am thrilled to spend my Halloween weekend reading Her Lost Words, a Novel of Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley by @stephaniemariethornton This gem arrives in the world March 2023 (Also go pick up Unnatural Creatures by @kriswaldherr which is out now!!) #Frankenstein #HerLostWords #Novels #Reader #Booklover #ToBeRead #ToBeReadAgain #ReadingMonsters https://www.instagram.com/p/CkPTUlspDv3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
