πΊBlack and White StackπΊ QOTD: If you owned a bookshop, what would you call it? I can't wait to see what you guys say! I took this photo YEARS ago. Back from my booklr days. This stack speaks to me though. I still need to finish Heartless. I started it maybe 2 months ago now, and it's still not done. I really want to reread the top 3 books though because I remember thoroughly enjoying them. Have you read any of these? πΊ |Tags| #bwstack #blackandwhite #bookstack #blackandwhitestack #yastack #yabooks #bookishlove #Tarnished #KateJarvikBirch #booklion #Reboot #AmyTintera #booksta #yadystopian #yaretelling #TheLiesAboutTruth #CourtneyCStevens #Heartless #MarissaMeyer #yacontemporarybooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CEww60zAeD-/?igshid=pk2bryw0ycbd

π¬π§Books you know youβre going to relate to by just looking at the cover. Example A: Hot Dog Girl, by Jennifer Duganπ Just from the blurb, I KNOW Iβm going to connect with this book, and I canβt wait for it to happen.. . . Which book did you connect with immediately after looking at the cover, reading the title, the synopsis, or reading the first chapter? . . #hotdoggirl #jenniferdugan #yabooks #yabookstagram #yacontemporary #yacontemporarybooks #bookstagramsofportugal #bookstagramportugal #amadalenadivaga #booklover #bookstagrammer #bookaddict #bookcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/COXXRF_L5_9/?igshid=lrxwja1wvegx

I'm so honored the incredibly talented @jessieannfoley thought that RENT A BOYFRIEND "captures perfectly the giddy sense of inevitability that happens to people when they realize they are meant for one another"! β¨ Please check out her fall 2020 release, YOU KNOW I'M NO GOOD, as well as her other award winning books! . . . . . #blurb #blurbbooks #writergram #authorgram #authorsofig #RentaBoyfriend #followyourpath #funnybook #writersofig #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #yacontemporary #yaromcom #romcom #romancenovel #yalit #yacontemporarybooks #yaromancenovels #fakedating #romcom https://www.instagram.com/p/CIBPp7kgcRV/?igshid=ni7fhivc26ht

Passed the 40k mark on this first draft this morning! Itβs a total mess so far but they are words on the page! . It used to be that I could never fast draft. My Type A personality had me going back and revising and polishing every chapter. Now, Iβm just plugging ahead to get the words out of my head and onto the page. . Itβs strange how over time your writing process changes and evolves. Just like your life, youβre constantly learning and changing which is a very good thing!𧑠. . . #amwritingya #amwriting #writingcraft #firstdraft #writingcommunity #writersoninstagram #writelife #writerlife #yacontemporary #yacontemporarybooks #yacontemporaryromance https://www.instagram.com/p/CGpqDv2gzvo/?igshid=nv91z7d02zw5

Always grateful when my kids recommend books to me. Starting @jenmariewilde βs THE BRIGHTSIDERS today. A certain kid said it would be the perfect contemporary story for my mood. - π. And look at how cute the book looks with my pouch, a bookish tea infuser and adorable Starbucks Australia mug? @emmalyg, totally thinking of you and your kind soul today. I think when @starbucks designed these mugs they had memories of friendships in mind. Somehow, the miles, oceans and continents fade, and itβs as if I am sitting down with Emm for a cup oβ tea/coffee and convo. β₯οΈ - π. π. π. #booksandtea #booktuber #bookish #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #thebrightsiders #jenwilde #swoonreads #yacontemporary #yacontemporarybooks #booklr #currentlyreading #currentread #igbooks #igreads #friendship https://www.instagram.com/sophieriggsby/p/BsdqzONHCB6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fdvw3g98rqhk

Been a while since I shared something for #1linewed. This is from my current WIP that tackles double standards, misogyny, and βcode of conductβ rules in high school that always favor one sex over the other. Itβs angry, real, and the words are just pouring out of me. π . . . #yaWIP #amwritingya #yacontemporary #yacontemporarybooks #yareads #yawriter #yawritersofinstagram #yawritersofig #yaauthor #yaauthorsofinstagram #igauthor #igauthorlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CDzIpGOA-Z8/?igshid=xstn860mvie

Today is my stop on the blog tour for You Can Go Your Own Way by Eric Smith - a YA contemporary story about coming out of grief and living life again - rekindling relationships that fell victim to the feelings being dealt with and finding your path in life. . Smith's ability to create relatable characters that walk right off the page and into your heart is what makes this story unique and a 5-star read for me. (full review and excerpt on my blog - link in bio) . Today is publication day for many books. Is there anything coming out this fall that you are particularly excited about? . Nora Robertsβ book 2 in her latest fantasy series (The Awakening / The Becoming) is coming out next month. I haven't had a chance to read book one yet, but I'm still excited for book 2. . . . . #youcangoyourownway #ericsmith #htpbooks #inkyardpress #blogtour #netgalley #netgalleyreads #ya #youngadultbooks #youngadultfiction #youngadult #yacontemporary #yacontemporarybooks #yacontemporaryromance #contemporaryfiction #bookreview #bookreviews #bookreviewblog #bookreviewblogger #bookreviewsofinstagram #bookrecommendations #bookstagram #bookblogger #bookbloggersofinstagram #bookbloggerlife #bookdragons #bookdragon #fallvibes #heartwarming #bookblog (at Lake Davidson) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVfhSljLXRo/?utm_medium=tumblr
