Wrap-Up

Bookstagram monthly update (June 2018)

Lucille

What prompted me to start this kind of monthly post? First it’s book related so it’s relevant, second my mom follows my blog but doesn’t have instagram and asked for it, third people on twitter seemed okay with it as well. So here goes! 😀

1) Posted this one at the end of May but it’s my birthday stack and I love it a lot ❤

Here are my birthday books from my parents and my sister! My birthday was early May but since I was in London and told them too late what I wanted I got them this week when I came back home 😊 . I'm super happy with this stack, I had already read half of them but didn't have a physical copy and can't wait to start the others 😍💙 . Also our dog Daska and her bear are photobombing this on the background 😂💛💛 . . #instabook #bookphotography #booklover #booknerd #bookdragon #bookworm #booklr #bookhoarder #bookbookbook #bookish #igreads #soyouwanttobearobot #mostlyvoidpartiallystars #whenthemoonwasours #aclosedandcommonorbit #thelambwillslaughterthelion #thebarrowwillsendwhatitmay #ancillarymercy #anaccidentofstars

2) You can see this is an old picture because I was still wearing my winter coat! It was also taken with my old phone that I don’t have anymore since March

☀ Un roman emprunté à la bibliothèque que je n'ai pas fini. Les idées y étaient, ainsi qu'une atmosphère uchronique très sympa, mais mon prêt arrivant à échéance et n'étant pas d'humeur pour un style un peu lent et une majorité de personnages qui ne m'ont pas intrigués tant que ça, je n'ai pas cherché à persévérer. MAIS je pense que je retenterais le coup un jour prochain, cela devait être un cas de mauvais timing! . Encore un coup de coeur couverture pour un livre des Moutons Électriques, bien que je sache qu'il est rare que j'accroche à leur catalogue 😅🙈 pour ça, heuresement qu'il y a la bibliothèque pour faire des essais! . . #bookstagram #instabook #becauseofreading #bookphotography #bookdragon #booklr #bookhoarder #bookish #igbooks #bookbookbook #lecture #livrestagram #instalecture #instalivre #passionlecture #espererlesoleil

3) Gorgeous cover for an equally gorgeous and violent book 

4) Didn’t read this one in full but will get back to it someday, loved the fun way to speak about science and space!

Je suis en train de feuilleter ce sympathique petit livre de vulgarisation scientifique! Je dois le ramener demain à la bibliothèque donc pas de lecture complète, mais c'est vraiment un livre qui donne envie d'en avoir un exemplaire à la maison.💜 Plein de fun facts, d'explications claires à portée d'à peu près tout le monde (okay parfois je suis un peu perdue, faut dire que j'ai pas "fait" de sciences depuis longtemps) et d'un design intérieur avec de jolis encarts et dessins dans les teintes bleu/noir 🖤💙 . J'avais adoré sa bd MARS HORIZON et je guette maintenant son autre livre L'ESPACE SANS GRAVITÉ, que j'espère aussi trouver à la bibliothèque et cette fois ci ne pas me planter dans la date de rendu 🙈 . . #instabook #bookphotography #booklover #bookworm #booklr #bookbookbook #bookish #igreads #bookstagram #lecture #livrestagram #instalecture #instalivre #passionlecture #florenceporcel #lafollehistoiredusystemesolaire #dunod #vulgarisation #systèmesolaire

5) Short story with robots and dinosaurs ❤

"The android's prehistoric menagerie" is the fourth story in SO YOU WANT TO BE A ROBOT by A. Merc Rustad! So far it's been my favourite mainly because of the presence of a robot and dinosaurs, I'm not that hard to please 😁 . I love how this short fiction collection uses artificial intelligence, science fiction, space opera, fantasy tropes (portal fantasy for the first story!) with QUILTBAG characters 💛 I love how hopeful most of the stories I read already were, always ending on an heart warming note. I'm just a little more than halfway through, and diving back in as soon as I'm posting this here 😉✨ . . #instabook #bookphotography #booklover #booknerd #bookdragon #bookworm #booklr #bookhoarder #bookbookbook #bookish #igreads #bookstagram #soyouwanttobearobot #amercrustad #lethepress #speculativefiction #diversebook

6) Amazing end to the trilogy ❤

View this post on Instagram

REVENANT GUN came out yesterday!! Third book in the Machineries of Empire trilogy by Yoon Ha Lee, this was a m a z i n g from start to finish 💥💙💥 . My review is up on the blog, as well as links for the reviews of the first and second book at the beginning of it if you're curious! . Throughout the trilogy I became less confused about the magical-mathematical worldbuilding and SO attached to the characters, I'm now dying to reread it all back to back 😍✨ . There were some themes that made me think of the Imperial Radch trilogy and The Murderbot Diaries, two of my favourites series 💛💛💛 . . #instabook #bookphotography #booklover #booknerd #bookdragon #bookworm #booklr #bookhoarder #bookbookbook #bookish #igreads #bookstagram #revenantgun #machineriesofempire #yoonhalee #solarisbooks #rebellionpublishing

7) Lovely inclusive portal fantasy and gorgeous book pouch I got for my birthday ❤

View this post on Instagram

I'm reading AN ACCIDENT OF STARS by Foz Meadows at the moment! I started it two days ago and I'm really liking it so far! I heard a lot about it on Twitter, and I'm starting to understand why! ⭐✨ . That gorgeous book pouch was sent to me by @apriljanerowan for my birthday 😍😍 it was made by her own mom!! It's so beautiful, I'm using it everyday, it's perfect to hold my books and prevent them from getting damaged! The fabric has planets and dragons, just like my username! Such a thoughtful gift :')💛 . I also started playing Zelda Breath of the Wild today on the switch! It's such a nice relaxing game 😍🍃💙 . . #instabook #bookphotography #booklover #booknerd #bookdragon #bookworm #booklr #bookhoarder #bookbookbook #bookish #igreads #bookstagram #manifoldworlds #anaccidentofstars #fozmeadows #angryrobotbooks

8) Beautiful design, cover and interior, but not really to my taste for the content 😦

9) Favourites ❤ ❤

ALL SYSTEMS RED is amazing and as proof: it recently won the Nebula and Locus awards for best novella and was nominated for lots of others ❤✨ . ARTIFICIAL CONDITION came out recently and I think I loved it even more 💛💛💛 . The third instalment will come out this August and once again Martha Wells nails it (I was lucky to read an eARC!) and now I'm super excited for the last book in this amazing novella series, but I don't want it to end in October 😭💙 . Also I really hope ALL SYSTEMS RED will get a hardback release as well at some point so the whole series can match on the shelves ✨ . . #instabook #bookphotography #booklover #booknerd #bookdragon #bookworm #booklr #bookhoarder #bookbookbook #bookish #igreads #bookstagram #marthawells #themurderbotdiaries #allsystemsred #artificialcondition #tordotcompublishing #tordotcom #sciencefiction

10) When my favourite book of 2017 finally got a physical release !

11) A second (even third if the stack picture counts) picture of this short fiction collection! Funny story, a few people told me they first though my dog was… a cow!! HAHA! I guess the dark body and head on the grass could lead to this mistake! 

 

I posted so much this month! Having many pictures ready from a few months ago, sunny weather to go and take pictures whenever I felt like it and more free time definitely helped!

  1. I do love these roundup posts because they let me see what my fellow bloggers have been reading. They are also dangerous because inevitably my TBR grows every time I see an interesting book in their stack 😀

  4. My mom made an IG account so she could see the photos on my private account, but before that she would look at my bookstagram photos on the website, since you don’t need an account to do that. This is much easier!

    1. This is nice! 😀
      I think my mom prefers it on the blog since she gets an email when I post something while instagram just isn’t her thing at all haha!
