Wrap-Up

Bookstagram monthly update (july 2018)

Lucille

Here we go again! Not as many posts but still a fair amount, thanks again to a very sunny weather – meaning I’m also dying of heat heLP.

1) It had been a long time since I posted something not bookish on there!

2) Started the month with those two beasts! 700 and 900 pages!

I was supposed to read GOLDEN FOOL in June with the #PlentyofHobb readalong but I knew that I would end up reading it back to back with FOOL'S FATE so I waited and I read it in like 4 days!!! Didn't even have time to post a picture of it 🙈 And I'm now starting FOOL'S FATE! It's 914 pages when GF was 'only' 709 pages! . These books are so good and special to my heart, I can't even review them. I can't find fault to them and I know I'm just biased. I love the characters SO MUCH 😭💛 There would be much to discuss of course, the way Fitz deals with his issues, the way Thick is treated and even written, the pacing… Still, always 5/5 ⭐ Books that make me feel so many emotions and that have me so invested with everything are really rare. . . #bookstagram #instabook #bookstagrammer #bookphotography #becauseofreading #booklover #bookdragon #booklr #bookish #igreads #igbooks #bookbookbook #robinhobb #tawnymantrilogy #tawnyman #goldenfool #foolsfate #realmoftheelderlings #fantasy #hobbsessed

3) As I love the show and the library had these, I couldn’t pass on the chance to give them a chance!

I brought these books and a few others back to the library yesterday and came back with TEN MORE. I was only supposed to get a graphic novel that I had on hold… oops🙈 . My back and arms are killing me today because of it but at least I have lots to read for the month (as if I needed more! My tbr is *a problem* 📚📚📚) . These Adventure Time comics are really good, I was not impressed with the translation at first but I still managed to find them funny after I got used to it, especially some footnotes (though they were in light green and not always easy to read because of how old and used these books were.) . . #bookstagram #instabook #bookstagrammer #bookphotography #becauseofreading #booklover #bookdragon #booklr #bookish #igreads #igbooks #bookbookbook #adventuretime #comics #urbancomics

4) Borrowed from my sister!

5) Don’t know if I’ll ever color this one but glad I got a copy!

I have 200 pages left in my re-read of FOOL'S FATE and I'm going to try and finish it tonight! :') 💙 . Also thought I could show the colouring book I got a few days ago! It's based on the Farseer Trilogy, the Tawny Man Trilogy and the Fitz and the Fool trilogy!! I don't know if I'll ever dare to colour it but I'm still glad I got it for my Hobb collection 💛 . . #bookstagram #instabook #bookstagrammer #bookphotography #becauseofreading #booklover #bookdragon #booklr #bookish #igreads #igbooks #bookbookbook #robinhobb #tawnymantrilogy #tawnyman #foolsfate #realmoftheelderlings #fantasy #hobbsessed #PlentyofHobb #dabelbrothers #fitzandthefool #adultcoloringbook #coloringbook #fitzandthefoolcoloringbook

I was tagged by @eloise_brad to do the #rapidfirebooktag! . 🌿 Paperback or hardback: paperback 🌿 Book shopping in-store or online: I love to go in-store but I live in France so online 🌿 Trilogy or series: series 🌿 Weirdest thing you used as a bookmark: fruit bowl, I even posted a picture on twitter haha! I always reading while cooking and that leads me to grab the nearest thing to mark my page when time is up 🌿 Used books: yessss 🌿 Favourite genre: science fiction and fantasy 🌿 A book that has made you cry: Assassin's Quest, Fool's Errand, Assassin's Fate… I cry often while reading but Robin Hobb is queen of my feelings. Update: I was crying just now reading The Calculating Stars 🌿 Our world or fictional: FICTIONAL 🌿 Audiobooks: uh I can't seem to be able to concentrate with audio stuff only 😦 🌿 Borrow or buy: I don't know many people who read as much as I do near me, and while I go to the library often there rarely are books that I'm dying to read there. So buy most of the time 🌿 Character or story: characters . . #instabook #bookphotography #bookworm #bookhoarder #bookbookbook #bookish #igreads #bookstagram #themachineriesofempire #machineriesofempire #yoonhalee #ninefoxgambit #revenantgun #ravenstratagem #solarisbooks #rebellionpublishing

7) When I just can’t make a choice and start three books at the same time

Currently reading those three books and one ebook! ☀ . BORDERLINE was kindly sent to me by @helene.louise.readings when she got a duplicate! I'm finally starting it! It follows a diabled film director with BPD, her life is really difficult at the moment we find her but I like her a lot already. It's a fae book and while I haven't encountered any magic yet, it's still great!💛 . A CLOSED AND COMMON ORBIT is a re-read in preparation for the third book in the Wayfarers series out SOON! I love both Pepper and Sidra's pov so much 💙 . HARPY'S FLIGHT is a buddy-read, as a Robin Hobb fan I have a goal to read all of her work! I didn't love the first Lindholm book I read but I have good hopes for this one (except it uses the slur "g*psy" on the description at the back so erhhh😑) I've only read the first chapter and I'm intrigued! . HEROINE'S JOURNEY is a ebook so not pictured unfortunately (the cover is amazing!) but I loved the first two books so I'm hoping to love this one as well! 💜 . . #bookstagram #instabook #bookstagrammer #bookphotography #becauseofreading #bookdragon #booklr #bookish #igreads #igbooks #bookbookbook #sffbooks #arcadiaproject #borderline #mishellbaker #sagapress #aclosedandcommonorbit #wayfarers #beckychambers #harpysflight #windsingers #meganlindholm #harpervoyager

8) Loved the main character but otherwise it was not amazing or anything

🌻 Finished this one on Wednesday night! While it was a bit meh, I still had all the emotions for Ki (the main character.) Lindholm/Hobb is really the best writer (in my opinion) when writing about grief and all kind of strong feelings. . I could summarise my internal journey with this book as me: *is bored* character: *is mean to Ki* me: WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO MY PRECIOUS DAUGHTER???? JUST! LET HER GRIEVE, LEAVE HER ALONE OMG! . So yeah I have conflicted feelings about this! Also the g*psy slur is used in the description at the back of the book but never in the book so >.> . . #bookstagram #instabook #bookstagrammer #bookphotography #becauseofreading #bookdragon #booklr #bookish #igreads #igbooks #bookbookbook #harpysflight #windsingers #meganlindholm #harpervoyager

With queer characters 🌈✨ . . @_hex_libris tagged me a while back for the #comfortfoodbooktag and since this was a really nice comfy read I'm going to do it now! . 🍦Icecream: A book that helps you chill. ➡️ The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet 🧀Nachos: Spicy cheesy goodness. ➡️ uhh not sure I understand the prompt but I'll say Failure to Communicate 🍫Family block of choc: something sweet. ➡️ City of Strife and its sequel 🍬Jelly Snakes: fav kids book. ➡️ ok don't look at me but Harry Potter I guess 🍟Hot Chips to Share: fav book fandom. ➡️ The Realm of the Elderlings / Hobbsquad 🍿Popcorn: book to movie you like. ➡️ The Lord of the Rings and recently Love, Simon 🍕Pizza: a book you & your friends love. ➡️ Uhh I can't say RotE again I guess?

Do I have a type? It seems like I have a type. I also watched Kiki's delivery service last month and Mary and the witch's flower a few days ago so… yeah. ✨🌸🖤witches🖤🌸✨ . ✨L'atelier des sorciers / Witch Hat Atlelier Was a nice first volume, a bit of info dump but gorgeous art and adorably clumsy heroine 💙 . ✨Little witch academia Disappointed that this is only a companion book to the anime and not the story of the anime but eh, still nice 💖 . . #bookstagram #instabook #bookstagrammer #bookphotography #becauseofreading #bookdragon #booklr #bookish #igreads #igbooks #manga #booksbooksbooks #witches #latelierdessorciers #witchhatatelier #kamomeshirahama #pikaedition #littlewitchacademia #yohyoshinari #trigger #keisukesato #nobinobi
