𝐐𝐎𝐓𝐃: Is there a historical period that you like studying/reading about? . Good morning, Bibliophiles!😘 Has anyone been keeping up with the Bridgerton's? I haven't seen any of the seasons yet (probably going to read the books first because of course😂) but it looks like a lot of people are enjoying it! And I've been hearing this new season has deaf and possibly autistic rep! . 𝐀𝐎𝐓𝐃: While I mention Bridgerton, set during the regency era, I haven't actually studied much of it🤔 At least, outside of Jane Austen and googling George IV (oof). But I have read quite a bit of books set during the Victorian era due to me taking a bunch of classes about Victorian literature😂 The Brontë's, "Stalking Jack the Ripper", "Tipping the Velvet" just to name a few! .

For the @chapter_adventure monthly keyword challenge, this month I chose the word LOVE, and of course I needed to read the Do’s and Donuts of Love by Adiba Jaigirdar and as usual this was a brilliant read. Adiba is just an auto buy author for me now, I have read three out of four of her books, and the last one is now on my June read list after I treated myself to it out of birthday vouchers! 𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕜 ℝ𝕖𝕧𝕚𝕖𝕨 This book is just fantastically written, the number of donut and baking puns is unreal as well as all the little easter eggs throughout the book. I loved the inclusion of the junior baking show based off the British Bake Off, even with judges whose names were a play on some very famous TV chefs in the UK! The romance throughout was super cute and very PG, which was refreshing to read, the trope was done very well, and I completely shipped the main characters throughout! I like that the author also acknowledged the effect that social media has on reality contestants as there are always “anonymous” people posting and commenting harmful and hateful comments towards others. Shireen is such a lovely, relatable and realistic character, her personality just shone throughout the book, and I would love to be her friend! Majority of her relationships and friendships were goals, I just felt she was too trusting and naive in some places, but glad that she had her best friend to steer her straight! Adiba is just a fantastic author who knows who writing strengths, every single book has been a wonderful read.

What’s the last book you read based on a friend’s recommendation and *not* because you saw it on bookstagram? . A friend of mine recommended A Winter’s Promise several years ago, so I added it to my TBR and promptly forgot about it. 🙈 Earlier this year, a coworker raved about it, reminding me of said previous friend’s recommendation, and then I managed to get my hands on a copy. I read it in about four days and enjoyed it immensely! Fantasy with steampunk vibes, traveling magically through mirrors, arranged marriage with a slow burn enemies to lovers, and SO much sneaky scheming! There’s clearly so much more to come though, so I need to find a copy of book two! . #MyFandomObsessionsMay24 - Abbey Pond: nature on the cover - clouds . . . #readingadventuresmay24 - Kylo Ren: redemption arc - Thorn, from Ophelia’s perspective #StoriesWithStephMay24 - And the ocean will be mine: schemes - Archibald . #Bookishconlifemay24 - Bouffalant: Travel - airships and mirrors #ShhStagramMAY24 - Neural Pathways: world building - fantasy with steampunk vibes . #ForeverinmyTeastory - Oolong: Romance - very slow burn #ReadingInTheWeb - imgonnagetyouback: enemies to lovers . #allthebooksmay24 - paperback #booksandmayflowers24 - Before the Coffee Gets Cold (translated book) . #awinterspromise #christelledabos #themirrorvisitor #bluebook #lightblue #bookshelfie #steampunk #amreadingfantasy #slowburnromance #translatedbook #frenchbook #paperback #worldbuilding #bookseries #quartet #bookobsessed #bookone #arrangedmarriage #recommendedbook

🥢Finished Read🥢 . A few days ago I finished my binge read of the Restaurant To Another World manga series. This was for @strayteezathon for the translated from japanese prompt! I have read the light novels for this series so I knew alot about the lore of the series before going into it. I was just so excited for the food art 🤣 and it didn't disappoint. I love portal fantasy and this series does it so well with bringing some classic fantasy races to life in a real world restaurant. The manga did a good job at the world building and the connections between characters but obviously the light novels go into more depth about these. I was a bit sad that the fairies were missing from the manga as they are some of my favourites from the light novels. Overall this is such a fantastic series and the manga adds gorgeous food art to this cosy portal fantasy. . #allthebooksmay24 - paperback #booksandmayflowers24 - translated book #StoriesWithStephMay24 comfort reads #stacksaturday #ikarianmay24 fantasy . #bookstagram #bookphotography #coverlove #bibliophile #booknerd #bookworm #bookaesthetic #cozyreading #reader #readersofinstagram #fantasyreads #manga #mangagram #restauranttoanotherworld #junpeiinuzuka #takaakikugatsu #bookstack #cosyfantasy #portalfantasy #bookish #booksbooksbooks #bookstagramcommunity #fortheloveofbooks #strayteezathon #kpopaesthetic

🩶Thursday🩶 . This week has been a manga week, I have read 3 volumes of Twilight Out Of Focus and I have read a volume of Restaurant To Another World too. Tonight I want to read atleast two volumes of Restaurant To Another World. . Today's post is The Raven Cycle and The Dreamer Cycle.

On September 17, 1984 the world changed, more than meets the eye premiered, and the world was introduced to the transformers. We are in the midst of a celebration of 40 years of transformers and yesterday the first four episodes of generation one was shown on the big screen in theaters around the country. I went and was so blown away by watching the table read of old and new actors voicing these iconic characters. 🦖📚🦕 #allthebooksmay24 - Spin-off series #BookishBellesMay24 - Day of Light: inspiring #Bookishconlifemay24 - Mew- Plot Twist #booksandmayflowers24 - Anna Dressed in Blood (paranormal reads) #DistractedByFictionMay24 - Lasers, stars or sun on the cover #ForeverinmyTeastory - #currentlyreading #LMSMay2024 - Thrilling Reads #MyFandomObsessionsMay24 - Sela: healers #readingadventuresmay24 - “That’s not how the Force works”: banter #StoriesWithStephMay24 - Let me be your wings: adventure or fairies 🦕📚🦖 #transformers #thetransformers #transformers40 #transformers40thanniversary #bookish #bookishlove #bookishglee #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookgram #instabook #booknerd #bookworm #g1 #bookishcommunity #transformersg1 #transformersgenerationone #transformersgenerations

Blind Spot by @paulahawkins2010 was one of the first books I read in 2024, and at less than 120 pages, it's the perfect way to pass a couple of hours. . Edie, Jake and Ryan have been friends since they were teenagers. Edie and Jake are now married, but when Jake's murdered and Ryan accused of doing the deed, Edie's world is turned upside down. . Is Ryan guilty, or has something from their shared past come back to haunt them, with someone else being the murderer...? . There are only five characters in the book, with one being a policewoman, so it's pretty obvious who the real culprit is. The fun is finding out why they did it, and the reason is pretty dark... . 🌟🌟🌟💫 . #storieswithstephmay24 #beyondpages #courtofreadingmay24 #bookreadhappyhour #readingintheweb #myfandomobsessionsmay24 #bookishconlifemay24 #allthebooksmay24 #booksandmayflowers24 #bookishbellesmay24 #distractedbyfictionmay24 #lmsmay2024 #tbr20in24 #blindspot #paulahawkins #aslowfireburning #intothewater #quickreads #thegirlonthetrain #psychologicalthriller #mysterybooks #murdermystery #thrillingreads #thrillerbooks #ukauthor #bookandcandle #wickwednesday #bookishflatlay #bookphotography #thereadingagency

“I can’t say if you’re a good person or not. But the more I know of you, the more I understand that the world keeps making you choose between survival and martyrdom. No one should fault you for wanting to live.” — Little Thieves, Margaret Owen 💎 » What are you currently reading? 🤓 I know I had high hopes for The Wolf and the Woodsman and For The Wolf, and here I am, reading neither of them 😂 I just started reading Little Thieves by Margaret Owen, which has been on my tbr for at least two years, ans long enough for its sequel to come out and be gushed over on booksta while I swiped past and hoped not to see any spoilers. Like the wolf books above, it’s also a retelling of a lesser known fairytale, The Goose Girl by the Grimm Brothers, which I hadn’t even heard about until I heard about this book, which is exciting. It’s giving Rumpelstiltskin vibes by way of Marissa Meyer’s Gilded, and I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds around Vanja, the main character, and her quest for freedom from her godmothers (who happen to be Fortune and Death) while simultaneously dealing with multiple curses bestowed upon her and the hunters after her for stealing some jewels from the aristocracy 😬 #littlethieves #margaretowen

💜Tuesday💜 . Last night I finished Can't Spell Treason Without Tea and it was such a great read. I have a week of manga lined up now so that I can also try to watch some dramas as I am in a watch slump 🙈 . Today's post is The Demon Trappers Daughter series. This is one of my favourite YA series from back in the day, the character development that takes place across the series is fantastic and the romance is one of my favourites.

Vor über 10 Jahren war Jennifer Benkau mit dieser Dilogie in aller Munde. Dystopien und Apokalypsen waren groß in Mode. Seitdem stehen die Bücher ungelesen bei mir im Regal. Ungelesene Bücher erzeugen bei mir kein Unwohlsein oder Druck. Sie sind Teil meiner Bibliothek. Ich sortiere nicht aus, nur um einen SuB zu subtrahieren. Falls ich Bücher aussortiere, habe ich vorher reingelesen. Und selbst das tue ich nicht unter dem Vorsatz, mich von dem jeweiligen Buch zu trennen. Hier ergab es sich, dass ich von der Autorin etwas anderes bei Libby als Hörbuch hörte, abbrach und wieder zurückgab. Dabei fiel mir diese Dilogie wieder ein. Ich blätterte kurz durch und merkte, dass mich auch hier die selben Aspekte am Roman störten. Es ist sehr YA, für junge Mädchen, die gerne schwärmen, Helden suchen, um sie anzuhimmeln oder sich in der Prota wiederzufinden. Dafür bin ich definitiv die falsche Zielgruppe. Ich werde die Bücher bei mir im Haus aufs Fensterbrett stellen 😜 die bleiben da nicht lange stehen 😅 #jenniferbenkau #darkcanopy #darkdestiny @jenniferbenkau_autorin #readingwithsaraandolivia #readingspace > Jedes Buch bekommt seine Chance. Erst danach wird es evtl aussortiert, um mehr "space" für "reading" zu schaffen 😘 #buchundkaffeesbüchermai2024 > YA #allthebooksmay24 > last fav trope alles aus dem aktuellen Bereich YA #booksandmayflowers24 #dystopian novel Jennifer Benkau wird anscheinend nicht in irgendeine Sprache übersetzt.

“It’s like, if you had to provide evidence for soul mates, everyone would pick you two.” — Nick and Charlie, Alice Oseman 💏 » Are you a book binger, or do you take your time to read a book? 📚 I normally take my time reading a book over a few days, and that’s mostly because I only have pockets of time that don’t let me sit with a book for five hours a day and so I read a chapter when I can. But it does help to schedule out my reading time and I can plan for having a sweet treat or making tea and have a cozy little moment with the book 😊 However, last week, I had the a very strong urge to just finish a book and all my current reads are over 400 pages, so at like 10pm I scrolled through Libby and lo and behold, two Heartstopper novellas were available and waiting for me to binge them. Which I did, and man, I get couples have rough periods, especially teenage couples, but did Alice Oseman really have to do that to us in Nick and Charlie 🥺 I also read This Winter, which has all the cute moments, then followed it up with the miscommunication trope that is Nick and Charlie and so I think my heart hurt extra and more than it would have normally 😅 But it was fun to be back in the Heartstopper universe again, and I can’t wait for season 3! 🥰 #nickandcharlie #heartstopper #aliceoseman

may 12 ; 📚 Do you prefer a dark and gritty thriller or a cosy murder mystery? I had an interesting conversation with a friend recently when we were talking about books. I wanted to recommend Jesse Sutanto to them. But they mentioned that they prefer darker, gritter thrillers and murder mysteries than the "cosy" types. I on the other hand - much prefer the cosy types. I read the first two books in the Auntie series and Arsenic and Adobo a few years ago and absolutely adored them. Like how do you make murder funny? I will say I am definitely more drawn to Jesse Sutanto's books and Arsnic and Adobo than potentially other cosy mysteries because they are by Southeast Asian authors (Indonesian and Filipino respectively). And we all know that I'm here to support all SEA authors! • #DistractedByFictionMay24 ; A wedding #LMSMay2024 ; Cosy Reads #booksandmayflowers24 ; Arsenic and Adobo (cozy mystery)

#lmsmay2024 Favourite Trope & #booksandmayflowers24 Loveboat Reunion: Grumpy And Sunshine - I am partial to a good grumpy/sunshine pairing! Sweet & Bitter Magic is one of my favourites! Tamsin is a witch cursed to never feel love (including just appreciation of the look or taste of something) and Wren is a magical source who can both literally and figuratively see the magic in the world. It also has another of my favourite tropes: A quest! #myfandomobsessionsmay24 Brother Alf: Siblings - As I mentioned recently, Travellers Along The Way centres on the sister relationship between Rahma and Zenna, with the former being willing to follow the latter to war (against the invading crusaders) to keep her safe. Sweet & Bitter Magic also has a pivotal intense sister relationship as the reason for Tamsin's curse is as punishment for the devastation she caused trying to bring her sister back to life. The reasoning was that since she could cause so much trouble because of her love, she shouldn't get to feel it anymore (SPOILERS if you're worried it's a tragic book, it's very much not, and she regains both her ability to love and her sister) #foreverinmyteastory Lavender: Beautiful Cover - In this stack The Red Scholar's Wake, Girls Of Paper And Fire, Sweet & Bitter Magic, and The Wild Ones have particularly gorgeous cover designs! #bookishconlifemay24 Stack Saturday George Colour: Purple 💜 - Purple is one of my favourite colours for books, and in general! It's just such a pretty colour no matter the shade! #bookstagram #lgbtbooks #sapphicbooks

#lmsmay2024 Right In The Feels & #allthebooksmay24 Currently Reading - One of the many books I have on the go right now is Girls Of Fate And Fury, and it's just as amazing and emotionally tense as I'd expected! Since I just finished reading another book about a revolution and sadly found I couldn't feel invested in any of the characters, I'm even more aware of how intensely I care about the characters in this one! Since the series handles a lot of difficult subjects, and it's been explicitly stated that aspects of it are inspired by Chinese and Malaysian history, quite apart from speculative fiction at its core involving ways of discussing real world issues, I don't think it's inappropriate to bring in a serious real life issue into a discussion of it. The timing of when I'm reading it meant that I couldn't help but notice how it shows attacking refugees as the horrible and evil act that it is. It's unfathomable to me how people can see that happening in the real world and not be absolutely horrified and want to do anything to stop it #alleyesonrafah #booksandmayflowers24 The Girl Who Fell Beneath The Sea: Asian Mythology - As well as drawing from Chinese and Malaysian history, it also draws on the mythology of the countries #myfandomobsessionsmay24 Jess Squirrel: Red Books - Both of the trilogies represented in this photo have a book each in purple, blue, and red, though not in the same order. Girls Of Fate And Fury is the final book in its trilogy, The Severed Thread is the second in its own. I've actually already finished this one a while ago, though, so I'm nearly at the end of both trilogies #foreverinmyteastory Tea Leaves: Witches - Briar Rose comes from a time and a country where witches were revered, but since he was in magical sleep for a century, by the time Red was growing up, witches are few and far between and persecuted by witchhunters. This is one of the things that pushed her into the service of the Spindle Witch, responsible both for Briar's enchanted sleep and for ruining the reputation of witches #bookstagram #lgbtbooks #sapphicbooks

I love a bit of myth in my stories, whether that's a complete retelling or just influences scattered through the book. I've mostly read Greek mythology with a bit of Norse. Recently though, I've been reading more books focussed around Asian mythology. And I love it! The visuals are just stunning. Out of these, I still need to read She Who Became The Sun and Song of the Six Realms. I am very excited.

One 2024 anticipated release is The Warm Hands of the Ghosts by Katherine Arden. I adore her Winternight trilogy so thrilled to be able to read more from her. • All I know about The Warm Hands of the Ghosts is that is written for adult audience and is set in WWI, includes some magical realism and focuses on an army nurse who’s looking for her brother.

#lmsmay2024 Plot Twist - Because I grew up reading mystery novels, when I hear that a book has a 'stunning' (or similar intensifier) plot twist, I'm immediately on the look out, trying to figure out what it might be, which more often than not spoils the plot twist, as it's not meant to be like a mystery and so you're not supposed to get the 'I was right' thrill. A series that is NOT like that for me is The Locked Tomb, because no matter what you figure out, there's something else going to twist as well, and they DO have elements of mystery novels to them, so you jot only get that thrill, but you can also go back and find all the clues! That's why I almost always end up using this series for plot twist prompts! #booksandmayflowers24 A Queen In Hiding: Exiled Royalty - The first Dorsa book ended with Tasia fleeing a coup and her own execution, so while she wasn't officially exiled, she starts Soldier Of Dorsa as in effect exiled royalty... #myfandomobsessionsmay24 The Sword Of Martin The Warrior: Legendary - Excalibur is obviously the most famous legendary sword! And all of the Arthurian figures reincarnated or awakened in Once & Future are legendary themselves, too. And of course, I have to also mention Matthias Nonius from The Locked Tomb, the legendary cavalier of the Ninth who is literally named after Martin's successor Matthias! #foreverinmyteastory Jasmin: Book With A Wedding - I can't remember if we actually see Ari and Gwen's wedding, but it definitely happens during the course for the book #allthebooksmay24 If You Like This...Read This... - I'd say people who like one of these series are likely to like the other two, not just because I'm a fan of them all! TLT and Once & Future both include millenia old legends and dynasties coming to a head, snarky sword wielding female leads, and are Sci-fantasy with sapphic romance. Dorsa is also blades and sapphic, even if not in space, and you could think of the main romantic dynamic as being if Cam became Coronabeth's cavalier and they fell in love #bookstagram #lgbtbooks #sapphicbooks #transbooks365

#lmsmay2024 Characters You Love - Obviously all of the Tortall main cast, but with special mention in this post to Daine and Kitten! And I love Xiang and Anh, and all their crew in A Clash Of Steel! I haven't read all of either of the other two books (just started She Is A Haunting today!) so I don't know if I love any of the characters in them yet, but I'm hopeful! #booksandmayflowers24 Inside Out And Back Again: Vietnamese Author - She Is A Haunting, A Clash Of Steel, and The Red Scholar's Wake are all by authors from the Vietnamese diaspora! She Is A Haunting actually only arrived today, which was perfect timing for the photo #bookishconlifemay24 Charizard: Dragons - There's more than one dragon in The Realms Of The Gods, obviously since there are two on the cover, but the dragon I judge all others by is Kitten! She's just the best, and cutest, baby dragon ever ❤️ #myfandomobsessionsmay24 Cluny The Scourge: Nasty Villain - Since A Clash Of Steel is a retelling of Treasure Island, it of course has a good deal of villains fighting against each other, but I think Cheung Po Tsai who went from being a pirate to being a naval commander is probably the worst and harshest #bookstagram #lgbtbooks #sapphicbooks #transbooks365

Happy release day to the next instalment in the Lore Olympus series by Rachel Smythe, this is one series I cannot wait to start, I am not usually a huge fan of graphic novels, but thanks to the wonderful Alice Oseman for the #Osemanverse I love them! I just finished volume five which I absolutely adored. I love that both Nick and Charlie are still remaining strong and supporting each other, whilst also dealing with their own struggles, I find it lovely that there is a book highlighting just how difficult adolescence is, not everyone at the age of 16 knows what they want to as a profession or what to study and I like that Nick was going through this, I am kind of upset that the next instalment will be the last, but I am no doubt going to laugh and cry and then rewatch the series afterwards!

𝐐𝐎𝐓𝐃: Can you think of a book that's set in your home state/area? . Good morning, Bibliophiles!😘 If you live in Ohio, how do you feel about your state being fictionally associated with alien invasions? Because I'm flabbergasted😂 I assure all the non-Ohioans that it's not all that exciting. . 𝐀𝐎𝐓𝐃: I knew "Little Fires Everywhere" was set in a fictionalized town in Ohio but I thought that was it. But I looked at a Goodreads list that had 418 books on it😳 So, there's definitely more than 17 but since I can't include that many on a carousel, I limited it down to books I was familiar with😂 And Toni Morrison and Mindy McGinnis seem to really like setting their books in Ohio. .

Today’s feature is The Race Is On Series by OC Heaton. There are 4 books in the series, the prequal novella Mad, followed by LEAP, Green Ray, and the most recent release ATOM INC. Each book is a fantastic read with great storytelling, character development, and shock plot twists. I am currently on chapter 23 and have question four to answer in this month long read along, which is a thought-provoking question! Question Four: Do you agree that LEAP should be used to bring people back to life? Answer Four: As much as my love for loved ones would scream and beg for me to agree to this and would love this kind of technology, I don’t believe it should be allowed, playing “God” with something like this is dangerous. I am a firm believer in things happening for a reason, and I believe that tinkering with this kind of power really does defy natural life Once again, a big thanks to @LoveBookTours and @OCHeaton for the gifted book series, spots on previous tours, and a spot on this read along!

#qotd what’s your favorite sci-fi book, film, or tv show? 🌸 May the Fourth be with you! I don’t know if I can name a favorite sci-fi. I love dystopians, part of the sci fi genre. I love Doctor Who, Star Wars, Firefly, and others to name a few. Guess I’m just a nerd 🤓 🌸 Challenges: #booksandmayflowers24 - #scifisaturday 🌸 HASHTAGS #livingforliterature #readyplayerone #readyplayeronebook #rp1 #ernestcline #ernestclinebook #maytheforcebewithyou #maythefourthbewithyou #maythefourth #starwars #starwarsday #scifi #scifibooks #scifibooks📚 #sciencefiction #sciencefictionbooks #sciencefictionnovel #bookvibes #bookworm #bookworms #bookworld #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #books #booksaremylife #booksarelife #booksbooksandmorebooks
