Happy Saturday! ✨ What are some of your favorite historical fiction/fantasy books? ✨ I had no idea historical fantasy was a thing until I read Fawkes by Nadine Brandes. The concept of mixing actual historical events with either a fantasy world or touch of magic blew my mind and inspired me so much! History and fantasy? Two of my favorite things together? It’s absolutely perfect! I’ve actually only read a few historical fantasy books. Fawkes and Romanov by Nadine Brandes, The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi, Rook by Sharon Cameron (wasn’t my favorite book but I finished it anyways), and The Beautiful by Renee Ahdieh. One day I’d love to write my own historical fantasy, but for now, I’m content to read them instead. ✨ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookish #bookishlove #booklover #bookworm #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookpic #bookobsessed #bookphotography #bookphoto #historicalfantasy #romanov #fawkes #thegildedwolves #thebeautiful #bookcommunity #bookishcommunity #readergram #readerlife #readersofinstagram
Happy Friday! ✨ I know I’ve been pretty absent the past few weeks... February has been a very different month than I thought it would. Last week was really difficult. Lots of lows, lots of anxiety... This week has been better, just pretty busy. I feel like I’ve gotten control over my anxiety again (at least more than I had last week) and I’ve been working on a lot of writing stuff. ✨ On Monday this week I finished revisions on Golden Touch! That was seriously the cleanest first draft I’ve ever written. I wish all my first drafts could be that easy! I plan to start writing the sequel in March... Honestly, I’m not sure when I I’ll share Golden Touch. It’s a book that’s very close to me and it felt very... vulnerable writing it. I’m not sure I’m ready to share the characters or story with anyone else yet. ✨ However! I do have a different story to share with everyone! I also finished my major round of revisions on Cursed! Now that book has definitely not been the cleanest first draft I’ve ever written. I’m going to be finishing up checking the grammar today and I’ll be looking for beta readers over the weekend and on Monday. ✨ So yeah, that’s what I’ve been up to the past 2 weeks. Lots of figuring out anxiety stuff, dentist appointments (not fun haha), finishing up two different drafts, doing classwork and waiting for the weather to get warmer. I’m going to really try and be more consistent in the coming week, and especially throughout March. ✨ #authorlife #authorgram #authorsofinstagram #writerlife #writergram #amwriting #amrevising #writingupdate #lifewithanxiety #anxiouswriter #amrevising #amediting #stcroixfalls2 #goldentouchwip #lifeupdate #tealove #writingandtea #writersofinstagram #yaparanormalromance #wip #sequel
Happy Sunday! ✨ #edgycleanfeb20 Day 16: Show your stuff: #shelfiesunday ✨ Are you into essential oils? ✨ I see so many #bookstagrammers who love candles, but I’ve never been able to get into them. Instead, I love essential oils! I have peppermint and/or eucalyptus diffusing all day every day. I don’t know if this is weird or not but I love the smell of eucalyptus haha. It helps to just make my room smell nice and I honestly think they both help to take the edge off my anxiety at times too. :) ✨ #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bookishlove #booklover #booklove #essentialoils #diffuser #bookworm #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookobsessed #readergram #amreading #readersofinstagram #bookpic #bookishpic #bookphotography
Happy Thursday! ✨ Favorite female character? ✨ I really love Nina from Slayer! She’s unlike any other slayer in the Buffy verse. She’s a healer first, violence second type is girl. She was always content being in the background, being back up... until she was dubbed the last slayer. I love her character and watching her learn how to balance being who she’s always been, a healer, a gentle person and the slayer she’s destined to be. There are a lot of female protagonists out there who are all about the action. They’re strong, independent female heroines. I love that Nina can be strong and independent and a slayer but also be loving and gentle and compassionate. ✨ #slayer #chosen #buffyverse #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booklove #bookishlove #bookish #booklover #bookworm #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookobsessed #bookpic #bookphotography #femaleprotagonist #bestheroine
Happy Wednesday! ✨ Who are some of your favorite bookish villains? ✨ I love a good villain and Victoria Schwab’s Villains series is full of them. Vicious is one of my favorite books. It’s written so amazingly and the characters are just fantastic! Victor is one of my favorite protagonists. I think Vicious is one of the only adult fiction books I’ve ever read that I love so much. Eli (the antagonist of Vicious) is one of the most interesting, awful and compelling villains I’ve ever read about in a book. ✨ On a different note, Wayward is for sale on Amazon right now! For today only you can get it for 0.99! Tomorrow you’ll be able to get it for 1.99, so if you want to check it out I’d get it today. If you have Kindle Unlimited, you can always read it whenever you want too. :) Click the link in my bio and then click the Find My Books Here link. ✨ #villains #vicious #vengeful #victoriaschwab #bookstagram #bookworm #bookishlove #bookish #booklove #booklover #bookpic #bookphotography #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookobsessed #readergram #readerlife #readersofinstagram #ebooksale #kindlebooks #wayward #stcroixfalls1 #kindleunlimited #booksale #authorlife #authorgram
