I am currently on an (ever increasing) hiatus it seems. My plan is to restart my bookstagram once I have moved house but given the recent COVID 19 outbreak that is likely to take a lot longer than planned. ▪▪▪ Instead to focus on more optimistic and exciting news! I wanted to highlight the fantastic Book Bloggers' Novel of the Year Award that I am a Panelist for. The award is to highlight brilliant books and applications are now open to authors. More information can be found @bbnyaofficial ! ▪▪▪ #bookblogger #bbnya #bbnya2020 #bbnya20 #bookstagram #indieauthor #selfpublished #selfpub

I was reading today about the Wayward Children series adaptation and it seems like a number of book (specifically YA) series have recently been picked up for TV. I am currently trying to read the Grisha verse in order to watch the upcoming series. What are you excited to see adapted, or what book or series do you want to be adapted? ••• #seananmcguire #waywardchildren #inanabsentdream #book #bookworm #bookblog #bookblogger #read #instabook #bookstagram #booklover #bookstagram #bookphotography #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #igreads #ya #youngadult

I have been really lucky that my local Waterstones has had a number of well known YA (and adult) authors who have Nottingham on their tour. It is also lovely that you get the chance to meet them at the signing afterwards. Here are a couple of my highlights (but please ignore my face!). ••• Have you been to any signings recently? ••• #waterstones #tomiadeyemi #victoriaaveyard #veschwab #bookblogger #bookstagram #bookblog #bookworm #bookphotography #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #igreads #instabook

My collection of sprayed edges books continues to grow, thanks to Bookish Boxes and special edition purchases (thank you @waterstones). I especially love the Song of Sorrow edition with sprayed text 😍 ••• Do you have a favourite sprayed edge edition? ••• #waterstones #illumicrate #owlcrate #ya #youngadult #book #bookworm #bookblog #bookblogger #bookphotography #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #booklover #tbr #instabook #igreads #bibliophile

I loved V.E. Schwab's talk and signing yesterday - I think in part because I love hearing people talk about what they are passionate or interested in. (I may post a picture, but my face...) ••• Anyway talking about interests - I loved Heartstopper by Alice Oseman, my 8th read this year. Any LGBTQIA+ story done well is a thing I want in on and the fact this was an incredibly cute graphic novel was the cherry on top. I am super excited for the second volume. But whilst I am waiting, do you have any LGBTQIA+ or graphic novel recommendations? ••• #book #heartstopper #aliceoseman #bookblogger #bookblog #bookworm #bookphotography #bibliophile #igreads #instabook #bookstagram #booklover #lgbt #lgbtqia #read #graphicnovel #ya #youngadult #fiction

I loved @illumicrate's virtual signing and hope it may be something that becomes more popular. I have recently really gotten into having my books signed or personalised but it is very hit and miss if particular authors are coming to a store nearby and when you work it can be hard to travel (still gutted at missing Angie Thomas). ••• I am however super excited for @veschwab at @waterstonesng tomorrow, and am currently trying to narrow down my possible signing options (I've narrowed it down to 6 options). Are you attending any signings that you are excited for? ••• #veschwab #waterstones #samanthashannon #book #bookblogger #bookblog #bookworm #bookphotography #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #igreads #instabook #bookstagram #booklover #tbr #illumicrate

February 2019 Wrap Up ••• I read 11 'things' in February, including a manga, several graphic novels and a short story collection. It wasn't the best month in terms of my star ratings (although Heartstopper was amazing) and I had a slump for the last week or so - which has trailed me into March. But I hope I may read a few more novels in the coming weeks! ••• #wrapup #februarywrapup #bookblogger #bookblog #bookworm #bookphotography #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #igreads #instabook #bookstagram #booklover #manga #graphicnovel #ya #youngadult #read

February Book Haul! ••• Always late to the party - this month was a ridiculous haul which I admit (so I hope this will be the worst month), but I blame 2018 Megan for all the pre-ordered items that apparently mostly came out last month. But in a change from a usual haul, I have already read a number of these books, which is highly out of character. ••• #bookhaul #februarybookhaul #tbr #bookblogger #bookblog #bookworm #bookphotography #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #igreads #instabook #bookstagram #booklover #book
