I barely had any time to read yesterday for my readathon which sucks! Especially as things are starting to get so exciting in the Philosopher's Stone. We're having such a heat wave here too that it's just too warm to do anything but face plant in a bucket of ice 😅 #OzbooksnailHP * * QOTD: what's the weather like where you are? * * #wickandjanedec19 - childhood favourites #allthebooksdec19 - fav holiday books and movies #bookqueensdec19 - books about family #happyholidaysbooksta19 - #throwbackthursday * * #books #bookworm #bookdragon #booknerd #amreading #bookstagram #bookphotography #currentlyreading #bookrecommendations #instabook #bookflatlay #prettybooks #booksarelife #booksofinsta #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #hp #readathon #harrypotter
Do you have a book you always read at Christmas? I don't, but in the past my family has done reading sessions together of A Christmas Carol - the ultimate Christmas story! I've always wanted to read Great Expectations too, but I've never gotten around to it 🤔 * * Updates for my HP readathon! I'm 2/3 way done with The Philosopher's Stone and my first vlog is up (link in bio). Hoping to press on to The Chamber of Secrets soon! * * #wickandjanedec19 - #wickwednesday #allthebooksdec19 - classics #bookqueensdec19 - wick Wednesday #bookbookowlchristmas - set in another country * * #books #bookworm #bookdragon #booknerd #amreading #bookstagram #bookphotography #currentlyreading #bookrecommendations #instabook #bookflatlay #prettybooks #booksarelife #booksofinsta #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #charlesdickens #greatexpectations
Who's your favourite OTP from 2019? The romance in The Cruel Prince is just to die for 😍 it's the ultimate enemies to friends relationship and I can't get enough! Especially as all the angst of it is escalated by the wickedness of the fae. I'm very excited for the Queen of Nothing, it's a book real high up my priority list to buy! * * #wickandjanedec19 - hearts that thawed #allthebooksdec19 - books on my wish list #bookqueensdec19 - terrifying villains #bookbookowlchristmas - royalty * * #books #bookworm #bookdragon #booknerd #amreading #bookstagram #bookphotography #currentlyreading #bookrecommendations #instabook #bookflatlay #prettybooks #booksarelife #booksofinsta #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #flatlay #thecruelprince
What books are you reading in December? I've started Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and it's so nostalgic rereading it! And the illustrations are equal parts hilarious and beautiful 😍 * * Another series I wouldn't mind rereading is the Six of Crows duology. All the characters and adventures in these books are so much fun and it's been so long since I've read them now! * * #wickandjanedec19 - #mugmonday #bookqueensdec19 - #mugmonday #bookbookowlchristmas - duology #bibobooxmas19 - #cozy * * #books #bookworm #bookdragon #booknerd #amreading #bookstagram #bookphotography #currentlyreading #bookrecommendations #instabook #bookflatlay #prettybooks #booksarelife #booksofinsta #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #flatlay #sixofcrows #OzbooksnailHP
It's December!! 🌟🎄 I can't WAIT to decorate the house and get festive 🎅⛄ I live for Christmas and this year I'm challenging myself to reread the Harry Potter books in their illustrated editions. Today is day one of my readathon #OzbooksnailHP so let me know if you're joining in and keep and eye for updates in my story! * * #allthebooksdec19 - TBR #wickandjanedec19 - TBR #bookqueensdec19 - TBR #bibobooxmas19 - TBR * * #books #bookworm #bookdragon #booknerd #amreading #bookstagram #bookphotography #currentlyreading #bookrecommendations #instabook #bookflatlay #prettybooks #booksarelife #booksofinsta #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #flatlay #harrypotter #readathon #tbr #hp #christmas
What was your favourite book in November? I loved Stalking Jack the Ripper which I read via audiobook. I'm currently attempting to finish off Morning Star which I'm half way through before December starts, it's going to be a cozy day of reading! * * Books read: 📚 Throne of Glass 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 📚 The Fry Chronicles 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 📚 Salvation Lost 🌟🌟🌟 📚 Stalking Jack the Ripper 🌟🌟🌟🌟 📚 Morning Star (currently reading) * * If all goes to plan with finishing my current read, that means tomorrow will mark the beginning of my readathon in the lead up to Christmas to reread the illustrated editions of Harry Potter! Feel free to join in and use the hashtag #OzbooksnailHP so I can see where you're at!! * * #bookravensnov19 - wrap up #novreadstoomuch19 - wrap up * * #books #bookworm #bookdragon #booknerd #amreading #bookstagram #bookphotography #currentlyreading #bookrecommendations #instabook #bookflatlay #prettybooks #booksarelife #booksofinsta #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #wrapup
How many books did you acquire in November? Remember how I said I probably wouldn't have a book haul in November (on my YouTube channel)? How I thought I wouldn't get any books because I go on a book buying ban in the lead up to Christmas? HAH. * * New books: 🎄 Scythe by Neal Shusterman 🎄 The Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter 🎄 A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon 🎄 Verity by Colleen Hoover 🎄 The Pearl Thief by Fiona McIntosh 🎄 Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman * * Ive never failed so miserably. But let me explain. I've already read Scythe but I wanted a physical copy of it. The Rage of Dragons was Jayden's anniversary present to me. And ALL the rest are audiobooks largely acquired during Audible's 5th anniversary sale. So really, I did well. * * #novreadstoomuch19 - book haul #bookravensnov19 - book haul * * #books #bookworm #bookdragon #booknerd #amreading #bookstagram #bookphotography #currentlyreading #bookrecommendations #instabook #bookflatlay #prettybooks #booksarelife #booksofinsta #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #flatlay #bookhaul
Tea or Coffee? Tea is my life 😍 * * Looking back at my reading statistics for the year, my most common rating has been 4 stars by far! 24/51 books I've read so far I've pegged at 4 stars. What a good reading year! * * #bookbookowlnovembernumbers - book you have 4 stars * * #books #bookworm #bookdragon #booknerd #amreading #bookstagram #bookphotography #currentlyreading #bookrecommendations #instabook #bookflatlay #prettybooks #booksarelife #booksofinsta #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #flatlay #tea
