  • #bookreadhappyhour You're off in an epic adventure. Which four characters are you taking, and why? I'm bringing Matilda, first of all. She's smart and would have plenty of good ideas to help us. Second Charlie, from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, he's the luckiest little guy ever and we could use his good vibes. Next the BFG, we might need a big strong giant on our adventure. Plus, he's funny. And last we're bringing James and his giant peach, for provisions. * #grimdragon day 20 "where did this come from?" I wish I knew, but I can't remember in which used bookstore I found this awesome illustrated edition of James and the Giant Peach. It's apparently a special school set edition, because I looked it up and bought a hardback edition, too. But why was the school paperback in a used bookstore? These are the questions. #grimdragons #readersofig #illustratededitions #kookybooks #roalddahl #epicadventures #multipleeditions #becausebooks #readharder #bookaddict #becauseofbookstagram
  • #bookreadhappyhour Books with similar tropes. Here are three books of assorted fairy tales by Neil Gaiman, Robin McKinley, and George MacDonald. Frog Prince approved! * What's your own favorite fairy tale? I love the 12 Dancing Princesses, and the way McKinley tells it The Frog Prince is also my favorite! * #booklover #ilovebooks📚 #fairytales #magic #readersofig #readallthebooks #bookaddict #bookstagram #neilgaiman #robinmckinley #georgemacdonald
  • #bookreadhappyhour day 18 "I wish I knew how to quit you!" Bookmarks vs candles. * Hi my name is SE, and I have a bookish candle addiction. There's no step program for this, so I'm making one up: 1. Admit you're addicted to bookish candles 2. Ignore step 1 3. Buy more candles The steps are a work in progress, but they feel pretty solid. Something about the creative ideas, the endless scent possibilities, the fandoms they celebrate, and the pretty labels makes them my #bookishmerch of choice. I love floral/woodsy/herby scents. Musk and sandalwood are my two "eh, no" smells. How about you? #grimdragon day eighteen "I'm not going to ask you if you just said what I think you just said, because I know it's what you just said." I can totally picture this going through Gandalf's mind, word for word, when Frodo stood up to say he would take the Ring to Mordor. #booksandcandles #booksofig📚📚📚 #bookishallure #allthebooks #readharder #buyallthecandles #thehobbit #shirecandle #fantasy #epicfantasy #jrrtolkien #hobbithufflepuff #hobbitatheart
  • So excited about this kind review from @tropicalmaryblog for my book. It's thoughtful, thorough, and honest. I totally recommend her blog, her movie reviews especially. * It's the most amazing feeling when someone likes your book. Someone not related to you! Haha. Straight talk, it's hard to put your writing out there, with the very real possibility that it will get ripped to shreds. Writers get rejected and told "no" a lot. When your work does not get ripped apart, that feeling is SO nice. It gives you that boost to help you keep going. If I can be the person who gives you that boost, I would be honored. Author friends, always feel free to dm me about book reviews! #authorsofinstagram #amwriting #romanceauthor #nicereviews #onebookstillcountsaspublished #begentlewithme #writerlife #bookreview #writeon
  • "Don't," he said as she halted. "I forbid it." "Don't what," said Anna, startled. "Don't curtsy. I've had a hard afternoon and I can't stand it." Anna was indignant. "But I am a maid, my lord! And in Selina Strickland-" "And don't speak to me about Selina Strickland either. I have developed a profound dislike of Selina Strickland." * "Absurd?" Anna repeated. "It is crazy! Sergei has always said that the English aristocracy have brains like very small aspirins and now I believe it." * Week 3 of #romancestagram Ladies in Pants, I give you A Countess Below Stairs by Eva Ibbotson. Anna is an impoverished Russian countess who doesn't get a lot of the stricter English rules, like no wearing pants, ever. Ibbotson's romance novels are older, usually set pre 1920ish. And they are the sweetest heartbreaking reads you'll ever find. She is a genius at including the craziest, most hilarious shenanigans, and then making you cry because you're sure her couples will never get to their happy ever after. I'll leave the book description next for you, tell me what you think. Worth a try? Or nah? * "After the Russian Revolution turns her world topsy-turvy, Anna, a young Russian countess, has no choice but to flee to England. Penniless, Anna hides her aristocratic background and takes a job as a servant with the esteemed Westerholme family, armed only with an outdated housekeeping manual and sheer determination. Desperate to keep her past a secret, Anna is nearly overwhelmed by her new duties-not to mention her instant attraction to Rupert, the young Earl of Westerholme. To make matters worse, Rupert is falling in love with her, as well. As their attraction grows stronger, Anna finds it more and more difficult to keep her most dearly held secrets from unraveling. And then there's the small matter of Rupert's beautiful, nasty fiancée. . ."
  • Romance is taking over my feed for a few days. Giving you fair warning. #romancestagram is doing a challenge about all things historical and #HEA and guess what, I write historical romance! True, I'm not published yet but I firmly believe I will be. What I lack in good sense I make up for in pure, boneheaded, stubbornness. So this challenge is too perfect to miss. * Week 3 (May 14-20) has the theme Ladies in Pants. Didn't know that proper ladies in historical romances wore pants? Then you, my friend, are missing out. Meet Lady Freyja Bedwin, one of the six crazy Bedwin siblings, who spends plenty of time in pants and doesn't care if you're scandalized. * "From feisty manner to long, tumbling hair, Lady Freyja is pure fire, a woman who seeks both adventure and freedom. Adventure soon finds her on a visit to Bath, when a handsome stranger bursts into Freyja's room and entreats her to hide him. His name is Joshua Moore, Marquess of Hallmere, a man with a hell-raising reputation of his own who is quickly intrigued by the independent beauty. So intrigued, in fact, that he makes her a surprising offer: to pose as his fiancée and help thwart his family's matchmaking schemes." * #romancestagram #smoochies #historicalromance #thebedwyns #ladyfreyja #marybalogh #readthebest #readersofig #bookstagram #bookish #booksandcandles #bookishallure
