It's #FaceFriday, and I want to see all of YOU! Post your selfies, use the hashtag (or even tag me in the caption so I can see!), and make everyone's news feeds a little more beautiful today!⁠ ⁠ Also, since we're halfway through the year, let's do a reading goal check-in! How is everyone doing goal-wise? I set a smaller goal for myself this year of 50 books, and have just recently hit it! I'm very proud!⁠ ⁠ Tell me about your reading goals! I'd love to know what your goal is (if you set one), and how far along into it you are!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookworm #booklover #bookcollector #constantreader #ilovetoread #girlswhoread #bookaesthetic #rainbowhair #unicornhair #mermaidhair #colorfulhair #selfiesofinstagram #instaselfie #stopdropandselfie

I'm never going to stop talking about how much I love these books, friends. Each one just builds upon such an incredible concept in so many unique, inclusive, diverse ways - I love everything about it!⁠ ⁠ I've been rereading this whole series recently & I've just had so many feels about them. THEY ARE SO GOOD! Book 2 has always been my fav, but upon a reread, I am really enjoying Book 3 as well - it's god more info on all the other worlds, and I love learning about them! And I need more underwater world details, PLEASE!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #everyheartadoorway #bookaddict #bookphotos #seananmcguire #thewaywardchildrenseries #waywardchildren #waywardchildrenseries #bookcollector #bookcollection #ilovebooks #fantasybooks #horrorbooks #yabooks #magicalbooks #magicalrealism

Got this in the mail recently and am so excited for the upcoming @Night_Worms book party that it'll be accompanying! Horror comics are a favorite of mine, especially when they're colorful and have super adorable art.⁠ ⁠ Have you read it? What other horror-themed comics would you recommend?⁠ ⁠ Thank you to the @night_worms organizers & @astounding_herbert_west for the review copy of this one!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #drherbertwest #lovecraftinspired #bookreviewer #bookblogger #bookcollector #constantreader #horrorbooks #horrorcomics #comicbooks #comiccollector #comiccollection #colorfulbooks #bookaesthetic #bookphotos #bookflatlay #ilovereading #booksaregreat

Are you a fan of creepy comics? I got this huge book as a gift a couple of years ago, and I've been reading through it again recently - IT'S SO WILD! Some of it is totally gross, but I can't look away!⁠ ⁠ What are your favorite comics? I love horror ones especially - Harrow County, Nailbiter, Wytches, and Locke & Key are some of my favorites!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #junjiito #uzumaki #horrorcomics #horrorcomicbooks #horrorfiction #scarybooks #comicbooks #bookcollection #bookcollector #booklover #bibliophile #booknerdigan #bookish

Hi there! These rainbow Stephen King books usually get people's attention when I share them, and I want your attention today:⁠ ⁠ BLACK LIVES MATTER. I would be absolutely remiss if I didn't use my small platform on here to speak out against the absolutely disgusting injustices going on in our country and within our society right now - and if that makes some people want to unfollow me for "getting political", then so be it.⁠ ⁠ I'm not here to make you comfortable, or to protect you from the very real and very ugly realities that Black people are facing - and have faced - every day of their lives. I'm here to use every ounce of privilege that I have to boost their voices up, and to help them be heard.⁠ ⁠ If you're able to, please do something. Donate to bail funds or organizations run by POC trying to make a change, amplify their voices however you can, LISTEN when Black people tell you what they need from us.⁠ ⁠ If you're of the belief that staying silent or remaining "unpolitical" is the right choice right now, please know that your ability to even make that "choice" is a sign of your privilege. Silence is Complicity. Remember that.⁠ ⁠ #blacklivesmatter #dowhatsright #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #stephenkingbooks #stephenking #stephenkingbookcollection #stephenkingrainbowbooks #rainbowbooks #rainbowbookstagram #bookcollection #bookcollector #constantreader #bookrainbow #rainbowbookstack #rainbowshelfie #bookshelfie

HOW FUN IS THIS?! I put my little short story on my Kindle so I could take a picture of it like the nerd that I am, haha.⁠ ⁠ I'm working on editing this one today so that I can submit it to a really cool project/event going on this summer - I've never submitted my writing anywhere, so I'm a little sick to my stomach about it from nerves!! I know rejection & criticism are all normal parts of writing, but I am also soft, so I know the first couple may be heavy hitting. Still, I'm tired of letting the fear of failure hold me back - I can't improve unless I go for it, right?!⁠ ⁠ If any of you are interested in possibly beta reading my future writings, please let me know! I'm going to be putting some heavy work in on my novella soon, and hope to have the first draft completed by fall. I'd love a few pairs of extra eyes at some point!!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #horrorfiction #horrorwriters #bibliophile #bookworm #booknerdigan #booknerd #bookish #bookphotos #digitalbooks #readyornot #bookstagram #constantreader #bookaddict #ilovereading #ilovewriting #writersofig #horrorwriting

HOW AWESOME IS THIS?! I got it in the mail yesterday from @sonorataylor and I'm so looking forward to reading it! I first read Sonora's work in her collection LITTLE PARANOIAS, and some of those stories still haunt me to this day - so good!⁠ ⁠ The synopsis for Seeing Things:⁠ "Abby Gillman has discovered that with growing up, there comes a lot of blood. But nothing prepares her for the trail of blood she sees in the hallway after class - or the ghost she finds crammed inside an abandoned locker.⁠ ⁠ No one believes Abby, of course. She’s only seeing things. As much as Abby wants to be believed, what she wants more is to know why she can suddenly see the dead. Unfortunately, they won’t tell her. In fact, none of them will speak to her. At all.⁠ ⁠ Abby leaves for her annual summer visit to her uncle’s house with tons of questions. The visit will give her answers the ghosts won’t - but she may not like what she finds out."⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookworm #booklover #booknerd #sonorataylor #horrorfiction #scarybooks #ilovereading #bookcollector #constantreader #bookmail #bookish #booklover #booklovers #bookclubofinstagram #readersofig #bookphotos #bookstagramphotos

THE FULL AUTHOR REVEAL IS LIVE!! Check out the 20 incredible authors that will be featured in my very first coloring book - out late this summer, so get your coloring gear ready!!⁠ ⁠ I'm so grateful for the support this project has received, and for the authors that have agreed to be a part of it - it wouldn't exist without each & every one of them!⁠ ⁠ I'll have features on my blog with book reviews & spotlights showing off some of these incredibly talented writers in the horror genre, and am so happy to spread the word & to promote some of my favs!!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #adultcoloringbook #horrorbooks #horrorfiction #horrorauthors #thebigbookofhorrorauthors #bigbookofhorrorauthors #horrorauthorscoloringbook #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookworm #bookcollector #constantreader #bookish #bookaddict #readersunite #bookclubsofig

Do you have very many books signed by the authors that wrote them? This was one of my 'lucky finds' - I stumbled upon this copy of WE SHOULD HAVE LEFT WELL ENOUGH ALONE by @ronaldmalfi in a used book shop shortly after joining bookstagram, and had to have it!⁠ ⁠ I also have some signed ARCs or copies sent for review, which I love - especially when the authors sending them draw tiny rainbows in the books! (This happens a lot, IT'S WONDERFUL, THANK YOU!) 🌈⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookcollector #bookcollection #constantreader #bibliophile #bookworm #booklover #bookaesthetic #bookishrainbow #bookrainbow #ronaldmalfi #horrorbooks #shortstorycollections #bookcollections #bookclubofig #readersofig #bookloversofig

4 Books That Made Me Cry Harder Than I’d Like to Admit

Are you an emotional media consumer? I seem to be weirdly fueled by things that hurt me, and I’ve noticed that even with my own writing, my aim as the writer seems to be to inflict emotional pain somehow. I’d think I was broken for it, if some of my favorite authors didn’t also do … Continue reading →
