How freaking gorgeous is this book!? It was a birthday gift from my boyfriend, and it's one of my favorite King covers that I own!⁠ ⁠ Does anyone else collect the Barnes & Noble "leather bound classics editions"? I don't have a lot of them, but couldn't pass this one up! I actually went to two different locations to find it, and had them put it on hold in between so it wouldn't get sold!⁠ ⁠ Of these, I've actually only read Carrie! Don't @ me, bros - I have a lot of King books, and am slowly but surely making my way through, I promise. I like to vary my reading a lot though, and I've found so many wonderful authors in the last couple years that I've gotta spread the love!⁠ ⁠ If anyone was interested, I was planning on reading The Shining for the first time next month! Would anyone wanna participate in an official readalong? 🤔⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #stephenking #constantreader #booklover #barnesandnoble #leatherboundclassics #stephenkingbooks #rainbowbookshelf #bookshelf #shelfie #rainbowshelfie #bookcollector #booklover #bookworm #booknerd

Looking for something new to spice up your #bookstagram photos? Or maybe looking for something to use in a giveaway, or as a gift for a bookstagram-loving pal?⁠ ⁠ I sell these sets of Bookstagram Hashtag bookmarks in my Etsy! I also sell a Hamilton musical bookmark set - if you're into that sort of thing (which I very much am - tbh, I created a majority of my designs and bookmarks just 'cause they're things I loved and wanted to use or have around!)⁠ ⁠ I'm also doing a giveaway over on Twitter right now where if you subscribe to my newsletter, you'll be entered to win one of TWO (2!) prizes for $10 gift certificates in my Etsy shop! So go enter - my Twitter is @ ctrlaltcassie!⁠ ⁠ What other hashtag-type things do you think would make good bookmarks? I may add a customizable option once I go back to 3 jobs and have a bit more free time, so you can pick and choose what you want your set to say! 🤔⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #bookmarks #makersgonnamake #shescrafty #shophandmade #smallbusiness #indiebusiness #artstagram #bookstagrammer #booklover #bookishmerch #bookish #bookshark #bookworm #booknerd #booknerdigan #currentlyreading #bookhaul #bookreview #girlswhoread

I NEED EVERYONE TO READ THIS BOOK. I finished it a week or two ago on my Kindle, and immediately bought the physical version 'cause I knew I needed to own it and have it on my shelves.⁠ •⁠ I love the cover so much! Those colors are so pretty, right? Ahhh!⁠ •⁠ The story is also amazing - I was immediately pulled in, and didn't put the book down except to drive somewhere once I started it. The dialogue is great, the characters are well developed and fun to read, and the story is just so good. There are a couple twists, and I had no idea how things would be wrapped up, but I looooved it so much.⁠ •⁠ I'll have a full review up on my blog soon, but for now: get this one! You can get it on Kindle Unlimited, or just buy a copy so it can look pretty on your shelves when you're done reading!⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booklover #bookworm #bookshark #bookcollector #crickethunters #horrorfiction #supporthorror #silvershamrockpublishing #constantreader #bookcollector #jeremyhepler #booklove #bookaesthetic #indiehorror #rainbowshelfie #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowbooks

How cute is this little Doctor Who set? The collection is called the Time Lord Fairy Tales, and includes a bunch of little stories told to little time lords as children.⁠ ⁠ I loved the different stories, and love that each book is so beautifully illustrated and colored! Rainbow book stacks will always have my heart, and this slipcase edition is gorgeous!⁠ ⁠ Do you like Doctor Who? Which Doctor is your favorite? 9 is my forever fav, but there aren't any I particularly dislike. I just love 9's sassiness!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookcollector #bookaesthetic #bookworm #booknerdigan #bookshark #constantreader #rainbowshelfie #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowbooks #doctorwho #doctorwhobooks #timelordfairytales #rainbowbookstack #booklover

Ever notice that some posts get way more likes than others? Stacks of Stephen King books, for example, do super well!⁠ •⁠ Meanwhile, books by lesser known authors receive less attention - and this can sometimes be disheartening, but look. Why did any of us join bookstagram to begin with? It wasn't to get followers or likes on our posts, really - it was to make bookish friends, and to talk about bookish stuff, right? I mean, that's why I joined - and why I'm still here!⁠ •⁠ So, here's a stack that likely won't get a bunch of likes on the post, but that I've been collecting since I was a teenager and have a special soft fondness for - despite that they're vampire/werewolf/creature-and-human erotic fiction very loosely disguised as a "feminist action packed thriller" series. 😂⁠ •⁠ Who else has read some of these? Or who else just really doesn't care if their post will get 50 likes or 500 -- they're gonna share the books they want to share!⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookworm #booklover #booknerdigan #bookshark #bookcollector #constantreader #anitablake #anitablakevampirehunter #laurellkhamilton #vampirebooks #horrorfiction #supernaturalbooks #ilovereading #booknerds #bookclubofig⁠

I couldn’t go with anyone else for my #nightwormschallenge Day 6 photo. The theme is One Author Book Stack, and I’ve been collecting these since I was 9 years old! 😍 • I was introduced to so many new things through Christopher Pike as a child by his books that I went on to learn more about as an adult, and it’s so cool being able to trace back certain interests or hobbies because of his stories! • My favorites are: Road to Nowhere, Bury Me Deep, The Immortal, and The Starlight Crystal! Horror and sci-fi and mythology, oh my! 💦💦💦 • Have you read any of my favs, or any of these in general? Tell me!! • • • #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookworm #bookshark #booknerdigan #booklover #rainbowbookstack #rainbowbooks #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowshelfie #constantreader #bookaesthetic #christopherpike #christopherpikebooks

How cool is this cover? I got this book in my last @night_worms subscription package, and it's one I'm really looking forward to reading!⁠ •⁠ The collection features stories about witches and witchcraft by popular women authors - some popular horror favs in there as well, like Ania Ahlborn, Alma Katsu, and Jennifer McMahon. Amber Benson - Tara from Buffy!! - is also a contributing author! How cool is that?!⁠ •⁠ Supporting women writers is one of my favorite parts of being in the bookish community, primarily those who write horror! The writing industry - horror, sci-fi, and even fantasy - are so heavily dominated by male authors. Having more equal representation is amazing, and this special collection is exactly the kind of thing I'm proud to be a Night Worms supporter of!⁠ •⁠ Have you read this one yet? What are some other witch-y books you've loved?⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #hexlife #witchybooks #constantreader #booklover #bookworm #bookshark #booknerd #rainbowshelf #rainbowbooks #rainbowshelfie #rainbowbookshelf #horrorfiction #womeninfiction #bookcollector #nightworms⁠

I made a TBR stack for November! Better late than never, right?⁠ •⁠ A couple of these are buddy reads, and I'm really excited! If anyone wants to read along with me while I make my way through this stack this month, let me know!⁠ •⁠ I'm reading IMAGINARY FRIEND with a few of my @night_worms buddies - shout outs to @thehorrorhypothesis and @thebookdad!⁠ •⁠ I'm going to be reviewing SONGS FROM THE DEEP as a part of Simon & Schuster's blog tour! Look out for my post on the 13th of this month!⁠ •⁠ This is also my first time reading THE RUINS, so if you want to join me on my #thanksgivingruinsreadalong! The more the merrier, and I've heard it's brutal!⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookworm #booklover #bookcollector #bookstack #booknerdigan #bookshark #bookaesthetic #bookrainbow #rainbowshelfie #rainbowbookshelf #ihavethisthingwithcolor #constantreader #horrorbooks #scarybooks

I'm catching up on tags - finally! I was tagged for the #sentencebookstack by so many people - hi to @thebookdad, @mother.horror, @thehorrorhypothesis, and @readlingoctopus714 for the shout outs! Please keep tagging me in things even if it takes me 400 years to finally particpate! I love it!⁠ •⁠ I was a little loose with mine, and it ended up sounding kinda short-ominous-poem-y, hahaha. I wanted to see how many books I could use! I ended up making 2 stacks but this is the one I liked better. Maybe I'll share my second sentence at some point?!⁠ •⁠ "I'm thinking of ending things; in the meantime, if you see her remains choking back the devil on the night border, trust no one." •⁠ Thanks to the tagged (and untagged!) authors for having great titles that I could try to make a sentence out of! This one was fun - I tagged a few people to join in, but if you've already done it, just ignore me! It's hard to keep track!⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstack #booklover #bookworm #bookaesthetic #bookcollector #constantreader #rainbowbooks #rainbowshelfie #rainbowbookshelf #bookaddict #lovereading #girlswhoread #bookish #booknerdigan #ilovebooks #supporthorror #promotehorror #horrorfiction by

I’ve got lots and lots of books on my TBR – so many, I doubt I’ll ever finish everything I want to read before I’m either too old to see properly, or dead. Wow, that was a bleak way to start a blog post – let’s start over! I’m VERY HAPPY to have so many options for … Continue reading →

Another month, another TBR! I’m really excited for so many of these, as a majority of them are recommended by my friends whose opinions I value a lot in the bookish community.

Try-A-Chapter Challenge #1: Haunted Houses

Posted by Let's Get Galactic on May 25, 2019 · 5 Comments

I’m always excited for new things, and new blog post themes / challenges are no exception! I’d seen variations of this challenge floating around but didn’t have an idea of how to incorporate it into a regular blog feature until seeing Destiny’s over on her blog. I was immediately inspired, and held a poll on … Continue reading →

TBR: What I’m Reading in January 2019

Posted by Let's Get Galactic on January 1, 2019 · 9 Comments

I decided to start off the year by being as ambitious and extra as ever – I’ll be reading a book over 1,000 pages, and I’m participating in FOUR group/buddy reads, including a 7 month group readalong of the entire Harry Potter series. I also want to read a couple of ARCs I’ve received recently if … Continue reading →
