Omg! So I was going through my feed, and realized that I never posted this photo to it - I only posted it to my stories!! This is totally tragic, 'cause this photo (and the things in it) are AMAZING!⁠ ⁠ Huge thank you to @atbpublishing, who sent me a special birthday rainbow of my very own! I already had the Buffy book (they'd sent it previously and it's SO GOOD), so having the rest of the OUTSIDE IN collection is super cool!!⁠ ⁠ If you're not familiar with the series, ATB has put together a bunch of books with contributions on some our favorite fandoms - like Buffy!!, Doctor Who, Star Trek, and more! It's so cool reading the different takes on things I'm so familiar with; I'd highly recommend them (and anything else they put out tbh, they also have some cool magnets and merch!!).⁠ ⁠ YAY BIRTHDAY RAINBOWS! 🌈🌈⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookrainbow #bookstack #rainbowbooks #rainbowbookstack #rainbowshelfie #rainbowbookshelf #atbpublishing #bookcollector #constantreader #unicorn #bookish #booklover #bookworm #booknerdigan #bookaesthetic #booklovers #bookshark #bookblogger

How many of you have read this one? It's been on my shelf for over a year and I still haven't, and I want to but... something's been stopping me!⁠ ⁠ Who wants to read this in November with me? We can start it on the 1st, read it at our own pace, and chat about it - 'cause I've heard it gets pretty intense!⁠ ⁠ I'd really love to get to this one before the year finishes up but I'm afraid that I won't do it alone! Any takers?! Summary below:⁠ ⁠ "Trapped in the Mexican jungle, a group of friends stumble upon a creeping horror unlike anything they could ever imagine.⁠ ⁠ Two young couples are on a lazy Mexican vacation–sun-drenched days, drunken nights, making friends with fellow tourists. When the brother of one of those friends disappears, they decide to venture into the jungle to look for him. What started out as a fun day-trip slowly spirals into a nightmare when they find an ancient ruins site . . . and the terrifying presence that lurks there."⁠ ⁠ So... who's with me?! Let me know!! #thanksgivingruinsreadalong ?! Hahah.⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booklover #bibliophile #bookworm #bookshark #constantreader #scottsmith #theruins #readalong #bookstagramreadalong #buddyread #bookcollector #bookobsession #supporthorror #horrorbooks #spookyseason #rainbowshelfie #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowbooks⁠ ⁠ ⁠

I am so into match-y match-y things, friends. These covers are beautiful! I was so excited to open my @night_worms package and see these! Jonathan Janz is one of my faaaavorite writers, and I'd never read anything by Brian Keene before, so this was a great intro to receive!⁠ ⁠ The last package was themed "A STORM IS COMING", and the stuff inside it was super cool! The rainbow tabs especially were bananas useful to me, 'cause those are the exact ones I normally use and I'd misplaced my own, hahaha.⁠ ⁠ Are you a @night_worms subscriber? You should be! Each month it's like a spooky little Christmas at your doorstep, and I love it! You can also pause/cancel at any time - I personally had to take a couple months break after their first package, but I was able to restart my subscription and pick right back up where I left off when I was able to!⁠ ⁠ I'd HIGHLY recommend signing up before the end of the year - we're approaching the 1 Year anniversary of their boxes, and I bet they've got some really cool stuff in store for us! You can even find a code from one of their reps probably if you look into it! (Speaking of reps, I have a big announcement coming soon with the ones I've chosen for my art, YAY! Thanks to everyone for being patient while I sorted through all your entries, and for your endless support!)⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #booklover #jonathanjanz #briankeene #supporthorror #nightworms #horrorsubscriptionbox #booksubscription #bookish #booklover #bookworm #bookshark #bookaesthetic #constantreader #shelfie #rainbowshelfie #bookrainbow #rainbowbookshelf #bookcollector #bookhoarder #booklovers

I love the cover of this one so much! Who else can spot a Daniele Serra cover the second they see it? How is every single one he does SO cool and creepy and wonderful?! I'm having a fangirl moment, friends.⁠ ⁠ I got this one from @dbhfiction, who is a pretty rad guy and one I'd suggest befriending here in the bookstagramosphere! This is the first book of his I'll be reading, and it sounds super good!⁠ ⁠ This one is supposed to be the first in a "serialized adventure horror epic" called Nightmareland, which I am 100% here for, ya'll. Full book summary below!⁠ ⁠ "Tomorrow died on the last morning of May. There were those who saw it happen, who watched the shadow fall, who felt the chop of the guillotine as the world lost its head. Everyone else witnessed only the aftermath, for the event itself lasted no longer than a moment. They stepped outside from windowless rooms, they climbed up from crowded subways, they pulled back the blinds to let in the sun, and found the nightmare waiting for them.⁠ ⁠ But the dark is only the beginning."⁠ ⁠ 💀💀💀💀⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookrainbow #bookaesthetic #nightfall #danielbarnett #danieleserra #supporthorror #promotehorror #bookstagrammer #rainbowbooks #rainbowshelfie #rainbowbookshelf #constantreader #booklover #bookworm #bookshark #bookaesthetic #bookcollector ⁠ ⁠ ⁠

I sometimes hesitate to post things that aren't horror or spooky, because so many of the people I follow and admire on here are heavily into the horror type stuff.⁠ ⁠ That said, I always convince myself to just "do you, booboo", even if "you" isn't 100% spooky, 100% of the time - or, maybe it is, but only inside your dark little heart like me! 😉⁠ ⁠ This is one of my "contemporary" genre books, and one I haven't actually read yet! I picked it up on my trip to England last year at a Waterstones 'cause the cover was way cooler than the ones I'd seen in the US bookstores. I just love that teal background against the flames so much!!⁠ ⁠ What genres do you read? Or post about? Is it mostly just one, or a mix? I even follow some people that are specific to a single author and I'm always impressed by the dedication! I guess that's how I am with rainbows, haha. 🌈⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookworm #bibliophile #booknerd #booklover #bookish #bookaddict #bookphotography #igreads #bookaholic #bookstagrammer #bookblogger #booksofinstagram #booknerdigans #rainbowbooks #rainbowshelfie #celesteng #littlefireseverywhere #contemporarybooks #amreading #bookporn #lovereading #booklovers

Today is #worldmentalhealthday, and while I don’t save my mental health talk for a single day of the year only, I do think it’s very important to spread awareness as often as possible - including hashtag days, yay!! 🙌 I suffer from terrible anxiety, depression, and borderline personality disorder. I don’t usually talk about that last one to people who aren’t extremely close to me, but unfortunately, as part of the disorder heavily impacts my ability to actually have close relationships with people, that ends up meaning I don’t really talk about it very often. BPD is characterized by unstable and volatile relationships with people, mainly because it impacts how you think about the people around you (and yourself). Living with the disorder can include - but is definitely not limited to - having an unstable self-image, trouble regulating emotions, severe fear of abandonment (or perceived abandonment), impulsive and self-destructive behaviors, and constant, overwhelming feelings of emptiness. That all sounds pretty awful, right? And it is! It has been for most of my life, and I imagine that it’ll continue to be well into my future. No mental health issues are easy, and so many of us are struggling inside ourselves in so many different ways. Awfulness aside, my anxiety and my depression, and even my BPD are just little parts of who I am. And even with those parts, I’m still worth knowing, and I’m still deserving of love and kindness. The harsher parts of who I am, the ones that have been made rough by bad thoughts or poor choices or angry actions - those parts may be more apparent sometimes, but they aren’t all I am. I’m still strong, and kind, and loving, and I can still be soft - albeit maybe a different, rougher kind of soft than I may have expected. In case you need a reminder: You aren’t broken or bad because of your mental health issues, and you still deserve to be loved. 💖 (PS - look at my library haul!) 📚 #bookstagrammer #constantreader #librarybooks #bookworm #booknerd #bookcollector #rainbowhair #mentalhealthawareness #librarybooks #readersofinsta #bookclubofinstagram

I still can't get over how pretty these two books by @scottthomascaresaboutyou look next to each other! They have their own distinct vibes (and are about totally different things!), but when you look at them together, they just look like they belong, don't they? I love it!⁠ ⁠ I'm working on a blog post inspired by a friend who suggested I put together a list of authors / books to check out if you're into Stephen King. A lot of my real-life friends seem to have read at least one King book, so it sounds like a great way to share some of my other favorite authors in the horror genre that they may also be into but just haven't heard about (yet!).⁠ ⁠ I'll be sharing the list soon, and guess who one of my 10 authors is gonna be? Spoiler: this post is a hint! 😉⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #scottthomas #violet #killcreek #supporthorror #promotehorror #constantreader #stephenking #rainbowbooks #bookblogger #rainbowshelfie #rainbowbookshelf #bookcollector #booklover #bookaesthetic #bookclubofig #bookish #bookishbynature #ilovereading #horrorbooks #spookyseason #halloween #october⁠ ⁠

How do you organize your TBRs? Do you plan in advance, or just pull whatever strikes your fancy in the moment from off of the shelf? Recently, I'll admit, I tend to prioritize ARCs sent to me - like this gorgeous beauty right here! I don't accept every review request sent, so the ones I do get in the mail are typically always ones I want to dive into ASAP. For this reason, I'm usually reading about 4 - 5 books at a time. Short story collections take me the longest to read, because I've found that if I rush through them, the individual stories stand out from one another less. So I read a couple, then wait a bit - maybe read something in between to cleanse my palate with another writer's "voice" - and then I go back and read a few more! Does anyone else do this? Synopsis for CLOUDED BY ENVY (which is not a collection, I just went on a totally unrelated ramble, sorry, hahaha): "Brenik has always been envious of his twin sister, Bray. Growing up as fairy-like creatures, known as bats, everything came easier to Bray. While Brenik spent his time in her shadows, never feeling he was enough. After escaping their world of Laith, and living on Earth for ten years, Brenik attempts to strike a deal with the Stone of Desire to become human. Though true humanity is not an option, he will accept the curse that will alter him to get as close as he can. Living in a tree trunk for the past year hasn’t been easy for Bray, more so after her brother disappears again. When a human boy and his brother, Wes, find her, a new friendship is struck. Through Wes, Bray learns there can be more to life than waiting within a tree. But worrying over where Brenik has vanished to always remains in the back of her mind. When Bray reunites with Brenik, she realizes she must help him break the curse after she discovers the need for blood is beginning to overpower him. The curse not only damages those who get close to Brenik, but it could also destroy whatever is blooming between Bray and Wes." #bookstagram #booklover #bookcollector #constantreader #readersofig #rainbowbooks #rainbowshelfie #rainbowbookshelf #cloudedbyenvy #girlswhoread #bookworm #bibliophile #bookaddict #instabook
