It's been awhile since I shared a full rainbow stack, and these Hodder books are some of my very favorite editions. I'm very thankful to bookstagram for introducing me to these - they're so perfectly my aesthetic that they feel like they were made for me!! 🌈🌈🌈🌈⁠ ⁠ Who are your most-owned authors? King is obviously up there for me, and I have over half an entire 5-level bookshelf dedicated to his stuff! That's nothing compared to some of you though - some of my bookish pals have ENTIRE WALLS of books of his! Different editions and printings and wow! So impressive!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #shelfiesunday #sundayshelfie #bookstack #rainbowbookstack #stephenking #hodderstephenking #hodderbooks #rainbowbooks #rainbowstephenking #stephenkingbooks #constantreader #booklover #bookaesthetic #rainbowaesthetic #bookish #bookclubofig #bookclub #bibliophile #bookloversunite

Isn't this book cover gorgeous? And that's WITHOUT the sleeve! IT'S THE ACTUAL BOOK! I got this one from the library for $1, and it's one of my favorites for the cover (although it's one of the King books I haven't read yet!).⁠ ⁠ Have you read LISEY'S STORY? Would you recommend me reading it, or are there others I should prioritize first? I'm going along with the #chronologicallyking readalong, and am not sure where this falls in!⁠ ⁠ PS - you can buy one of my Stephen King art prints or bookmarks in my Etsy!

It's that time again, friends! Happy #FaceFriday from me to all of you!⁠ ⁠ This week's face is a special edition one: I took the #ToonMeChallenge & doodled a little half-Cassie to show art vs artist!⁠ ⁠ What do you think?! I'm planning to do more digital art in the future, and am going to be offering CUSTOM DIGITAL PORTRAITS in my shop! Stay tuned for more news this weekend!⁠ ⁠ Thank you forevz to @brianamorganbooks for the hashtag inspiration! Make sure you all tag me if you participate so I can see your beautiful faces!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #rainbowhair #artvsartist #toonme #bookworm #booklover #girlswhoread #meetthebookstagrammer #ihavethisthingwithcolor #colorful #rainbowseverywhere #colormehappy #constantreader #bookish #bookcollector

How cool is this little Jonathan Janz bookmark?! I obviously had to stand him up next to a stack of books by the actual author!⁠ ⁠ I've loved every single book that I've read by @jonathan.janz, and his books are always on my radar when new releases come out! Big thanks to @flametreepress for some of these books, and for having so many great authors and books to read!⁠ ⁠ Get your own little Janz from @astrangerdream's shop! Her bookmarks are great quality, and have some super cool art!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookworm #booklover #bookish #jonathanjanz #flametreepress #astrangerdream #bookish #booknerd #bookshelf #booklove #bookcollector #bookcollection #horrorfiction #horrorbooks #constantreader #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowshelfie

I've been trying to branch out a bit genre wise with my #branchout2020 project, and this is one of the titles I've done it with this year! I'm not normally a big historical fiction / contemporary type person, but I'd heard so many good things about THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO, and wanted to give it a shot!⁠ ⁠ I grabbed this one on Audible, and LOVED it so much, omg! I'd HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this one as an audiobook if you can, because the cast was so compelling and entertaining. The book itself is great too though, even just reading - I had a copy from the library that I had to return (before getting it on Audible), so when it came time for my BotM pick, I knew what I had to do!⁠ ⁠ Fun fact: the author, Taylor Jenkins Reid, also wrote DAISY JONES & THE SIX! That's another one I'd very much recommend listening to if you can, 'cause the way the characters and story format come to life when listening is UNREAL. Both books are so good, and feature some really interesting and well crafted characters. I'll happily read all of Taylor's other & future releases for sure!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #audible #bookofthemonth #bookcollector #booklover #constantreader #bibliophile #evelynhugo #thesevenhusbandsofevelynhugo #taylorjenkinsreid #bookcollection #bookclubofig #bookclubs #audiblereading #audiobooks #contemporary #historicalfiction #fictionbooks #recommendedreading #bookobsession #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowshelfie

Reminder that if you want a bookmark to go with your copy of THE SEA WAS A FAIR MASTER by @calvindemmer, you can get one in my Etsy shop! Link in my profile!⁠ ⁠ You NEED to read this collection of flash fiction if you haven't already! It's got a little bit of everything - lots of horror, some sci-fi, blood, zombies, pain, death, Christmas!, the ocean - so much! It's such a varied collection, and so good. One of my favorites, and one of my most recommended titles to people looking for new books!⁠ ⁠ There's a full review on my blog & Goodreads, but really, just go straight to buy the thing - you won't regret it! 🦈⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #theseawasafairmaster #calvindemmer #shortfiction #horrorfiction #horrorbooks #ilovebooks #ilovereading #watercolorart #bookmarks #bookcollector #constantreader #booklover #bibliophile #bookworm #bookclubofig

Who else loves a good readalong or buddy read? With the #nightwormsbookparty group of folks, I'm able to enjoy this feeling of almost book club-y goodness, and it's so awesome!⁠ ⁠ I'll have individual posts showing each of these off with my ratings soon, but wanted to give a little cover love to the two cuties I'm in the middle of reading now with my @night_worms crew!⁠ ⁠ THE GREEN KANGAROOS by Jessica McHugh is described as "sci-fi / horror", dealing with drugs and addiction. I saw it compared in a review to "Transpotting meets A Clockwork Orange meets The Matrix" (thanks @dangerslater for the GR quote!), which is all up in my alley, so I am really excited to read it!⁠ ⁠ And then we have WHISPERS IN THE DARK, by Laurel Hightower, and this is one of my current "most recommended" by friends that I own! I've heard it talked about as a supernatural horror/thriller, which are some of my fav genres to read. I tried not to read too much about it 'cause I've heard going in blind is fun!⁠ ⁠ Have you read either of these? Follow along with our book parties with the #nightwormsbookparty hashtag! This is like our... 6th? Or 7th? And each one is just as much fun as the last! Love the folks I'm reading with, and biggest thank yous to the people who contribute these books to our parties for our honest horror loving reviews!⁠ ⁠ #nightworms #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookworm #bookstagramming #booklover #whispersinthedark #thegreenkangaroos #jessicamchugh #laurelhightower #ladiesofhorrorfiction #womeninhorrormonth #womeninhorror #ilovereading #horrorbooks #bookcollector #constantreader #rainbowshelfie #rainbowbookshelf

Who else has someone in their life that understands that books are the way to your heart on gift-giving holidays? 😍⁠ ⁠ My boyfriend got me the latest addition to the Wayward Children series by Seanan McGuire, and I'm so excited to read it! I'd looked forward to this release for about a year, and then when it came out last month, I was on a book buying ban!⁠ ⁠ So grateful for the gift, and just for having someone I love that understands me and what I like! 😍⁠ ⁠ I'd highly HIGHLY recommend this series! It's so good - and each book is novella length, so it's quick to get through, too!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #waywardchildrenseries #seananmcguire #bookgifts #bookcollector #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowbooks #rainbowshelfie #constantreader #booklover #bookworm #booknerd #bookaddict #cometumblingdown

Hi friends! If you’ve been following my stories or me on Twitter, you’ll have seen that the last few weeks have been a struggle for me mentally. My anxiety and depression tend to show off when I’m least expecting it, and this time, I’ve had a lot of trouble pulling myself out of my bad head space. Last night, for the first time in years, I sat at my computer and started to write. I have so much insecurity, so much self doubt, so many reasons for why I CANT do things - I’ll be bad, they’ll suck, everyone will laugh at me! But I started to write anyway, and would you believe that I quickly lost track of time and spent almost FOUR HOURS getting stuff down??? 😳😳 I’m not sure at what point I’ll share my writing - it’s mostly horror in genre, with some other elements im noticing as I go - if I do at all. But the feeling of actually doing it has been so wonderful, and I’m feeling a bit better today than I have in the last 2 weeks. So here’s to hoping!! And here’s another #facefriday, inspired by my gorgeous girl @brianamorganbooks. I missed last week cause of my bad brains, but here I am!! 🌈🥰 #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookworm #girlswhoread #booklover #constantreader #rainbowhair #colorfulhair #unicornhair #mermaidhair #bookclubofig #readersunite #ilovebooks #bookcollector
