Happy #FaceFriday, friends!! I'm using an old selfie today 'cause it is easier than pulling this book off the shelf & taking a new one - especially when I could just use that time instead to tell you to BUY THIS BOOK!⁠ ⁠ Pre-orders are available online, and it's out in August - so you've got some time to get that order in, AND can do so early enough to possibly forget you've done it & get a surprise package in the mail about 5 months from now! 😉⁠ ⁠ One of my favorite authors that I've read this year is @adamcesare, and I think I've finished... 4 of his books now? Every one has been just as good as the last, and I've even turned my boyfriend onto reading his books 'cause he's been listening to some of the audiobooks of Adam's books that I have on Audible!⁠ ⁠ This is one of my favorite books of the year so far, so you really shouldn't miss it!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #booklover #bookworm #clowninacornfield #adamcesare #bookish #booknerdigan #bookclubofig #amreading #bookcollector #constantreader #rainbowhair #unicornhair #bookcollection #ilovereading #ilovebooks #horrorbooks #horrorfiction

Let's talk about cool covers! How amazing are these?! I love when book series (or even standalones by the same author) have similar formatting and designs - it makes collecting them so satisfying!⁠ ⁠ When I got these two in the mail, I was immediately in love - just seeing a photo doesn't do these justice! They're so pretty!⁠ ⁠ A synopsis of the series (thank you to @theroaming_series for sending these my way!):⁠ ⁠ "Love and death, cruelty and kindness. How far will society fall when the old rules no longer apply? Mankind’s penchant for brutality is juxtaposed against those not willing to give up on the goodness inherent in all of us; even in the face of imminent extinction. The Roaming chronicles the journey of a disparate band of survivors as they travel a country on the brink of a descent into ruin."⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #theroaming #theroamingseries #horrorbooks #apocalypsebooks #constantreader #bookcollector #bibliophile #bookworm #bookcollection #booklovers #bookrainbow #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowshelfie

If you thought I was gonna pass up a selfie prompt for this month’s #nightwormschallenge, you were SO WRONG!! 😂 I’ve posted more of my face here in the last week that normal - is anyone else taking more selfies cause they’re cooped up inside or is it just me? 🤷‍♀️🤪 These are from yesterday, and I can’t really blame the quarantine for my behavior - this is just regular Cassie! 🤷‍♀️😂 #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookworm #booklover #bookish #booknerdigan #booknerd #booklover #girlswhoread #rainbowhair #unicornhair #bookstagramchallenge

I need to hear from people who have read this, please! Should I start it sooner, or is it one that's better off being pushed back on my TBR?⁠ ⁠ I have a few months of paused credit for @bookofthemonth 'cause I don't always like their offerings, and used one recently for this book 'cause I liked the cover & the synopsis sounded neat! I can't remember seeing it around here much though, so I'm hoping to hear good things from some of you who have read it!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #simonestjames #bookofthemonth #thrillerbooks #thesundownmotel #booklover #bookcollection #bookcollector #bibliophile #constantreader #rainbowshelfie #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowbookshelves #bookclub #bookclubofig #thrillerfiction

I was tagged a couple days ago by @mother.horror to share a “currently reading selfie”, and I finally got around to taking one today! My recent reading has gone down a bunch - can anyone else relate? I read 25 books in January, but only 3 this entire month! I’m reminding myself that it’s okay though cause I’ve been productive in other ways. 🥰 I’m reading these two (plus THEME MUSIC, which you can partially see in the photo) right now & am loving being absorbed by the stories!! 🌈 What are YOU reading right now? #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookworm #booklover #bookcollector #constantreader #booknerd #bookish #ilovebooks #bookofthemonth #bookselfie #selfiesforbookstagram

Hi! This is one of my all-time favorite books, and I remember reading it as a kid and being totally blown away by the ending. Obviously, reading it as an adult (and knowing the story by heart) doesn't pack quite the same punch, but it's still one of my favs - I'll never part with it!⁠ ⁠ AND HOW COOL IS THIS COVER? Seriously, these old Pike books are some of my FAVORITES! Bright colors, cheesy/creepy art - it's perfect! It reminds me of a more adult version of the Goosebumps books, haha.⁠ ⁠ Who else loves Christopher Pike books? Tell me your favorite & let's bond over it!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #Booklover #bookcollector #bibliophiles #christopherpike #christopherpikebooks #bookcollection #rainbowbooks #horrorfiction #roadtonowhere #yafiction #yahorror #yabooks #rainbowshelfie #rainbowbookshelf

I shared a blog post recently with a review of STIRRING THE SHEETS by Chad Lutzke, so I thought it was an appropriate time to reshare this photo! I can't remember if I posted it here or just on Twitter, and if it's a repeat, oh well! Lmao.⁠ ⁠ If you haven't read Lutzke, you're seriously missing out. He has a way of writing such incredibly emotional horror - I've legitimately teared up a time or two in his books, they're so powerful! They range in subject matter, but Lutzke's talent as a writer is consistent throughout. One of my favorites!⁠ ⁠ What are your favorite Chad Lutzke books? I just recently got THE NEON OWL and can't wait to read it! The cover is gorgeous - I'll share mine on here soon!⁠ ⁠ The #bookhaul bookmark is part of a bookstagram hashtag set available in my Etsy (link in bio!).⁠ ⁠ The shark and pointer finger skeleton hand are by the wonderful @astrangerdream! ⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #chadlutzke #horrorfiction #horrorwriters #ilovereading #bookcollector #Bibliophile #bookish #booknerdigan #constantreader #booklover #ilovebooks #ilovereading #stirringthesheets #horrornovella

Sorry if you're sick of seeing my colorful shelves, but I love them! I took this one from an angle I normally don't get to, and you can see my beautiful Christopher Pike collection!! He's my favorite and has been since I was about 10. I love rereading his books for the nostalgia I feel, and those covers!! So good.⁠ ⁠ What are some authors you've been reading the longest?⁠ ⁠ #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookworm #booklover #booknerdigan #bookshelf #shelfie #bookshelfie #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowbookshelfie #rainbowshelfie #christopherpike #christopherpikebooks #bookcollection #bookcollector #constantreader #rainbowbooks

What’s your favorite Dark Tower series book? I’m working my way through the series for the first time, and am just starting book 3! I loved the second one a lot - it was more established and felt more emotional than the first, which seemed to throw a lot of new info at me at once. 😂 I’m so excited to finish! #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookworm #booklover #booknerd #bookish #bookcollector #stephenking #thedarktower #darktower #thewastelands #bookclub #amreading #bookishlove #constantreader #stephenkingbooks #bookcollection #rainbowbooks

6 Collections of Horror Poetry That I Love

I’ve been reading poetry for as long as I can remember. When I was little, I’d read classic poets, and still have a huge fondness for them. I have two poetry-based tattoos – one with a line by Robert Frost, and the other a line from a Bukoswki poem. I dabbled in writing a bit … Continue reading →
