Another Sunday, another #rainbowshelfie! I hope you're all doing okay, and staying safe & healthy. 💖⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookshelfie #shelfie #rainbowshelfie #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowshelf #stephenkingbooks #stephenking #stephenkingrainbow #rainbowbooks #hodderstephenking #hodderrainbow #thedarktower #bookcollection #bookcollector #constantreader #bookrainbow

How do you feel about movie tie-in covers? I normally avoid them, but have made a few exceptions!⁠ ⁠ This is one of them! If you're unfamiliar, 'Party Monster' is an early 2000s movie based on a book that was originally called 'Disco Bloodbath'. It's the real-life memoir of club kid James St. James, and is about his friend Michael Alig, who murdered his drug dealer. It's a bananas story, and the movie is one of my favorites and has been since I was a teenager!⁠ ⁠ Have any of you read this? I mostly tend to share stuff that I feel will 'do well' on bookstagram, but lately have just been trying to share stuff I really love or am excited for - regardless of how many likes it gets. That said, this may be totally unfamiliar to everyone following me - and if so, I implore you to check this one out! It's a TRUE STORY, and it's so wild!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #partymonster #discobloodbath #michaelalig #jamesstjames #booklover #bookcollector #movietiein #colorfulbooks #ihavethisthingwithcolor #booklovers #bookcollection #constantreader #clubkids

IT’S FIND A RAINBOW DAY!!! This is possibly my most favorite prompt for a bookstagram challenge ever, omg! Thanks to @night_worms for such a fun month of prompts so far!! #nightwormschallenge I’m using this one cause I love the colorful cover, and also love showing off my rainbow annotation tools that I use when reading & marking up my books! Love Grady Hendrix’s writing so much - this one is his only one that I haven’t read yet, and I’m excited to start since finding out that it takes place in the same town as THE SOUTHERN BOOK CLUB’S GUIDE TO SLAYING VAMPIRES! #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booklover #bookrainbow #gradyhendrix #mbfe #mybestfriendsexorcism #booklove #bookshowcase #supporthorror #horrorfiction #constantreader #tbr #nowreading #bookcollector

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 know you’re probably hearing this all over the place right now, but wow! How has 2019 flown by so fast? At the same time, holy shit! How has so much happened? I started this year in a totally different place than I’m ending it, and although it’s a definite improvement in nearly every aspect, it’s been quite … Continue reading →

Weekly Wrap-Up: September 1, 2019

It’s been a busy week, and I have an even busier month ahead! Today I went back to my fourth job, with a couple small changes from last time – like a new Lead role, and instead of painting workshops, I’ll be teaching chunky knit blanket classes! Aside from the work changes, I’ve got lots … Continue reading →

McCafferty @ Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco

Posted by Let's Get Galactic on August 28, 2019 · 1 Comment

So, briefly before my little mental health hiatus, I posted about my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands – McCafferty. After that post, I drove with my roommate to San Francisco from our duplex in east Sacramento to see them perform live, and it was sooooo good! To preface the journey, let’s just say that … Continue reading →

I think I’m maybe officially in my first reading slump of 2019?! I made it over halfway without this and yet, here we are, with me barely having read anything recently! In my defense, I’ve been working and stressing over life stuff, but that has started to lessen a bit, and will continue getting better, … Continue reading →

This week has gone by sooo fast! I’ve worked every day, and we’ve had a bunch of events going on at work so it’s been pretty hectic. I’m very glad I had the foresight to schedule these blog posts ahead of time, or else this recap would’ve been a lot shorter, haha. I’ve been feeling … Continue reading →
