✨Q: How did you meet your best friend(s)? . 💚 My best friends are in my family, so I’ve known them a long time! My cousin, who I’ve known since I was born, my amazing Mum, my Dad, who is one of my favourite people to chat to, my brother and my sister in law who worked with me before my brother stole her away to be his wife (ok, he didn’t steal her far, we kept working together for many many years!). I won’t include my husband because I like him way more than a friend 😉😂 . 💜 Challenges: #aprilbookstagram19 : Floral #creativebookstagram : Mums: Friendship . . . #bookstagram #theravenboys #booklover #bookphoto #bibliophile #reader #lovebooks #alwaysreading #booksbooksbooks #bookhoarder #bookdragon #bookworm #igreads #thebookstagram #floral #friendships #bookworms #bookloversunite

✨Q: Do you like stories told from the villain’s point of view? What are some of your favourites? . 🖤 I love them! I finally read Fairest of All recently and really enjoyed it. Sea Witch is also one of my absolute favourites! . 🖤 Challenges: #bookstamumsapril19 : Black stack #fireheartapr19 : morally grey . . . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstack #bookpile #snowwhite #fairestofall #bookish #bookphotography #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #booksofinstagram #booklover #bookaddict #igreads #bookdragon #alwaysreading #bookshelf

✨Q: Are you the adventurous type? If you stumbled across a strange door that could lead to another land, would you open it? . 💚 I would have such a dilemma, I am the most curious person alive and have to know EVERYTHING, but I’m also not very brave 😄 . 💚 Many thanks to @smithpublicity for sending me a copy of Band of Shadows by @hailess for review, I’m really looking forward to reading it! Synopsis below: 📖 “Scarlet has no idea who she is. And after spending nearly a decade in the foster system, she has never quite felt like she belonged. In fact, for the first seventeen years of her life she didn't even know her last name. Night after night, she is plagued by a dream of a strange-looking door. Until finally, she stumbles upon that very door and is thrust into another realm, a place unlike anything she has ever seen. Now alone in the unknown world of Avalon, a land where the plants have healing powers, the birds play games, and the trees hide the most valuable secrets, Scarlet meets Morgana, the island's enigmatic leader who unveils the truth: Scarlet is a Faye, a powerful race of people whose population was nearly decimated during the Shadow Wars. But Morgana didn't bring Scarlet to Avalon solely to keep her safe. Unsure who to trust or what to believe, Scarlet learns that the truth isn't always what it seems. There is a new war brewing, and when it arrives, Scarlet will make a shocking discovery about her past from the most unlikely of sources, and everything Scarlet has ever known will be thrown into question.” . . . #bookstagram #booklife #bandofshadows #bookish #yafantasy #yabookstagram #bookstack #rainbowshelves #rainbowaesthetic #igreads #booklover #thebookstagram #reader #roominspo #homelibrary #mybooks #booked #booknerd #bookgeek

✨Q: Hiw we’ll do you think you’d survive in a post apocalyptic world? . 🖤 I would either die immediately OR hide behind this guy! 😄 Many thanks to @richardihummel for sending me a copy of Radioactive Evolution! I can’t wait to read this one this month. It sits in the LitRPG genre (a genre that merges sci-fi and fantasy with video game elements of you haven’t heard of it) and I’ve been dying to find more books in this genre since Ready Player One. Synopsis below! . 📖 “Decimated by nuclear war, humanity stands at the precipice of extinction. The rich and powerful take to the oceans and skies on floating utopias, escaping destruction and forcing everyone else to fend off mutated creatures that roam the world. . At the turn of the third millennium, earth’s remaining survivors glimpse hope when a brilliant scientist invents nanotechnology, and mankind finally has a chance to push back against the walls of their radioactive prisons. . No longer enslaved within the safe zone, Jared embraces the new technology. He plunges deep into the twisted, scarred wastelands and unwittingly binds himself to a being of great power. But a discovery breeds doubt and fear; the nanomachines surging inside his body are killing him . Faced with this new reality, Jared must become an apex predator to survive. He must surpass human limitations to defeat those in power and bring justice to any deserving” . . . #bookstagram #radioactiveevolution #bookstagrammer #litrpg #bookish #bookworm #bookstack #bookshelf #lovebooks #booksbooksbooks #bookobsessed #booklover #readersofinstagram #bookphoto #alwaysreading #bookcommunity #igreads #booknerd #booktography #bookdragon

✨Q: What plans do you have for the Easter weekend?
