✨Q: What are your favourite lollies/candies/sweets? (whatever you call them in your country 😄) . 🎃 I love anything sour or with sherbet in them the best! . 🎃 I’ve just found out we’re going to be doing a little Halloween party at my daughter’s playgroup during that week. I am pretty excited because we don’t usually get much hype for Halloween here! I am seriously considering dressing her as a cupcake, since she is obsessed with cake and fully convinced at the moment that if you randomly sing happy birthday at people, cake will appear. She also just sings “Happy birthday to caaaake” if she’s run out of people to wish happy birthday to. 🤦🏼‍♀️🍰😂 . 🎃 I am incredibly obsessed with this Headless Horseman candle by @spireside ! (Swipe for a close up!) Reminiscent of crushed pumpkin, trampled leaves and mulled cider, it is perfect for Halloween! 😍 And of course, you can use my code BookOwl10 to save! . . . #bookstagram #bookstack #hocuspocus #halloween #spiresidecandles #somethingwicked #witches #bookcrown #scentedcandles #homelibrary #bookstagrammer #bookish #bookaholic #booknerd

✨Q: What popular book have you now read, but we’re late to the party for? . ⚔️ There’s quite a few for me, mostly because I just can’t get to all the books I want to get to 😅 I know I read Six of Crows about a year after it was released and then was kicking myself for not getting to it sooner! . ⚔️ Today’s prompt for #finnfury is ‘It’s a little late for that, Puck | Hyped Book you read late’ . ⚔️ Six of Crows bookmark available in my Etsy store 💜 . . . #bookstagram #sixofcrows #bookhoarder #bookworm #bookphotography #bookish #bookmark #igreads #bibliophile #bookaholic #bookaddict #bookmarks #booksofinstagram

Desperate to save him, she embarks on a quest to find a legendary elixir. . She encounters a human man, Izar, who's left his life on land behind to find a cure for his dying father. He doesn’t tell her that his family runs Ocean Dominion, an enemy corporation whose ships plunder her waters daily. . Fate pushes the two of them together, even though their worlds are at odds. Accompanied by a colorful troupe of animals, Coralline and Izar travel through coral reefs and seabed cities, trailed by murderous adversaries and warring ships. Their secrets threaten to tear them apart, while a growing attraction adds to the danger. Ultimately, each of them faces an impossible choice. Should Coralline remain with the world she knows, including her fiancé, or should she relinquish everything for a stranger who might betray her? And Izar holds a secret of his own—one that might cause him to lose Coralline forever. . . . #bookstagram #mermaid #bookgiveaway #bookblogger #bookstagrammer #booklover #bibliophile #booknerd #bookcommunity #booklife #bookish #readersofinstagram

✨Q: What book did you have mixed feelings about? . ⚓️ For me, it’s usually any book I rate 3 stars 😄 I had really mixed feelings about The Mermaid because I’d loved Christina Henry’s other books but this one fell a bit flat for me. I didn’t really dislike it, it just didn’t live up to my expectations . ⚓️ Day 16 of #finnfury is ‘Finn’s car | book that gave you mixed feelings’ . ⚓️ If you love mermaid books, keep your eye out for my next post in about 14 hours. I’ve got an international giveaway coming up for a fantastic new mermaid book that releases today! 💙 . . . #bookstagram #mermaids #underthesea #booknerd #bookcommunity #rainbowbooks #bookshelf #igreads #bookstagrammer #booklife #bookaddict #bookphotography #readersofinstagram

✨Q: What’s your favourite Ice-cream flavour? . 🍦 Mine is plain vanilla. Preferably with chocolate sauce, chopped nuts and sprinkles on top 😁 . 🍦 Today’s prompt for #finnfury is ‘November cakes : books and food’. I didn’t have any baked goods that would have looked good in a photo (aka anything that could possibly compete with Cait’s @paperfury ridiculously good looking chocolate tarts that grace her photos), so the food ON the book will have to do 😂 . Although, I’ve been looking forward to having a delicious chocolate pudding that just needs a quick hit in the microwave and some icecream on the side all day. My husband and I were super excited about eating them as soon as the kid was in bed. Kid finally went to sleep and THE POWER HAS GONE OUT. 😐😐😐 Why you do this to me universe?! . 🍦 I read ‘How to be Perfect’ by @wainwrightholly a few weeks ago and I just had to order the first book, The Mummy Bloggers, right away! Although this one is the first book, so I’m reading them backwards, they stand up on their own anyway. If you like a good laugh at the pitfalls of social media, check these books out! . 🍦 ‘Bookstagram made me do it’ bookmark available in my Etsy store 💕 . . . #bookstagram #hollywainwright #booklife #booklover #bookstagrammer #bookphotography #bibliophile #bookaholic #bookish #booknerd #bookhoarder #allenandunwin #bookblogger

✨Q: What’s your favourite spell? Whether it’s HP related or not. . 🦋 I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night and I’ve completely forgotten the name of the summoning spell 🤦🏼‍♀️😄 my brain won’t work at all. It’ll helpfully remind me of it the second I post this, I’m sure 😂 But that’s the one that would be my favourite. I don’t like getting up to get things. I’d like to be able to zoom them right to me 😁 . 🦋 If you swipe across, you’ll see a close up of the beautiful Ravenclaw inspired perfume by @sorcererssuitcase It is such a pretty, subtle scent of fig, coconut and clove. You can use my code BOOKOWL10 to save on the many products in their store! . . . #bookstagram #bookstack #harrypotter #hogwarts #ravenclaw #bookworm #bookish #bookstagrammer #bookishmerch #booknerd #booknerdigans #igreads
