✨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: Who is your favourite contemporary author? . 🔑 Mine is Cait AKA C.G. Drews @paperfury . Her books are witty, make me cry AND they are full of cake. I LOVED The Boy Who Steals Houses and of course I had to be part of the book blitz run by @ausyabloggers ! . 🔑 The synopsis is below and, if you hop on over to my linktree, you’ll find a link to enter a giveaway for a signed and annotated copy of the book, Plus an official art print! . 🔑 “Can two broken boys find their perfect home? . Sam is only fifteen but he and his autistic older brother, Avery, have been abandoned by every relative he's ever known. Now Sam's trying to build a new life for them. He survives by breaking into empty houses when their owners are away, until one day he's caught out when a family returns home. To his amazement this large, chaotic family takes him under their wing - each teenager assuming Sam is a friend of another sibling. Sam finds himself inextricably caught up in their life, and falling for the beautiful Moxie. . But Sam has a secret, and his past is about to catch up with him.” . 🔑 You can purchase a copy of the book from Book Depository, Angus & Robertson, Booktopia, Amazon Australia, Amazon US, Fishpond, Waterstones and Wordery! . . . #bookstagram #tbwshparty #theboywhostealshouses #booklover #yalit #bookphotography #bookworm #bookstagrammer #igreads #flatlaystyle #bibliophile #booknerd #bookcommunity #booksofinstagram #bookaesthetic #yabooks #booklife #bookaholic #readers #flatlay

✨Q: What plans do you have for the Easter weekend? Anyone taking a trip or doing something exciting? . 🐝 We aren’t going anywhere, just loading up on Easter eggs at home (because when else is it acceptable to eat your body weight in chocolate for breakfast?) and having a family dinner at my parents house ☺️ . 🐝 Today’s prompt for #aprilbookstagram19 is ‘Pop of colour’ . . . #booklife #bookstagram #keeperofthebees #bookish #bookphoto #bookstack #bookpile #booknerdigans #bookdragon #bookcommunity #reader #booklover #bibliophile #booksbooksbooks #bookhoarder #bookstagrammer #igreads #alwaysreading #bookishlove

✨Q: What type of quotes become your favourites? Do you tend to love the romantic ones? The funny ones? The inspirational ones? . I almost exclusively love the funny ones. If they’re sarcastic, all the better 😄 . 💜 A couple of weeks ago I asked you guys to vote on whether I should release this Aurora Rising inspired bookmark right away, or wait until the book release date. (Swipe for a close up). The vote was 51% for earlier, 49% for release date. So helpful. Well done on that one everyone. 😐😂 So as a compromise, I waited a bit longer, but not all the way 😄 it’s available in my Etsy store now. Hopefully most of you who wanted to use the bookmark while reading the book will still be able to get it in time (hopefully, because I don’t control the ridiculous postal system). . 💜 This design is going to be one of those designs that will make sense once you’ve actually read the book, but probably not before. 😄 So feel free to send me your ‘Aha face’ when it makes sense 😉😄 . . . #bookstagram #aurorarising #bookmark #bookworm #bookish #bookphotography #readersofinstagram #booklover #bookstagrammer #igreads #bookquotes #lovebooks #alwaysreading #booknerd #yalit #bookdragon #igreaders #booklovers #booklife

✨Q: Do you have a Book boyfriend / Book girlfriend? Who is it? 😁 . ❤️ It’s always going to be Rhysand for me. A couple of others have come close, but he’s still got the crown 😄 PS: is anyone going to order the special edition ACOTAR book coming out in November? I want to know if they’re going to do special editions of the whole series first 😄 . 💙 Today’s prompt for #fireheartapr19 is ‘main crush’ . . . #bookstagram #acotar #rainbowaesthetic #booklover #bookphotography #rhysand #bookish #readersofinstagram #bibliophile #booktography #alwaysreading #igbooks #bookpic #bookhoarder #bookgeek #booklove #bookshelf #booklife #reader

✨Q: Tell me a book you’d totally recommend! . 💛 For me it’s Illuminae! When I recommended this one to my husband last month, I was a bit scared incase he didn’t like it, and I couldn’t speak to him anymore 😉😂 But he really liked it and is now reading Gemina. I am embarrassed to admit that he obviously pays much more attention to detail about things than I do, because he pointed out the authors names in the casualty list, which I’d never noticed.. I mean, did anyone else actually read the whole casualty list?? 🙈 . 💛 Today’s prompt for #bookstamumsapril19 Is ‘totally recommend ‘ . . . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookish #illuminae #illuminaefiles #bookrecommendation #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #booksofinstagram #booklover #bookdragon #bookphoto #alwaysreading #bookpic #bookcommunity #bookaholic #thebookstagram #booknerd #igreaders .
