✨Q: Do you prefer bad ass heroines or heroes in books? . 💛 I probably like heroines slightly more than heroes, but I like both TBH. Mostly, no matter which one they are, I like it best when they are bad ass AND show their vulnerable side! . 💛 I wanted to read The Black Coats as soon as I saw the synopsis. I’m still hoping to get to it this month, or early next month! . 💛 Synopsis: 📖 “Roses are read, violets are blue, if you hurt us, we’re coming for you. . The deeply secretive Black Coats have been exacting vengeance on men who hurt girls and women for years. And Thea has just received an invitation to join them. This is the opportunity she’s been waiting for to finally get justice for her cousin Natalie, whose killer went free. . Thea dives head first into the group, training every day with other girls whose stories rival hers. Together they carry out Balancings—acts of revenge guaranteed to teach a lesson. With every predator threatened, every blackmailer exposed, and every date rapist punished, Thea can feel herself getting closer to avenging Natalie’s death. . But then the Balancings begin to escalate in brutality, and Thea discovers that the Black Coats are not all they seem to be. Thea must confront just how far she’s willing to go for justice—and what kind of justice Natalie, and Thea herself, deserve. Because when the line between justice and revenge is razor thin, it’s hard not to get cut. “ . . . #bookstagram #theblackcoats #bookspiral #bookstagrammer #booklife #bookcommunity #booknerdigans #booklover #bookhoarder #homelibrary #booksbooksbooks #thebookstagram #bookgram

✨Q: If you get any book subscription boxes, how many do you buy? And which ones? . 🦑 Unfortunately I can only get a couple, because postage to Australia is often almost the same price as the actual box 😅 . 🦑 I am so in love with these chess pieces in the @shelflovecrate boxes! (Swipe for a closer look) I’ve just subscribed and having these in every box means I’m never skipping a box this year. Such a great idea (in my best Jurassic Park voice: “Clever Girl..”😄) . . . #bookstagram #bookstack #bookphotography #daughterofthepirateking #shelflovecrate #tricialevenseller #bookcrown #pirates #booklover #booksofinstagram #igreads #bibliophile #bookstagrammer #readersofinstagram #yalit

✨Q: How many hashtags do you use on your posts? . 🎓 In my never ending quest to work Instagram out, I thought I’d ask 😂 I’ve used anywhere from 10 to 25 and I still have NO IDEA what works best 😅 . 🎓 Today’s prompt for #allthebooksmarch19 is ‘Harry Potter love’ . . . #bookstagram #harrypotter #bookstack #bookstagrammer #booknerdigans #bookworm #booklife #bookphotography #booksofinstagram #bookcommunity #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #bookish #booklover #bookmark

✨Q: Have you held on to your childhood friends? Do you still see the friends you had when you were really young? . 💕 I occasionally see one or two of them, and I mostly played with my cousins, who I’m still great friends with. Other than that, I’ve been more the type to drift through, making friends in school, work etc, then drifting off again when I’ve moved into a new chapter of life, only hanging on to a couple of people each time. . 💕 Many thanks to @bloomsburypublishing for this ARC of All the Invisible Things, Which I’ll be reading shortly! Synopsis below: . 📖 “Vetty's family is moving back to London, and all she can think about is seeing Pez again. They were inseparable when they were small - roaming the city in the long summers, sharing everything. But everyone's telling her it'll be different now. After all, a boy and a girl can't really be friends without feelings getting in the way, can they? . Vetty thinks differently ... until Pez tells her she's 'not like other girls'. But what does that even mean? Is it a good thing or not? Suddenly she's wondering whether she wants him to see her like the others - like the ultra-glamorous March, who's worked some sort of spell on Pez, or the girls in the videos that Pez has hidden on his laptop. . How can she measure up to them? And who says that's what a girl is supposed to be like anyway?” . . . #bloomsbury #bookstagram #friendships #bookstack #bookpile #rainbowaesthetic #bookishlife #booksbooksbooks #booklovers #bookstagrammers #yalit #yabooks #ireadya #bookphoto #bookshelf #bookworm #booknerd #bookoftheday #readerlife

✨Q: Did you / are you doing anything for St Patrick’s Day? . 🍀 I used to go to some Irish pubs and get myself a shamrock hat, but not this year! My family came over for dinner though and my mum brought some dessert featuring green custard in honor of the day 😁 . 🍀 Today’s prompt for #allthebooksmarch19 is St Patrick’s Day: Green books . . . #thegildedwolves #bookstagram #greenbooks #stpatricksday #luckoftheirish #booklove #bookstagrammer #bookaddict #thebookstagram #readersofinstagram #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #rainbowlife #booklife #booklifestyle #igreaders #bookworms #bookgram #bookdragon #instaread

✨Q: How do you think you’d go in a labyrinth? Could you find your way out ok? . 🌿 I mean look, I want to say I’d be amazing at solving a labyrinth because I’m good at puzzles, but my brain would like to pipe up and remind me that I can’t even remember which way I was walking through a shopping centre when I come out of a store, so the evidence isn’t really stacked in my favour.. My sense of direction is just...bad. The day I got a GPS in my car was a very good day indeed 😄 . Today is St Patrick’s Day here so I’ll be posting two green pictures today! I thought I’d feature To Best the Boys first. I loved this book! If you haven’t checked it out, I’d recommend it ☺️ . Today’s prompt for #fireheartmarch19 is ‘St Patrick’s Day: Green books’ . . . #bookstagram #stpatricksday #tobesttheboys #bookspiral #booklove #booklovers #bookphoto #rainbowshelves #readersofig #bookdragon #bookcommunity #bibliophile #bookaddict #booksbooksbooks #alwaysreading #fortheloveofbooks #lovebooks #homedecor
