  • It has been 1 to 2 years since I last posted something. I can't believe how long I have been gone! I had a huge change in my life at 2018, and somehow life got into the way. How are you? Are you keeping safe? How have you been faring in these chaotic times? Sending much loves to all of you! ๐Ÿ’• As nightmarish as the current pandemic is, I try to focus on the positives to keep me sane throughout the days. It's currently Day 28 of Lockdown and I only left my house 3 times in the entire month, so that leaves me plenty time to self reflect and take a break from my work life. I actually wrote a blog post on why I took a long hiatus from everything book-related, here's a snippet! ๐Ÿ˜‚ " ๐–๐ก๐ž๐ง ๐ฉ๐š๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐›๐ž๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ฌ ๐š๐ง ๐จ๐›๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง, ๐ˆ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ...๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ž๐.

Any quarantine reads you would like to recommend? P.S sorry for the long post, it has been a while. ๐Ÿ˜‚ P.P.S this is an old photo that somehow never got posted ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm still trying to decide on a new theme! #Bookstagrammer #redqueen #minimal #minimallove #blogger #booksofinstagram #bookishlove #bookinsta #Bookaddict #booklovers #bookstagramcommunity #quarantine #lockdown #readersofinstagram

  • โžฐ๐Ÿ–ค A #Shadowhunters appreciation post because THIS IS IT. The finale. The last wait. The last episode. The last time I will ever feel excited for a Monday hoping for some binge-watching to cure my Monday Blues. โžฐ ๐Ÿ–ค Itโ€™s unfair because Iโ€™ve only just discovered this beautiful community called the #Shadowfam a couple months back, only to have the show cancelled and to truly witness how this community unite and go all out to #saveshadowhunters , itโ€™s a #shadowhunterslegacy the show has left behind. โžฐ ๐Ÿ–ค I just wished for more time ๐Ÿ˜žThe show has so much potential, they broke the norms of stereotypes with the beautiful writing, storyline and of course wonderful casts & characters. They reignited my passion to really embrace my emotions (ahh I just missed fangirling at this magnitude), taught me to be more open-minded and accepting, and most of all to discover a world out there unlike any other. . . This is it. The final hunt. . . After the series finale next week, I know Iโ€™m going to be in a huge bittersweet emotional funk. So I prepared myself by buying THE entire series of The Mortal Instruments so I can just binge read all month. Iโ€™m not ready to leave the world yet! (And I need more of my OTP #Malec) . . Also, I really wanted to showcase the artwork of the talented artist @lenas_fanart who draws the MOST amazing SH arts! I love how she seems to capture such iconic/precious moments and bring them to life with her sketches. . . ๐Ÿ–คQOTD: What are some representations that you would love to see more in books or on-screen? โžฐAOTD: Diversity that embraces the general theme of love and acceptance. I know that the world is trying to make a change in becoming more open-minded, so Iโ€™m really excited to see that effort being translated into books/movies/TV shows.

AOTD: ICE CREAM AND POPCORN. ๐Ÿฅ“ ๐Ÿฅง ๐Ÿฅ“ One of my favorite author's @literarydust book will be featured on Bookbub and on sale for 0.99ยข starting today! I absolutely adore this cute and hilarious YA rom com that has such a delicious title ๐Ÿ˜‹ ๐Ÿฅ“ ๐Ÿฅ“ [About Bacon Pie] Lia Abbie has the easy lifeโ€”kicking it back with old school video games, hanging out with her best friend Barnabas, and alternating her living schedule between the apartments of her two dads and her mom. Kiev Jimenez is a theater geek who loves him some Shakespeare and taking care of his pet armadillo. He has one set goal in life: obtaining the role of Horatio for the Hamlet school play. When a showdown between Lia and Kiev lands them in the principal's office, they're forced into volunteer work at the cringe-worthy Piggy Palooza Festival, or risk being suspended. Lia and Kiev arenโ€™t thrilled about the situation, especially when it interferes with Lia's relaxed life and Kiev's theater role. But by working together, they may find more than just baconโ€”possibly a little love in the air. . . . #bookstafeatures #bookishlove #minimalism #monochrome #weekend #bookstagramfeature #bookstagram #bookblurb #bookphotography #booksofinstagram #Bookaddict #WeekendReads #lovetoread #culturetripbooks #bookworm #sale #booksale #bookwormsunite #booklover
