  • I ended up putting Brave Story down and deciding to move on with other reads. I try not to DNF books, but this one had been sitting on my shelf for a long time and I kept passing it over, and it's time to let it go. I got almost 300 pages into this beast and the story still hadn't moved along much, and I have so many other books to read! — #fantasy #bravestory #miyukimiyabe #book #bookdragon #bookworm #bookish #bookstagram #read #reading #currentlyreading #bookphotography #bookishallure #bookishglee #bookishfeature #bookstagramfeature
  • I recently did a small clean-up of my bookshelves and rediscovered The Manual of Detection by Jedediah Berry, and I picked it up because it was one of those books that was recommended to me by a friend many years ago because she taught it in a class and I thought the subject sounded interesting. It's metafiction about the nature of detective stories, and it doesn't sit cleanly in one genre or another. I enjoyed it! It's a reminder to me to visit those backlist books on my shelf every now and again. ☺️ — #themanualofdetection #jedediahberry #detectivestories #mystery #fiction #book #bookdragon #bookworm #bookish #bookstagram #read #reading #currentlyreading #bookphotography #bookishallure #bookishglee #bookishfeature #bookstagramfeature
  • Hello, friends! I haven't posted in forever! I decided to participate in the #tometopplereadathon this month and want to read at least two of these. Aside from the Samantha Shannon one, I've had the other three on my shelves for so long that I need to read them or pass them along! What have you been up to? What are you reading? — #tometopple #tometopplechallenge #tbr #theprioryoftheorangetree #samanthashannon #sff #fantasy #book #bookdragon #bookworm #bookish #bookstagram #read #reading #currentlyreading #bookphotography #bookishallure #bookishglee #bookishfeature #bookstagramfeature
  • I read I Miss You When I Blink last week in a single sitting, and it's an excellent collection of memoir essays about life, motherhood, and finding yourself. The story about the title is absolutely adorable! 🌸 — #imissyouwheniblink #marylauraphilpott #atria #memoirs #essays #book #bookdragon #bookworm #bookish #bookstagram #read #reading #currentlyreading #bookphotography #bookishallure #bookishglee #bookishfeature #bookstagramfeature #broccolicat #catsofinstagram
  • Started reading this on the plane home today, and it reminded me just how much I love Ted Chiang's writing. — Who's an author you can't get enough of? — #tedchiang #exhalation #sff #sciencefiction #sf #scifi #shortstories #book #bookdragon #bookworm #bookish #bookstagram #read #reading #currentlyreading #bookphotography #bookishallure #booksbooksbooks #vscobooks
  • I finished @kameronhurley's The Light Brigade today on my flight, and wowowow, if you like military, time-bendy science fiction, this will be right up your alley. This was one of my most anticipated reads for 2019, and it's now one of my favorite reads of the year! — #kameronhurley #thelightbrigade #scifi #sff #sciencefiction #saga #sagasff #book #bookdragon #bookworm #bookish #bookstagram #read #reading #currentlyreading #bookphotography #vscobooks #booksbooksbooks
