Actual footage of me, I swear 🤣

No but seriously… I need to unhaul some books so bad. Apparently it’s not plausible to just buy a bigger house to store them in 🤷🏻‍♀️

📖 What are we reading today, pals??

(Gifted) thank you @sabrina_dax_pr and @riverside.press for this gorgeous copy of A Brontë Botany by @abrontebotany ahead of its publication next week (Oct 13 in the US and Oct 15 here in the UK!)

This is the first ever botanical guide to the Brontës; illustrated by the talented @betweenstarsandsoil from the wild heather of the Yorkshire moors to the cultivated roses of manor house gardens, the flora pervading each novel reflects the rebellion, romance and resilience in the Brontës’ literary landscapes and lives.

So very excited to get stuck in and explore the worlds of Jane Eyre, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Wuthering Heights through a different, botanical, lens!

🪴have you read any Brontë books? If not are there any on your TBR??

🍂September wrap up!

It’s finally autumn, it’s finally heeeeeere! And admittedly I’ve already started on my spooky TBR. I say that loosely because we all know I’m a mood reader and can’t stick to any kind of plan. 😅

But all things considered I had a great reading month. I’m carrying over into October; Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier and Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo! I’ve added £19.73 into savings from pages read and everything was four stars and above!!

Are you carrying over any reads from last month?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🎧Styx by Nikita Gill
🎧The Raven and The Reindeer by T Kingfisher

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
📱Into The Fading Twilight by Catherine Cowles
🎧Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry
🎧When Among Crows by Veronica Roth

Have you read any of these? What’s on your October TBR??

(Ad/pr) My pretty September Bouquet from @bloomandwild cheered me up so much this month- don’t forget you can treat yourself or a pal with 20% off using my code GIFTRHQ or tapping the link in my bio 💕

Are there any classics in your TBR you’re hoping to get to soon?

My other half was astounded that I hadn’t read Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier in full, and insisted on buying it for me whilst we were out and about last week. Stunning!

He also bought Jamaica Inn for himself but I will 100% be purloining at the next available opportunity!

Bonus, have you read Rebecca?? What did you think?

What’s your go-to coffee/hot drink order when you’re out, and what sweet treat are you picking up with it?

Sad to not be in a coffee shop today, nor am I eating this incredible salted caramel brownie from Mana Coffee next to Aldgate station in London!

Alas, today I’m under a blanket for the second day in a row (😭) but I AM now just over halfway through Shield of Sparrows for Romantasy Book Club!!

Bonus Q, tell me your current read and how you’d rate it so far!

🪴🌸{pr/gifted} Do you have a favourite flower?

Mine has always been Lilies, in all their forms! I’m expanding my horizons with my latest treats from @bloomandwild !

Petal by Adriana Picker is fully illustrated with details of over two hundred flowers inside! This will also come in handy for something I’m writing at the moment (👀). I mean, just look at this glorious cover art!!!

The book also came with this darling bunch of dried flowers and a pretty little vase to plop them into!!

I love dried flowers; long lasting and faves to have around the house as we draw closer to the colder months!

Anyone else struggling to keep a handle on their book buying?? 😅

At the moment I’m trying to stick to my subs and preorders but… well, it’s not going well.

I’ve already had an insane 99p haul this month!

TELL ME; what’re you reading this week? (And do I need to buy it? 🤣)

🪴What new release are you most looking forward to?? OR, what are you going to be reading next?

Dead Beat by @lbardugo publishes TOMORROW (15/09) and I can’t wait to get my hands on my copy.

I’m going to be doing a full reread of Ninth House and Hell Bent before tucking in, though! It’s rare that I reread faves but I miss Alex and Darlington so much 🥺💕 and I get to reread my gorgeous @illumicrate copies!

Is this series on your radar?

{gifted/PR} Also peek my gorgeous bouquet from @bloomandwild, you can grab 20% off with my code GIFTRHQ or by tapping the link in my bio! 💐

August Wrap Up! (Only a week or so late 😅)

⁉️What book have you started September with?

Last month wasn’t my best reading month but I still had a blast! Managed to tuck away 1484 pages which means £14.84 into savings! Not sure what bookish treats I’ll be getting at the end of the year but my gosh it’s gonna be good!

My fave read of the month was Daybreak (gifted by the publisher!)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Daybreak by Autumn Woods
Before The Coffee Gets Cold

⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
Lightlark by Alex Aster
Fair Play by Louise Hegarty

Sorry for a bit of an absence lately folks - nothing major (just life and feeling a little bit out of the Booksta rhythm lately 😅)
