Book title poem time!

We wish to kiss heavenly bodies
And discover where angels fall
So we follow whispers underground
To the dawn of the north
Hoping to be swept away
By all the missing pieces
To earn our crown of midnight
And claim our shark heart
So we can finally be the girl who drank the moon
.
.
Maybe I should try to rhyme these someday. 😅

❓️❔️QotD: What's your favorite title of a book? Not necessarily what's inside, but the title.
.
.
Reckon mine is Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil. Still haven't read it cause I'm horrible but I'm obsessed with the title. 😅

Tagged a few people who I wanna see try this, but no pressure! And please feel free to do your own! I lovee seeing these. ❤️

It’s rainy today, so I’m imagining I’m enjoying the sunshine and reading through my draft.

I love that I can send documents to my kindle, it makes reading it so much easier than having to read through on my computer.

❓QOTD:❓ how’s the weather near you today?

🚨 Update: 🚨 there’s an announcement I’m excited about in my channel!

Bookstack challenge! 📚

Was tagged by @fairytale_hearts in this amazing challenge!

🛍Book I bought because of Booksta:
Quicksilver - among many others, but that was a big one. I knew about the seven gods line before I knew the synopsis. Hahaha

🎬Book I would love to see made into a movie:
House in the Cerulean Sea - I would die for an animation of this film. I love allllll the characters. Gimme.

🤞Book I have high hopes for:
Water Moon - heard too many phenomenal things about this one to not be stoked.

🔁Book I will read again:
Lies of Locke Lamora - adored this one. Genuinely. It's also a book I think a reread will reveal so much more that I missed the first time.

😬Book I'm scared to start:
The Shining - first Stephen King book and like... genuine horror. I skirt around the outsides of the genre, this one feels like diving into the heart of it.

.

If I tagged you, as always don't feel pressured! Curious about your takes!

❓️QotD : What book do you want to see made into a movie?

A whole yearrrr! GASP! 🎉💃
.
.
First and foremost, thank youuuuu! Yeah, you. The human reading this--youu! You're here, and that means the world to me. I appreciate you! ❤️❤️
.
.
Next, I truly didn't know what to expect when I started my booksta account. I'd be lying if I said I knew what I was doing or that I had an end goal. I didn't. And I still don't.

I'm just having a blast in this glorious little corner of the internet that's brought me some of my favorite books, new besties, hilarious and fascinating chats, pictures that make me drool, and crippling FOMO. All in all... 10/10. Highly recommend. 💃
.
.
Thanks to all my amazing friends who have made this experience SO special. I adore you all heaps and can't wait to see what all you badass ladies do next!
.
Follow them all! Amazinggg humans!
.
Special shout out to @myarcadventures, who not only introduced me to half of my new booksta besties, beta read my book and helps with sooo many post ideas... She alsoooo leads the best book club around - @chapterchats_bookclub.

(She literally told me I didn't have to include her in this post. The idea was so laughable, I wrote her a whole paragraph. Just a reminder: YOU'RE ADORED GRACHEL!)
.

Thank you everyyyyoneee!! Can't wait to share more with you, friends! Maybe by my second bookstaversary, I'll see my book in your pictures and sob. 😂 CAN'T WAIT!
