POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Ghost Stack! 👻 @boetbooks tagged me in this challenge, and of course I couldn't resist! I love spooky month challenges. Passing it along to some friends to make their own ghost stacks.

These little light-up ghosts are some of my favorite decor right now. I also just got some ghost glasses, ghost kitchen towels, and a blanket with ghost dogs on it – I think ghosts might be my 2026 theme. I feel like every year I focus on a particular thing, I can't help it!

👻 If you had to pick one Halloween symbol for this year (pumpkins, ghosts, skeletons, witches, etc), what would it be?

👻🖤Spooky Stack!🖤👻

Saw these little sticky ghosties in Poundland and couldn’t resist picking them up to try and stick to some books to create a very scary spooky stack, just in time for Halloween! 👻 I barely have any white books so this was actually really hard to do but I’m pleased with how it turned out 🥰

I’ve tagged a few of you who i thought may enjoy making your own spooky stack (or black & white stack?) but no pressure! And as always if you’re not tagged and would like to have a go, please tag me as I’d love to see 🖤👻🤍

Today is World Gratitude Day, so what better way to celebrate than to show some love for some of my favourite accounts that make my experience of bookstagram better! This is only Part 1 due to how many of you there are😭😭

I tried to include books or things that remind me of the person!

Thanks everyone, lots of love from this grateful gal 🤍✨

Since we’re approaching the end of summer and we will be seeing all of the autumn colors soon, I figured it was a good time to share some gorgeous green edges 💚 I have been saying forever now that my collection is sorely lacking in green books but we are slowing building it up!

Reading update: I started The Sweetest Fiend last night and omg, the prologue alone blew me away. A few chapters in and this books is just phenomenal 🙌🏼 I’ll be back with a full review after finishing but wow

It’s been a while since I’ve shared a color stack so I wanted to tag some friends! If you want to join in, share a stack of your favorite color 🤍

Happy Friday everyone! It's been a busy but productive week for me – I can't decide if it felt long or short. Now I'm excited to carve out some time to read this weekend since I'm loving everything I'm reading right now.

The Infinite State is living up to all the hype and the audiobook narration is fantastic! I'm also deeply invested in The Wolves of War and can't put it down.

Since I haven't tagged anyone in a challenge lately I'm going to make this one – show me some purple and white stacks! 🤍💜

📚 Do you think you'll get time to read this weekend or will you be too busy with other things?

𝒃𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒆𝒍 ⚔️

@readingwith_love tagged me in her incredibly beautiful steel stack a while back and i mean.. if you know me you know i love my romantasy and fantasy books so who am i to pass up a stack that represents all the weapons wielded in my favorite books?

if there’s one thing that’s for sure, it’s that every single time i’m confident that i can do a colored based stack or tag, i always have way less books than i originally thought. 😭 anyways, i did the best with what i had.

i tagged some people that i think would have as much fun as i did putting this together but if this tag is calling out to you, consider this your open invitation to join in.

💭 do you think you have enough body strength to wield a weapon like a sword or axe?
