Thank you @one.too.many.books for this incredible challenge which tested my patience in so many ways 🤣

I am a massive fan of oversized, baggy sweaters which do not make the best platforms for books. So I had about 6 I wanted to try and use, but that just wasn’t going to work!

I’m so grateful for the PR books and the very bottom of the pile was a gifted book from @thenextchapter.bc back in April (has anyone read this yet?!)

I’ve tagged a few of you to try, but if you see this count yourself tagged and give it a try. Don’t forget to tag me in your sweater stacks - I would love to see all the colour variations ✨

💬 Have you pulled out all your cosy sweaters yet⁉️ Or, which book do you think I loved in this stack⁉️

☁️ sentimental sunday ☁️

>> 6 months on bookstagram <<

📖 when i started this account in January, i was searching for a safe space to talk about books, hoping to discuss fictional characters that feel like real people, and tbr piles that kept growing.

✨ fast forward 6 months, and never in a million years did i imagine that i would have made some truly amazing friendships.

📖 thank you for all the book recommendations and making my tbr grow exponentially.

✨ thank you for the connections, the kindness, and acceptance 🫶🏻

☁️🌿>> what’s one thing you feel grateful for today? <<🌿☁️

#gratitude #bookstafriends #bookstagrammerlife #bookishlove #bookstaappreciationpost

🏷️ i’ve also tagged some lovely accounts that you should check out. some have been here since the beginning, some are just recent connections. i’ll get round to a proper shout out post soon, but this is like a soft launch just now 😊🫶🏻

📖 black + white covers 📖

Elaine @one.too.many.books gave me some inspiration the other day. As soon as she posted her black and white 🖤🤍 book covers I knew I had LOTS to choose from.🖤🤍

These are a few of my favourite books ever, and two are still on my TBR pile. I’ve tagged a few Booksta pals - if you take part with a b+w flatlay make sure you tag me 🏷️ so I can see 🤩

📖 have you read any of these?
✨ do you have any books with b+w covers?
📸 drop a photo in the comments if you find one!

get to know me in 5…

I couldn’t resist this wee bookstagram trend when @bex_bookstagram tagged me, oh a good month ago 😝 I love seeing these as it’s just a little bit of an insight into who we all are beyond the books ✨

It was incredibly hard to choose only 5 books 📚 albums 🎧 and films 🍿

💭 Do we have any in common?

If I’ve tagged you, it’s your turn 🫶🏻 remember and tag me so I can see what your 5️⃣’s are 🤗

🪩 #ShoutoutSaturday is back with another crop of amazing bookstagrammers you should be seeing!

These reviewers and bloggers have created some jaw-dropping flat lays, recommended some amazing books I’m adding to my TBR, and honestly, their vibes are all immaculate in such different and unique ways.

If you’re wanting to have some love shared on your account and you’re under 5K followers, drop a comment below! ✨ (AI did not write this caption — that’s just my favorite whimsical emoji)

@gloomandgrimoire tagged me in this challenge a couple weeks ago and I’m finally getting around to it!

It was really hard to narrow down some of these. And picking a favorite author hurt my soul. But y’all know I love my queen Isabel, and I can’t WAIT for her YA debut in September.

I’ve tagged a few more friends but if you see this and wanna, tag you’re it!

💬 Which book(s) on your tbr are you most excited to read?

🤍 white stack 🤍

Thank you @quiet.reading.time for the opportunity to pull out some of these beauties. At first I thought I might struggle to find enough books, but in the end I struggled to limit the amount. I couldn’t even resist including one of my favourite cookery books.

💫If you want to join in for some book stack aesthetic inspiration, all you need to do is check what percentage your phone battery is just now, and the corresponding colour of heart is what colour your stack needs to be!

💚 100-80%
💙 79-60%
❤️ 59-40%
🤍 39-20%
🖤 19-0%

💫Tagging a few bookish friends but anyone can join in ✨🫶🏻

💫Let me know what percentage/colour you got in the comments and don’t forget to tag me when you post yours, so I can some more colourful stacks 🤩
