𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓴 𝓫𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓲𝓮𝓼 𝓽𝓸 𝓯𝓸𝓵𝓵𝓸𝔀 🍂🤎 . ⊹ ࣪˖ 🧸🕰️🖋️📜 𖥔 ݁˖ I just really wanted to make this post as a form of appreciation to all the friends I’ve made here on insta. As someone who is “deathly shy”, making friends has never been my strong suit. I’ve grown up loving quiet places and time alone, but this has caused me to struggle when it comes to conversing with people and forming connections. To every person who has ever reached out and interacted with me, through commenting on my posts or DMing me, you don’t understand how much I appreciate it. I love being on here, because in a world that often feels too chaotic for me, I have found a place where I belong. So thank you. Also btw, I’ll a part two for some more of my friends either by tomorrow or the day after. I’d love to make posts like this again some time in the future too!!

We recently stepped back in time to visit French high society in the 19th century to meet Léon Delafosse, a.k.a. CHARMING YOUNG MAN by Eliot Schrefer. Read a few sentences from our hosts' reviews of this exuberant YA historical coming-of-age novel below: @undervmountain described the story, Charming Young Man is an interesting story of a young pianist from a poorer background trying to work his way up in late 19th century French society'. @torchlight.reader mentioned the writing style, 'Schrefer's writing was absolutely stunning - this fictionalised history felt real, exciting, and raw. I will admit to shedding a few tears over the cruel twists'. @anya.mae.reads compiled a list to recommend the novel, 'You should definitely give this one a read if you're a fan of: > queer historical fiction (especially books like Last Night at The Telegraph Club) > Explorations of sexuality and class > short books that don't take too long to read > an immersive setting that is historically accurate" And @queerbooksupremacy can't wait to hear your thoughts, 'if you're looking for good historical fiction told beautifully and with feeling, pick this up! and then come and tell me how you found it!' Thank you to all our brilliant hosts for their reviews. #CharmingYoungMan #PrideBookTours #queerya #queerbooks #queerbookstagram #lgbtqbooks #lgbtqya #EliotSchrefer

🌿 QOTD: Last book you bought and regretted?⠀ ⠀ The other day @pagesblonde tagged me to do the #constellationbooktag. I‘m currently so behind with keeping up with all the book tags because of my 2-week insta-jail time but I had so much fun completing this tag! I‘ve tagged some of you lovelies to do it too, feel free to jump in.⠀ ⠀ 💫 Andromeda (a book that didn’t meet my expectations): They Both Die at the End. While I did enjoy the book on the whole, I wasn’t 100% invested in the story. I guess I was looking for that big bang moment but it never really happened, and I didn’t feel emotionally connected to the story. More on it in my previous post!⠀ ⠀ 💫 Altar (a book I read for school): A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This comedy was probably one of my least favourite plays I had to read in school & I still can’t believe how ‘dirty’ some of scenes were😂⠀ ⠀ 💫 Cassiopeia (a book you bought and later regretted): That was easy — We Hunt the Flame. I think the book was pretty enjoyable and I still would’ve picked up the book If I had borrowed it from the library. I’m mad about all the money I spent on this book though because the book was so predicable & it’s probably the only reason I even bothered to finish it (that, and also because it was my book club’s read).⠀ ⠀ 💫 Phoenix (adjective to describe your last read): Okay. (How It All Blew Up)⠀ ⠀ 💫 Dragon (a book you enjoyed): An Ember in the Ashes! I read it a few years ago (when YA fantasy was still my favourite genre and not so predictable) and this book was mind blowing. I can’t wait till the fourth book in this series releases!⠀ ⠀ 💫 Minor Lion (book you read in a few hours): The Poppy War! I read it on a train ride from Germany to Luxembourg & I devoured it! it’s so well researched — while it is a fantasy book, it’s also heavily based on Chinese mythology AND history. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #booktag #bookstagram #bookish #bookcommunity #cozyreading #challengeaccepted #bookadict #bookaholic #bookaesthetic #bookgram #readersofinstagram #bookworm #amreading #books #rusticpages #bibliophile #bookstack #bookishpeople #unitedbookstagram #booksandflowers #bookpost #anemberintheashes #classics #shakespeare #fantasybooks #thepoppywar

💌 It must've been weeks but I was tagged by @bottomofthebookshelf and @thebookishbrownie to participate in the Last Now Next Challenge a little while ago. To give it a little twist, I decided to rate the books on their diversity (bipoc + queer representation) too! . . 🌿 Last read: Mystic City by Theo Lawrence. Genre: YA dystopian? The novel is set in an alternate New York in the future but the dystopian setting seemed very unrealistic to me. Diversity? 1.5/10. The main characters are clearly white and straight but some minor characters' physical appearances/sexual orientation were left blank so we don't know for sure. Author didn't make any efforts to emphasise their backgrounds though so that's a minus point. . . 🌿 Current read: What's Left of Me by Kat Zhang. Genre: YA dystopia/scifi/fantasy. Each body is born with 2 souls but one soul becomes more dominant until the 'twin soul' is eliminated. Diversity: 4 (perhaps more)/10. I do have to say that I'm still in the middle of the book so I don't know the final cast yet. Main characters are white af (just look at the cover) but some characters seemed to be mixed-race so I'm being hopeful they will play a bigger role in the book! No mentionings of queer characters whatsoever yet though. . . 🌿 Next read: Loveless by Alice Oseman. Genre: YA contemporary. The main character is finally starting uni but her lack of sexual attraction to other people makes her question her sexual identity. Diversity: ??/10. I haven't started the book yet but I'm hoping it'll be a 9 or 10 read. I mean, it's finally featuring an aro-ace main character (hopefully)! . . . I'm tagging some of you lovelies to participate in the challenge & anyone who wants to join! & Apologies if you've already been tagged, you can Block Me by Tahereh Mafi
