✨ metallic monday ✨

🔮 QotD: would you rather be chased by zombies OR vampires?

Thanks for the 🏷️ @ashs_enchanted_reads 😘

Happy Monday, my darlings! I’ve been spending all of my free time with Gabriel de León in the empire of Elidaen, so I’m choosing vampires…& I might let them catch me…y’all should read Empire of the Vampire.

Despite the sheer number of books I had to put away, this was a LOT of fun! Crow brain loves shiny things, after all! Tagging a few for your own metallic stack, flat lay, or anything else your brilliant hearts desire, usual rules apply!

🎃Book Jack-O-Lantern🎃

Thought I’d do something different today and it was so much fun! I wish I had tons of orange books for this but, alas, orange is a color that is severely lacking on my shelves.

I’ll tag some friends to make any spooky season shape you want - no pressure! 🎃👻💀🦇🧙🏻‍♀️

QOTD🔮: What are you reading today? I’m working on The Once and Future Witches✨

🧡Least Favorite Color (to wear)🧡

Happy Saturday, friends! Many moons ago @jen.harker.author.ordinaire tagged me on a least favorite color stack - thanks, Jen! 🥰 Truthfully, I don’t have a least favorite color, BUT I don’t really love to wear orange - so we’ll go with that 😂 Plus, it fits the season 🎃

My son got very excited about the color of this stack and excitedly ran to his room to get his Mega Charizard Y in an effort to help me decorate for my photo 💔 And I’m not mad at it; he does look pretty cute peeking out from behind the books 🧡

I’ll tag some friends for a least favorite color (or color to wear) stack - no pressure! 🧡

QOTD🔮: What are you up to this weekend? Apparently there’s a storm hitting Southern California, so I foresee a lot of rotting and relaxing!

Can’t do fun titles or a ridiculous QotD today.

I had this whole idea planned out for a reel using the I Am Jane Doe audio & this stack. Even filmed a couple of takes.

I couldn’t get through it. Couldn’t even use the audio, because every time I tried, I started sobbing, From heartbreak. From fear. From exhaustion. But mostly?

From pure, unadulterated RAGE. Rage stoked by every single awful fucking thing that keeps being added to the pile.

It’s probably a good thing that the only weapons I have are on the edges of my books.

💜Purple Pokémon Stack💜

Happy Friday, friends! Two of my favorite booksta babes tagged me in a couple challenges that I merged - @i.dont.give.a.fantasy.funk tagged me for a purple stack and @shona_reads_in_devon tagged me in a match your Pokémon stack 💜

I think was 12 when Pokémon first came out and I missed my window to be interested in it. But all 3 of my kids have loved/still love the show, the cards, the characters…. so I have developed an appreciation for it.

Gengar is not my favorite Pokémon - he just matches the purple stack. My favorite Pokémon is any form of Ponyta/Rapidash solely because they look like a My Little Pony; and I am a child of the 80s (Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Star Catcher forever✨🦄 IYKYK)

I’ll tag some friends for a purple stack or a match your Pokémon stack - no pressure 💜

QOTD🔮: Do you have a favorite Pokémon? OR any fun plans this weekend? We have a 4 day weekend for Fall Break and no plans, really 😍

🌌Night Sky Stack🌌

Welp. Turns out it’s not just allergies and I am, in fact, sick 🤧 I’m posting up in bed with all my current reads until it’s time to pick up the kids.

That’s all I got. Here’s a night sky stack - recognize any of these edges? Thanks to the most lovely @aliciathebookdragon for the tag 💫 I’ll tag some friends - no pressure 🖤

QOTD🔮: If you woke up with magic, what would be the first thing you would do with it? OR what do you need to feel better when you’re sick?
