#Bookstagram Recap — September 2018

View this post on Instagram

AND THE OCEAN WAS OUR SKY is a Moby Dick retelling from the whale’s POV and set in a fantasy world. I have never read Moby Dick, so I can’t compare the retelling to the original. However, the story was very interesting and I was absorbed into the book the more that I read. Also, the illustrations were gorgeous (which were not even fully complete in my ARC) and helped so much with explaining the world. • • What books have you read where the MC is an animal? • • • #andtheoceanwasoursky #patrickness #bookstagram #booklove #yabooks #bibliophile #bookworm #igreads #instabooks #yafantasy

I love reading books that take place in boarding schools, and I’ve been thinking about some of my favorite ones since everyone has been heading back to school! While everyone else was wishing they could attend Hogwarts, I wanted so badly to be at the Gallagher Academy! • • What fictional school do you wish you could attend?? 🍎 • • • #idtellyouiloveyoubutthenidhavetokillyou #gallaghergirls #allycarter #thefixer #jenniferlynnbarnes #annaandthefrenchkiss #stephanieperkins #harrypotter #jkrowling #bookstagram #booklove #yabooks #ireadya #igreads

A few weeks ago I marathoned through both Illuminae and Gemina, and I absolutely adored them! I’m currently waiting for my hold for the Obsidio audiobook to become available from the library, so I thought now would be the perfect time to feature an aesthetic of Illuminae for the Weekend Aesthetic (link in bio)! 🚀💥 • • What series do you still need to read the last book in? • • • #illuminae #gemina #obsidio #theilluminaefiles #amiekaufman #jaykristoff #getunderlined #bookspines #booksandflowers #yascifi #ireadya #bibliophile #bookworm #bookstagram #booklove #igreads

If months were colors, September would be orange for me. It’s the perfect color for the end of summer and the beginning of fall! 🧡 • • Do you associate any months with colors? • • • #whendimplemetrishi #sandhyamenon #orangebooks #bookombre #ombrebooks #bookspines #booksandflowers #theepiccrushofgenielo #lolaandtheboynextdoor #theimpossibilityofus #harrypotter #harrypotterandthedeathlyhallows #illuminae #illumnaefiles #windwitch #witchlands #fcyee #stephanieperkins #katyupperman #jkrowling #amiekaufman #jaykristoff #susandennard #booklove #igreads #bookstagram

If you liked TO ALL THE BOYS I’VE LOVED BEFORE, then you should read I BELIEVE IN A THING CALLED LOVE next! This book follows Desi Lee, an overachieving Korean-American teen, as she tries to get her crush to fall for her based on love tips inspired by the k-dramas her father watches. This hilarious rom-com is not to be missed! 💐 • • Have you watched any k-dramas before? • • • #toalltheboysivelovedbefore #jennyhan #toalltheboys #maurenegoo #booksandflowers #ibelieveinathingcalledlove #bookstagram #yabooks #booklove #igreads #yabookstagram #yaromance #yacontemporary

ALWAYS NEVER YOURS is definitely one of my favorite book covers this year, so I of course had to recreate the bouquet featured on it! I hope to read this debut soon as it sounds like a book I’m going to love! 💐 • • What was your last cover buy? 😍 • • • #alwaysneveryours #emilywibberley #austinsiegemundbroka #yacontemporary #bookworm #bookstagram #booklove #booksandflowers #yaromance #igreads #bookstagrammer #yabookstagram

I’ve always been a fan of sport romances (probably because I was an athlete in high school), but I especially love any that feature baseball! I actually read Dare You To and Stealing Parker when I was still in high school! The Game Can’t Love You Back and Out of Left Field both released earlier this year and I devoured them over the summer! • • Do you root for any professional baseball teams? ⚾️ • • • #dareyouto #pushingthelimits #katiemcgarry #stealingparker #hundredoaks #mirandakeanneally #catchingjordan #thegamecantloveyouback #karolecozzo #outofleftfield #krishuilee #sportsromance  #yacontemporary #bookworm #bookstagram #booklove #FIREreads #GetBookLit #yaromance #igreads #bookstagrammer #yabookstagram #baseball

Happy fall! It’s still pretty warm where I live so I’m still wearing lots of dresses, but I’m excited for the all the sweaters I’ll get to wear once it cools down! I think it might be time to start baking pumpkin bread, one of my favorite treats! 🍂 • • What is your favorite part of fall? 🍁 • • • #thewratheandthedawn #reneeahdieh #secondchancesummer #amyandrogersepicdetour #morganmatson #metaltown #kristensimmons #thecheerleaders #karathomas #16waystobreakaheart #laurenstrasnick #whendimplemetrishi #sandhyamenon #reignofthefallen #sarahglennmarsh #romancingthethrone #booksspines #nakedbooks #bookworm #bookstagram #booklove #igreads #bookstagrammer #yabookstagram
