“Sometimes you have to feel the past to believe it.”—All the Bad Apples by Moïra Fowley-Doyle • Happy Thursday! Today #ontheblog, I am reviewing and highlighting my favorite quotes of @moirawithatrema’s All the Bad Apples as a host for @theffbc’s blog tour. Check out my full RAVING review and favorite quotes linked in my bio. • Short Snippet of my review: Once again, Moïra Fowley-Doyle has created a beautiful atmospheric story filled with magic, mystery, and familial curses. • • • • • #allthebadapples #moïrafowleydoyle #penguinteen #blogtour #ifitsnotarantitsarave #bookreveiw #booktag #bookblogger #thefantasticflyingbookclub #ravingreview #bookstagram #booksofig #booksofinstagram #readersofinsta #bibliophile #treatyoshelf #booklove #yalit #yafantasy #bookcommunity #booksbooksbooks #bookstagramit #bookworm #booksharks #bookaesthetic #bookreviewer #partner #witchyreads

QotD: What are your favorite tropes to read? • I am a sucker for hate-to-love/enemies-to-lovers books. I love the slow burn and angsty chemistry that happens between characters that claim that they “can’t stand each other.” This trope is definitely one of the main reasons I love Darcy and Elizabeth in Pride & Prejudice. Their banter and stubbornness are 🔥🔥🔥. • • • • • #janeausten #prideandprejudice #darcyandelizabeth #mrdarcy #igreads #igbooks #instabooks #bookish #bookflatlay #bookgram #bookstagram #yabookstagram #amreading #goodreads #bookishlove #bibliophile #booksofig #booksofinsta #booksofinstagram #bookworm #bookdragon #allthebooks #bookstagrammer #allthebooksaug19 #booksandflowers #ilovereading #instareads #bookcommunity #booksbooksbooks #booknerds

Happy Tuesday! Today I wanted to highlight a Jane Eyre-inspired book sleeve that I ordered from @wildfreebaby after @edwardanddamon informed me that this beauty existed. • Whenever anything shows up about Jane Eyre, Caraval, The Night Circus, and The Cruel Prince, Ashleigh and I usually DM each other, in case one of us missed the announcement. Thank you for being the greatest, Ashleigh! • QotD: Is there a person that you tag or send private messages to regarding news about their favorite books/series? • P.S.—this booksleeve is absolutely gorgeous; it’s so sturdy but soft. And it came with a beautiful bookmark and the packaging was stunning. Thank you, Leslie! • • • • • #bookfriendsarethebestfriends #bookfriends #booksleeves #janeeyre #charlottebrontë #bookmerch #classicbooks #victorianliterature #gothicliterature #books

Happy Monday! What did you read over the weekend? • Because summer is winding down, I decided to indulge in some adult and new adult contemporary books this month. I love Renaissance Faires, so of course I could not pass up Well Met by Jen DeLuca. I am so happy @bookofthemonth was able to release it early. • Synopsis: All's faire in love and war for two sworn enemies who indulge in a harmless flirtation in a laugh-out-loud rom-com from debut author, Jen DeLuca. ⚔️ Emily knew there would be strings attached when she relocated to the small town of Willow Creek, Maryland, for the summer to help her sister recover from an accident, but who could anticipate getting roped into volunteering for the local Renaissance Faire alongside her teenaged niece? Or that the irritating and inscrutable schoolteacher in charge of the volunteers would be so annoying that she finds it impossible to stop thinking about him? ⚔️ The faire is Simon's family legacy and from the start he makes clear he doesn't have time for Emily's lighthearted approach to life, her oddball Shakespeare conspiracy theories, or her endless suggestions for new acts to shake things up. Yet on the faire grounds he becomes a different person, flirting freely with Emily when she's in her revealing wench's costume. But is this attraction real, or just part of the characters they're portraying? ⚔️ This summer was only ever supposed to be a pit stop on the way to somewhere else for Emily, but soon she can't seem to shake the fantasy of establishing something more with Simon, or a permanent home of her own in Willow Creek. • • • • • #wellmet #jendeluca #botm #goodreads #bookofthemonth #renaissancefaire #adultcontemporary #berkleypublishing #berkleyromance #bookstagram #ofquietmoments #treatyoshelf #bookphotography #booklover #readerlife #booklove #booksbooksbooks #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #booklife #bookish #booksharks #booknerd #bookworm #bookcommunity #booktography #booksofig #readersofinsta

Happy Friday, Book Ravers! • QotD: So far, what has been your most read genre this year? • Today I have something different for you other than adult fantasy or young adult fiction. This year, I am going through a contemporary romance binge/obsession, which, according to my Goodreads challenge, has set me 35 books over my goal of 100 books read. And whenever I get into a reading funk, Vicious by @authorljshen has been my book-slump cure. I love this hate-to-love/enemies-to-lovers romance. The main female lead is bold, sassy, and so independent. And god, the male lead, Vicious, is a sarcastic jerk, but I love his character development so much. They are the most perfect, swoon-worthy, nail-biting, and toe-curling couple. Whenever they pop into Leigh’s other books I am 🤤. • • • • • #ljshen #vicious #sinnersofsaint #contemporaryromance #adultromance #hatetolove #enemiestolovers #bookflatlay #coverlove #bookstagram #booksofig #instareads

What books or series do you associate with certain bookstagrammers, bloggers, or bookish friends? • I associate the following people with the following books/series: @pepperxmint with Scythe @novelknight with Caraval and Air Awakens series @superspacechick with Harry Potter and Name of the Wind @beauty_in_books17 with Strange the Dreamer @openasabookworm with Goosebumps series @authorjenniferlkelly with Emily Henry’s books @edwardanddamon with Caraval @somethingofthebook with Lord of the Rings @missprint_ with The Winner’s Trilogy @sailorbookworm with Nevernight @withthebanned with Daughter of the Forest And those are just a few book associations that I could think of at the top of my head. 😂 • • • • • #bookshelf #shelfie #bookish #bibliophile #treatyoshelf #readersofinstagram #instareads #bookworm #booknerd #booksharks #bookstagram #currentlyreading #bookstagrammer #booktography #bookphotography #spinningsilver #uprooted #naominovik #thewinnerstrilogy #thewinnerscurse #alchemyandink #canterburyroadco #novellyyours #bookishmerch #booksandcandles #ilovebooks #bookaesthetic #shelflove #bookobsessed
