    All These Things I've Done was really good! That book took me out of a reading slump I was experiencing, and was an absolute page turner. And Beauty Queens was so funny and entertaining! Hope you love them. 🙂

    Oh, Beauty Queens… I don't think I'll read it. I loved the Gemma Doyle trilogy, but Libba Bray's other books have fallen flat for me. I like her twitter though! She's so funny. Hope you enjoy your books this week.

    I loved Libba Bray's Gemma Doyle trilogy and have picked up Beauty Queens several times, but I always put it back. Same with Going Bovine. I should give them a try, though. I can't wait to hear what you think…maybe it'll give me the push I need. 🙂

Silly smiles. Messy hair. Poorly executed selfies. These are the things I take with me into the next year of my life. Thank you for all the birthday wishes! I feel the love! 💜 . . #happybirthday #happybirthdaytome #valialind #pursuepretty #pursuehappy #thehappynow #abmlifeisbeautiful #abmhappylife
Q O T D: What are you binge reading/watching right now? ✨ . Woohoo! YAY! The current WIP, aka the book that tried my soul, is finished. It’s funny how I think the original storyline has actually came back in this last rewrite. Just better. I can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks! Of Destiny is coming January 30th! ✨ . Now I might actually take some time to catch up on shows! Leave me your must watch in the comments! ✨ . Happy Friday, friends! ✨ . . . . . . . . #paranormalromance #readingtime #igreads #booklion #bookdragon #booklover #bookworm #booksofig #booksofinstagram #hawthornechronicles #valialind #yareads #yalit #readingisfun #bookoftheday #booksbooksbooks #igauthors #authorlife #kindleunlimited #kindlereads #bookaesthetic #bookcommunity #bookphotography #bookgram
Q O T D: What are some books on your TBR that you didn’t get to last year? ✨ . I read a few Ruth Ware books last year, but somehow completely skipped over her most popular one. But it’s going on the top of the list now! ✨ . But first. Today is a day I finish this book. I’ve had to delete and rewrite so much of it, it’s put me way behind schedule. But I’ve already made plans on how to help myself in the future if it happens again. It really is something, discovering your own way in the writing world. ✨ . Happy Thursday, friends! ✨ . . . . . . . . #booksandcoffee #booklover #bookofthemonth #bookofthemonthclub #bookoftheday #botm #booksparks #booksharks #thrillerbooks #thrillernovel #booksbooksbooks #bibliophile #booknerd #readingislife #bookish #booknerdigans #currentlyreading #bookster #goscribbler #booklion #bookphotography #bookblog #ruthware
Q O T D: How often do your rearrange your shelves? ✨ . I have a tendency not to when it comes to most of the shelves, except one. The one right next to my desk. It’s a new one and I keep adding and subtracting to the collection. I’ve got a lot of @bookofthemonth selections happening on this one. ✨ . Today has been quite a day already. Happy Wednesday, friends! ✨ . . . . . . . #bookofthemonth #botm #bookofthemonthclub #bookphotography #bookalcoholic #bibliophile #reading #bookshelf #booksharks #bookshelfie #bookworm #bookstacks #bookstagrammer #shelfie #bookishlove #allthebooks #bookstafeature #bookcommunity #readersofinsta #writerslife #booklife #readinggoals #toberead #instabooks
Q O T D: What are you trying to read more of this year? ✨ . I started this last year, but I’ve definitely went back to reading more thrillers and mysteries. They were my first love growing up, but when I started writing YA I stuck with that genre. Now, I’m learning that reading every genre is helping me as a writer. ✨ . I got these two beauties from @bookofthemonth and I’m so excited to add them to the TBR! Now, I just need to get back to reading more. It’s been a bit busy. ✨ . Happy Tuesday, friends! ✨ . . . . . . . #bookofthemonth #botm #bookofthemonthclub #bookoftheday #bookreadhappyhour #creativebookstagram #allthebooksjan20 #bookstack #bookpile #loverofbooks #bookaesthetic #booktography #bookdragon #avidreader #bookshark #thesundownmotel #recursion #blakecrouch #bibliophile #bookaddict
G o o d M o r n i n g ✨🌙 . QOTD: Do you have a favorite trilogy? ✨ . Funny enough, I never finished this trilogy. I recently picked up the paperback boxset, so I’m excited to do so. I remember enjoying book one! ✨ . Today though, it’s all about finishing my own trilogy. This book has been trying my heart. I feel like the more I write, the better I become as a writer, the more I struggle with stories. Mostly, because I keep finding new avenues to take my characters on, which requires me to go back and make sure I’m still hitting the plot points and then I’m in another avenue. It’s a never ending circle. But I hope that’s what makes my books better than before! I’m definitely taking more risks! ✨ . Have a wonderful Monday, friends! ✨ . . . . . . . . . #bookphotography #booksandtea #booksofinstagram #myeverydaymagic #alliseeispretty #ofquietmoments #bookstack #bookstagrammer #romancereader #yareader #igreads #readreadread #bookish #yalit #bookseverywhere #paperbackbooks #bookishfeature #bookseries #yafantasy #thekissofdeception #maryepearson #bookoftheday #bookaddict

I have 15K planned for the day! ✨ . QOTD: Do you have a favorite Greek mythology story? ✨ . This book have been recommended to me so much and now, thanks for @bookofthemonth , I have a copy! Did you know Book of the Month sends you a free book for your birthday? As if I needed another reason to love this box. ✨ . Happy Saturday, friends! ✨ . . . . . . . . .

It’s Friday! We made it! What are your weekend plans? ✨ . I have quite a few items on my to do list for the weekend. One of the main ones is finishing up current WIP and sending it off to the editor. It’s been such a busy week, I’m hoping for a nap in there somewhere too. ✨ . I’m also going to do some Instagram planning. Anything you’d like to see on my page? ✨ .
