REVIEW POST 🌑 I usually wait a few days before posting a review, but this one simply cannot wait. RECURSION is probably my favorite read of 2019 so far. (Which is saying a lot since I finally got down to reading GOT this year.) 🌑 Recursion follows a NYPD cop, Barry, and Helena, a scientist, who seem to be living separate lives...until Helena creates a chair that allows people to relive their memories. Told in a dual timeline that is in no way linear, RECURSION challenges us to truly think about memories, the power it holds, how much progression relies on what happened in the past. 🌑 Gotta admit, this book made deeply uncomfortable at times. But it was the good kind of uncomfortable, the kind that made me question things, really think about the power of my own memory and what that means for storytelling. 🌑 This book was intense. Fast-paced with short chapters and dual POVs. I just couldn’t put it down and ended up reading most of the book in one sitting. 🌑 RECURSION is one I’m gonna be thinking about for a long time. 🌑 Challenges: #AlltheBooksJune19 — road trip reads #tinylovejune19 — mastermind #FearYourNovelChapter — picnic #WildAdventuresJune19 — Belly Conklin: summer reads 🌑 #recursion #blakecrouch #amreading #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookworm #bookcover #bookflatlay #reader #novel #fiction #scifi #bookreview #bookblog #book #novel

Besides reading, what are some of your hobbies? 🌟 Life has been so busy lately, and I ended an EXTREMELY long week with seeing Vampire Weekend with one of my best friends. I’ve been waiting *forever* to see Ezra Koening live. It was an incredible show. 🌟 Music is one of my other loves. I am in no way musically talented, but I use music when I’m writing. My first step is almost to always make a project playlist. 🌟 Challenges (all from yesterday): #AlltheBooksJune19 — reading next (The Queen’s Rising is next on my TBR) #FireheartJune19 — haven’t read yet #tinylovejune19 — sassy character (oh my gosh, I can’t handle Keralie in Four Dead Queens) #FearYourNovelChapter — books in your country’s colors (Flag Day) #BooksRavenJun19 — freebie #WildAdventuresJune19 — Ivy Tamwood: tragic backstory 🌟 #thequeensrising #rebeccaross #themodernfaerietales #hollyblack #fourdeadqueens #astridscholte #yalit #yafanfantasy #ireadya #fantasy #bookcovers #bookflatlay #bookworm #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookobsessed #books #novels

What’s a book that deserves alllll of the hype? 👑 [Review Post] Guys. I finished The Kingdom two nights ago and I can’t stop thinking about it. This is a book you need to push to the top of your TBR if you’re looking for a dark, a little bit sinister, and completely WILD ride. 👑 THE KINGDOM is perfect for fans of Westworld. I’ve been calling it a Disneyworld and Jurassic Park mashup, in which a robotic princess is accused of murdering one of the park’s employees. Told in interviews, court trial documents, and a first-person narrative from princess Ana herself, The Kingdom asks some pretty deep questions about what can go wrong when we push technology too far, and what it truly means to be human. 👑 I can’t recommend this book enough. (Please note there is a sexual abuse trigger warning for this novel.) 👑 Challenges: #AlltheBooksJune19 — candle love #FireheartJune19 — new favorite character #FearYourNovelChapter — road trip reads #BookRavensJun19 — wish I had read it sooner 👑 #thekingdom #jessrothenberg #yalit #yascifi #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #reader #bookworm #novel #book #bookish #bookflatlay #ireadya #scifi #bookcover

Where do you keep your books? ☕️ Swipe to see one of the many ways I’ve had to store books. I didn’t realize just how many of them I had until they literally began overflowing. There is a stack of books on every available surface in my room, but my desk is one of my favorite places. It’s my writing oasis, though as I delve further into my fantasy project, I’m realizing I want to change all of the contemporary novels I keep on my desk to some of my favorite fantasies. This area keeps me inspired. And writing. ☕️ Challenges: #AlltheBooksJune19 — share a #shelfie #FireheartJune19 — #shelfiesunday #tinylovejune19 — favorite villain — I love Eli and Victor and I also love Maeve because they’re all so complex #FearYourNovelChapter — sunny books #BookRavensJun19 — characters who love books #WildAdventuresJune19 — Hanna Donnelly — sci-fi ☕️ #vengeful #veschwab #queenofshadows #sarahjmaas #amreading #amwriting #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #yafantasy #scifi #yalit #bookworm #amwritingfantasy #bookflatlay #bookish #bookphotography #mydeskisamess

Who are your top auto-buy authors? 🌊 I’ve been reading Sarah Dessen since I was actually a teenager, so I always buy her latest books because of nostalgia. It’ll probably be a few weeks until I can dive into this one, but I really adore this cover. 🌊 Challenges: #FireheartJune19 — head in the clouds #tinylovejune19 — book with magic #FearYourNovelChapter — squad goals (National best friends day): SJM writes amazing friend groups. #BookRavensJun19 — #stacksaturday : blue books: world ocean day #WildAdventuresJune19 — Nina Zenik: character who inspires you. Nina is one of my top, but from the books in this selection, Lysandra and Laia really inspire me as well 🌊 #acourtofmistandfury #towerofdawn #sarahjmaas #atorchagainstthenight #sabaatahir #theravenboys #maggiestiefvater #strangethedreamer #lainitaylor #therestofthestory #sarahdessen #yalit #kidlit #reader #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #amreading #yafantasy #yacobtemporary #bookish #bookflatlay #bookworm

One of my reads in preparation for Bookcon was The Wrath & The Dawn. It’s been on my shelves for years, since around the time it came out all the way back in 2015. 🌹 The thing I loved most about this book was just how fierce Renée Ahdieh’s female characters are. There was never a moment when I thought: Shazi is weak, she can’t do this, she’s making the wrong decision. It was so effortless to fall into this story because of that, and I loved being swept up in the romance that took hold, that was most definitely a reminder that love has the ability to shock us, to find us when we least expect it, and show us the truth about ourselves. It was also a great look at how sometimes people use love as an excuse for the bad things they do, but how we can grow from those mistakes. 🌹 The Rose & the Dagger has been added to my TBR, and I really hope that the magic and the world-building feel a little bigger in the second book. There were a few times when I didn’t understand the rules to this world, but compared to everything else that was happening (also I love Khalid, just saying), it was easy to move on. 🌹 I have so many questions. JALAL. KHALID. What’s going to happen to my ships? What’s going to happen next in this series? 🌹 I can’t believe it took me this long to pick this book up. 🌹 #thewrathandthedawn #renéeahdieh #yalit #yafantasy #book #bookflatlay #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookworm #reader #amreading #bookish #bookphotography #series #bookcover #bookreview
