So…we have a little something different today guys. Something more personal, written by a guest, and something I feel the need to help share.

Latest Wrap Up!

As you might've seen on my story a few days ago, I recently bought Mythos by Stephen Fry after waiting for its UK paperback release (though I got through some more of my TBR before buying it), and now I'm SO excited to read it! Especially because I've got the audiobook, read by Stephen Fry himself, and it'll be my first time using audible 🙌🏻 I'm very happily using the free trial for a few months. So my first one shall be Mythos, which I'll be starting after I've finished my current audiobook read of The Woman in White, maybe in a week or so. Have you read this book? Any thoughts on this or audible? . . Other updates: I've been uploading a fair few booktube videos lately so I'd love if you could have a peep at them if you haven't already! Today's was a ramble update type all about Harry Potter, rereading books and university, but I've also recently uploaded my August Wrap Up and a Weekend Reading Vlog if you're interested! There's a link in my bio ✨☺️ . . #Bookstagram #bookstagramfeature #bookstagrammer #books #bookworm #bookish #bibliophile #reader #reading #booklove #booktube #booktuber #bookblog #bookblogger #culturetripbooks #mybookishfeatures #amreading #mythos #stephenfry #audiobook

I started September reading Victoria Schwab books - City of Ghosts and rereading Vicious - and honestly it was a fab idea ✨ her dark stories are perfect for autumn, and even though it's gotten warmer again here in the U.K. (really sun, please go away, now is not your time), I'm just going to pretend I'm frolicking around amongst fallen leaves and pumpkins 🍂 Are there any books you like reading in Autumn? #Bookstagram #book #books #bookish #bookblog #bookblogger #booktube #booktuber #bibliophile #read #reading #currentlyreading #bookworm #cityofghosts #veschwab #victoriaschwab

It's a bank holiday! (At least it is here in the U.K.) 🙌🏻 I act all excited when really, it makes no difference to me, a student currently on summer holiday 😂 BUT I've seen loads of people getting all excited about the longer weekend, so I'm gonna ask it - what have you been reading this weekend?? . . I finished reading both Melmoth by Sarah Perry and City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab, both of which turning out to be fun lil reads (3 stars and 3.5 stars, in that order) 📚Next ill be picking up The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins to start my uni summer reading - very late, whoops - and definitely reading that via audiobook, since it's such a long classic! I'm debating picking up another book alongside too, but I'm not sure which yet 🤔 we'll see! #Bookstagram #book #books #bookish #bookblog #bookblogger #booktube #booktuber #bibliophile #read #reading #currentlyreading #bookworm #currentlyreading #bankholidayreads

Sooo I recently finished reading The Essex Serpent and I feel like it just *might* have pulled me out of my reading slump. And for that very reason, I've immediately picked up Sarah Perry's new book - Melmoth - after being sent an ARC by the lovely folks over at @serpentstail (thank you!!) 🙈 I can't wait to see how Sarah Perry's writing adjusts to a different story and time period, and from the tiny bit I've read so far it seems eery in the best way possible. So we'll see how it goes! . . In other news, I've been gradually collecting the books I need for my second year of uni, and I'm getting so excited to go back! I know I'll be stressed as hell and complaining about all the stuff I have to do once I'm there, but I weirdly thrive from it? And having so many random books chosen out makes me SUPER intrigued to see what we'll do with them, how we'll break them down etc, so...yeah 🙈 another month or so to go yet! If you're on summer break, when do you go back? I go back on October 1st, and it feels so late! . In other OTHER news, just quickly wanted to mention I uploaded a new video on Friday (July wrap up and currently reading) and a new blog post yesterday (current favourites), so I'd LOVE and appreciate it very muchly if you could have a peep! Link in my bio to both ☺️💞 #Bookstagram #book #books #bookish #bookblog #bookblogger #booktube #booktuber #bibliophile #read #reading #currentlyreading #bookworm #theessexserpent #sarahperry

• Hello lovely peoples! • How're you this Sunday? I've just got home from a lil weekend trip, and I'm so excited to be planning a chilled "self care" evening, complete with Lush bath bombs, the start of an American Horror Story rewatch and possibly some reading. I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately, but I'm hoping to come out of it now because there are SO many books I want to read before starting uni again! All the ones in the photo are priority reads, but there's a fair few more - either ones I've been sent, preorders, or rereads I need to do before the next book comes out - that I want to get to as well. Not to mention any uni prep/summer reading! Gahhh the slump needs to vanish quick-time. Are any of you in this situation too - feeling like you're running out of time to read what you want? I'd also love to know if any of you have read and loved the books in the photo! Maybe it'll encourage me to *actually* pick them up sometime soon 😅 Hope you're all having a lovely, chilled Sunday! #Bookstagram #book #books #bookish #bookblog #bookblogger #booktube #booktuber #bibliophile #read #reading #currentlyreading #bookworm #spinningsilver #tbr #themagicians #thechildrenofjocasta

• Hey hey! • I'm back from my holiday! Remember that massive TBR I made for it? Yeah that failed 😂 the only book I read while away was I Am The Messenger - and half of that was on my journey home 😂 It was a good book though. I thought I'd finally caught up with at least *one* of the authors I want to read all books from, but found out when I got home that Markus Zusak actually has another trilogy out so...maybe not. But I'm definitely intrigued about them because I didn't even know they existed, so I'm wondering why they don't have as much hype 🤔 I've ordered them, so we shall see! Hope you've all had a fab day! #Bookstagram #book #books #bookish #bookblog #bookblogger #booktube #booktuber #bibliophile #read #reading #currentlyreading #bookworm #iamthemessenger #markuszusak
