Do you collect any art prints? How do you store them?

Crescent City House of Earth and Blood intimidated me at first but after the time jump I rushed through this to the end and really loved it. The cushion is inspired by the book and I love the art print.

I’ve recently got a scrap book with the intention of sticking in my prints with a mini review of the book.

Where is your favourite place to read?
For me it’s curled up on the sofa with a hot cup of something, a candle burning, some peace and quiet and a cosy blanket.

I couldn’t wait for my copy of Blood & Honey because I needed to know so I got an ebook copy whilst I wait for my two book boxes to arrive...

My full review and notes are on good reads but do contain spoilers
So for a spoiler free review - Blood & Honey is quite different to the first book. I really enjoyed it. It went quite dark at times, was atmospheric and just saw things sort of spiral into some dark places. The romance is minimal but the character arcs are really interesting. It feels more character than plot driven, as the whole thing takes place in just a couple of weeks. I loved learning more about Coco. Both the Dame Rouge and Dame Blanche matriarchs make an appearance in this one too! I still have a lot of love for Lou and Reid. I will def be reading this again when I have my physical copies.

Rep post - @emberstagcandles have a Lou and a Reid. Lou is yummy and Reid is like a breathe of fresh air. Swipe to see a little animated piece of both candles. You can use code CANDYFLOSS10 to save 😍

Is there anything you can say “bookstagram made

Is there anything you can say “bookstagram made me do it?” to?

Yes. @oddsocks.blog made me find #fairyloot which made me find #illumicrate which made me find @madamealchemie which made me find @readingroom.candleco which made me want to join in with #readingroomcandlecult #readingroomwednesdays and made me find @obsessive_bibliomaniac who made me find monthly readalongs. I have a lot to be thankful for bookstagram - the friendships, the conversations, the book discussions, the recommendations and various amazing businesses that now have all my money because I apparently choose the fandom life.

Throne of Glass collectors edition book pictured with the Stars Eternal candle and Aelin & Manon tarot cards for #witchywednesday - I like this series, but mostly from book 3 onwards and I don’t like Chaol 🤷‍♀️

I have ran out of flatlay photos. The back to school rush has completely made me lose track of what I’m doing so here is an old photo from my bank of photos that is going to look out of place but does display a really beautiful piece of art from The Winternight Trilogy. I read this series this year and enjoyed it. Vasya quickly became one of my literary heroes who is snarky, interesting and fierce. I may reread this trilogy over the winter as it’s a perfect read to get cosy with.

Have you read this series?

Hello, Hello!
How has your Monday been? What have you got planned this week.

I’m feeling better today. I’ve been much more productive which has made a huge difference to my start to the week.

#madamealchemiemonday sharing my two lipbalms which are both lovely and have been perfect over the summer. I have Ifrit on order and I can’t wait to add more to my collection.

I first read The Invisible Library in January and enjoyed it. I’d love to see more love for this book. I do need to read the rest of the series.

What makes you feel better after a bad day/week?

For me it’s a comfort read, a huge cup of tea or hot chocolate, a snuggly blanket and a cuddle with my littles.

I have had a really rough week. I can’t put my finger on why. I feel a little bit lonely, a little bit anxious with the rising cases and my daughter being back at school. I feel a little bit lost. I feel a little bit lacking in focus. I feel a little bit sad. It’s also been a bad week for pain. I don’t suffer with anything chronically but sometimes my anxiety manifests as physical pain, mixed with hormonal migraines this week and just many other frustrations it’s been very draining.

The point in all this is to say what I said in my stories. That we all experience things that sometimes make us feel a little lost, overwhelmed and out of control. We all have hardships and things we need to work through. Sometimes they are simple and sometimes they are just not. Tomorrow is another day, a new week where I will be kind and gentle to myself. I will write my list and try to work through it. It’s not about getting through it all, but it’s about doing something that helps me feel productive and makes me feel good.

Rep/influencer for @emberstagcandles - One of my comforts is a big cup of tea. This one is in the shop now, it smells delicious. If you want to make a purchase you can save with code CANDYFLOSS10 - if you want to see some of my favourite candles I’ve made my first reel which is in my stories.

Hormonal migraines are the worst.

This week has been pretty exhausting. Tomorrow we are getting rid of our bedframe that’s very broken. Our backs can’t take it anymore. Have you read this one? I really enjoyed it last month! I thought it would freak me out because Spiders but it didn’t!
