I am hoping to plan out my photos this weekend (with a spreadsheet of course) as I’ve been very unorganised this month.

Today has gone so fast! I’ve written up a review Today has gone so fast! I’ve written up a review of a recent read - Legendborn - which is up on my blog now. It felt really good to write as I haven’t for ages. That got the creativity going and I made some quote graphics for my Facebook page and then got them all scheduled up to March. I really want to write more in 2021. 

Godsgrave is a book I need to read this year. The tarot cards are from @fairyloot and the Lady of Masks perfume is for #madamealchemiemonday @madamealchemie

Morning friends. Hope you’ve had/having a good weekend. Do you have a favourite bookish quote or do you have any books with quotes on the cover/spine?

This is under the cover on the @illumicrate #dosab box which is just stunning. I love the under the dust jacket art too. I first listened to this on audio and really enjoyed it but I’m saving myself for reading the whole trilogy until the other editions are here later in the year. 

Pictured with @emberstagcandles Akiva and Karou candles which both look and smell absolutely gorgeous. There are still a couple of the dosab candle boxes available but not for long! I can’t wait for mine 💙

What is your favourite scent? My ultimate combina What is your favourite scent? 
My ultimate combination is Jasmine, Orange and Tonka Bean. It is just the right amount of sweetness, fruitiness and florals and I love it. It’s actually a scent mix I made myself ages ago so I haven’t found anything with that combination since 😂 

Early morning post today because I feel like i have stuff to do and don’t want to get too tired later. Are you up to much today? 

Just casually holding one of my favourite favourite roller balls from @madamealchemie High Lady is beautifully floral and opulent - this would be date night fragrance for me or at least evening fragrance. I love it. I think it was one of my first purchases too and even though I’ve tried many others this is a go to for me time and time again.

Honestly in the days of homeschooling and just lif Honestly in the days of homeschooling and just life right now I wish my coffee was as magical as this makes it sound although it is pretty good. 

Friends I have started Legendborn tonight with a read along group and I am hooked from the first page and that hasn’t happened in ages. I’ve also almost finished Lord of Shadows on audio. 

Do you bullet journal? Can you recommend some decent pens that don’t bleed through the page too much? If you don’t, how’s your reading so far this month, have you found a new favourite?

Do you have any hobbies outside reading/bookstagra Do you have any hobbies outside reading/bookstagram?
I have my blog, I love video games and when we are allowed to leave the house I do travel blogging and vlogging on YouTube. I have a violin I need to learn to play it! 

Today has felt weird but nothing has really happened. I was awake at 4.30 and have powered on through the day with homeschooling and all the regular stuff. I haven’t got much reading done but I’m looking forward to reading master of one this month and starting legendborn tomorrow - very excited for that one! 

For #wickwednesday I’ve pictured some @readingroom.candleco candles as I’ve just bought some of the new zodiac range which are absolutely gorgeous! 

F and I started playing mario kart today on the switch, he did okay at going backwards but then he is two!
