How often do you organize your shelves??? 📚 I’m sitting here staring at my messy shelves and think it’s time. Of course, not today, because I just cleaned the house and have no desire to end my day in a ball of tears and regrets 😂 so, I need to mentally prepare for this. 📚 Speaking of mentally preparing. I’m already trying to figure out how many books to pack for Tahoe. Two weeks, questionable weather... I’m thinking at least 15? 20? I mean, there’s a fireplace. Giant windows. A pile of pillows and blankets. I’m not sure I’m going to leave the fire nest once I settle in. We’ll see. I’m going to be visiting family and am planning writing sessions. So I don’t know. Let’s not even talk about how to plan for #moodreading when I don’t even know my mood. Ugh. #booknerdproblems 📚 Anyhoo. I’m using a #rainbowbookspines to showcase my @bookofthemonth for #letsgetlitjan20 #collectorsedition prompt. And obviously, this cover is seriously perfect for #nightwormschallenge #popcornday you need a snack to read it and now I need popcorn 🍿

You’ve been given a ticket to Dreamland! Where are you going? 🎟 Today my dreamland consists of bed, blankets, and books. But last night, I was transported to one of the best shows, and I can’t believe I haven’t managed to catch a #toolmusic show before! It was insane and I loved every laser filled minute!!! Of course, we didn’t get in until early this morning, so while I’m happy, I’m tired and barely know what planet I’m on right now. It’s very rock and roll of me and I don’t hate it 🤘🏻 🎟 My mood is perfect for the intoxicating delirium this book wrapped me in. Part historical fiction, part murder mystery, entirely a captivating exposition on class politics dating back to the early 1900’s, #dreamland is a delicious blend of decadent extravagance facing the darker edge of privileg. Melancholy and cutting, Dreamland is reminiscent of #thegreatgatsby while boldly standing entirely on its own. Thank you @endeavour_media and @tudorscribe for sending me this awesome review package! Check out my full review on my blog, link in my bio 🖤

What’s your favorite retelling? 🧟‍♂️ Anything with a dark, dark twist is always going to be a win with me. I also love when we get the story from a different perspective. Like @authorkierstenwhite #thedarkdescentofelizabethfrankenstein 🧟‍♂️ Everything about this book was viciously delicious. True to the original, but told from Elizabeth’s POV. The prose is dark but like any classic gothic tale it’s decadent. You can wrap the shadows around your shoulders, delighting in the bids to the classic while boldly defining Elizabeth on her own terms. 🧟‍♂️ Obviously there wasn’t another book to post for #nightwormschallenge prompt #frankensteinfriday and while it may seem an odd choice for #letsgetlitjan20 prompt for #accessories allow me some morbid creativity. I mean, #frankensteinsmonster was a mix of parts and pieces, some may even say, built to be an accessory for #frankenstein ego?! Maybe? It’s a stretch but that’s what I got 😂😳💁🏼‍♀️ zombie fingers could also be an accessory. As, you know, they fall off... I know. I’m terrible. Blame the prompts 🙃 . . . . . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagramchallenge #readhorror #darkretelling #elizabethfrankenstein #gothichorror #classichorror #horrorretelling #jenabrownwrites #horrorlife #horrorlifestyle #gothiclife #gothiclifestyle #zombiefingers #bookphoto #bookphotography #bookstanerd #booknerdigans #nightworms #horrorgirl

If you could have any #bookishpet what would it be??? 🐲 I know. Iyla and I are so predictable aren’t we? Dragons. Always dragons. And I want ALL the dragons. Tiny teacup dragons that nestle in my hair. Giant ferocious dragons I can destroy Kings Landing with. Medium dragons that I have to take for walks. I wants them all!!! 🐲 I’ve been trying to read more #novellas this year, so I started my #novellastack with my last @bookoutlet order. And I’m super excited to dive into these because one, @anovelescape has been raving about #themurderbotdiaries for awhile now, and hello, that title just bleeds my name. And two, #binti is being made into a show and I am here for delicious new #scifi content!!! If I see one more ghostbusters remake I may turn into a #murderbot and start writing my own diary. Just sayin 💁🏼‍♀️😘💁🏼‍♀️ . . . . . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagramchallenge #nightwormschallenge #nightworms #letsgetlitjan20 #bookishpets #tordotcom #torbooks #jenabrownwrites #booklife #bookishlifestyle #booklifestyle #bookphoto #bookphotography #readscifi #scifibooks #scifireads #ireadscifi #bookoutlethaul

What makes a literary friendship stand out to you??? 🤓 I love authenticity in my friend circles. Both in real life and on the page. Friends who give each other a hard time but are always ready to go to the ends of the earth for each other. Banter is always one of my faves, especially is there’s a sarcastic smart ass in the mix. I just love characters I can visualize. And I love love love when I can picture joining the group. Those are the best! 🤓 So obviously I don’t have the *actual* #miscreations book for today’s #nightwormschallenge prompt. BUT when paired with #letsgetlitjan20 prompt for #friendships #thesacrificebox literally jumped out of its box and demanded to be photographed. And when books do freaky things, you just comply. Things are definitely miscreated in this book and the friendships are the complicated messes I live for. Also, there’s nervous flossing. My husband is a nervous flosser and seriously, I died when I read this detail! DIED!!! Anyway. If you love #ya and love #horror this book is seriously for you!!!

What are you #currentlyreading ??? 📖 I am about 100 pages into #n0s4a2 and 😳😳😳 I’ve been dying to read this book for years and finally tracked down a decent copy of this delicious edition and gave myself permission to then read said delicious edition. Do you ever do that? Want a specific version of a book and then find yourself reluctant to read the version you specifically chose because you don’t want to ruin the pretty? Ugh. #bookwormproblems amiright?! 📖 Anyhoo... this book is super fitting for my creepy January #horrorextravaganza I inadvertently found myself on. It’s also prefect for the #nightwormschallenge for many reasons. And not just because the prompt is for #currentreads As far as #letsgetlitjan20 prompt for #iconic well, I love this book for that too. I mean. Vampires = iconic. Skulls = iconic. Christmas = iconic. Christmas horror 🤔 I mean it’s definitely epic, which is at the very least cousin to iconic, so I’ll take it. Plus, @zacharyquinto plays #charliemanx and he is the ultimate villain in every goddamn thing he does, which is pretty iconic, IMO 🖤🖤🖤
