Alpha Stack - C 🐛 For this week's #saturdaysta Alpha Stack - C 🐛 For this week's #saturdaystack I bring you some of my books beginning with C. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - a childhood favourite. Roald Dahl's books are just magical. Cloud Atlas - one to persevere with I think. I remember the first chapter being so tough but then I was into it. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - this was like a cult read when I read it many moons ago! Conversations with Friends - Sally Rooney's debut which is a corker. The Cellist of Sarajevo - very moving story about the people who live in Sarajevo whilst their city is under siege. Really enjoyed this one. City of Girls - I've banged on about this enough and you can read more on my blog *shameless plug* Committed - Another Elizabeth Gilbert! The follow up to Eat, Pray, Love that talks about marriage and relationships. I'd love to know what you think of any of these! There's some oldies but goodies here. #alphastack #bookstackchallenge #bookstack #bookspines #booklove #saturdayreads #bookinspiration #igbooks #readersofinstagram
Happy Friday book lovers. It's almost the weekend, Happy Friday book lovers. It's almost the weekend, we're nearly there! I've got a new post up on the blog sharing 6 books that have been translated to English that I think you should read. It's another way to expand your reading and hear new rythyms in language - we've always got space to add some more books to our lists, right? Link is in the bio! Hope you enjoy. #bookblogger #bookstagramuk #igreads #translatedbooks #booksofinstagram #bookpile #thetravellingcatchronicles #booksandcats #lovetoread
The maybe baby July TBR 😆 I don't really plan The maybe baby July TBR 😆 I don't really plan all that too much what I'm doing to read, I didn't realise till I joined #Bookstagram how much people organised their To Be Read piles. Mine is infinite! So I thought maybe this month I'd take a little stab at books I'd like to read in July (or soon). We have: Calypso by David Sedaris White Girls by Hilton Als Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo Living Dolls: The Return of Sexism by Natasha Walter This list though is subject to change as I will inevitably buy something new and get excited about it, remember a forgotten gem on my shelf or just wake up and fancy a poetry collection. What's your reading plans for July? #julytbr #toberead #bookstack #calypso #whitegirls #girlwomanother #livingdolls #booklover #bookworm #instabook #bookcommunity #readingiscool #bookishlife
June Wrap Up Somehow it's July already (I know, w June Wrap Up Somehow it's July already (I know, when did that happen?) which means it's time to reflect on what I read during June. I got through these 6 books, some new and some I've had on the shelf for ages. There's a post on the blog with some more bits about these books and what I plan to read in July. Link in the bio! #julywrapup #bookblogger #cardiffbloggers #igreads #bookstack #bookstagramuk #bookishcommunity #lovetoread #bookishlove #bibliophile #booklover #bookpile
NEW POST ON BEHIND HER BOOKS I was recently sent NEW POST ON BEHIND HER BOOKS I was recently sent @parthian_books upcoming release 'Just So You Know' to review. This essay collection is diverse, interesting and insightful, and shines a light on topics that you don't often read about. Full review is on the blog - link in bio. #bookreview #bookblogger #cardiffbloggers #parthianbooks #justsoyouknow #essaycollection #nonfictionbooks #diversebooks #igbooks #readersofinstagram #booklover #lovetoread #welshpublishers
Currently Reading How gorgeous is this cover? Mak Currently Reading How gorgeous is this cover? Makes me think of holidays and floating in the pool with the sun in your eyes. Ah if only, right? I bought this book based on nothing except intrigue. It's easy to only buy stuff you hear about online but sometimes it's fun to just pick something that catches your eye. What are you reading at the moment? #currentlyreading #bookstagramuk #dauntbooks #bookblogger #booklover #bookrecommendations #ilovebooks #bookphotography
New blog post ✨ My weekly Sunday Stories post i New blog post ✨ My weekly Sunday Stories post is up on the blog where I chat about books, podcasts and films from about 30 years ago that I'm still watching, rather than anything current. Grab a cuppa and take a read 😊 Ps I'm not still in bed as this photo suggests (although no shame if you are, it's miserable and lazy Sunday's are the best). #bookblogger #bookphotography #bookaesthetic #bookaholic #bookishcommunity #sundayreads #booksofinstagram #readingtime
Alphastack - B 🐝 This week's rainy edition of Alphastack - B 🐝 This week's rainy edition of the #alphastack brings you my books starting with B. The Bell Jar - a book everyone should read (in my opinion) about rejecting societal norms and forging your own identity. Breakfast at Tiffany's - on my TBR! Of course I love the film but never got round to reading the book. Boy: Tales of Childhood - a childhood favourite! I love Roald Dahl and this one's about his own adventures. Before I Go To Sleep - I remember when I read this I could not put it down. The epitome of a page turner! The Book Thief - Somehow I only read this last year. An incredible story of a young girl in Nazi Germany who steals books. So, so good. The Bear and the Nightingale - a beautiful winter story full of magic and steeped in folklore. Big Magic - a non-fiction about the magic of being creative and breaking down the misconceptions of the creative process. Born Confused - this is another from my childhood bookshelf. I read this so many times! It's a great coming of age story about 17 yo Dimple Lala who is trying to find herself and love. Let me know if you've read any of these! #bookstackchallenge #bookstack #booksbooksbooks #allthebooks #booksofinstagram #booklovers #bibliophilelife #bookshelfie #booknerd #girlswhoread #bookish
Here's a random photo of a book that I got for £1 Here's a random photo of a book that I got for £1 second hand that I think I'm going to read soon. I miss charity bookshop finds! What's your best bargain? Completely unrelated, but as you're here, there's also a new post on the blog if you fancy a weekend read. #bookstagramfeature #books #ladychatterleyslover #classicbooks #igbooks #readersofinstagram #instabook #bookstagramuk #readingiscool #fridayreads #bookaholics #bibliophile
