Bought yet another bookcase and decided to move everything into my brother’s old room to convert it into my own personal library/office 😎📚 If you ignore the boxes of stuff he still has in the corner it’s a pretty sweet spot! haha #library #bookstagram #booknerd #solitude (as much as I love putting this room together I’ll admit I’d rather have my housemate back haha #siblinglife)

🗝Thank you @crownpublishing for sending me a copy of #FOUNDRYSIDE by Robert Jackson Bennett!! I’m a lover of fantasy and this book did not disappoint so if that’s a genre you vibe with too then give this one a look! My review is up on pooledink.com now! ..... Foundryside begins with a small grain of perspective that quickly and continuously evolves into a multilayered plot to destroy the world as they know it. Following heist after heist, characters thrown together and bound by tenuous alliances, and an industrialized form of magic that holds their realities together, one nobody thief just might have the key to history and with it unlock a whole new and unexpected future. This is a definite read for fans of fantasy and mayhem. (Also check out A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab, Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, Nevernight by Jay Kristoff) #bookstagram #pooledinkreviews #foundryside #fantasy #fiction

My latest library haul! Fantasy, murder, and thieves. Huzzah! 🗝The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch is a recommendation for those who enjoyed Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows but looking for something a bit more adult. 🏺The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty is a YA fantasy filled with magic and centers around a female con artist in Egypt. 📓One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus is like The Brealfast Club except this time not everyone makes it out alive. 📚I’m currently reading Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett, a fantasy starring a thief and a job that changes everything. I can’t wait to read these books and share my reviews with you! #bookstagram #libraryhaul #fantasy #fiction #youngadult

CR: Sowing (The Purification Era #1) by @angiegrigaliunas 🔥 I actually really like when a book (or movie) includes a prologue. I know some people find them unnecessary (and okay yeah sometimes they can be) or dull (like when it’s just a big info dump of boring backstory/explanation bc the author couldn’t be bothered to try and weave it throughout the natural world-building or plot) but in general I like how they can drop you into a situation that hooks you (or confuses you lol) so that when the story zooms out/rewinds/fastforwards to Chapter One you’re even more ready to read the story if only to return to the vibe of the prologue and finally understand what the hell was going on. 😜 What’s your stance on prologues? Yay? Nay? Or (most likely) Don’t Care? ..... My review for this book will be up next week and I’ll be diving into the sequel next! Thanks Angie for reaching out to me about reviewing your books! 📚💕 #bookstagram #pooledinkreviews #thepurificationera #YAfiction #fantasy

Finally got the new covers for the Chaos Walking Trilogy by @patricknessbooks!! 🚀 They include the short stories so it was really only a matter of time before I caved and added them to my collection haha 😄 #chaoswalking #bookstagram #pooledinkreviews #YAfiction #scifi ⚖️ (P.S. I absolutely cannot wait for the movie!!)

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.” #GeorgeRRMartin 🎒🏔 #bookstagram #pooledinkreviews #fantasy #fiction #travel (P.S. Does anyone else’s suitcase look like it hid a grenade inside when you get back from a trip? 😜 I’m such an organizer that just looking at this picture has me a bit stressed out haha)
