It's a wonderfully cloudy day today with rain off and on again through the afternoon. I spent the morning dusting the shelves, a boring task I counterbalanced by playing with my cats and going out for lunch with a good friend. All in all, it's been a wonderful day! . . . #shelfie #bookstagram #tbr #toread #bookshelf #instabook #booknerd #booklove

I love this particular Everyman's Library series of classic novels. I intend to eventually replace all of my classic novels with them. The simple, elegant design appeals to me, as do the matching, aligned spines. . . . #everymanslibrary #classicnovels #janeausten #prideandprejudice #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #instabook #booklove

I'm about halfway through one of my current reads, Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert. It is the second book on the Dune Chronicles, and has a very different-- almost bitter-- tone from the first book. Instead of epic characters doing epic things, you have epic characters dealing with the consequences of their epic actions. . . . #bookstagram #dune #dunemessiah #frankherbert #amreading #currentreads #booknerd #sciencefiction

I just started reading Juliet Mariller's 1999 debut, Daughter of the Forest last night, and so far it is wonderful. It tells the story of a Sorcha, a girl with six brothers who are cursed by a witch. To save her beloved brothers, Sorcha must embark on a quest and leave behind everything she has ever known. . . . #julietmarillier #daughteroftheforest #fantasynovel #fantasticalireland #augustreads #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booklove #amreading

Part of my August TBR. I've been frustrated lately with some of the BookTube channels and book podcasts I listen to. They primarily talk about science fiction and fantasy, but it seems like they will only discuss a handful the most popular (white, male) authors. There are so many amazing authors who aren't white guys, and they don't get the attention they deserve. My reach is small, but if I can convince just one person to read a work I love that's written by a woman, then my job is done. . . August TBR: -The Riddle-Master of Hed by Patricia A. McKillip -Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper -Throne of Jade by Naomi Novik -Amberlough by Lara Elena Donnelly -Jade City by Fonda Lee -Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier -When True Night Falls by C.S. Friedman -The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold . E-galleys not pictured: -The Long Call by Anne Cleeves -The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow -A Hero Born by Jin Yong . . . #bookstack #TBR #Augusttbr #toread #fantasynovel #fantasybooks

I read the first nine books of The Wheel of Time years ago, and while I started out loving it, the farther I got into the series, the less I enjoyed it. I quit when I got to book nine. But that was years ago. I am going to give it another shot. I am currently reading The Eye of the World as a buddy read with Jackie @deathbytsundoku . . . #eyeoftheworld #wheeloftime #robertjordan #bookstagram #instabook #rereading #amreading #bookseries #fantasynovel #fantasybooks
