I finally finished reading The Queens of Innis Lear by Tessa Gratton. It's an atmospheric and brooding King Lear pastiche that I thoroughly enjoyed, though I could have done without the flashbacks. There isn't very much action, and it is definitely character driven, not plot driven, so if you read for plot, this probably isn't for you. . . . #books #thequeensofinnislear #tessagratton #kinglearretelling #shakespeareretelling #queensofinnislear #bookstagram #instabook #shelfie

And overnight, I lose a bunch of followers, thanks to Instagram getting rid of bot accounts. I mean, good riddance to them, but why make an IG bot to begin with? . Anyway, I got this beautiful copy of The Picture of Dorian Gray for Christmas, and I am planning to reread it in the next couple of weeks. . . . #thepictureofdoriangray #oscarwilde #books #beautifulbooks #bookstagram #instabook #doriangray #tbr #toread

I started reading Ice by Anna Kavan today. It's a strange science fiction/dystopian novel about a man searching for an abused woman while trying to keep clear of totalitarian authorities as a climate catastrophe unfolds around them. It is strange and a little disturbing. I am about a third of the way through, so will withhold judgement until I am farther into it. Has anyone else read this? What did you think of it? . . . #annakavan #slipstreamfiction #sff #books #reading #amreading #instabook #bookstagram #britishauthors #sciencefiction

I've been feeling uninspired when it comes to bookish photos lately. I'm going to take some photos today, though, and see if the spark comes back. . . . #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookish #senseandsensibility #janeausten #booknerd #booklove

Part of my February reading plan is to get through some of the books I got for Christmas, especially Sisters of the Winter Wood by Rena Rossner. And who can resist Jane Austen? . . . #books #tbr #toread #sistersofthewinterwood #senseandsensibility #janeausten #bookstack #booklove #bookstagram #queensofrenthia #jadecity #pictureofdoriangray

It's not as cold here as it is in other parts of the Midwest, but the -19F windchill still makes me want stay in bed and read all day. Or bake. . I bought this beautiful hardcover copy of Elizabeth Kostova's book The Shadow Land on clearance for about $6. I've read The Historian, but nothing else by her. Has anyone else read it? What did you think about it? . . . #books #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #theshadowland #beautifulbooks #tbr #elizabethkostova #toread #instabook #booklove
