My favorite used bookstore set aside an early edition of The Silmarillion for me. It's a book club version of the first American edition, so not as valuable as an actual first edition, but it still made me happy. . . . #shoplocal #thesilmarillion #tolkien #jrrtolkien #tolkienfan #tolkiennerd #bookstagram #favoritebooks #booklove
I'm still a bit sick and it's dark and ready to snow outside, so I curled up on the couch to finish reading Nina MacLaughlin's wonderful memoir about how she quit her job as a journalist and became a carpenter. Thanks to @abookolive for recommending this lovely book on her BookTube channel. . . . #hammerhead #memoir #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #shelfie #instabook #booklove
Another fantastic @tordotcompub novella! The Black God's Drums was the last book I read in 2019. It's about Creeper, a teenage girl in an alternate New Orleans. She stumbles across a secret about a missing Haitian scientist and uses that information to try to get hired onto the airship of the notorious Captain Anne-Marie. But Creeper hosts an African orisha, Oya of the winds and storms, and Oya's priorities don't always match up with Creeper's. . . This was a wonderful book I finished in one sitting. It's written with the region and culture in mind, and builds a remarkable alternate history of nineteenth-century US both quickly and believably. I definitely recommend this! . . . #theblackgodsdrums #tornovella #alternatehistory #historicalfantasy #fantasynovella #pdjeliclark #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #instabook #booklove
I received a copy of Emily Tesh's book, Silver in the Wood, for Christmas and I read it right away. It's such a lovely little story about Tobias, who lives in Greenhollow with his cat and dryad neighbors until the handsome and curious new landowner arrives and turns Tobias's life upside-down. Apparently, there will be another work in this world coming out from @tordotcompub in the future? If so, I am already looking forward to it! . . . #silverinthewood #emilytesh #novella #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #instabook #tornovella #sff #fantasynovella #LGBTQIAbooks
Frank Herbert's Dune is one of my favorite books ever, and I found this gorgeous edition at @barnesandnoble Noble while Christmas shopping. I decided to buy it as a Christmas gift for myself. And a big thanks to the B&N bookseller for helping me find a copy that didn't have a bent corner. . . . #dune #barnesandnoble #frankherbert #favoritebooks #sciencefiction #sciencefictionclassics #fearisthemindkiller #thespicemustflow
Happy New Year! And happy January! There are so many books I want to read in 2020, but coming up with a January TBR wasn't very hard for some reason. I read the first few pages of Shadow and Bone before bed last night, since I want to know what's going on before the show airs on Netflix. Witchmark or Amberlough will probably be next, as I have heard nothing but good things about them. . Happy reading in 2020! 📚 . . #bookstack #tbr #januarytbr #amreading #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #instabook #toread #shadowandbone
