I recently read Pride and Prejudice and The Outsiders for two of my classes, both of which I absolutely adored. The Outsiders is a book I adored in high school and it was nice to be able to reread it again. I was surprised with how much I actually liked Pride and Prejudice. It always seemed to be a book I would shy away from and now I just want to read all of Jane Austen’s work!

I rearranged my bookshelf to where the only books on it are books I haven’t read and four of the five shelves have been filled. I’ve resolved I can’t buy any new books until I finish a good bit of these. So far I have read seven books of all of my unfinished books, which is exciting. How many books have you read so far this summer? Feat. Mango who decided he wanted to chill on top of my books. He’s practically posing for the camera. • • • #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookfreak #bookworm #booklover #booknerdigan #bookaholic #bibliophile #book #books #reading #catsofinstagram #orangekitty

I just finished this book, and I really liked it. The first half was kind of boring, but I’m glad I pushed through and finished it because the last half totally made up for that. I will say this has a massive trigger warning for rape and/or sexual assault. It was a really powerful story about speaking your truth, and I really enjoyed it overall.

These are the three books I’ve somehow managed to read over the past week or so and honestly super proud of that. Obsidio has been chilling on my bookshelf since it was released last year and I am so glad I finally got around to reading it! I absolutely loved it. It wasn’t as great as the first two, but it was still pretty great. The Girls was kind of “meh” to me. It’s about the Manson Family Murders, but it did leave me wanting a bit more from it. Hex Hall was probably the most disappointing of these three because I had been wanting to read it for years. Unfortunately, it wasn’t original enough for me to really like it. It reminded me too much of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets with a little bit of Percy Jackson mixed in. I think I would have liked it in high school, but it’s just not my thing anymore, that kind of unoriginal and trope-filled kind of stories. It was just pretty disappointing to me. Obsidio: 5 ⭐️ The Girls: 3 ⭐️ Hex Hall: 3 ⭐️ • • • #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookfreak #bookworm #booknerdigan #booklover #bookaholic #bibliophile #book #books #reading #obsidio #illuminaefiles #amiekaufman #jaykristoff #thegirls #emmacline #hexhall #rachelhawkins

Introducing my cat, Mango, who decided to sleep next to my book. How to Make a Wish was SO GOOD. It’s definitely one of my favorite books I’ve read so far this year. The story follows two girls, one queer and the other bisexuality, as they try to navigate their hectic life with the loss of a mother and the struggle of having an alcoholic mother. I absolutely loved it. The love story was so beautiful and despite it having a darker overtone, it was really funny. I laughed quite a bit in this book. The rep for the LGBT community was also so great, and I just loved it so much. I did write a full review which is up on my blog now (link in bio). What is your current favorite summer contemporary?

I’ve been reading How to Make a Wish by Ashley Herring Blake and it is SO GOOD. It’s one of my favorites that I’ve read in quite a while. The bisexual rep is so great and I just am really enjoying this! What are you currently reading? 🌹 • • • #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookfreak #bookworm #booklover #booknerdigan #bookaholic #bibliophile #book #books #reading #howtomakeawish #ashleyherringblake #contemporary #lgbt #lgbtqia #queer #lesbian #bisexual
