Hello everyone and hope your week is going well? Today I’m sharing another shelf of books in my (giant) collection and I’d love to chat to you about them! I organise my shelves alphabetically by author surname and then I also have some favourites shelves, some nonfiction shelves and a TBR shelf! This is the top shelf of one of my bookcases and it holds some hefty hardbacks (the Wolf Hall trilogy), some hardbacks I need to read - Animal and The Dust Never Settles, a book I’ve read and now lives on my favourites shelf (Great Circle), some Bronte special editions and my beautiful monkey bookends which Mr B found for me in an antique shop. You can’t really see because it’s blocked (too many books right? 😂) but I also have a canvas picture of my sweet springer spaniel Mac who is sadly no longer with us but who will always have a special place in my heart. How do you organise your bookshelves? I’d love to know! Let’s have a chat in the comments! #bookstagram #bookstagramuk #scottishbookstagrammer #bookcollector #bookcollection #mybookshelves #wolfhalltrilogy #wolfhall #hilarymantel #bringupthebodies #themirrorandthelight #lisataddeo #animal #greatcircle #maggieshipstead #brontenovels #janeeyre #charlottebronte #villette #agnesgrey #annebrontë #theprofessor #wutheringheights #emilybrontë #thetenantofwildfellhall #shirley https://www.instagram.com/p/CfHZz8mLRAS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#HilaryMantel #TheMirrorandtheLight is along read. It’s meandering and zigzagging. A spark here and there, so it’s worth the read, right? https://www.instagram.com/p/CPP4dhvALOc/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just doing a bit of additional reading about the dissolution of monasteries in the 16th century, after the subject is raised in Hilary Mantels The Mirror & The Light. I’m really enjoying reading about this period in history! My history is like my geography, very bad! So apart from the main events it’s a bit of a revelation! 🤩 #readersofinstagram #hilarymantel #themirrorandthelight #henryviii #bookaholic #sundaymornings https://www.instagram.com/p/B__9LzEpoqS/?igshid=7eondqzihxcr

I mean...if you’re only speaking truth at beheadings, you might be doing it wrong. 🤔 I’m wrapping up my reading of #themirrorandthelight by Hilary Mantel. Her whole Cromwell series is absolutely brilliant, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. If you’re into historical fiction or just want some perspective, these books are for you. 📚 * * * * * * #wolfhall #historicalfiction #booksbooksandmorebooks #booktime #bookstagram #totalbooknerd #bookseries #readingislife #readinglife #readersofinsta #readeverything #quotelife #bookquoteoftheday #bookrecommendations #speaktruthtopower #quarantinebookclub #flatteningthecurve #stayhomeandread (at Saint Augustine, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_U2l-iAmBo/?igshid=1cboluts323lk

Top reviews & a teasing extract in the papers over the weekend for #TheMirrorandTheLight. . We have the *special edition* for independent bookshops coming next week! We've been taking pre-orders since Christmas, but have officially put it on the system this. That means you can find it online now. There might even be rare discount off RRP. . We won't be opening at midnight or anything silly like that, but if you do want it on release date, mark it for collection or priority shipping! . #wolfhall #hilarymantel #cromwell #harpercollins #bringupthebodies #historicalfiction #4thestatebooks #alwaysreading #readreadread #fortheloveofbooks #mustread #booksofinstagram #bookshopsofinstagram #readersofinstagram #prettybooks #bookstore #bookshop #sheffield #labiblioteka #bookcover #bookclub

Hello everyone and happy #stacksaturday ! Today I’m sharing my #bigbookstack which I’ve seen a few friends share on here. The books are: Sleeping Beauties - Stephen and Owen King The Luminaries- Eleanor Catton The Mirror And The Light - Hilary Mantel The Kingdom - Jo Nesbo Hame - Annalena McAfee The Sport Of Kings - C.E. Morgan The Starless Sea - Erin Morgenstern The Devil And The Dark Water - Stuart Turton I’m reading The Devil And The Dark Water right now and absolutely loving it and I’m hoping to read Sleeping Beauties and The Mirror And The Light soon. I’ve got a few large paperbacks on my shelves too but I thought I’d show my hardbacks first as they look so gorgeous. The Luminaries in particular has been on my shelves for a LONG time and I don’t know why, but I’m so intimidated by it! Can anyone reassure me of how wonderful it is and persuade me to read it? 😂 It would be great to know your thoughts about big books. Love them or loathe them? Also if you’ve read any of these books let me know your thoughts. Let’s have a chat in the comments! Hope you all have a lovely weekend 🤗😘 #bookstagram #booklover #bookstagrammer #ilikebigbooksandicannotlie #stephenking #owenking #sleepingbeauties #theluminaries #eleanorcatton #themirrorandthelight #hilarymantel #thekingdom #jonesbo #hame #annalenamcafee #thesportofkings #cemorgan #thestarlesssea #erinmorgenstern #thedevilandthedarkwater #stuartturton #bigbooksstackchallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/CKZbobhALSY/?igshid=6osgcfhqacp8

A birthday present from a friend, I inhaled Queenie in a week! Loved it!! As the library is shut (😱😱😱) it’s a good job I’d already got my next read on order! Can’t wait to start Hilary Mantel’s final instalment of the Wolf Hall trilogy! It’s a bit bloody big though!! Definitely won’t be taking that out and about! 😂😂 #readersofinstagram #queenie #candicecartywilliams #lockdownreading #wolfhalltrilogy #hilarymantel #themirrorandthelight https://www.instagram.com/p/B-kvhJQpEm1/?igshid=161hjtiokh3nk

I’ve been meaning to read this historical fiction series for awhile but omg it’s SO LONG! Maybe I’ll get to it before THE MIRROR AND THE LIGHT is published 📚❤️📖 #book #books #read #reading #bookish #booklove #booklover #bibliophile #readingwomenmonth #historicalfiction #wolfhall #bringupthebodies #themirrorandthelight #hilarymantel #bigbooks #bookstagram #booksofinstagram

Hey everyone, hope your weekend is going well! Today I’m sharing the final part of my birthday book haul. I was incredibly spoilt this year and feel very, very lucky. Confession time. The last time I tried to read Wolf Hall I DNF’d it. 🙊 I don’t know why, I love that period of history so much. The only thing I can think of is perhaps I wasn’t in the right mood? Anyway, I’m determined to try again and this set of the trilogy is so gorgeous I couldn’t help but be tempted. It might be a bit silly as I might not get on with it? We shall see. What I’d love to know today is has anyone had a similar experience to me? Have you tried to read Wolf Hall, DNF’d it then tried again and loved it? Let me know! #bookstagram #bookworm #booklover #beautifulbooks #wolfhalltrilogy #bookstagrammer #wolfhall #bringupthebodies #themirrorandthelight #hilarymantel https://www.instagram.com/p/CAlEBGDgCKY/?igshid=1nxm9satcc2hz
