Hello bookstafam 👋🏻🤗 Sharing these two books which are part of my TBR pile. 😅 Been getting slower in reading lately. Well, at least I still have some time for my fave hobby. 🥰📖 Anyway, if you want to, please do share some of the books on your TBR list. Will check on them and probably add them on my list too hehe ✨️📚 #bookstagram #tbr #book #bookrecommendations #booktok https://www.instagram.com/p/CeYb_r5L6kv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
𝑇𝑜𝑙𝑘𝑖𝑒𝑛'𝑠 𝑇𝑢𝑒𝑠𝑑𝑎𝑦 «Жил-был в норе под землёй хоббит.» - Хоббит, или Туда и обратно, Дж. Р. Р. Толкин "Once upon a time, there lived in a burrow underground a hobbit." - The Hobbit, or There and Back Again by JRR Tolkien Happy Birthday, JRR Tolkien ♡ What a perfect day for celebrating Tolkien. I baked a wintry version of Hobbit Seed Cake (original recipe by Hannah @once.upon.a.september ) with cinnamon & chunks of chocolate. If I could share with my bookstafam, we could have some later with tea while watching the lotr films or flipping through this gorgeous encyclopedia that I got because of my friend, Lisa @shelfdetermined (yeah, because of bookstagram). Since I’m doing the Year of Russian Lit readalong, I decided to feature Хоббит courtesy of my partner & his amazing collection of Russian books. Btw, a bit of exciting news: my partner & I have decided to take part in the lotr virtual challenges to help reach our fitness goals this year—& by that I mean I found out about the challenges & brought them up on a whim & now I might end up regretting it lol. The virtual challenges are based on the lotr film trilogy & follow Frodo’s journey from The Shire to Mount Doom; you can do any distance workout & track your progress on an app. After each leg of the journey (e.g., The Fellowship or Mines of Moria), you're awarded a medal & you can even create your own fellowship with friends. It sounds like a lot of fun if you’re prepared to go the distance—the few hundred miles it takes to get to Mordor. I can already feel the burn lol. 𝑥𝑜 𝑁𝑜𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑖 ▪︎An Encyclopedia of Tolkien: The History and Mythology That Inspired Tolkien’s World by David Day ▪︎Хоббит, или Туда и обратно, Дж. Р. Р.

In the mood for a Black authored thriller that will grip you until the very end. Look no further. I got you bookstafam. Pick up a copy of Anywhere You Run by Wanda Morris from your favorite indie bookstore and prepare yourself for lots of suspense and great storytelling along the way. Thank you @williammorrowbooks and @bibliolifestyle for the gifted copy. QOTD: What book are you looking forward to reading this week? 📚SYNOPSIS📚 It’s the summer of 1964 and three innocent men are brutally murdered for trying to help Black Mississippians secure the right to vote. Against this backdrop, twenty-one year old Violet Richards finds herself in more trouble than she’s ever been in her life. Suffering a brutal attack of her own, she kills the man responsible. But with the color of Violet’s skin, there is no way she can escape Jim Crow justice in Jackson, Mississippi. Before anyone can find the body or finger her as the killer, she decides to run. With the help of her white beau, Violet escapes. But desperation and fear leads her to hide out in the small rural town of Chillicothe, Georgia, unaware that danger may be closer than she thinks. Back in Jackson, Marigold, Violet’s older sister, has dreams of attending law school. Working for the Mississippi Summer Project, she has been trying to use her smarts to further the cause of the Black vote. But Marigold is in a different kind of trouble: she’s pregnant and unmarried. After news of the murder brings the police to her door, Marigold sees no choice but to flee Jackson too. She heads North seeking the promise of a better life and no more segregation. But has she made a terrible choice that threatens her life and that of her unborn child? Two sisters on the run—one from the law, the other from social shame. What they don’t realize is that there’s a man hot on their trail. This man has his own brand of dark secrets and a disturbing motive for finding the sisters that is unknown to everyone but him . . .

Here’s one of the first photos I took for my Bookstagram! The Selection was one of the series that got me back into reading and I was so excited to get a tea inspired by the series in my first ever book box!
