★ How do you keep track of the books you’ve read?    I want to get better at keeping a reading journal. Every year I try, and it lasts a few weeks before I forget and it’s four months later and I haven’t been keeping up with it!     I do love this reading journal designed by @whimsical.doodles that @illumicrate included in their August Dark Academia box though, and it’s refueled my desire to keep track this way!    I’m especially loving this page featuring a quote from @olivieblake, author of The Atlas Six. My friend @yelli3_reads recently gifted me this paperback for my birthday, and I’m looking forward to diving into it!    As always, you can use code LIBRARY5 to save on 3&6 month subscriptions when you sign up for @illumicrate!    ★ HASHTAGS //  #bookstagram #bookphotography #bookaddict #instareads #bookobsessed #booksbooksbooks #beautifulbooks #booktag #prettybooks #goodreads #bookhoarder #flatlayfriday #avidreader #totalbooknerd #booknerdigans #cozybooks #darkacademia #theatlassix #olivieblake #illumicrateaug2021 #illumicrate #readingjournal #journaling #journalsofinstagram #bookjournal https://www.instagram.com/p/CUODlXVvYdh/?utm_medium=tumblr

Q: What book(s) are on your autumn (spooky, witchy, dark academia vibes, etc.) TBR?. I have SO MANY books I want to read this fall, and I started with the @illumicrate edition of The Devil Makes Three 😈 - I'm about 50% done with it and I am LOVING IT so much! It's exactly what I wanted. Swipe to see the super cool pin included with the August Illumicrate. Also included in this photo are the US preorder (or library request) incentives - a bookmark, a signed bookplate, and two character cards with art by @jariarambaran - I love the artwork on these cards and I'm so happy to own them. 🎻 Oh yeah, this post is now a #SignedBookSundays post whoohoo!. Tess is your average girl just trying to survive private high school, working 2 jobs (one in a library!), and being a cello protégée. Eliot is your average boy, forced go to to private high school his father is headmaster of, forced to leave his sick mother in England, and oh yeah, he has magic. This book gives me college vibes rather than high school and I love that it feels on the older end of "young adult" so to speak. When Eliot needs a forbidden magical book in the library only Tess can access (she doesn't believe in magic, btw), he gets her help and together they journey to the basement, only to find something they didn't expect...and accidentally release the devil. I love the way the devil is seamlessly incorporated into this book and the world and its such spooky vibes - I recommend reading this at night for maximum horror effect!. I'll have a full review up on the blog in a few days once I finish this. But do check it out!. #BombBooks921 - Saints and sinners #readgushsept21 - Fall #booknookbingo - Thriller #IllumicrateAug2021 #TheDevilMakesThree #Illumicrate #BookLovers #BookBox #ToriBovalino #YAHorror #DarkAcademia #illumicratephotochallenge #boostingya #signedbooksunday #thedevilmakes3 https://www.instagram.com/p/CUSdXxWLfOL/?utm_medium=tumblr

★ Who are your favorite mythological figures?    I am in love with this Athena inspired teacup and saucer from @illumicrate! This gorgeous set features artwork by @niallcgrant and just LOOK at how stunning it is. I love the colors.    Some of my favorite mythological figures are Hades, Persephone, Koschei the Deathless, Baba Yaga, and Loki. Though I am obsessed with anything mythology inspired, as it is! One of my favorite books I read this year is Circe, it was incredible.    If you’re not already an @illumicrate subscriber, make sure you get your name on the waitlist!    You can use code LIBRARY5 to save on 3&6 month subscriptions with Illumicrate!    ★ HASHTAGS //  #bookstagram #bookworm #bookphotography #bibliophile #booklover #bookaddict #bookobsessed #bookish #booksbooksbooks #beautifulbooks #bookdragon #fantasybooks #prettybooks #totalbooknerd #booknerd #bookstack #stacksaturday #teatime #teacups #quietandstill #greekmythology #circe #madelinemiller #illumicrate #illumicrateaug2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CURCDJPlSEv/?utm_medium=tumblr

★ Do you use a reading journal or planner? Happy Friday, bookworms! I always say I am going to use one—literally every year—but by February I’ve forgotten about it and then feel bad that I didn’t keep on top of it. 🤣 I love this dark academia inspired journal from @illumicrate’s August Dark Academia box though! It included some great items for journaling that I am looking forward to using. You can use my rep code LIBRARY5 to save on 3&6 month Illumicrate subs! ★ HASHTAGS // #bookbox #bookstagram #bookphotography #bookaddict #instareads #bookobsessed #booksbooksbooks #beautifulbooks #booktag #prettybooks #goodreads #bookhoarder #avidreader #bookstack #booknerdigans #bookhoarder #bibliophile #myfavoritethings #seeingthepretty #simplethingsmadebeautiful #illumicrate #illumicrateaug2021 #darkacademia https://www.instagram.com/p/CVoiW2APYpm/?utm_medium=tumblr
