MEET THE BLOGGER

Hello fellow bookworms, my name is Mia! I'm an English and Art History student with a love for adventure, antiheroes, and atmospheric settings. I'm here to talk YA books and the occasional adult fantasy or romance. Most of the time, you can find me curled up next to the fluffier members of my family and eating too many snacks.

“He woke to the feeling of rough ground beneath “He woke to the feeling of rough ground beneath him and the stench of mortal blood.” 👁🏺⚔️

Not me having to use the first line of the book as my opener quote because I still haven’t read it 🥴 it’s a pretty intriguing first line though I must say 👀

Have you guys ever been in a reading slump? I’m in one pretty bad rn and I’m struggling to find what to read to pull myself out of it. I 100% blame it on the fact that we are coming up on one year of quarantine and I have lost all motivation to do anything except scroll through TikTok and get my assignments done 🤧

So what are your best reading slump hacks? I need all the help I can get! 🙏🏼🖤

Anybody else feel like the number of 2021 new rele Anybody else feel like the number of 2021 new releases is already starting to kick their TBR in the butt? 🥵🙋‍♀️

I’m a pretty slow reader (at least compared to the rest of bookstagram it seems lol) so I always feel like there are a ton books I want to get to this instant, but I inevitably don’t get to them for months (sometimes years 🤧). I’ve been so eager to read Addie LaRue but there’s always another new release calling my attention!

Would you guys consider yourselves fast or slow readers? What’s a recent release you’re dying to get to? Lore, This Will Be Funny Someday, and Concrete Rose are all on my list!

I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead, I know I’m hoping to be productive but also squeeze in some rest & reading time 🖤🍂

*hides in shame at the fact I still haven’t read *hides in shame at the fact I still haven’t read this book* 🙈

Last night I started watching Bridgerton (loving it so far!), but it got me thinking a lot about what it’ll be like to watch the Shadow & Bone show. I’m simultaneously sooo nervous and excited, I just know that at the very least it’s gonna be visually stunning to watch (judging from the mini trailer we got) 🦌

But what is it going to be like seeing one of the most meaningful stories of my life be translated into a new format? Into a new storyline? I have high hopes, but I know some things I may be inevitably disappointed by. Blame the Percy Jackson movies, they gave me an eternal fear of adaptations 🤧

What are your thoughts on adaptations? Love them or hate them? Are you nervously anticipating the Shadow & Bone show like me? 🖤🌙

“Our stories are not bones left on the road for “Our stories are not bones left on the road for any hungry animal that happens along. Our stories have purpose. Souls. Our stories breathe, Laia of Serra.” ⚔️✨

For the past couple weeks I’ve been rereading parts of Ember, Torch, and Reaper before I start Sky, and I didn’t realize how many details I had forgotten! This series is truly a masterpiece 🖤 I’m scared out of my wits for Sky though because I’m firmly attached to Harper and Tas and I feel like they both are prime targets for tragedy 😭😭 (please no spoilers of course!) 

@banualcosmos remember when you made this sign for Sabaa at BookCon but chickened out and gave it to me instead? Yes I kept it and yes I will keep it forever 😎😎

Have you guys read this series? Don’t you think it would make the most amazing TV show? As I reread the battle scene at the end of Reaper I couldn’t help thinking how awesome it would be on screen! 🎥

Well, we finally made it to Friday, and I’m sure Well, we finally made it to Friday, and I’m sure you all can agree that this week has been...weird, to say the least 😅

Things just feel incredibly strange as we all try to process, acknowledge, and move forward from this week’s events, with hopefully real change on the horizon. But meanwhile I’ve been finding some solace in my nightly reading, even if it hasn’t been a lot, and I’m so thankful for that 🖤

Now to talk about something more uplifting: this series and how I’m absolutely DYING for book 3! Roshani left off Silvered Serpents in an even crueler cliffhanger than I expected (silly me, thinking one of my favorite authors would actually be nice 🙄😂). I love Enrique and Zofia and Laila and the whole gang so much, I’d happily read an entire book of them discussing cookies and baked goods just to tide me over 😂🙏🏼

Have you read this series? What did you think? Any working theories for the third book? Personally I think we might get a new perspective from a certain someone in the group who we haven’t read from yet! 👀

Happy first book release day of the year!! 🥳 Wh Happy first book release day of the year!! 🥳 What releases are you guys excited about? 

Personally I’ve been highly anticipating Lore, which will hopefully be in my hands soon as I wait for it to arrive in the mail! I’m also excited about The World Between Blinks, especially since I never read as many middle grade books as I would like to.

Do you guys like to preorder your anticipated releases? I’d say I’m about 50/50 in terms of preordering some and then getting others once they’re on shelves. Next week I think I’ll be taking a trip to B&N for Concrete Rose! 🌹
