What a schnozz, and what a book. This one has been on my list for a while because of my aliens kick, and it didn't disappoint. It's a lot more literary than I usually read, but still a very easy read that went super quickly. If you want something fun yet philosophical, definitely give this a go. What's the last book you read that was more philosophical? Do you like philosophical books or are they too heady for your taste? . . . . #readersofinsta #booksaremylife #bookobsessed #readersofinstagram #bookgeek #booksbooksbooks #bookblog #bookblogger #tbr #booknerd #bookish #bookshelf #bookclub #bookreviewer #bookworm #bookalicious #bookaholic #bookrecommendations #instabook #bookishlife #bookishpost #bookishflatlay #bookphotograph #writersofinstagram #writersofig #authorlife #writerscommunity #authorsofinstagram #writersofbookstagram

Hey everybody, I'm alive! 💜 NaNo had me busy all through November, and all my other social media consequently kind of fell apart hahaha. Today I'm posting pictures not just of books, but of a lovely AirBnb that a few writer friends and I rented for a few days during November so we could have a writers' retreat! It was my first time doing a retreat, and I have to say it was really inspiring; I hit a daily word count personal best of 2083. (Might not sound like a lot to some folks, but for me, slow writer extraordinaire, that's a ton.) It really drove home to me that getting out of your usual spaces to write can be a great way to mix things up and get words down on the page. #mindset etc. Anyway, I'm back in the land of the living, so just wanted to say hi to everyone. . . . . #writersofinstagram #writersofig #authorlife #writerscommunity #authorsofinstagram #writersofbookstagram #novelwriting #amwriting #readersofinsta #booksaremylife #bookobsessed #readersofinstagram #nanowrimo #nanowrimo2019 #nationalnovelwritingmonth #nano #airbnb #bookaddict #bookcaseselfie #bookcasedecor #bookish #bookshelf #bookworm #bookishlife #bookishpost

Anyone doing #nanowrimo this year? I participate every year, even though I'm a slow writer and I'll never hit 50k. My goal for this month is 21k, which I'd be really pleased with! I'm on track so far. 😜 Anyway, even though I'm a NaNo rebel I still love going to all the events--the meet-ups are actually how I met most of my friends, and now I've known my whole NaNo crew for years! I was so nervous going to my first meet-up, but I'm so happy I went. Are you participating this year? What's your project about? . . . . #novelwriting #nationalnovelwritingmonth #amwriting #fairytaleretellings #writersofinstagram #writersofig #authorlife #writerscommunity #authorsofinstagram #writersofbookstagram #bookishlife #bookishpost readersofinsta #booksaremylife #bookobsessed #readersofinstagram #bookstagram #bookgeek #yabookstagram #booksbooksbooks #bookblog #bookblogger #bookaddict #indiesareworthit #womenwhowrite #booknerd #bookish #bookworm #beautyandthebeast

A random post for a Monday afternoon... Anyone else have random trinkets that have made their way into bookshelf decorations over time? Some people take the time to make their bookshelf into an amazing rainbow gradient, but I just like to add adornments on top of the jumbled mess that is my books. 😜 The rat was a Christmas purchase a couple years ago (think The Nutcracker) and the Roman-themed cross stitch I did myself in high school for Latin conventions. (Yup, I've always been the nerd type! 😂) Are your bookcases a disordered but decorated mess like mine? Do you like to keep them clean of decorations? . . . . #bookphotography #bookblogger #booknerd #bookaddict #bookcaseselfie #bookcasedecor #readersofinsta #booksaremylife #bookobsessed #readersofinstagram #yabookstagram #bookblogger #booknerd #bookish #bookshelf #bookworm #bookishlife #bookishpost #writersofinstagram #writersofig #authorlife #writerscommunity #authorsofinstagram #writersofbookstagram

Escaping Exodus is one of those books that is so uniquely its own--not without its flaws, but it will be a long time before this book fades from memory. The worldbuilding is what really sticks out: a matriarchal and fiercely polyamorous society makes the innards of gargantuan, living space beasts their home. When the current space beast starts to die, they jump ship (literally) to the next beast in the herd. So cool, right? That's not to say this book is perfect... There are too many plot threads, and I wish the book was more focused. It's overly ambitious--but I'd rather too much ambition than too little!! If you want a super trippy sci-fi with some body horror elements, maybe give this one a try. It's a 3 star read for me. . . . . #arcreview #readersofinsta #booksaremylife #bookobsessed #readersofinstagram #yabookstagram #bookgeek #netgalley #booksbooksbooks #bookblog #bookblogger #tbr #booknerd #bookish #bookshelf #bookclub #bookreviewer #bookworm #bookalicious #bookaholic #prettycover #fiercefemales #scifibooks #instabook #bookishlife #bookishpost #bookishflatlay #bookphotography #prettybook

This is the book that really convinced me I never want to visit the Amazon! 😂 The MC, Danny, has a page one plane crash in the woods and spends the book struggling to survive, along with her narcissistic TV star dad, a reality TV crew, and a teen heartthrob. For some reason I was thinking it would be a fluffy read, but the author really pulled no punches, not just in terms of the dangers of the jungle, but also in how Danny has to come to terms with who her father really is. This was a fun 4 star read for me, but go in knowing that the author is going to throw ALL the creepy crawlies your way! 🐛 Thanks to @inkyardpress for sending an ARC my way! . . . . #arcreview #readersofinsta #booksaremylife #bookobsessed #readersofinstagram #yabookstagram #bookgeek #yafiction #booksbooksbooks #bookblog #bookblogger #tbr #booknerd #bookish #bookshelf #bookclub #bookreviewer #bookworm #bookalicious #bookaholic #bookrecommendations #fiercefemales #yabooks #yareads #instabook #bookishlife #bookishpost #bookishflatlay #bookphotography #prettybook
