Two favorites in one photo!
.
My current read—so, so good—by Alison Goodman, one of my favorite authors. Maybe a little TOO good, because I’m already starting to worry about what I’m going to do until The Dark Days Deceit comes out. I already have the next book in the series, but it’s not going to hold me over until the last one releases on November 20. 😱 Why, oh why, did I start reading it before I had all the books? I mean, I know why... It seemed perfect for fall (I was right, it has just the right touch of mystery and eeriness for the season!), but I still should have waited just a *little* longer and I could have binged them all the way through. 😱😭
.
The other favorite is the lovely crescent moon bookmark from @bookartbookmarks . I love the design and the fact that it stays in place without falling out no matter what! This and the quartz crystal one I bought from her shop are the ones I use most often. 💛

What are some of your favorite bookish things? Authors, candle shops, bookmarks, anything!

Happy Saturday everyone! Have you read The Night Circus yet? Sadly, this poor book sat on my TBR for three years before I got around to reading it. And after I was done, all I could do was wonder what ever possessed me to wait so long! Not only did it have a great plot, fantastically developed characters, and an enchanting atmosphere, it was written with some of the most beautiful prose I’ve ever laid eyes on.💚
.
Even the physical details of the book are lovely—holographic foil on the jacket, unique designs on the interior, and of course these cool, striped endpages. And speaking of endpages...it took me ages to get the animation for the vertical lines *just* right, so please feel free to stare at them for awhile and be mesmerized. 😉

How often do you take photos for your feed? I usually do mine in sets of 3, sometimes 6 at a time. So it’s kind of ironic that *this* photo focusing on shattering glass happens to be last one I took for this set of blue posts. For the last week, I’ve been super excited about the arrival of my new desk. It came today, and you might say I was shatteringly disappointed when I opened the box. The glass top was completely broken and had left a trail of shards behind it like breadcrumbs as I brought the box into the house. So instead of setting up my new desk, I spent my afternoon sweeping and vacuuming to clean up the mess. We can’t have any glass coming in contact with tender little Sumo paws after all! Exchanging for a new one later tonight, so hopefully I’ll be back on track soon! 🤞

Have you read the Matched trilogy? I don’t usually enjoy dystopian stories, but I really loved this series! I think Cassia is probably the character that goes through the most growth and change from beginning to end in any YA series I’ve read so far.💙

Time for more cover love! Into the Dim’s cover is such a simple design but I love it, and it was so fun to bring the swirls to life so they look the same way they do in my imagination. 😍 Also, I’m a complete sucker for books involving time travel, meaning there’s no wonder why this book is in my TBR pile. 💙 What are story elements that you can’t resist? Aside from time travel, I can’t resist stories set in Victorian England or during the Edo Period in Japan, or books involving alchemy or alchemists.

I’m just now getting the hang on Instagram. One tip is to upload a pic featuring your latest post, write a caption about it and also mention that the link is in your bio. Then, update your profile with your latest post’s URL. Oh, and don’t forget to use hashtags.
I added you on instagram! Find me there at https://www.instagram.com/fabiblogger/

Oh! I hadn’t even thought of cross-posting between there and the blog. Thanks for the great suggestion! I added you as well–those hydrangea are beautiful! I’ve never had any luck growing them, always too much or too little water and they wilt away on me. lol
