#ampersandoct17 Day 7: Fangs 🎃 Vampire Knight by Matsuri Hino 🎃 If you've read any manga at all, then chances are you've at least heard of Vampire Knight. And while it's both wildly popular and absolutely fantastic, it might come as a surprise that it's not actually my favorite of her works. That honor goes to MeruPuri, which she wrote before VK. Still, who could possibly resist Kaname, the character on the cover of this volume? (I have a feeling I'll get some spirited replies from Zero fans in the comments. 😜) . . . . . #bookstagram #reading #reader #read #readinglist #bookworm #booknerd #instareads #bibliophile #bookish #booksofinstagram #booksandflowers #bookstagrammer #booklove #bookgram #igreads #epicreads #bookworm #booknerdigans #bookaddict #booklover #bookgeek #bookphotography #ireadya #instabooks

#ampersandoct17 Day 6: Mad 🎃 Happy Mad Hatter Day! What more fitting way to mark the occasion than a post about my favorite Alice in Wonderland retelling–Splintered by A.G. Howard. This trilogy is one of my favorite YA series of all time. If you like Alice in Wonderland and you haven't checked this one out yet, then you're going to regret not reading it sooner! There are few books I'd more highly recommend. ❤️ . . . . . #bookstagram #reading #reader #read #readinglist #bookworm #booknerd #instareads #bibliophile #bookish #booksofinstagram #booksandflowers #bookstagrammer #booklove #bookgram #igreads #epicreads #bookworm #booknerdigans #bookaddict #booklover #bookgeek #bookphotography #ireadya #instabooks #splintered
