I brought this @viragopress classics with me hoping maybe I can find five minutes to read? Maybe? I am normally a very social and Extrovert person ( in Myers-Briggs I am an Enfp) however from time to time I need a break from people and go to my comfort place,books ❤️🙏🏼 What about you? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookcommunity #readersofig #readersofinstagram #booklove #bookaccount #bookaddict #booksofinstagram #allthebooks #booklife #bookworm #bookspines #bookaholic #coverlove #beautifulbooks #instaread #fiction #ilovereading #bibliophile #booknerdigans #epicreads #totalbooknerd #shelfie #ireadeverywhere #alwaysreading #bookgram #booknookstagram #viragomodernclassics
🌸🌿Who else feels like waking up from a long winter's sleep??🌿🌸 I am SO ready for spring, my favourite season. Today is such a sunny and beautiful day and I am bursting with energy whichis quite unusual for a friday! Could it be because vibes of spring are in the air? Who else miss picnics, bluebells &wildflowers and strolling in meadows, feeling Snow White-y with all that lovely bunnies and squirrels (hope not only in the UK?) . I have bought a LOT of @barnesandnoble leatherbounds and been so lazy to take photos of them. Hope you don't mind the creased bed sheets 🙈🙈🙈Happy friday everyone and have a fabulous weekend 🌟 . . . . . . . . . . . #bookstagram #bookstagramfeature #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookish #bookworm #booknerd #bookaholic #ireadeverywhere #alwaysreading #bookaddict #BookHaul #Bookphotography #LibraryofBookstagram #ILoveBooks #ReadingTime #Booknookstagram #EpicReads #Booksofinstagram #Instabooks #Igreads #readersofinstagram #readersofig #bookstagramuk
‼️Let's talk about the used book taboo‼️ Do you buy second hand books? . New books new books...I am a sucker for new book smell... Their uncreased front covers and dustjackets looking juicy... I find new books irresistible 🥰 . But then...There is the fact that second hand books exist! And they are cheaper🥺 . I used to dislike buying used books, but it has been a good 4-5 years I have been buying used books with good condition. Because... why not? I just stopped worrying they would be infested with germs 🙈🙈(.yes I am a bit like that...). And about this pile, these lovely books are new and I tagged the publishers, all of them looking so fresh and exciting 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 can't wait to read them! . . . . . . . . . . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookcommunity #readersofig #readersofinstagram #booklove #bookaccount #bookaddict #booksofinstagram #allthebooks #booklife #bookworm #bookspines #bookaholic #coverlove #beautifulbooks #instaread #fiction #ilovereading #bibliophile #booknerdigans #epicreads #totalbooknerd #bookporn #ireadeverywhere #alwaysreading #bookpile
