Happy Tuesday you o'wl! He he, tried to do something here, not sure if it worked. . What's the biggest challenge for you on your social media accounts or blog? . The thoughest challenge for me being an international book blogger/bookstagrammer is that English is not my first language and I sometimes suck at it. My grammer might be crap from time to time or I can mistakenly use some silly words. I also cannot write fast enough- with my mother tongue I write like, 3 times faster- so I mostly find myself wishing being a native English speaker. It's unavoidable that you're a DIFFERENT person in another language. So I would probably sound very weird from time to time! My Turkish speaking self is soooo different than English speaking self. But one day, eh? Have been living in the UK nearly 8 years now, so I might get better in time. . . . . . . . . . .#bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookcommunity #readersofig #readersofinstagram #booklove #bookaccount #bookaddict #booksofinstagram #allthebooks #booklife #bookworm #bookspines #bookaholic #coverlove #beautifulbooks #instaread #fiction #ilovereading #bibliophile #booknerdigans #epicreads #totalbooknerd #bookgram #ireadeverywhere #alwaysreading #bookish

Andrea Levy, the author of the fabulous novel #SmallIsland passed away this week, in the young age of 62. Thinking of all the novels she could have written, it’s such a big loss for the literary world. I felt so sad when I heard the news. . Have you read her work before? I have The Long Song on my TBR. Farewell, Andrea, and thanks for this amazing novels🙏🏼 . . . . . . ... #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 #booktography #instabook

Happy Sunday! What are you reading today? I am sailing my way in In Full Light of The Sun and quite enjoying it. . I have been really naughty and bought like 5-6 of Barnes and Nobles leather bound editions. Some of them looks fab but some of them looks a bit like my old encyclopaedias. This Jules Verne for instance could be easily mistaken with one 🤨or am I being picky? . . . . . . . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookcommunity #readersofig #readersofinstagram #booklove #bookaccount #bookaddict #booksofinstagram #allthebooks #booklife #bookworm #bookspines #bookaholic #coverlove #beautifulbooks #instaread #fiction #ilovereading #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #booknerdigans #epicreads #totalbooknerd #shelfiesunday #ireadeverywhere #bookporn #bookends #alwaysreading
