My school's library probably hasn't been remodeled since TKAM was published, but the basement smells like old books and therefore home.

I can't wait to spend the next few hours pretending nothing but this book exists 💙

I cried at the end of this book, and in some ways I think that's all the endorsement it needs. "Raw" doesn't begin to describe it. I am so grateful Caden's story found its way onto my Kindle this week.

Spending my Saturday with Satan ❤️🔥 (He's not nearly as tough as he thinks he is.)

Taking a break from schoolwork to sink into this novel tonight. The bookseller I purchased it from said it's his absolute favorite! Here goes nothing...

I'm disappointed I didn't like this one enough to finish it, since The Bone Clocks was one of my favorite books last year. Still, it's liberating to realize that if I don't like a book, I don't have to read it! P.S. Please excuse the messy desk. I am but a college student.

When you know you're just no good for her. // Found at the treasure trove that is Anderson's Bookshop. #getindie

My boyfriend and I spent a weekend in Boston this past summer, and a "quick stop" at the Harvard Book Store turned into an hour of browsing and another two reading in the Public Gardens. I'd give most anything to go back. #getindie

I've got two semesters left in the south and Nashville's Parnassus Books just might become my favorite spot of the year. Now if only I can hitch a ride to the city... #getindie

I somehow conned my way into being allowed to read my favorite book for research. ✨

Saying good-bye to unread library books means summer is officially over, and it's my least favorite part of returning to school.

I've always wanted to buy one of these! Arabian Nights meets Pirates?! I hope this book lasts forever.

This seemed the only appropriate way to celebrate payday.

The plot is weak and the writing average, but boy do I feel like a kid again. I'm not thrilled it exists, but I AM glad I read it.

This book is the truest thing I've read in a long time.

Fast-paced and full of wonder. I definitely just found my number one YA recommendation for the summer.

I could study for finals or I could continue reading on the steps of the library...decisions, decisions...

The Changeling | Thomas Middleton, William Rowley

Beatrice-Joanna is one of the most complex women characters of the era, and you'll find yourself rooting for her downfall as often as her success. Is she really as innocent as she claims? Even the format of the play is an exercise in deception.

Apologies for the kindle pic, but it is SO hard to concentrate on finals when I have this fast-paced fantasy calling my name every day. I'm almost halfway finished and show no signs of stopping, even for term papers.
