why writers are a little creepy

YA queer books for Pride 🥰

if an outing with your friends doesn't involve ancient castle ruins full of ghosts, demon hunting, the exchange of deeply affectionate glances, or breaking a curse...is it even worth going out

tropes we deserve  - enemies to lovers - "theRe'S oNLy one bED" - when the sweet character just SNAPS - kissing during an action scene to distract everyone and not get caught - giving the gruff character a nickname - someone yelling that will NEVER do a thing...next scene, they are doing the thing

“Kiss me again,” he says, drunk and foolish. “Kiss me until I am sick of it.”

apparently it is not enough to start writing your novel but you must also..........finish it

“I’m a mood reader!”

what people think it means: i can only read books im in the mood for what it actually means: what even is my mood

what contemporaries have you loved this year? 👀 It’s time for some much needed contemporary appreciation because let’s face it; bookstagram loves on fantasy way more 😭😂🙌🏻I’ve read 67 contemporaries this year and here are a few I’m obsessed with! ❤️ THE HENNA WARS — incredible sister love. Bangladeshi and Muslim rep. Sapphic!! I loved this so much. 🧡 FELIX EVER AFTER — the best!!! Raw and unapologetic artists and trans rep and best chaos love triangle. 💛 BE DAZZLED — it’s out in 2021! Anxious cosplay queer crafters and it’s amazing. 💚 LOVELESS — the aro/ace book my heart needed. And of course HEARTSTOPPER is a wholesome soft and angsty gift. 💙 THIS IS MY BRAIN IN LOVE — messy and realistic anxiety/depression discussions, and Taiwanese and Nigerian immigrant rep. And so much FOOD OMG. 💜 ONLY MOSTLY DEVASTATED — queer Grease retelling and it made me bust out laughing but also cry. 💖 PLEASE DON’T HUG ME — autism appreciation 😭🙌🏻 this book gets it. Accurate, emotional, and powerful. ❤️ BOYFRIEND MATERIAL — so funny; the flirty one falls for the uptight one trope 😙👌🏻. 🧡 THE FOXHOLE COURT — a reread but 😌 I love these damaged disaster queer jocks with their stickball and their mafia. Have you read any of these? 😍 #contemporaryYA #bookstagram #bookwormlife #bookstagram #epicreads #weneeddiversebooks #ireadya #yalit #yabooks #bookphotography #bookish #bookrainbow https://www.instagram.com/p/CI27KodHEcv/?igshid=1dy4ppxqbpbam

let’s say it’s 2021….you can only choose to read books releasing in 2021 OR backlist books. Which would you pick? 👀 come suffer and choose 😌. time to admire our wings and feathery covers and I have to say, I am a FAN. Also of all the gold!! Which cover do you like best!? The 2021 books I don’t own (they’re edited in) but omg I’m excited for those ones so much. Particularly These Feathered Flames and A Dark & Hollow Star 😍. #coverlove #booksbooksbooks #booksfordays #beautifulbooks #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CIsmX-4njM1/?igshid=x96t0hrhdov5

due to personal reasons I will need to own a library filled with, at least, all of the books and it will have a secret door that leads to even more books. please respect my wishes at this time

just here with some gold and sparkles 😍 I love how this turned out

human: wow you are seriously smart to read so many books and so fast! me: [softly] i just have no life but thank you

here are some books by trans authors I’ve loved and some coming in 2021 that I cannot WAIT for 😍 (covers edited in! I don’t have copies!!)

Also I’ve made some graphics of more trans authors’ books coming in 2021. The way they are so beautiful and I want to read them all 😭💛 feel free to share!! It’s trans week and these authors deserve love and hype for their stories. Not just now, but always.

writers are just like "im taking a quick break from this project" and they either go write a whole other book to procrastinate or they just leave and don't come back for 5 years

time to softly stress you out 😌🙌🏻 you’ve just inherited an enchanted library that comes with a wish and a curse. Which one do you choose: 1) library filled with all the signed first editions and special editions — but the walls scream at you periodically. 2) library where every new YA book appears — but once you pick up the book, it’ll disappear if you put it down. 3) library where time stops so you can read as much as you want — but there are no seats, no cushions, only concrete floors. tell me which you’d pick in the comments 😙✨ #friyay #weekendreading #bookspines #lovebooks #epicreads https://www.instagram.com/p/CHkeKVdHgim/?igshid=16jxbwmabob8w

to the writers who struggle to focus who deal with mental illness who work several jobs who write words slowly slowly who need lots of encouragement who write the books they need but can't find who are proud but anxious about their work you're doing a good job don't stop

books for days
