Do you prefer to keep books or give them away once you’ve read them? I don’t mind lending books but I rarely give them away! If I love or even like a book I keep it all pretty on my shelves and if I don’t like it or don’t think I’d read it again and I’m running out of room I donate it. #bookworm #instabook #photosinbetween #readmore #bookalicious #booknookstagram #readingrocks #featuremybooks #library #bookblogger #thatauthenticfeeling #yalovin #bookrecommendation #bookishgirl #readingstagram #readreadread #readerproblems #bookish #currently #ilovereading #books📚 #bookaddicted #bookishlife #allthebooks #bookaddiction #bookpile #overflowing #overflowingbookshelf #booksfordays #rainbowbooks

🔥Review🔥⁠ Unfixable, Tessa Bailey: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⁠ ⁠ I really wanted to like this one! I read it off the back of loving Fix Her Up, my first Tessa Bailey book. But I can only rate this one as good not great.⁠ ⁠ Willa, our damaged heroine jumps at the chance to run away when she wins a photography competition that sends her to a small pub in Ireland. There, Willa gets more than she bargained for, and rather than going along unnoticed she gets dragged into the lives of the family that run the pub and inn.⁠ ⁠ What this story really comes down to is can Willa let go of her past and stop seeing herself as this damaged, unlovable and unfixable girl. And therein lies why this story is only 3 stars for me. I’ve read a lot of this plot over my years of romance novels it’s a popular one. And unfortunately for me, very few actually get me to love them.⁠ ⁠ I think for me, it’s just that this plot wasn’t my jam so I will definitely be picking up the next Tessa Baliey book that crosses my radar.⁠ ⁠ 👆🏻👆🏻Full review link in bio 👆🏻👆🏻⁠ ⁠ bookblogger #thatauthenticfeeling #aussiebooklover #bookrecommendation #bookishgirl #readingstagram #readreadread #readerproblems #bookaholic #bookclub #bookworms #bookhoarder #idratherbereading #booktography #reader #booknerdigans #epicreads #readingisfundamental #bookmail #fortheloveofbooks #bibliophilia #readerforlife #romance #romancenovel #romancebooks #romancejunkie #romanceauthors #bloggerlife #bloggersofinstagram #instagood #wanderlust

🔥Review🔥⁠ The Love Solution, Ashley Croft: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁠ ⁠ Thank you @NetGalley and @AvonBooks for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.⁠ ⁠ This cute and quirky story follows two orphaned sisters and their respective journeys to finding love.⁠ ⁠ I would definitely categorise this as chick lit more than a romance. We switch back and forth between the two, with the main plot driver being their personal growth. This is intertwined with the romance but, the relationships with themselves and each other was definitely what shined for me.⁠ ⁠ Overall a great feel good chick lit read!⁠ ⁠ 👆🏻👆🏻Full review link in bio 👆🏻👆🏻⁠ ⁠ #instabooks #booksofinstagram #readingtime #bookobsessed #readersofig #mybookfeatures #bookaholics #bookaddicts #aussiebibliophile #booknerd #ilovebooks #lovereading #booksarelife #readingchallenge #readingrainbow #booksonbooks #bookstagramit #bibliophage #literature #bookstagramfeature #bookblog #totalbooknerd #readingislife #readingiscool #fortheloveofreading #booklover #romancebooks #romancenovel #romanceclub #arc⁠

🔥Review🔥⁠ Normal People, Sally Rooney: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⁠ ⁠ I’ve heard and read very mixed reviews of Sally Rooneys, Normal People. So of course, I am adding mine to the pile.⁠ ⁠ I’ve seen some saying you’ll either hate it or love it, and whilst I didn’t fall into either extreme I can see why that sentiment has come up again and again with regards to this one.⁠ ⁠ Normal people is essentially about the lives of two normal people who by not being normal at all, teach us that there is no normal. This, along with a lot of other moments and musings in Normal People delivered some fantastic and thoughtful messages that hit deep. Sometimes they were nice, flattering to the characters and sometimes they were so brutal, so real and hard to read.⁠ ⁠ This was really the hero of the book for me, it got me thinking and feeling along with them. That being said, I still wished for a stronger purpose to the narrative, rather than just all these feels and evocative moments wrapped in beautiful prose.⁠ ⁠ 👆🏻👆🏻Full review link in bio 👆🏻👆🏻⁠ ⁠ #bookworm #instabook #photosinbetween #readmore #bookalicious #booknookstagram #readingrocks #featuremybooks #library #bookblogger #thatauthenticfeeling #booksbooksbooks #booksaremagic #igbooks #instablog #bookrecommendation #bookishgirl #readingstagram #readreadread #readerproblems #bookish #currently #ilovereading #books📚 #bookaddicted #bookishlife #allthebooks #bookaddiction⁠ #normalpeople #bookreview⁠ ⁠
