For our neighbours in the United States of America, today is Martin Luther King, Jr Day. 📖 If, somehow, you do not know who he was, Martin Luther King, Jr. was civil rights movement leader who organized peaceful protests in hopes of creating equal rights for all. 📚 And while every year this day holds importance, some believe this year it means even more. Why? Because in many countries, including the USA, are currently caught between colliding pressures of a pandemic, political unrest and outcries for social justice. Because time and time again, we fail to fulfill Martin Luther King, Jr’s dream. 📖 So perhaps - not in light of, but because of everything - there is no better time to remind ourselves of and to reflect on the day’s meaning and significance. 📚 #MLK #MartinLutherKingJr #DayOnNotADayOff #DearMartin #NicStone #YAlit #OwnVoices #DiverseBooks #Bookstagram #Bookish #BookBlogger #Bookworm #BookLover #Instabooks #BookishCanadians
Well, after some brief difficulties with Instagram (TLDR: I couldn’t post, comment, or generally do much of anything), it looks like I am back in action! Not sure what happened, but after posting mid-week last week, I suddenly found myself to comment on posts, the likes I gave to others kept disappearing, and my new posts kept failing to upload! It was so frustrating, especially when I was trying to get back into the groove of posting daily! Thankfully, everything seems to have resolved itself, and I am back in business! Next order of business? Finally finishing the blog post that I have been working on! 🙈 #AmericanRoyals #Majesty #KatharineMcGee #YAlit #AlternateHistory #Bookstagram #Bookish #BookBlogger #Bookworm #BookLover #InstaBooks #BookishCanadians #PurpleBooks
What is guaranteed to make you put down a book before finishing it? 📚 For me, I wouldn’t say that it is any one thing in particular - honestly, it’s more like a feeling that that book - the story, the characters, something - isn’t for me. It’s hard to explain. 🤷🏻♀️ But that’s how I felt while trying to read The Midnight Lie by Marie Rutkoski. I’ve loved previous books from this author, but I just couldn’t get into this one! 📖 #DNF #DidNotFinish #TheMidnightLie #MarieRutkoski #YAfiction #YAfantasy #Bookstagram #Bookish #BookBlogger #Bookworm #Booklover #Instabooks #BookishCanadians
What book - or series - do you always find yourself picking up when you’re in need of a comfort read? 📖 Growing up, mine was the Harry Potter series, but in recent years it has shifted to the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas. Whenever I am feeling down, stressed, or just generally tired, Celaena/Aelin’s story has a way of picking me up and reminding me why I love reading! 📚 #ThroneOfGlass #SarahJMaas #CelaenaSardothien #AelinAshryverGalathynius #AelinOfTheWildfire #Bookstagram #Bookish #BookBlogger #Bookworm #BookLover #Instabooks #BookishCanadians #PurpleBooks
