So Bookworms, I must confess - I think I will be DNF-ing this little read. The synopsis had me feeling so-so, but I am now more than 100 pages in and... I just can’t force myself to keep reading? Honestly, I am not sure if it’s the characters, or the premise, or just generally Chupeco’s writing (I was not a fan of The Bone Witch in the slightest), but I am not enjoying this book. 📚📖 #WickedAsYouWish #DidNotFinish #DNF #YAlit #YAfantasy #AdvanceReadersCopy #bookstagram #bookish #bookblogger #bookworm #booklover #instabooks #canadalovesbooks #bookishcanadians
I have (finally) started reading this stunning ARC of Diamond City by Francesca Flores, and I think it is safe to say that the first few chapters have me hooked! I am hoping for big (exciting) things with this read, since my last few reads have been mediocre at best! 📚📖

I also have a new blog post about burnout - specifically “read burnout” going live tomorrow morning! It’s something I have been struggling with for a couple months now, and I am hoping plenty of you bookworms will take a moment to read it, reflect on the pressures of this community, and consider whether or not you have ever experienced “reader burnout”! 📚📖 #DiamondCity #FrancescaFlores #AdvanceReadersCopy #ARC #YAlit #YAfiction #bookstagram #bookish #bookblogger #bookworm #booklover #instabooks #canadalovesbooks #bookishcanadians #readerburnout #readingslump
“I say to you all, once again -- in the light of Lord Voldemort's return, we are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided. Lord Voldemort's gift for spreading discord and enmity is very great. We can fight it only by showing an equally strong bond of friendship and trust. Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.” - JK Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire 📚📖 •

I finally got my hands on a copy of the illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by JK Rowling, and I have to say that it is stunning! Jim Kay really outdid himself with this one - I think it is my favourite illustrated edition yet! 📚📖 #HarryPotter #HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire #JKRowling #TheGobletOfFire #IllustratedEdition #bookstagram #bookish #bookblogger #bookworm #booklover #instabooks #canadalovesbooks #bookishcanadians #bookishart
“It is a sad truth that we do not live in a world where differences are accepted.” - Kerri Maniscalco, Capturing the Devil 📚📖

Have you read the Stalking Jack the Ripper series by Kerri Maniscalco yet? I have listened to all four books as audiobooks, so I don’t have a physical copy of them, but I absolutely adored these novels! Maniscalco did an exceptional job building characters and weaving mysteries, alongside a compelling romance! Seriously, Audrey Rose Wodsworth and Thomas Cresswell are characters that readers live for! 📚📖 #StalkingJackTheRipper #HuntingPrinceDracula #EscapingFromHoudini #CapturingTheDevil #KerriManiscalco #YAlit #bookstagram #bookish #bookblogger #bookworm #booklover #instabooks #canadalovesbooks #bookishcanadians #bookishart
