✨What book or series has been on your tbr the longest? ✨⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I apologize for being absent yesterday. I’m preparing to go to a conference tomorrow (I leave at 4 am 🙄), so I’m running around trying to make sure everything is taken care of before I leave. Does anyone else get stressed before they travel? ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ So, I caved and started listening to audiobooks. I’m totally kicking myself for not doing it earlier. I’m FINALLY getting through the Harry Potter series (I’m only a couple decades late but who’s counting 🤷🏽‍♀️). I’m almost done with Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Every time I hear the snakes voice, it sends chills down my spine. It’s so creepy. And Lockhart makes me want to slam my head into a wall. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Check out my amazing HP novel nuzzler! I love how gorgeous Hogwarts looks! Don’t forget to use my code TOYA10 to save @novelnuzzler 💙💙💙⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 💙 Have a wonderful day! 💙⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #audiobooks #audiobooklove #audiobookmonth #booksharks #harrypotter #novelnuzzler #reppost #bookstagrammer #bookstagrammademedoit #backlist #nowreading
✨Tell me a throwback book that blew your mind 🤯🤯 ✨⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Today, I’m joining in on #throwbookthursday which is co-hosted by @beauty_andthebook_ and @jordys.book.club 📚💙⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I’m taking a leaf out of Jamie’s book, and posting about a book that literally blew my mind. 5 years ago from today, I was starting my PhD program in Organic Chemistry, so I decided to pick up some books from the local Barnes & Noble to celebrate. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I was recommended Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes by one of the staff. I went home and read it’s entirety that night. This book is incredibly thought provoking and emotionally gripping. It really made me question the personal price of pursuing higher education and how much of a disconnect you create with those who don’t follow a similar path. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I immediately fell in love with this book, and I went on to recommend it to every grad student that summer. This will always be one of those books that I recommend until the end of my days. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 💙 Have a great day!! 💙⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #flowersforalgernon #danielkeyes #mustreads #booksharks #powerfulbooks #thoughtprovoking #bookrecommendation #readingaddict #bookporn #booklover #amazingbooks #throwbackthursday

Swipe to see what book I got 💙💙⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Interested in trying out @silverfirebooks ?

✨What is your favorite type of take-out? ✨⁣ ⁣ Happy Sunday bookworms 📖🐛⁣ ⁣ Whenever the hubs and I are too lazy to cook, we usually order Chinese or Thai 😍❤️ ⁣ ⁣ Yesterday, I read Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck and Fortune by @rosellewriter (thank you @berkleypub and Edelweiss for the eARC), and I was in desperate need of dumplings and egg rolls today! This book was absolutely incredible (don’t read on an empty stomach though!) ⁣ ⁣ Here’s my mini review (check out my full review on my blog #linkinbio ):⁣ ⁣ Following the unexpected death of her mother, Natalie Tan inherits her grandmother’s restaurant (which has been shut for decades) in the collapsing neighborhood of Chinatown in San Francisco where she was born and raised. Natalie left the community on terrible terms, and now, armed with her grandmother’s magical recipes, she must find a way to help save the community before it completely crumbles.⁣ ⁣ This delicious debut had my heart bursting at the seams. The story focuses on friendships, community, love, and of course, amazing food! This story will have you rooting for Natalie and the rest of the community as well as make you nostalgic for those magical meals that you’ve shared with loved ones. ⁣ ⁣ Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣ ⁣ Be sure to pick up a copy when this book comes out this Tuesday! 💙💙💙⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #natalietansbookofluckandfortune #berkleypub #berkleybooks #debutauthor #debutnovel #booksharks #booksandfood #foodandbooks #bookporn #bookreviewersofinstagram #bookreview #bookbloggerlife #upcomingrelease #bookcoverlove
