I received a gorgeous copy of this book from Hachette India as part of the Blog and Social Media Tour and Read-along. This did not affect my thoughts, experience or review in any way.

How's your weekend going? 🙂 What are you reading today? . . . #wildadventuresfeb19 Day 2 - Prettiest spines Day 16 - Book you think would make a great TV show - Six of Crows #bookdragonslovefebruary Day 7 - Come and get me #dyingtoread #fireheartfeb19 Day 9 - #stacksaturday Day 12 - fictional places you wouldn't want to visit - Grishaverse..🙈 Day 16 - Next on your TBR - Girls of Paper and Fire #fangirlsbookishfebruary Day 12 - book with a heart on the cover - The Kiss Quotient Day 16 - Contemporary books - The Kiss Quotient So...a quick #reading update: I'm enjoying Six of Crows and you have no idea how big a deal that is for me! I really enjoyed the Shadow and Bone trilogy a couple years back but the first two times I tried, I couldn't make it past the second chapter of Six of Crows. So I put it down because I felt like it wasn't the right time for it. This week though, I found it so easy to get into the story, I'm finally in the right headspace and I'm able to understand what's going on, I think I was too exhausted before to even put in the effort to focus on what was happening. But I'm really liking it this time around, I'm on chapter 5 I think and I want to keep reading! ☺️ . Also, I'm dying to read Girls of Paper and Fire soon and there is a heart on the cover of The Kiss Quotient just like on the spine. I'll get to this one soon too. 🙈 . . . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #newtobookstagram #bibliophile #bookphotography #readersofinstagram #booklover #booksofinstagram #ilovereading #bookstack #sixofcrows #ilovebooks #igreads #bookish #booknerd #booknerdigans #booklove #contemporary #romance #thekissquotient #girlsofpaperandfire #booksoutside

Just a quick #Readingupdate because I seem to have lost the habit of posting regularly on #bookstagram...🙈 . I recently finished The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner and while the first half was somewhat slow-paced (which I wasn't expecting) and took me a lot of time to get through, the second half was amazing, full of action and twists! I quite enjoyed it, couldn't put it down and I'm excited to continue with the rest of the series. 😍 . My complete review is already up on my blog (link in bio) so you can check that out if you'd like to know more about my reading experience. 🙂 . I shall post again...soon...hopefully. Also, the giveaway is now closed but I need a few days to announce the winners, so please bear with me. It's been a busy week. 🤷 . #bookstagrammer #newtobookstagram #bibliophile #bookphotography #readersofinstagram #booklover #booksofinstagram #ilovereading #ilovebooks #igreads #youngadult #bookfeatured #bookish #booknerd #libros #biblio #booked #bookaddict #instabook #fantasy #thethief #thequeensthief #meganwhalenturner #bookstagramfeature #booklove

#Readingupdate - I have just some 130+ pages left to finish The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner.....it's been a pretty slow read up to this point, hopefully I can finish the book today though. What are you reading this weekend? . . . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #newtobookstagram #bibliophile #bookphotography #readersofinstagram #booklover #booksofinstagram #ilovereading #ilovebooks #fantasyreads #igreads #youngadult #bookfeatured #bookish #booknerd #booknerdigans #readerlife #bookaddict #instabook #booklove #readallday #fantasy #thethief #meganwhalenturner #thequeensthief #currentlyreading #currentread

Which HP character(s) would you bring back if you could? . . . Day 4 #grimdragon - I remain devastated...about all the good people we lost to Voldemort and the Death Eaters, especially Dobby, Sirius, Dumbledore, Snape, Lupin, Tonks, Fred and Cedric. 😣 . Day 6 #februarysbooks19 - Books you want to reread - probably Chamber of Secrets (illustrated edition) this year. . Day 8 #fandomfriday - HP, of course. Also, Throne of Glass, The Lunar Chronicles, In Death series, Outlander etc. #funkofriday - Won the Harry Potter pop in a contest by @booksnbeyondbox and the Voldemort pop was sent to me by a lovely friend, @that.curious.girl 😍 Thanks, Udita! . Also the lovely HP calendar is from my November @thebooklingscrate box. . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookphotography #readersofinstagram #booklover #booksofinstagram #ilovereading #ilovebooks #igreads #bookfeatured #bookish #booknerd #booknerdigans #readerlife #bookaddict #instabook #bookstagramfeature #harrypotterfunko #harrypotter #hp #voldemort #thebooklingscrate #harrypotterandthehalfbloodprince #funkopop

What book/series will you forever hold in your heart? . . . Day 3 #februarysbooks19 - Bookmark #fireheartfeb19 - Bookish candles #xoxobooksfeb19 - Movie night: Fave book to movie adaptation . Simon Vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda is one of the most adorable books I've read and it holds a special place in my heart. From the Harry Potter references to Simon & Blue, it was just amazing! They even did a fantastic job adapting it to Love, Simon and I've watched it (and cried) more times than I can count. 😍 I honestly can't say which one I love more, the book or the movie. . This stunning Harry Potter bookmark and the Amortentia candle were part of my November @thebooklingscrate box. 😍 The candle smells amazing! . #newtobookstagram #bibliophile #bookphotography #readersofinstagram #booklover #booksofinstagram #ilovereading #ilovebooks #yareads #yabooks #igreads #youngadult #bookfeatured #bookish #booknerd #booknerdigans #libros #readerlife #yalit #bookaddict #instabook #booklove #ireadya #readallday #simonvs #lovesimon

Have you read Dumplin' yet? Watched the movie? What did you think? . . . Day 2 #fangirlsbookishfebruary - Book and shadow #xoxobooksfeb19 - cringeworthy coupes . Just a quick #readingupdate - Finished this one in just enough time to add it to my January Wrap-up and then I took a couple days to write a review because there was so much I needed to process. The more I thought about it, the more I realized how much it disappointed and frustrated me. My full review is already up on my blog (link in bio) so please check that out if you want to know exactly what I thought about it. . I didn't think Will & Bo were a cringeworthy couple but I just couldn't see them together. Also, the whole love triangle was weird and unnecessary. 😣 The movie was pretty different from the book and I think I might have liked it a bit more than the book. . . . #bookish #booknerd #booknerdigans #dumplin #booked #readerlife #yalit #bookaddict #instabook #booklove #allofthebooks #ireadya #bookonbooks #readallday #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookphotography #readersofinstagram #booklover #booksofinstagram #ilovereading #ilovebooks #yareads #yabooks

Day - February #TBR ✨#grimdragon ✨#februarysbooks19 ✨#bookdragonslovefebruary ✨#fireheartfeb19 ✨#fangirlsbookishfebruary ✨#wildadventuresfeb19 ✨#xoxobooksfeb19 I've tried to keep my Feb TBR as small and light (😆) as I possible could.

For the Year of the Asian Reading Challenge (#yarc2019), I have: ✨The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi (audiobook) ✨Girls of Paper And Fire by Natasha Ngan ✨P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han . The Gilded Wolves and Girls of Paper And Fire also work for the Devour Your TBR Fantastic February Challenge along with: ✨The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner ✨Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo . ✨Also, for one of the prompts of my Popsugar Ultimate Reading Challenge, I hope to read The book The Sun Is Also A Star as the movie adaptation is releasing soon (?) 🙂 . If by some miracle, I'm able to finish, say 4 of these, I might pick up The Book Thief since I just got to know that my lovely friend, Mridula @ecstatic_yet_chaotic's Beat the Backlist group is reading it this month. 😍 . Phew! So that's my TBR for Feb! Let me know what you're planning to read this month! 🙂 . PS: I really want the physical copy of The Gilded Wolves.. 😭😭 . . . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookphotography #readersofinstagram #booklover #booksofinstagram #ilovereading #ilovebooks #yabooks #igreads #youngadult #bookfeatured #bookish #booklove #allofthebooks #sixofcrows #thesunisalsoastar #fantasy #popsugarreadingchallenge2019 #girlsofpaperandfire

So, I totally forgot about posting today. 🙈 I had a long day, I was out, I walked quite a bit, ate quite a bit, had a fun time looking at lots of stuff...(check my stories for the deets). 😍 It's been about 7 hours since I got back and it completely slipped my mind that I haven't posted today. 🙈 Anyway. Hello, February..sorry I forgot about you. 🤷 . This time, I couldn't narrow my challenges down to 4 or 5 like I usually do and instead, I'm participating in 7 bookish photo challenges! 🙈 ✨#grimdragon ✨#februarysbooks19 ✨#bookdragonslovefebruary ✨#fireheartfeb19 ✨#fangirlsbookishfebruary ✨#wildadventuresfeb19 ✨#xoxobooksfeb19 I'm not going to say anything more because look what happened last month.😑 Let's just see how it goes. 😏 . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookphotography #readersofinstagram #booklover #booksofinstagram #ilovereading #ilovebooks #igreads #bookfeatured #bookish #booknerd #booknerdigans #booked #readerlife #bookaddict #instabook #bookstagramfeature #booklove #photochallenge
