this is getting ridiculous. I decided to use one o this is getting ridiculous. I decided to use one of our terrible quality photos to represent the time where we didn’t have pictures together. Except now we do have a lot of pictures together, but I’ve used them all for your previous birthdays. which means we’ve gotta reunite. it’s serious. Happy 28th birthday, @ben.leinweber! This is going to be our year. I can feel it. I hope you have a wonderful day and an excellent year and I miss you and I hope to see you soon. #happybirthday y

✨ meet the bookstagrammer ✨ I figured one of ✨ meet the bookstagrammer ✨ I figured one of these is long overdue since I started this bookstagram a while ago, then went MIA, and now I’m trying to be active again. so why not an introductory post that includes some of the books I’m currently reading? hi, I’m sarah, and I’m a reader and a writer. for as long as I can remember, books has been a passion of mine. I usually read 5-7 books at a time! (but that’s because I have adhd and it’s difficult to concentrate only on one.) I love all kinds of books, but especially fantasy and sci-fi. I’m always looking for more diverse books to read, so I welcome recommendations! the books I’m reading right now include the merciless ones by @namina.forna, the priory of the orange tree by @say_shannon, a cruel and fated light by @paper.ashley, a dance with dragons by george r.r. martin, and the the red pyramid by rick riordan (latter two not pictured since they’re ebooks). I’m enjoying them all so far, and I highly recommend! especially the books pictured. expect lots of jewish and genderfluid lesbian book related posts 🩷. I’d love to get to know more of you, so drop your bookstagrams in the comment section! I also have a website where I write blog posts. I haven’t posted in a long time, but I hope to post something this week about the books I’m reading. in the meantime, you should definitely have a look at what I’ve written in the past! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #themercilessones #deathless #naminaforna #acruelandfatedlight #hollowstarsaga #ashleyshuttleworth #theprioryoftheorangetree #samanthashannon #fantasybooks #fantasy #lgbtqreads #diversebooks #diverseauthors #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booknerd #booklover #bookcommunity #bookblogger #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #readstagram #bookrecommendations #meetthebookstagrammer
