A friend asked me the other day how I found myself enjoying fantasy and I told her that it started when I read THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA with my family at 6 years old 🦁 It was a popular genre on the bookshelves in our home, so it came as no surprise that a few years later I was picking up THE HOBBIT and THE LORD OF THE RINGS πŸ’ I never really knew life without fantasy novels and I'm really grateful for the fact that my parents always encouraged my desire to read as many books from as many different genres as I could get my hands on πŸ“š

What are your ultimate ESCAPE reads? 🌌
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
One of the reasons I love fantasy so much is because it is the furthest thing from reality! πŸ‰ Since reading IS my escape, I appreciate books that take me somewhere else entirely - another world, another dimension, somewhere magical πŸ’«
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Some of my favorite escape reads are:
♠️ CARAVAL - Remember, it's only a game... or is it? 
✨ THE STARLESS SEA - Follow the clues: a bee, a key, and a sword.
πŸ— THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY - Secret doors written into existence. 
πŸ¦‹ STRANGE THE DREAMER - A moth, light upon the brow, can transport you into the dream.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Honestly, just typing out these titles gave me a little shiver of delight because I just love them all so much! πŸ₯Ί Have you read any of them? πŸ“š

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

I don't like to mark my books in any way, but I do want to remember the quotes that impact me as I read ✍🏼 I'll update my Goodreads progress, jot down a note in my phone, or sometimes I'll even take photos of the book and "highlight" the photo πŸ˜‚
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
One of my recent favorite quotes was this:
"Do you know how you live three hundred years? she says.
And when he asks how, she smiles. "The same way you live one. A second at a time." - The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue (aka quite possibly the most quotable book I've ever read) πŸ’«

When I read Instructions for Dancing, it made me miss ballroom dancing, which is something I did for 3 years in high school! πŸ‘  I haven't danced like that in so long, but reading this inspired me to begin practicing some again (even if it's in my room, by myself πŸ˜‚)

I found myself stating, "I need to read that again," on a regular basis, so I put together a list of some of the books and series I'd like to revisit in 2021 πŸ“ Now I really can't wait to dive into some old favorites and even different formats of recent reads πŸ“–
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
RENEGADES is one of the first ones I added to my list because I flew through this trilogy in a week last year and I'd like to take my time with it when I reread so I can really indulge in the incredible story πŸ¦ΈπŸ»β€β™€οΈ I also added THE LUNAR CHRONICLES (on a Marissa Meyer kick, clearly) as well as some of my comfort reads from high school like PAPER TOWNS and DELIRIUM 😱
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you read any of the books I mentioned? 🀳🏻

Do you write down book quotes as you read them? πŸ“
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I don't like to mark my books in any way, but I do want to remember the quotes that impact me as I read ✍🏼 I'll update my Goodreads progress, jot down a note in my phone, or sometimes I'll even take photos of the book and "highlight" the photo πŸ˜‚
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
One of my recent favorite quotes was this:
"Do you know how you live three hundred years? she says.
And when he asks how, she smiles. "The same way you live one. A second at a time." - The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue (aka quite possibly the most quotable book I've ever read) πŸ’«

When I read Instructions for Dancing, it made me miss ballroom dancing, which is something I did for 3 years in high school! πŸ‘  I haven't danced like that in so long, but reading this inspired me to begin practicing some again (even if it's in my room, by myself πŸ˜‚)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I absolutely loved every minute of what was yet another masterpiece by one of my forever favorite authors, @nicolayoon 🀍 So thankful that I was able to read the ARC via @netgalley and I've already pre-ordered the physical copy to read again when it comes out in June! 🌸

Personally, I think that trilogies are the exact perfect length for a series (not too long, but not too short) πŸ™ˆ Maybe that's why some of my favorite books are part of trilogies! πŸ€” I was thinking about this so much that I actually wrote a full blog post about it last week and I'm now on the hunt to find more trilogies to add to my ever-growing list πŸ“
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Some of my forever favorites are:
πŸ’Œ TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE
πŸ¦ΈπŸ»β€β™€οΈ RENEGADES
πŸŽͺ CARAVAL
πŸ–€ A DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC
πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¬ CRAZY RICH ASIANS
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

Are you a fan of MARVEL SUPERHEROES? πŸ¦ΈπŸ½β€β™‚οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
To say I'm a huge Marvel nerd would be an understatement! πŸ™ˆ I love learning more about the characters in comics and graphic novels so I was thrilled to receive an ARC of MILES MORALES: SHOCK WAVES by one of my all-time favorite authors, @justinwritesya (release date: June 1, 2021) πŸ•Έ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
This story was compelling, heartwarming, and wonderfully-written, and I loved that it also brought into play some very real discussions about everyday challenges πŸ™ŒπŸΌ If you like MARVEL, SPIDER-MAN, or GRAPHIC NOVELS - you will love this so much! πŸ•· (I did write a full review which you can find on my blog)! πŸ’»
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Do you ever read graphic novels? πŸ’₯
