Bookstagram

Apparently I need to add a page titled Bookstagram to share posts under that link.

Anyways, ignore this.

Thanks!

Somebody please teach me latte art! . Its one hobby I'd really love to learn besides improving on my photography. . 💭What's one hobby you'd like to learn/improve on? . Picture taken on the Honor 10 sent to me by @honorarabia #honor10 #beautyinAI

Nothing is more important than an unread library - John Waters . How’s Monday been for you? I’ve had a tiring one. I was going to relax at home after work but something urgent came up and I had to go out 🤦🏻‍♂️All I can hope for now is a fulfilling nights sleep! . #bookstagram

I demand that this be crowned the official 'Bookworms Dream'! . Reading two books simultaneously! . #WHPmirrorimage

Gatsby has been in a very playful mood today, she was a surprise addition to this shot! . Hope you guys are having a great weekend, @gatsbysaysmeow and I say Hi! . #WHPmirrorimage

I have read 4 books recently which I haven’t reviewed and I’m just not finding proper time to review them. . I usually write reviews immediately after I finish a book but this time I procrastinated and now it feels like too much 😫 . I’ll hopefully write one review tomorrow for Hag-seed and then tackle the rest of them! . 💭Do you review books? Any struggles when it comes to reviewing them? . #bookstagram

Scenario: You’ve been taking book pictures for a few minutes at a road side cafe and realize someone at the other table is staring at you, what do you do❓ . 1- continue and act like you didn’t see them. 2- run for your life. 3- look at them and say Hi!! . I’ve become a pro at number 1 😂 . #bookstagram

The last few pages of this book gave me multiple goosebumps. Linda Sue Park takes us on a couple of walks, one to survival and the other figuratively to survival (to water). . Full review is linked to my bio, have a look! . ❗️ What is one book that made you emotional and maybe shed a tear? . #bookstagram

Speed reading 🚀 . Are you a fast reader? I'm a very slow reader, and mostly deliberately so. I've come to believe that my education has a lot to do with it, I was an engineering student and with engineering you had to make sure you didn't miss a single sentence from the text or you would end up being confused. Second reason I usually read slowly is I like to sleep over parts of books to take it all in. Kind of like binge watching a series VS watching an episode a week. If you watch weekly you tend to have the episode in your mind over the course of the week and are able to grasp tiny details much better! . ❗️That's what I feel, what about you? What your reading speed like? . #bookstagram

Have you read any of these? 🧐 . #bookstagram

Hey guys! . So this in the background is our new reading setup, a couple of chairs with a coffee table and loads of books on the wall! . This is where I unwind after a hard day at work with a cup of coffee and a book. I'm going to start Anne Frank's Diary (The Graphic novel) What are you currently reading 📖 . I'm trying the new flavors from Nescafe this week and I like the Ginger flavor! I'll try cloves next week 🙂 . Try the new Nescafe Arabiana Ginger & Cloves by @nescafearabiana . #nescafearabiana

I guess this is a pretty accurate representation of the relationship between me and my wife: coffee and books! Everything else is just a distant blur... . What book or drink would be a perfect representation of you? . #WHPkindness

One of the most depressing quotes I’ve ever read: But I didn't understand then. That I could hurt somebody so badly she would never recover. That a person can, just by living, damage another human being beyond repair. - Haruki Murakami . Have a great day 😐 . #bookstagram

I miss my old setup! . It had taken me over a years time to slowly add bit and pieces to this wall and I honestly was very proud of how it looked! . The only thing that remains common between the old and new walls are that I’ve still got a huge list of books I haven’t read from them 😂 . 💭Hope you guys are having a great day, who’s watching Shane Dawson’s Jake Paul series? It’s time for part 6 😬 . #bookstagram

People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading. Logan Pearsall Smith . ❗️ I'm sick, send help and cookies!!! . #bookstagram

Books about Books! . I was randomly going through the books I have and found this one which has been on the tbr since a long time. A book about books plus magic realism seems very intriguing! Might pick it up by the end of the year. . Right now I’m planning to pick smaller books to catch up with that goodreads challenge 😂 . Life’s been busy so I haven’t been able to catch up or reply to comments recently, will get to them soon. . 💭How’s your reading life? Reading anything exciting? . Featuring my Honor10 phone sent to me by @honorarabia #shotonhonor #beautyinAI

This masterpiece of a book which pays homage to The Great Gatsby is out now! . My review is linked in the bio, have a quick look if you’re considering wether to pick it up or not. . A little excerpt from my review: ‘I’ve finally come to realize Murakami doesn’t write to please anyone, sometimes it feels like he doesn’t even write to please himself. He writes because he needs to; he needs to free his mind of these thoughts that’ve made a home in his mind.’ . Thank you again @penguinukbooks for sending the ARC. . #bookstagram

Guess who woke up at 5am to read?! . Anyways, I’m quickly making my way through Anthony Horowitz ‘The Sentence is Death’ and OMG, it’s 🤓 . A very Holmes-Watson style duo investigating a murder! . 💭What’s a thriller you would recommend? Extra points if it’s a book I already own 😂 . #bookstagram

How such a brief book can have such a huge impact is beyond me, Khaled Hosseini shows us how you don't need too many words to connect with readers. . I will try to review this properly on my blog this week. . ❗️ What's the shortest book you've read that has been worthy of recommending to others? . #bookstagram
