    • “Don’t ever let anyone tell you that fairytales aren’t real. I drink a potion made from beans everyday, and it brings me back to life.” — N. Hoffman - - photo via @pinterest
    • I just wanna read books and forget all my adult problems —who else is really feeling this way lately? Not to mention that it’s been so cold today and it’s going to start snowing all night so I’m definitely going into hibernation mode now. — How about you? How do you cope with the days getting shorter & colder? — For myself, staying inside a coffee shop or at home is my ideal way to battle the intense Canadian winters we have here.
    • My go to autumn wardrobe includes: turtlenecks of black/neutral colours, high waisted jeans, dark blazers, short heeled boots and a simple gold necklace + a good book to match. What’s your favourite type of weather or season to dress for? As you probably can tell, I love layering so my perfect weather would be a crisp autumn day 🍁✨
    • “If adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad.” — Jane Austen Do you have any travel plans for the holidays or to escape the winter season? I am going to Bali, Indonesia at the end of December and I’ll also be staying in Hong Kong for just a couple of days on the way back. I’ve been saving up (cause that flight from Toronto is expensive but totally worth it) and I’ve been making itineraries ever since July. Any of my lovely followers live / have been to Bali or Hong Kong? Would love to know your recommendations on places to see & eat. Thank you!
    • I’m so ready to reread #janeeyre for the millionth time, plus when you have a stunning copy like this one @penguinclassics it’s gonna be a hard book to put down 😍🍁 #whpseasonal What’s your favourite gothic classics of all time? Which classic do you never get tired of rereading?
    • “And the sun took a step back, the leaves lulled themselves to sleep and autumn was awakened 🍁” Apparently it’s going to snow on Saturday, and the leaves are almost done falling off completely. I’m really saddened to see autumn coming to an end, but my goal will be to take daily walks outside and enjoy the season as much as I can. Question: where are you from (country/city) and how is the weather there?
    • Isn’t it odd how much bigger a book gets when you’ve read it several times? As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells, and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there too —a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower, both strange and familiar. Which book or series has had a impact on your life as a reader? For myself, that book would be the #harrypotter series —which was part of my childhood/teen years, but has stayed with me and is still a huge part of my life as a reader & writer.
    • I always love reading more on rainy days, putting on a cozy oversized sweater and making a huge cup of coffee for myself —it doesn’t get better than that right? 🍂✨ Quick question, what’s the most recent tv show you’ve binged? My latest was the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on @netflixca 💀 and I loved it so much, well way better than Riverdale’s new season — I didn’t even get passed the first episode of season 3.
    • “I would say, some people are like constellations that only touch the earth for a season.” ✨ As you might know, I am a huge fan of Greek mythology and when Circe came out I got it asap but like most of my recent buys, it was left on my shelf for a couple of months ... oops 😬 Flash forward to last month, I finished reading Circe by @madeline.e.miller and WOW it’s a really great book! Her writing is exceptional, the slow paced storytelling was captivating (honestly many authors can’t pulled that off) and CIRCE’s character arc is what brought this whole novel together in my opinion. Have you read Circe? What are your comments/thoughts/feelings about this book?

  • I can’t believe October is coming to an end, and it’s going to be November tomorrow —I felt as it had just begun and was looking forward to having a long autumn season 🍁 Just a quick question, what books are you looking forward to reading for November? Have you read anything from this book-stack? I am slowly making my way through this pile, and I recently finished reading Circe by @madeline.e.miller which I absolutely loved —the storytelling was magical and Circe I found character arc relatable. Ps. Happy Hallowe’en —hope you all creep it real & have a spooky day 🎃👻
  • Major mood for a tuesday, just wanna head to coffee shop with a big stack of books that I’m currently reading. So, how are you spending the day or evening? What are you reading right now?
