Quoting the Quill #52

Posted on June 8, 2015 by Becky (Blogs of a Bookaholic)

“When I have a little money, I buy books; and if I have any left, I buy food and clothes.”

– Erasmus

This quote pretty much sums up my buying habits, and I have a feeling many of you will relate with it too! Continue reading →

My name is Becky; tea drinker, dragon rider and bookaholic by nature. Prone to rambling & using too many exclamation marks.
I primarily read YA and fantasy, (sometimes both at once, ooh) but I also love a good contemporary & I’m having fun discovering the classics.
If you feel like sticking around I would love to talk books with you. :)

Hi guys, my brain is absolutely fried so no QOTD for me this time! Just let me know what you’ve been up to today! 😊 My weekend has been academic journals on top of academic journals on top of my cold, and now I am ready for some! 💤 🛌 . . Today is the final day of the @fairyloot #fairyphoto33 challenge which is ‘EWF and the ARC’. I’m really curious about these two because I haven’t heard of either of them before! . . #fairyloot #fairylootunboxing #arc #eightwillfall #wickedasyouwish #eightwillfallbysarahharian #ripchupeco #yabooks #booksandcandles #2020reads #readergirl #bookstamisfits #bookobsessed #booklover #bookishdreamers #instabooks #instareads #booksofinsta #yalit #tbrpile #sciencefiction #prettybooks #yabookstagram #yabookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookstagramflatlay #bookgram

QOTD: Random one today! Do you guys use pencils anymore? Or have they been superseded by pens and keyboards in your world? . . It’s day three of the @fairyloot #fairyphoto33 challenge which is ‘pencil case & pencils’. I love these Game of Thrones house motto pencils, the only thing is... I can’t remember the last time I used one! Now I need to try and dig out a sharpener so I can use these babies! 😂 . . @kittydeadbones also tagged me in this fun #ihavenever challenge: 📚Dog-eared a book - I have once or twice! But only in very extreme circumstances! 📚Lied about reading a book - Nope! I’ve just never seen the point of doing this! 📚Borrowed without reading - I don’t think so! I used to borrow huge stacks from a friend, while they may have taken me years to get through I did still read them all! 📚 Didn’t finish a book - Yes on a few occasions! At school we never finished whole books (so I’ve only read half of Oliver Twist and Romeo and Juliet) and I also ditched a YA novel called We All Looked Up! 📚 Cried over a book - Yes definitely! Most recently Ten Thousand Doors of January! . . #fairyloot #fairylootunboxing #gameofthrones #redrising #gameofthronesmerchandise #bookishmerch #westeros #fantasybooks #fantasybookseries #pencils #pencilcase #bookgram #bookstamisfits #readergirl #bookishdreamers #yabookstagram #bookaccount ##mapmonday #fantasymaps #prettybooks #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookphotography #bibliophile #instareads #instabooks #bookcommunity

QOTD: Do you use the save feature on Instagram? If so, what ways do you utilise it? I’ve heard the insta algorithm likes it when people use it! . . Hey all, it’s day two of the @fairyloot #fairyphoto33 challenge which is ‘Enamel Pin & Fiery Books’! And what books are more fiery than Throne of Glass?! I just had to show off my stack to go with this incredibly gorgeous fiery Aelin pin by @bookmarkd.tattoos 🔥. You can swipe right to see the close up! . . I’m so in love with this pin and it conveniently goes perfectly with my @ofthesepages pin hoop!! I’m still 1000% obsessed with this hoop and cannot stop taking picture of it. 😍😂 It’s still available for purchase in the @ofthesepages hoop shop and you can use my code BLOGS10 to save! ❤️ . . . #pinhoop #pinhoops #ofthesepages #pinhoopshop #fairyloot #fairylootunboxing #fairylootpin #enamelpins #enamelpin #enamelpinstagram #throneofglass #aelingalathynius #yabooks #firebreathingbitchqueen #firebreathingbitchqueen🔥 #yafantasy #throneofglassseries #sarahjmaas #sarahjmaasisqueen #yabookstagram #bookishdreamers #yabooksofinstagram #bookstack #readergirl #bookstamisfits #bookishmerch #bookmarkdtattoos #bookswag #booksaremagic

QOTD: What’s your favourite item to receive in a book subscription box? Or if you don’t use them, what’s your fave bookish merch item period?! . . It’s day one of the @fairyloot #fairyphoto33 which is the unboxing photo. 😁 December’s theme was ‘Defying the Odds’! 💪 This box had some really great items in it, including one of my fave things to receive - bookish socks! 🧦 I can’t believe how much the Wrath and the Dawn socks match the book cover and I am in looooove!! 😍 I also can’t wait to try the tea, and I’m using the pretty microfibre cloth as a dressing table mat protector. 😁 You can tap the image to find all the wonderful people that created these items!😁 . . . #fairyloot #fairylootunboxing #fairylootbox #bookaddict #fairylootphotochallenge #bookbloggerlife #instareads #bookstagrammers #instabooks #bookgram #YAbooks #bookstoread #bookcommunity #bookstamisfits #yalit #yafiction #bookaccount #yabookstagram #bookishmerch #ireadya #bookswag #bookishdreamers #booksaremagic #booksofinsta #readergirl #bookmailisthebestmail #bookaesthetic #yaloving

QOTD: Are there any series you’re hoping to finish up in 2020? . . Hello all! I hope the first week of 2020 went ok for you! ❤️ Being a new year, I’ve been thinking a lot about which reads I’m going to prioritise, and that includes which series I’m hoping to get through! In 2020, I definitely want to finish the Mistborn trilogy (and hopefully maybe start the follow up trilogy). I adored discovering book 1 and 2 in 2019 and these books set my fantasy heart on fire! I’m also super happy how this photo turned out, Vin would be flying through the air with these coins! 😋 You can swipe right to see the mist version of this photo 😋. I’d also really like to try and finish a couple of backlist series this year as well, like maybe the Shiver series by Maggie Stiefvater and The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey! 😃 . . . #mistborn #mistbornmonday #mistborntrilogy #mistbornseries #thewellofascension #vin #brandonsanderson #fantasybooks #brandonsandersonbooks #ilovefantasy #readergirl #epicfantasy #bookishdreamers #bookstamisfits #booksaremagic #bookstagram #bookgram #booksofinsta #bibliophile #booksandcandles #prettybooks #beautifulbooks #bookaddict #beautifulbookcovers #bookstoread #bookcommunity #bookaccount #readersofinstagram #bookishcandles
