Today's #TopTenTuesday theme is books with under 2000 rating on Goodreads 🦊 I've not read NEVERTHELESS SHE PERSISTED yet, but it sounds really interesting. Clara and Nancy, two sisters working in Holloway Prison in 1913, find themselves face-to-face with imprisoned suffragettes: women fighting for the same freedoms they want for themselves. Soon Nancy is drawn to one inmate in particular - the enigmatic `Duchess' - and decides to follow her into the fight. But Clara is torn by the very laws her sister has chosen to try to change. She's fallen in love, and yet marriage would mean giving up the job she loves, and losing her independence forever. How can she possibly choose between the two sides of her heart and not lose a part of herself? . . . . . . #neverthelessshepersisted #womensfiction #womanslit #romance #historical #historicalfiction #suffragettes #feminist #ukya #booksofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #booksofig #bookaddict #bookporn #bookphoto #bookphotography #bücherwurm #bücherliebe #livreaddict #livrestagram #readstagram #readersofinstagram #igbooks #igreads #bookbloggers #booklovers #bookdragon #ya #youngadult

Do you try to read outside of your cocmfort zone, or do you know what you like and stick to it? 🦊 I just started THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS for my library's bookclub this month. It's not something I'd have picked up for myself but I've passed the 100 page mark and I'm hooked. The Victorian language of flowers was used to convey romantic expressions: honeysuckle for devotion, asters for patience, and red roses for love. But for Victoria Jones, it's been more useful in communicating grief, mistrust, and solitude. After a childhood spent in the foster-care system, she is unable to get close to anybody, and her only connection to the world is through flowers and their meanings. Now eighteen and emancipated from the system, Victoria has nowhere to go and sleeps in a public park, where she plants a small garden of her own. Soon a local florist discovers her talents, and Victoria realizes she has a gift for helping others through the flowers she chooses for them. But a mysterious vendor at the flower market has her questioning what's been missing in her life, and when she's forced to confront a painful secret from her past, she must decide whether it's worth risking everything for a second chance at happiness. . . . . . . . #thelanguageofflowers #womensfiction #womanslit #litfic #literaryfiction #contemporary #booksofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #booksofig #bookaddict #bookporn #bookphoto #bookphotography #bücherwurm #bücherliebe #livreaddict #livrestagram #readstagram #readersofinstagram #igbooks #igreads #bookbloggers #booklovers #bookdragon #books #amreading

#FFFebruaryreads Day 17: An FF story you've read more than once 🦊 THE QUEEN OF IEFLARIA by Effie Calvin. The is a short book, so easy to reread, and a really adorable opposites-attract romance with an arraged marriage, princesses, dragons and kittens. --- Princess Esofi of Rhodia and Crown Prince Albion of Ieflaria have been betrothed since they were children but have never met. At age seventeen, Esofi’s journey to Ieflaria is not for the wedding she always expected but instead to offer condolences on the death of her would-be husband. But Ieflaria is desperately in need of help from Rhodia for their dragon problem, so Esofi is offered a new betrothal to Prince Albion’s younger sister, the new Crown Princess Adale. But Adale has no plans of taking the throne, leaving Esofi with more to battle than fire-breathing beasts. . . . . . . . #fantasy #queerfantasy #romance #novella #sapphic #dragons #princesses #booksofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #booksofig #bookaddict #bookporn #bookphoto #bookphotography #bücherwurm #bücherliebe #livreaddict #livrestagram #readstagram #readersofinstagram #igbooks #igreads #bookbloggers #booklovers #bookdragon #books #amreading

#FFFebruaryreads Day 16: An FF novella or short story 🦊 HURRICANE HEELS by Isabel Yap. The is is actually 5 short stories, one for each of the grown-up Sailor Moon-esque magical girls. --- When Alex, Ria, Aiko, Natalie and Selena met at summer camp, they never expected the goddess would ask for their help, enlisting them as soldiers to protect the world from the forces of darkness. Gifting them each with a different object of power—a bracelet, a ring, a watch, earrings, a necklace—the goddess’s grace grants the friends the weapons to fight, the ability to heal, and the magic to strike back against the Grey. Now, over a decade later, the five best friends are still fighting. But the burden of secrecy, the inevitability of pain, and the magnitude of their responsibility to keep saving the world has left them questioning their goddess. How much longer can they keep saving the world? Can their friendship survive if one of them leaves their fold? And can they keep it together just long enough to get through Selena’s wedding? . . . . . . . #sailormoon #magicalgirls #novella #sapphic #asainprotagonist #asainfantasy #booksofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #booksofig #bookaddict #bookporn #bookphoto #bookphotography #bücherwurm #bücherliebe #livreaddict #livrestagram #readstagram #readersofinstagram #igbooks #igreads #bookbloggers #booklovers #bookdragon #books #amreading

Which recent release are you most excited to read? I'm really looking forward to DEATH PREFERS BLONDES. Even the cover of this book is fun! It has bold, contrasting end pages in yellow and hot pink foiling underneath the jacket. . . . . . . . #deathprefersblondes #dragqueens #queerbooks #heist #lgbt #booksofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #booksofig #bookaddict #bookporn #bookphoto #bookphotography #bücherwurm #bücherliebe #livreaddict #livrestagram #readstagram #readersofinstagram #igbooks #igreads #bookbloggers #booklovers #bookdragon #books #amreading #yalit #yabooks #ya #youngadult #yafantasy

Are you reading anything romantic on Valentine's Day? THE WICKED COMETH is a sapphic romance and a Gothic historical mystery. I really enjoyed it. ---- The year is 1831 Down the murky alleyways of London, acts of unspeakable wickedness are taking place and no one is willing to speak out on behalf of the city's vulnerable poor as they disappear from the streets. Out of these shadows comes Hester White, a bright young woman who is desperate to escape the slums by any means possible. When Hester is thrust into the world of the aristocratic Brock family, she leaps at the chance to improve her station in life under the tutelage of the fiercely intelligent and mysterious Rebekah Brock. But whispers from her past slowly begin to poison her new life and both she and Rebekah are lured into the most sinister of investigations. Hester and Rebekah find themselves crossing every boundary they've ever known in pursuit of truth, redemption and passion. But their trust in each other will be tested as a web of deceit begins to unspool, dragging them into the blackest heart of a city where something more depraved than either of them could ever imagine is lurking . . . . . . . . . . . #gothicfiction #sapphic #queerbooks #lgbtbook #diversebooks #thewickedcometh #historical #historicalmystery #booksofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #booksofig #bookaddict #instagood #bookporn #bookphoto #bookphotography #bücherwurm #bücherliebe #livreaddict #livrestagram #readstagram #readersofinstagram #igbooks #igreads #bookbloggers #booklovers #bookdragon #books #amreading
