I'm going away to the seaside for a week! ๐ŸŒŠ I'm not taking as many books as last time, which was far too many for any human to read in a week! I'll be playing lots of Animal Crossing to distract me from the SIX mosquito bites I acquired yesterday while blackberry picking. Send help. ๐ŸŒŠ This photo is another part of the beautiful Penguin books market stall from a few weeks ago. ๐Ÿ“š #books #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookstagrammer #bookish #market #penguinclassics #penguinbooks #booklover #bibliophile #booknerd #instabooks #holiday #reading #reader #readersofinstagram #igreads
This is the book I shared on my story with the quote about poetry. It's also one that made myself and @finallyimkath laugh out loud in the library yesterday. It's gorgeously funny. Written by a Japanese Court gentlewoman for her own amusement, it's full of wit and a fair bit of sass. These reflections are inspiring and thought-provoking while being enough to make you cry laughing. And I've only read a few extracts so far. Swipe to read 'Things that can't be compared'. ๐ŸŒ  #thepillowbook #penguinclassics #seishonagon #japaneseliterature #book #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookish #booklover #booknerd #igreads #bookstagrammer #bookgram #bookphotography #bookphoto #instabook #reading #currentlyreading #readersofinstagram #bibliophile
Seeing a bunch of Penguin books on a market stall is a very specific kind of joy ๐Ÿ“š #books #bookish #bookstagram #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #penguinbooks #penguinclassics #paperbacks #booklover #booknerd #becauseofbooks #igreads #instabooks #igbooks #bookworm #bookgram #spinebenders #reader #readersofinstagram #booklove #bookphoto #bookphotography
Got home yesterday to find The Happy Reader had arrived! I borrowed the book of the season from the library but I've not finished reading it because I'm scared it will fall apart in my hands...๐Ÿ“– #thehappyreader #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #penguinbooks #bookish #meditations #marcusaurelius #booknerd #booklover #reader #readersofinstagram #bibliophile #magazine #nofilter
