Last night I watched the first episode of the PBS Masterpiece show Victoria and I am HOOKED. I cannot believe it's taken me so long to find this show, especially since I'm obsessed with The Crown and was going through major withdrawals while waiting for the latest season. ⁠ ⁠ Daisy Goodwin's book, Victoria, has been on my TBR shelf for a few years now and I'm so inspired to start reading it now. Have you read this book? Have you seen the show??⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #elliesbookshelf #victoria #daisygoodwin #historicalfiction #britishhistoricalfiction #victoriabydaisygoodwin #biographicalnovel #bookster #booklover #historicalfictionlover #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookish #reading #bookphotography #booktography #queenvictoria #booklove #instabook #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #bibliophile #igbooks #bookalicious #flatlay #bookishlife #decemberreading #bookreader #bookishlove #bookcommunity
Thriller Thursday 😱⁠ ***⁠ A few weeks ago I asked you all to help me pick my next thriller. The Ruin by Dervla McTiernan and Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell were both voted for and I will read them...eventually. ⁠ ⁠ I like to listen to mystery/thrillers instead of reading them and I always get my audiobooks through my library (why pay twice for the same books??). But that means I have to wait for the audiobooks to become available and unfortunately neither of them are at the moment. So I downloaded The Death of Mrs. Westaway instead and I have not been disappointed!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #elliesbookshelf #thedeathofmrswestaway #ruthware #mysterythriller #audiobook #mysterybook #mysterybooks #thriller #bookstagram #instabooks #books #thrillerbooks #bibliophile #bookworm #readersofinstagram #bookaesthetic #bookaddict #readingaddict #currentread #readersofig #currentlyreading #currentlylistening #alwaysreading #givemeallthebooks #readallday #readallthebooks #allthebooks #readerforlife #thrilleraddict #mustread
It's 2020 Reading Goals time! Have you made any reading plans for next year yet??⁠ ⁠ In 2020 I want to prioritize reading bigger books. I won't be setting a crazy high Goodreads goal like I have in the past that way I can feel free to read what I want, when I want no matter how long it is. ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #elliesbookshelf #readinggoals #readinggoals #2020readinggoal #ilikebigbooks #ilikebigbooksandicannotlie #thecastleofkings #oliverpotsch #fallofgiants #kenfollett #intothewilderness #saradonati #russka #edwardrutherfurd #historicalfiction #literature #fiction #bigbooks #bookstack #bookpile #whattoread #toberead #tbr #lovereadingbooks #bookishthings #iheartbooks #avidreader #bookpost #ilovebooks #becauseofreading
The end of the year is almost here! What book(s) do you hope to finish out the year/decade with? I haven't decided which books I want to prioritize yet... but time is running out so I better get going!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #elliesbookshelf #sarahwaters #thenightwatch #fingersmith #historicalfiction #literaryfiction #literature #flatlay #bookishflatlay #whattoread #whatiread #book #books #bookgram #bookstagram #bookish #bookishlove #reading #readingislife #readerforlife #readerlife #readinggoal #readinggoals #timetoread #needtoread #mustread #idratherbereading #booktography #bookphotography #readmore
This Thanksgiving @ryanandersenmedia and I roadtripped up to Portland where we visited family and stopped in at Powell's City of Books (of course)! So naturally, most of the books I hauled this past month were bought used from Powell's, one was a Goodreads giveaway, and The Starless Sea I ordered specially from the UK. ⁠ ***⁠ What books did you haul in November??⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #elliesbookshelf #thestarlesssea #erinmorgenstern #forloveandcountry #candacewaters #thedeathofmrswestaway #ruthware #skyward #brandonsanderson #thetresspasser #tanafrench #dune #frankherbert #themapofsaltandstars #jenniferzeynabjoukhadar #thestonesky #nkjemisin #bookhaul #novemberbookhaul #scifibooks #fantasybooks #mysterybooks #literature #literaryfiction #fiction #ireadfiction #bookstoread #tbr #needtoread #mustread
My November wrap up is a little small 🤷🏼‍♀️I actually read three books, but one of them is an ebook that I don't own a physical copy of.⁠ ***⁠ 🍂The Perfect Christmas: Can This Be Christmas?⁠ by Debbie Macomber (⭐️⭐️⭐️)⁠ 🍂The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️)⁠ 🍂The Witches of New York by Ami McKay (⭐️⭐️⭐️)⁠ ***⁠ What books did you read in November??⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #elliesbookshelf #novemberwrapup #wrapup #readingwrapup #bookstack #bookpile #theturnofthekey #ruthware #thewitchesofnewyork #amimckay #theperfectchristmas #debbiemacomber #mysterythriller #mysterybook #thriller #historicalfiction #fallreading #fallreads #idratherbereading #ilovereading #ilovebooks #readerforlife #book #books #bookgram #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #whatiread #booksbooksbooks #alwaysreading
