👻 Happy Halloween! 🎃. . Ready to hear about how OBSESSED I am with The Hating Game by @sallythorneauthor? Because it's intense. This is easily in my top 5 favourite books of the year and I want to immediately start rereading it. Hilarious and sharply witty, chock full of delicious sexual tension and endearing moments, Josh and Lucy absolutely captivated my attention and leapt off the page💕. . A top recommendation from me if you love romance, contemporary, rom com, comedy and an AMAZING hate to love story that I can't, and don't want to, get over 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻. . Is anyone dressing up tonight? I was a cat on Friday and a 50's gal on Saturday (you can see a photo if you come find me on Twitter under @ sweptawaybbooks!) . .

Book 22: Susan Cain's Quiet. The feeling when you finish a book and have so much to say about it that you can't say anything. I've pored over the notes I made whilst reading Quiet, and have nothing comprehensive to say except it's a nourishing read for those who identify with the traits of an introvert and have always wanted to articulate, but never had the words to summarise their experiences. You are not alone. #2016bookmaterialityreads I can't find Oscar. I was halfway through The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, until I started reading Quiet, and now it's most likely made its way into the bottom of a bag, or goodness forbid, I have left it on a bus seat 😥. Sorry, @sophia_stories! So, here's book 23.

I love this book for so many reasons. It is really just a beautiful story of loss, hope, and fortitude by a young family that is really desperately trying to find themselves in such a wonderful prose that we all can relate to. One quote from this book that struck a chord with me is this: "We are unusual and tragic and alive."

Finished this wonderfully funny and charming book yesterday, although sadly I was no longer reading it with this view 😭. If you'd like to know what it is that every Frenchman has you'll have to read the book (you won't regret it!); I can guarantee that it's not what you think it is!

5. What I Read: Charlotte reads a healthy mix of classics and contemporary titles — you’ll find Dante one day and Ali Smith the next. The London-based reader includes snapshots from her travels on her feed, so you can escape to France with a glass of rosé and a good book right along with her.

"If only there could be an invention that bottled up a memory, like scent. And it never faded, and it never got stale. And then, when one wanted it, the bottle could be uncorked, and it would be like living the moment all over again." Daphne Du Maurier 🍎🍎🍎 I just finished my #currentread "The Birds" by Daphne Du Maurier and enjoyed almost all the stories. I did like the title story very much. "The Birds" was suspenseful, atmospheric, chilling, and delivered to my expectations. However, my favorite story was "The Old Man". I can't say much about the story without giving anything away but I will say that the last paragraph is absolutely brilliant 🙌🏻! I did not see it coming and it made me go back and immediately re-read the story. If you have not read "The Old Man" I highly recommend it. * I'm off to try to sell/donate my piles of books! Happy Saturday! 😊📖☕️🍎 #bookstagram #book #igreads #igbooks #instaread #instabook #read #currentlyreading #osfall #thebirds #bookandtea #daphnedumaurier #modernclassics #shortstories #viragopress

"What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though." J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye. This scenario, this shot, this book by @teresaseabra couldn't be more perfect for the #septemberscollection series! #bkfeature #igreads #readmore #the #bookish #bookworm #booklover #bookstagram #booksandbeans #bookshelf #bookstore #bookshop #explore #instabooks #instabookshop #instabookclub #bookclubcollective #booklover #literature #read #lovetoread #readmorebooks #mybookbath #triinbooks #jdsalinger #thecatcherintherye

I was wary of reading more Flynn after Dark Places left such a bad taste in my mouth, but I was pleasantly surprised by this one. The story was interesting and kept your imagination running wild. There are a lot of unanswered questions, but I think that it added to the creepiness of the story. I recommend reading it. It’s a quick read and it’s entertaining. 😊💕👻 ••• Scared to The Bone - #prspooktober16

9. Book Pairings: The only thing that could possibly be better than books and coffee is books and wine, and Lisa, the Bostonian behind Book Pairings, is as much an oneophile as she is a bibliophile. While her bookstagrams don’t always include a glass of wine, they are always relatable and her recommendations are always on point. During October, she recommended a creepy book every day in celebration of Halloween.

Alia: "It's heavy for a commute but I'm enjoying it. I'm reading the book for class. Frankl provides perspective on the world and teaches us to appreciate what we have. The human capacity to persevere through extraordinary situations is amazing. Personally, I'm taking away to not be so tightly wound which I naturally am. I want to add that to my toolkit: being levelheaded through my decision-making." @aahassan reading Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. #extraordinary #human #perspective #life #level #friyay #newyork #onthestreet @theubc for #subwaybookreview 🗽
