I bought this gorgeous necklace at Art in the Park a couple of weekends ago! 💕📚

New book review! "The Lost Coast" by Amy Rose Capetta. Highly recommended!!! Thank you to Candlewick and OLA Super Conference for the arc for review! This picture includes my lovely Titania Fortune cards 😍 . Read the full review at: https://powerlibrarian.wordpress.com/2019/06/11/book-review-the-lost-coast-by-amy-rose-capetta/ (link in bio) . Synopsis: The Lost Coast is a highly literary coming of age tale of a group of teenage witches, self-named the Grays. Their leader, Imogen, has gone missing, and they’ve tried nearly everything to find her. But when Danny moves to town, she brings with her a unique type of magic that might just be what they’re looking for, in more ways than one. . This book is beautifully written, and the words are like poetry on the page. It reminds me a little bit of a literary version of an 80s movie, with a bunch of lost kids trying to find their place in the world, but in this book, they’ve found their place--with each other. . There are many different points of view expressed throughout the book. We get a lot of chapters from Danny’s point of view, and others from the Grays’, but we also get the perspective of the other high school students, which provides context for why the Grays feel so out of place in their little, traditional town. To reinforce themes of magic in the book, Capetta occasionally provides the point of view of the trees and the ravens, which could be groan-worthy, but it somehow works. . One complaint I do have is that the book didn’t quite feature enough magic for me. I love books that have a strong theology that the author has created, a way of magic that just is, but Capetta didn’t spend much time on this. It would have been acceptable if the magic of this world was simple, but Imogen, for instance, is highly powerful, and it would have been a stronger story had the limitations of magic been explained, or at least demonstrated for the readers. . I recommend this book to anyone looking for an exquisitely literary take on queer witches. . . . #amreading #booklover #youngadult #ya #amreadingya #bookishcanadians #fantasy #canadianbookstagram #booksbooksbooks #booknerd #bookworm #tarot #witches

Cracking open my arc of Sorcery of Thorns, and I'm so pleased to see that it has a map! Does anyone else love maps, glossaries, and family trees in books? I've heard great things about this book, and I'm looking forward to reading it! . . . . . #amreading #mapmonday #maps #booklover #bookstagram #booknerd #bookworm #bookaholic #booksbooksbooks #books #bookphotography #igreads #read #readersofinstagram #reading #reader #currentlyreading #tbr #RWM19 #readwomen #bookreviewer

Happy Sock Sunday, bookworms! I finished reading "The Lost Coast" by Amy Rose Capetta yesterday, so I'm writing up a book review at my desk. This is the notebook I write all my book review notes in--it's starting to get a little beat up! Probably because when I'm ready for sleep I throw it across the room so I don't have to get out of bed to put it away. . I decided not to submit to the #FuriousFiction flash fiction contest this month. The pressure of a deadline made me unable to come up with an idea! Maybe next time... Today I'm writing up a book review, planning for the week, researching for a job interview (wish me luck!) and later I'm going to the movies to see Ma. I can't wait! It will either be amazing or dreadful or amazingly dreadful. I'm betting on the latter! . QOTD: What are you currently reading/writing/watching/doing? . . . . . #socksunday #lazysunday #bookreviewer #bookstagram #notebook #vintage #booknerd #bookworm #bookaholic #writer #author #writingcommunity #amreading #writing #planning #socks #cozy #desk #workspace #website #notebook #stationery

It's Saturday! This morning I'm lounging in bed reading "The Lost Coast" by Amy Rose Capetta. I'm doing the Reading Women Month Bingo, although I'm already not even working towards a line 😂 . Today's going to be busy! I already did some @lifeoflibrarians work (we have a teen librarian taking over this week!), I'm putting the final touches on a query letter from #PitMad on Thursday, I'm going to take a stab at the #FuriousFiction flash fiction contest, which is due tomorrow, and later I'm going to an Escape Room!! . QOTD: What are you up to this "lazy" Saturday? . . . . #amreading #booklover #bookbingo #womenwriters#feminism #booklover #bookbingo#bingo #goodreads #booknerd#bookish #bookworm #bookstagram#bookblog #bookreviewer#booksbooksbooks #readingchallenge#instareads #read#readersofinstagram #igreads #readingwomenmonth ##RWM19 #readwomen #bookstagram #bookphotography

Of course my hometown would get a bookstore *after* I move away! I snapped this picture last summer when I came home to Stittsville for a visit! (Stittsville is just on the outskirts of Ottawa, the capital of Canada!). I got a ton of books while visiting! . . . . #throwbackthursday #tbt #bookstore #bookstoresofinstagram #amreading #booklover #booknerd #travel #bookworm #booksbooksbooks #bookstores #bookhaul #bookish #bookaholic #canadianbookstagram #ottawa #canada
