will I ever post consistently on insta? probably n will I ever post consistently on insta? probably not! but here, have a pic of me paying tribute to the queen of the scarlet gang herself, juliette cai 🥰 full review coming up on my blog! (I know! my blog is still a thing, somehow!) #bookstagram #yabooks #theseviolentdelights #scarletgang #romeoandjuliet
in the three years since I read TRUTHWITCH, my lif in the three years since I read TRUTHWITCH, my life has been changed for the better.
.
Sooz is one of the kindest people I know and has the biggest heart. she helped introduce me to some of my best friends, and created my fave fictional world.
.
a lesser person would simply ignore their mistakes; Sooz actively works on learning and doing better.
.
so thank you, Sooz, for your generosity and love. the least we can do is say thank you #WeLoveSooz
hi, friends! I know I’m not on here a lot, but I hi, friends! I know I’m not on here a lot, but I have a favor to ask: please sign up for my GIRLS OF STORM AND SHADOW ARC Tour! I have ARCS that will go across the world to get read and annotated by LGBTQ+ and/or asian readers. then, I’ve partnered up with Natasha’s publisher to send them to her as a gift from her readers. if you’re interested at all, please sign up! link is in the bio. (also enjoy this picture I made LOL) #gopaf #gosas #girlsofpaperandfire #girlsofstormandshadow

HAPPY PRIDE!!! sorry for the radio silence/random posts 😬 I’m so busy and my mental health is all over the place, BUT AT LEAST THERE ARE BOOKS! I decided to make my version of the poc pride flag book collage, after seeing Bookish’s attempt at one; that one included some questionable choices for LGBTQ+ rep (Harry Potter?????? Queen of Shadows??????????). they reached out to me and said the design was a few years old, explaining why books like GOPAF were left out; they’ll put out a new one soon, which is promising! nevertheless, I’m v much proud of what I’ve made, with at least half of the books written by LGBTQ+ authors, ALL with *explicit* LGBTQ+ rep. so. HAPPY PRIDE FROM THIS BI DISASTER! 💗💜💙 #bookstagram #lgbtbooks #happypride
the flowers are in bloom, Descendant of the Crane the flowers are in bloom, Descendant of the Crane is an AMAZING book, and life’s okay. ✨

🌈🌈🌈 it’s day 5 of the #bloodwitchbookst 🌈🌈🌈
it’s day 5 of the #bloodwitchbookstagram challenge, and I’ve been lowkey participating on twitter (@/samanthaistan). I loved how well this picture turned out that I had to share it on here. 🌈
the prompt is #threadwitch: rainbow books, representing how threadwitches see the colorful threads that bring us together (or tear us apart). 🌈
if you haven’t read the Witchlands series, then what are you waiting for??? it is one of my favorite series, and I CANNOT WAIT for BLOODWITCH!

🔥🔥🔥 as you can see, I’m kinda in love w 🔥🔥🔥
as you can see, I’m kinda in love with GIRLS OF PAPER AND FIRE by @girlinthelens. this story is so important to me; as I wrote in my full review, (link in the bio!) GIRLS is like a beacon of light in the darkness.
✨
I absolutely love the @fairyloot edition of the book with the pride colors and the pink sprayed edges! the whole October box was one of my favorites 💕 you can watch my unboxing in my highlights!
✨
have you read GIRLS yet? let me know if you have! 
CW: sexual assault, trauma, emotional abuse (please let me know if I’m missing any)

🍂 have I talked about how much I love the UK pa 🍂
have I talked about how much I love the UK paperback covers of the Witchlands series? I absolutely LOVE the US covers, but there’s something so special about the UK covers. they tie in parts of what makes this series so magical. anyway, I could talk about my love for the Witchlands all day. 🍂
if you want some good good Witchlands content on twitter, check out @ incorrectwlands! I run it, but due to my hilariously busy schedule, it’s mainly Witchlander-submitted quotes right now. hopefully once NaNo is over and my workload at my jobs lightens up, I can fully commit to spreading the word of the Witchlands 💕

💕 after watching To All The Boys I’ve Loved B 💕
after watching To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, which I LOVED with my entire being, I needed another YA rom-com to plow through. I am SO GLAD I brought I BELIEVE IN A THING CALLED LOVE by Maurene Goo because it was so SO good! a full review is up on my blog (link in the bio! also, I have a blog now lol) read this if you want that same fuzzy feeling plus some awesome Asian American girl rep!

🎶🎶🎶 for anyone who didn’t see my (nearl 🎶🎶🎶
for anyone who didn’t see my (nearly incomprehensible) reaction to receiving this GORGEOUS bookmail on my insta stories yesterday, here it is in all its glory!
🎶
I am so unbelievably excited to read FOR A MUSE OF FIRE by Heidi Heilig! from the cover to the premise to the snippets of sheet music Heidi posted on twitter, September can’t come soon enough!!!
🎶
fun fact: I’ve been playing the piano for 18 years (!!!) and these are a few of the pieces I’m currently working on. one is the main theme from Pride and Prejudice (2005), one of my favorite P&P adaptations.

In honor of #nationaltattooday, here is a nice, clear photo of my @lbardugo tattoo! (In Leigh’s handwriting, natch) Leigh featured it in her story during Bookcon, which was undoubtedly my FAVORITE moment from that weekend. That quote means so much to me, and the fact that Leigh wrote it in her handwriting for my tattoo? 😭
Q: does anyone have/want bookish tattoos?
A: um YES I want so many more. I might get a Truthwitch-inspired tattoo soon, as well as an Ember Quartet-inspired one! Also, I’m considering getting an “ignite” tattoo...🙊

bookcon recap, part 2 🌥 here are most of the bo bookcon recap, part 2
🌥
here are most of the books I purchased, as well as some cool free swag! (full disclosure: I received signed copies of The City of Brass and The Poppy War for free with my VIP pass) I haven’t read any of these books, with the exception of Geekerella, and am so excited to start them!
💗
guess who finished Girls of Paper and Fire?! this girl 🤗 it feels so great to be repped in a YA Fantasy, especially with a bi asian lady MC. is this how white people feel all the damn time?
✨
bookcon recap, part 1 ✨ because I def can’t ke bookcon recap, part 1
✨
because I def can’t keep this to one post, I’ll start with most of the authors I met! I HAD to start with that pic of meeting Tahereh Mafi; I was utterly dumbstruck and probably sounded incomprehensible skhdhsjs
💗
I started out the day meeting Sabaa Tahir, which was short but glorious. I had just finished Torch the night before, so I was still v emotional about *gestures vaguely* all that. she was so sweet and I can’t wait to see her again on the Reaper tour 🙃
🌥
Ashley Poston was so lovely! We bonded over the importance of deodorant at cons. Deodorant or Death. 🌈
I’ve already talked a bit about meeting Leigh and being in her insta story, but I think I’ll go in depth on that in my next post or so.
💕
it’s not news that I love Sooz, but just in case you didn’t know: I love Sooz! The Witchlands series means so much to me, and she’s generally one of the kindest and most genuine people I’ve ever met. I’ve met her a few times already and each interaction has been better (and even more hilarious) than the last. I think I’ll put the inscription she wrote in one of my copies of Truthwitch in my next post 😈
✨
Sunday was more chill, and I met the incomparable Soman Chainani. We talked about tennis and our shared hatred of Sharapova 🙈 I also added a few solo pics from the really cool photo booths. tbh I felt like I’m ready to rule the world on that cgi throne 👑
(mini bookcon recap!) ✨the girl with the golden (mini bookcon recap!)
✨the girl with the golden eyes✨ literally can’t believe I managed to snag a copy of Girls of Paper and Fire. I’d already come to terms with waiting until october to read it BUT LOOK HERE IT IS AND IT’S BEAUTIFUL! (of course I’m keeping my preorder and still can’t wait until it officially comes out...BUT STILL 😍🙃😱)
🤷🏻‍♀️
it has been A MINUTE, instagram! I’ve been so busy with my jobs and life, but I’m hoping to dedicate more time to my account. SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED WHERE DO I EVEN START???
✨
BookCon was this past weekend and not gonna lie, this was my favorite one yet. In the past, I kinda isolated myself, and that’s never fun during a convention. This year, I made the effort to put myself out there and BOY HOWDY did that work.
💕
first off, I MADE IT ONTO LEIGH BARDUGO’S INSTA STORY! I added the screenshots here for posterity, as if I’d ever want to forget possibly the peak of my bookcons. I don’t know if I’ve told the story of my tattoo, but I’ll save that for another day (or you can just stalk my twitter kshsjsj)
🌈
I met some incredible people, who I’ve tagged in this post. Thank you for helping making this the best bookcon yet. That’s all for now! I’ll try my hardest to do a full haul or something by the weekend, but no promises...ily all and thank you for sticking with me 💕 #bookstagram #bookcon #bookcon2018 #leighbardugo #girlsofpaperandfire
my entry for #starlightofmaas! I just finished #ac my entry for #starlightofmaas! I just finished #acofas and felt all the feelings 🙃 while it’s not perfect, I think it served as a nice ending to feyre and rhys’s story, as well as the beginning of a new journey that I’m totally on board for. also, this cover is GORGEOUS #acotar #sarahjmaas
🤷🏻‍♀️ *promises to post biweekly* *doe 🤷🏻‍♀️
*promises to post biweekly* *doesnt follow through*
lol I swear I’m not ignoring my instagram, but, you know, life and such gets in the way. ✨

👸🏼👸🏻 I adore the School for Good and E 👸🏼👸🏻
I adore the School for Good and Evil series! The ending of Quests for Glory absolutely destroyed me and left me needing- no, BEGGING for the next book. Anyway, I love Sophie and did a little homage to her. (Yes, this was also an excuse to showcase the prettiest makeup packaging I own!)

🌙 physical book or ebook: physical, but I’ll buy an ebook if it’s a good deal!

I read The Cruel Prince a little over a week ago and was absolutely blown away. The story, the characters, the twists and turns, the moral ambiguity: the hype surrounding this book is completely warranted. I love the world that @blackholly crafted and CANNOT wait for the next book!
