You haven't got a letter on yours, I suppose she thinks you don't forget your name. But we're not stupid - we know we're called Gred and Forge.

Fantastic read with a really interesting premise. Gripping story that has you turning pages long after you should've gone to bed. Jules and her Father are running out of hours, the currency of their land, to try to help, Jules takes a job at the palacial residence of the Lord Gerling. Not all is as it seems, and Jules soon finds herself mixed up in all kinds of strange and magical business!

I'm back! I've had a crazy few weeks at my summer job, working overtime to buy more books, moving down to London to start my grad job! I also forgot to pack my background so had to wait for the new one to come through! But all is well and I can take photos again! How was your summer?

How aesthetically pleasing are these books next to one another! I own a few series where the spines match up to make a picture but never the front covers! How cool? 😍🎨
Very excited to read these short stories by George R.R. Martin, book 2 includes the Song of Ice and Fire novella; The Hedge Knight. 📚
Anyone been watching season 7?❄🔥

Linear At first I was like a why would they be likely overheard in a book shop? But then I was like oh because the shops are quiet in most societies. Really not in the ones that I've been though. I guess there's a lot of boisterous people around here 7y
sammys_shelf @Linear oh really?! You could have heard a pin drop in there earlier today! Where do you live? 7y
Linear I live in Georgia, USA. The only book shop that I know of that's close to us is a Barnes & Noble that's in 45 minutes to an hour drive away from where I live. It's like an entrance to a mall so you usually have people chatting away as they walk through trying to get into the mall. Or are you have people waiting in line at the Starbucks that's inside of it chatting away. 7y

sammys_shelf @Linear wow! I couldn't imagine having a bookshop so loud! Where I live though its a fairly small bookshop. (I live in a village along the east coast of England). Very limited for choice, but it is close! Not sure which I'd prefer!! Though I can imagine you probably take your time there since its so far away! 7y
Linear @sammys_shelf I actually have a big going there because it's so far away and there's a lot of road work between here and there. But it is very distracting when you go. I wish there were more books stores around here, there was one but it went out of business everyone just relies on ordering online now I guess. 7y
sammys_shelf @Linear that is true, but i much prefer not to. I think because I've had so many damaged copies or ones that are not as shown/described! You've really got to be careful where you buy them! 7y

Not a book but ink and wonder woodmarks! They're so beautiful! I have a few others back home but these were delivered to my boyfriend's place and I have finally been united with them! 😍 he seems to have claimed a few for himself!
Though A Game of Thrones is 5 stars anyway!

My most recent read. I'd been very excited to read this since reading Shadow and Bone and I was not let down! Though not so crazy and surprising as the first, I feel like the second book in a trilogy always feels more like bridge book, building the plot and suspense. Nevertheless I would still 100% recommend this book (and series). I can't wait to see what Ruin and Rising has in store!

"Remember, it's only a game."
One of my favourite reads this year! I had a feeling this would be a good book, but I was not ready for the roller coaster it took me on! Absolutely gripping, I finished it in 2 days and when I had to put the book down to go to lectures I was so sad! If you haven't read it yet I recommend you do! I'm still flabbergasted by some of the events and outcomes! Definitely one which causes a major book hangover!
