✨ the woman in me reflection im very hesitant t ✨ the woman in me reflection im very hesitant to ever call my look back at a memoir a “review” - because saying i reviewed someone’s life story feels a bit detached - but i’m more than happy to recommend a book to you guys! this is a great one for that, especially for a glimpse into what the media and society can and will do to a young girl in the spotlight. i think regardless of whether or not you’re a fan of britney, there’s something you can take away from this, which is why i loved it so much. it feel less as if she was reciting her life, and more as if she was acting as a spokesperson for the negative effects of fame. it was such an enlightening, fast paced, and informative read. 💖 if you want to read my full reflection, my blog is linked in my bio! 💗 qotd: what’s your favorite britney spears song? mine is “sometimes” 🥹 🌸 #bookstagram #booksta #bookrecommendations #bookblogger #bookish #books #booksbooksbooks #bookstagrammer #booklover #bookaddict #thewomaninme #britneyspears #memoir #nonfictionbooks
the bridge kingdom fairyloot set 🗡️🌊 y’ the bridge kingdom fairyloot set 🗡️🌊 y’all… i wish i could properly articulate how much i LOVE the bridge kingdom series by @danielleljensen 🩵 as someone who doesn’t normally enjoy the fantasy genre, reading this series was a huge leap of faith for me and it paid off in DROVES. everything about this series (plot, atmosphere, characterization, etc.) is an absolute five stars and keeps me recommending it time and time again. i loved these books so much that they were the first purchase i ever made from @fairyloot! 💗 these editions are so gorgeous and i have my fingers crossed that the next 4 in the series will also be available one day, so i can add them to my ever growing collection 🤞 qotd: have you read the bridge kingdom series? who is your favorite character? i love keris so much - he’s one of my favorite book characters ever 🥹 🌸 #bookstagram #booksta #bookrecommendations #bookblogger #bookish #bookreview #books #booksbooksbooks #bookstagrammer #booklover #bookaddict #romancebooks #thebridgekingdom #fairyloot
