Kibby @ somethingofthebook

Hi there! I'm Kibby, a 30ish year old book devourer, living in Northern California! When not reading I am writing about demon hunters, rewatching Great British Bake Off and Doctor Who too much, and lamenting over the lack of appreciation for Rogue One. I am also a #bookstagrammer under the IG handle of somethingofthebook.

In Kyrkarta, magic—known as maz—was once a freely available natural resource. Then an earthquake released a magical plague, killing thousands and opening the door for a greedy corporation to make maz a commodity that’s tightly controlled—and, of course, outrageously expensive. Which is why Diz and her three best friends run a highly lucrative, highly illegal maz siphoning gig on the side. Their next job is supposed to be their last heist ever. But when their plan turns up a powerful new strain of maz that (literally) blows up in their faces, they’re driven to unravel a conspiracy at the very center of the spellplague—and possibly save the world. No pressure. #SpellHackertour #Spellhacker #m.k.england #EpicReads #storygramtours #bookstagram #booksta #newreleases #instareads #instabooks #vscobooks #vsco #bookish #bookishflatlay #bookishlifestyle #booksarelife #books #yafiction #yalit #bookgiveaway #read #reader #readersofinstagram #booksofinstagram #booknerd #bookworm #bookdragon #bookaddict

Do you ever participate in readalongs/readathons? I see so many cool ones around but I almost never join because I feel like I get too stressed out or lose steam with them. HOWEVER! There is always an exception to the rule and in this case, the exception is the awesome Tamora Pierce readalong, #TPreadalong, hosted by @bookish_black_hole, @aforestofbooks, and @booksandbreadcrumbs! I LOVE Pierce's Toratall books and will jump at any excuse to read them. Check out their pages for more info! Technically I'm going to be starting the readalong late because OMG HOW DID I FALL SO FAR BEHIND IN REVIEW BOOKS? I'm calm, I'm cool, I'm collected (no I'm not. send help!). Anyways, I'm going to wait until I get caught up on some of my current reads then I'm jumping into the Alanna books. If y'all have never read the Tortall books, or if you've just been looking for an excuse to reread them like me, you should totally join in! The reading schedule is totally chill and manageable! ↡ ↡ ↡ ↡ ↡ ↡ ↡↡Tags #oldschoolya #tamorapierce #readalong #tortall #ireadya #penguinrandomhouse #booklifestyle #lifestyle #aesthetic #bookaesthetic #bookaddict #bookgram #booktography #bookphotography #bookstack #vscobook #bookcommunity #bookstacks #booksofinstagram #cozyvibes #bookspine #igreads #vsco #vscobooks #bookstagram #books #instareads #instabooks

Are there any adaptations you are waiting for? I am so stoked for the Grishaverse adaptation from @netflix! It is still too early for me to let myself be consumed by anticipation, but every once in a while it kinda slaps me in the face. ↡ ↡ ↡ #bookreadhappyhour | #oneauthorbookstack #wildadventuresJan20 | Six of Crows: Characters with close bonds #bookishcoven | It's darkened windows now bearded with snow #newyearnewcourt20 | Characters you love to hate #moodreadersjan20 | #waitingonwednesday | Waiting on that Netflix adaptation! #readingintheweb | Book you want to reread ↡ ↡ ↡ ↡↡Tags #queenbardugo #grishaverse #shadowandbone #booklifestyle #lifestyle #aesthetic #bookaesthetic #bookaddict #bookgram #booktography #bookphotography #bookstack #vscobook #bookcommunity #bookstacks #booksofinstagram #cozyvibes #bookspine #igreads #vsco #vscobooks #shelfie

How flexible are you with your reading plans? I try to go into my reading with some kind of plan. Between buddy reads, ARCs, backlist books threatening to kill me in my sleep, and just books I generally want to read, without a plan, chaos can ensue. But today is a prime example of awesomeness occurring when I break from my reading plan. Last night I downloaded my copy of The Martian from Audible onto my phone to check that I still had the old version with the fantastic narrator, R.C. Bray (they recently re-recorded the audiobook with Wil Wheaton, and as much as I like Wheaton as a narrator, I listened to a sample and was NOT impressed with his narration for this one). After finding out that yes, I do still have my preferred edition, I continued with my night. Cut to me getting to work today and realizing I forgot to download my copy of This Shattered World (Starbound #2). I really didn't want to use the data to download the book since I'm not on WiFi at work. So, here I am, chuckling along as Mark Watney realizes just how fucked he is, stuck up on Mars all by his lonesome. Y'all, if you like science fiction, snark, and survival stories, you must read this book. At bare minimum, watch the damn movie. Both are absolutely fantastic. ↡ ↡ ↡ ↡ ↡ ↡ ↡↡Tags #books #bookishfeature #booklifestyle #lifestyle #aesthetic #bookaesthetic #bookaddict #bookgram #booktography #bookphotography #bookstack #vscobook #bookcommunity #bookstacks #booksofinstagram #igreads #bibliofeature #cozyvibes #bookspine #audiobooks #sciencefiction #themartian #mattdamon #crownpublishing #andyweir #ireadadult #bookishflatlay #igreads #vsco #vscobooks
