If you only follow my blog (and not other my other social media accounts), you may not realize that I probably spend as much time reading as I do photographing and admiring beautiful books. In fact, as embarrassing as it is to admit, taking pictures of books has become one of my favorite pastimes. So, I have decided I should share my love of beautiful books with you, and provide you with some bookish eye candy to start your week off right.
You can see more photos like this on my Instagram account!

Friends, what are you all reading this week?
A.S. Thornton has evolved from book blogger to author with a particular fondness for writing forbidden love in ancient deserts. When not writing, she’s caring for dogs and cats as a veterinarian. You’ll never find animals at the center of her writing, though, because those fictional worlds don’t have veterinarians and her literal brain can’t accept that the poor critters would be without parasite prevention. Thornton’s debut, DAUGHTER OF THE SALT KING is available wherever books are sold.

Not only eye candy, but also orgasm starters!! 🙂 🙂
This week I’m finishing Mexico and starting probably My Sister’s Bones and Caraval!
Ali
LOL! Oooh I hope you enjoy Caraval. I’m thinking I might be getting a copy of that in my next OwlCrate, so we’ll see. I haven’t heard of the other two books – hope you enjoyed/enjoy them 😀

The others are arcs, Mexico is not really for me, is a mix of short stories and the other one is a debut thriller I want to start already!hehe

These are gorgeous! I’m so glad I found your account a couple months ago. You’re right, though. Taking pictures of books is a lot of fun! Sometimes I spend more time photographing books than I do reading them. I think I already told you on Instagram most of the books I’m reading right now, but I’m adding Six Wakes into the mix tonight. xD
Ali
Hahaha, I sometimes think I spend more time photographing them as well XD It’s such a fun hobby. I hope you enjoy Six Wakes!!
