“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ― Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can't argue with Jane Austen!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is one of the very few wordsworth editions that I actually don't mind the cover on. It's not the best but better than a lot of the others. I still need to read the book though...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On the blog today is my review of Jeaniene Frost's urban fantasy book Halfway to the Grave. Link is in my bio.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📋QOTD: How do you take your coffee?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📰 Blog: elainehowlin.com⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🎥 YouTube: Elaine Howlin⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vintagefeels #totalbooknerd #bookaddiction #booklovers #bookmoments #bookishphotography #readersofig #literaturelover #booksandflowers #bookaesthetic #igbooks #bookgasm #readingtime #bookpics #bookobsessed #instareading #bookishpost #booksforever #somanybookssolittletime #theuncoolclub #bookishallure #booksfordays #booksandshares #readingtime #bookstagrammers #bookloversalways #creatorsie #TREASURETHISTIME #janeausten

Today's post is all about websites similar to FictFact. FictFact was a brilliant site for tracking series but sadly since it closed down a few months ago its been hard to find an alternative. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In today's post I chat about some other sites you can use and other ways to track your series. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔗 Link is in my bio⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📋QOTD: How do you currently track your series? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📰 Blog: elainehowlin.com⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🎥 YouTube: Elaine Howlin⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vintagefeels #totalbooknerd #bookaddiction #booklovers #bookmoments #bookishphotography #readersofig #literaturelover #booksandflowers #bookaesthetic #igbooks #bookgasm #readingtime #bookpics #bookobsessed #instareading #bookishpost #booksforever #somanybookssolittletime #theuncoolclub #bookishallure #booksfordays #booksandshares #readingtime #bookstagrammers #bookloversalways #creatorsie #TREASURETHISTIME #CREATIVITYCHASERS

I'm home!! Very happy to be home to himself @irish.jaguar But I did have a great time with my family and friends 💜 Uploaded my first weekly vlog on Friday (very excited!!) with some shots of what I got up to with my family. We visited Tintern Abbey in Wexford and the Japanese Gardens in Tramore. Both absolutely beautiful places. Excited to get back to blogging & vlogging like normal now 😊 . . 📰 Blog: elainehowlin.com 🎥 YouTube: Elaine Howlin . . . . . . . . #vintagefeels #totalbooknerd #bookaddiction #booklovers #bookmoments #bookishphotography #readersofig #literaturelover #booksandflowers #bookaesthetic #igbooks #bookgasm #readingtime #bookpics #bookobsessed #instareading #bookishpost #booksforever #somanybookssolittletime #theuncoolclub #bookishallure #booksfordays #booksandshares #readingtime #bookstagrammers #bookloversalways #creatorsie #TREASURETHISTIME #CREATIVITYCHASERS

Hi all, I am visiting family and friends for the next few days so I will be pretty quiet on here. Posts will continue as usual on my blog and channel 😊 In the meantime let's play a predictive text game! Some of my booksta friends do these often and they are so funny. . Finish the sentence using predictive text. . "Here lies [name]. He/She was _____." . Here lies Elaine. She was transferred to the court. 🤣🤣 . . . 📰 Blog: elainehowlin.com 🎥 YouTube: Elaine Howlin . . . . . #vintagefeels #totalbooknerd #bookaddiction #booklovers #bookmoments #bookishphotography #readersofig #literaturelover #booksandflowers #bookaesthetic #igbooks #bookgasm #readingtime #bookpics #bookobsessed #instareading #bookishpost #booksforever #somanybookssolittletime #theuncoolclub #bookishallure #booksfordays #booksandshares #readingtime #bookstagrammers #bookloversalways #creatorsie #TREASURETHISTIME #CREATIVITYCHASERS

Happy August!!! I love August!! Himself's birthday is this month and our wedding anniversary!!!! It's the best month! Also this month I am changing up my posting schedule on my blog and YouTube. Normally I post on Tuesdays and Thursdays but I have decided to add an extra posting day and move them to Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I've decided to post a weekly vlog every Friday with regular content on Mondays and Wednesdays.

And that's the end of Jane Austen July. It was a lot of fun I really enjoyed my month of Pride and Prejudice I just wish I could have read more!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Pictured is Unequal Affections by Lara S. Ormiston which is a retelling of Pride and Prejudice. It diverges from the original story at the point of Darcy's first proposal to Lizzie.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In this book she accepts him at this point before she has fallen in love with him. It was really good!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📋QOTD: Do you read retellings?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📰 Blog: elainehowlin.com⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🎥 YouTube: Elaine Howlin⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vintagefeels #totalbooknerd #bookaddiction #booklovers #bookmoments #bookishphotography #readersofig #literaturelover #booksandflowers #bookaesthetic #igbooks #bookgasm #readingtime #bookpics #bookobsessed #instareading #bookishpost #booksforever #somanybookssolittletime #theuncoolclub #bookishallure #booksfordays #booksandshares #readingtime #bookstagrammers #bookloversalways #creatorsie #TREASURETHISTIME #CREATIVITYCHASERS #janeaustenjuly

Keeping a reading journal is a fun and creative way to track your reading. I see it as a creative outlet as well as a tool for keeping track of what I've read during the year. I took inspiration from Brian Froud's pressed fairy books when designing mine so it's a bit of a mess but I love it! You can see a full flip through of my journal on my channel and blog now. Links to both are in my bio 💜 . 📰 Blog: elainehowlin.com 🎥 YouTube: Elaine Howlin . . . . #vintagefeels #totalbooknerd #bookaddiction #booklovers #bookmoments #bookishphotography #readersofig #literaturelover #booksandflowers #bookaesthetic #igbooks #bookgasm #readingtime #bookpics #bookobsessed #instareading #bookishpost #booksforever #readingjournal #theuncoolclub #bookishallure #booksfordays #booksandshares #readingtime #bookstagrammers #bookloversalways #creatorsie #TREASURETHISTIME #CREATIVITYCHASERS

It'sa me, Elaineo!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today I have a flip through of my reading journal for you. It's more of a scrapbook reading journal.

Hello everyone, it has been a while since I posted! I have been a busy lady the past two weeks but things should be getting back to normal now. If you would like to see what I have been up to you can check out my first vlog for Jane Austen July which is on my YouTube and blog now. Links to both in my bio 💜 . Anyway, today I posted something a little bit different. I came across the Pancake Book Tag a few weeks ago on WordPress and thought it would be perfect for trying out a BookTube Mukbang! It was a lot of fun to do and I got to eat delicious pancakes so I hope you all enjoy the video 😄💜 . 📋QOTD: How do you eat your pancakes? . 📰 Blog: elainehowlin.com 🎥 YouTube: Elaine Howlin . . . . . . . #vintagefeels #totalbooknerd #bookaddiction #booklovers #bookmoments #bookishphotography #readersofig #literaturelover #booksandflowers #bookaesthetic #igbooks #bookgasm #readingtime #bookpics #bookobsessed #instareading #bookishpost #booksforever #somanybookssolittletime #theuncoolclub #bookishallure #booksfordays #booksandshares #readingtime #bookstagrammers #bookloversalways #creatorsie #TREASURETHISTIME #CREATIVITYCHASERS
