galaxy

Caught up in your stardust
kisses, I reach for my brush
and paint a galaxy with only
you in it.

-Our little piece of heaven at the edge of the world.

About last night...🍸💃🏼🍹💁🏼‍♀️ #friends #friendgoals #cocktails #mondays #mojito #drinks

Ending the seven days of my favourite book covers with Lily Collins’ ‘Unfiltered’. This book changed my life a couple of years ago and I’m hoping it will have the same power now 🌹 #beautifulbooks #favouritebooks #reread #unfiltered #lilycollins #bookstagram #readinginbed #motivation #selfhelp #selflove

Over the past few days I have been posting my favourite book covers. My pick my day 6 is this absolutely stunning copy of Grimm’s Fairy Tales, illustrated by Arthur Rackham 🥰 #bookstagram #beautifulbooks #grimmsfairytales #fairytales #favouritebooks #arthurrackham #bookcoverdesign #booklover #tuesday #morningroutine #studentlife #readinginbed

Writing down some of my favourite ‘Child of the Prophecy’ quotes before I put the book down and pick up my editing ✍🏻 . . ‘At the time when the clear blue of late afternoon began to dim and darken, as if a brush had been drawn across the vast expanse of sky to paint it in the shade of dried lavender, the hue of a dove’s wing, the colour of lichen on ancient stone, I went out barefoot, down the rough-hewn steps, all the way down to a place where great flat rocks raised their backs above the sea on the south side of the Needle. There would be times when the water washed the creviced surface of these monumental stones; even now, their secret corners held tiny pools, each with its delicate share of life: fragile sea creatures, clinging, fronded anemones and iridescent fishlings no longer than a single eyelash.’ . . #readinginbed #amreading #fantasy #celtic #morningroutine #creative #amediting #dissertation #inspiration #amwriting #studentlife

Circe is the next gorgeous book coming up on my reading list! I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to get to it but once I saw it was shortlisted for the Waterstones Book of the Year award, I knew it couldn’t wait any longer 🌼 | ‘Breathing life into the ancient world, Madeline Miller weaves an intoxicating tale of gods and heroes, magic and monsters, survival and transformation.’ | #mythretelling #myth #circe #waterstones #bookoftheyear #amreading #beautifulbooks #bookstagram #dissertation #research #studentlife #reading #englishliteraturestudent #winterreads

Reading in bed and treating myself to a big-ol’ coffee is exactly what Tuesday mornings are for 🍁☀️ #readinginbed #coffee #studentlife #englishliteraturestudent #bookstagram #tuesdays #amreading

The morning might be grey and cloudy, but my bed is comfy, my coffee is delicious and my book is gorgeous 🍂 . . ‘My father’s face was changing. The nose grew hooked, the deep red hair frosted with white, the skin wrinkled and blotched like an ancient apple left too long in store. [...] He raised a hand, and it was an old man’s hand, gnarled and knotted, with nails like claws of some feral creature.’ | just another reason why Juliet Marillier’s writing is just 😍✍🏻 . . #readinginbed #dissertation #readinglist #bookstagram #amreadingfantasy #coffee #research #planning #editing #creativecommunity #childoftheprophecy

Oh how I love that uni gives me the opportunity to spend the morning reading in bed ☕️📖☀️Baggy jumper ✅ large coffee ✅ Voltaire’s ‘Candide’ ✅ and we’reall set! #morningroutine #coffeetime #readinginbed #bookstagram #studentlife #englishliterature #voltaire #candide #amreading

This morning’s reading calls for a nice full mug (or two) of coffee. I felt like Persian Letters was a great start to my Enlightenment course and unlike any of the books I’ve read before; a chronological (for the most part) stream of letters which can simultaneous disguise themselves as a novel - so interesting! Let’s see where the rest of the morning takes me ☕️📖 #student #studentlife #enlightenmentliterature #amreading #bookstagram #englishstudent #englishliterature #persianletters #coffee #wednesdaymornings

Wishing it was Monday morning again so that I can be reading in bed with a yummy cup of coffee ☕️☀️ . . ‘What songs do you sing to them in Elfland? There, where all songs are true, and all stories history [...] A story may begin anywhere, as the maker chooses. My story begins under the Eildon Tree, there on the easternmost slope of the Eildon Hills [...] I rested in the moment, smelling the burnt and tangy wild air of autumn and looking, just looking, out over the great stretch of hill and sky, the river valley sparkling below.’ . . #dissertation #planning #amreading #celtic #myth #fantasy #amreadingfantasy #amwritingfantasy #bookstagram #editing #creativecommunity #student
