July plans, current reads, and my GIANT TBR

-
How is it July already?! I’m slowly losing my mind, because I’m less than 3 weeks away from my first plane trip EVER. 😬 BUT, it’s to Realm Makers, so I’m so. freaking. excited!!! Anyone else heading to St. Louis? That’s pretty much my only big thing happening this month, but for me, it’s kind of the biggest thing ever. 😂

This week I finished 3 books! In order, they are:

When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon
It’s ADORABLE. Fluffy, funny, sweet and a fun read. 😊

From Twinkle, With Love by Sandhya Menon
It reads a bit younger than WDMR, but the characters are younger, so it *gasp* makes sense that they act/sound younger. Again, a cute and fun summery read!

Sons of Blackbird Mountain by Joanne Bischof
Barnes and Noble sent my copy early, so this one actually releases TOMORROW! But HOLY COW I LOVE THIS BOOK! It didn’t make me cry like The Lady and The Lionheart did, but I came close. It’s gorgeously written, and a beautiful story, and I can’t recommend it enough. ❤️

My current read is My Plain Jane by the Lady Janies (otherwise known as Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton and Jodi Meadows) and I’m LOVING IT! A hilarious twist on Jane Eyre, and a fun read so far! More next week on this one. 😉 and I’m starting The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon for a buddy read, so I’ll let you guys know what I think at a later date!

My TBR is huge and I’m hoping to get it down a bit this month! Feel free to check out my insta for pics of the books I’m planning to read!

That’s about it for today, but remember, tomorrow is Trope Tuesday! I’ll have a post just talking about some tropes we love and hate, so feel free to check back tomorrow! I’ll make a note in my insta stories when the post is up.

Later nerds!
Hobbit Queen out. ❤️

Hi guys! Welcome to my bookshelf! I’m Heidi, aka The Hobbit Khaleesi, and this is where you’ll find all my fangirl raves about books I love! I’m a 20-something Cali girl who loves books, Jesus, coffee, and ALL the nerdy things. ❤️ I’m also an author-in-training, which is my ridiculous way of saying I’m a writer who is learning how to write a novel.😜 My current WIP is a lovely little vaguely gothic monster that is part mythology, part fairytale, and all the twisty drama. I might occasionally be convinced to share some tidbits about the story, playlists I’m using for inspiration, and updates on how the process of getting it all on paper is going. Feel free to follow me on Instagram @heidiwilson.thehobbitkhaleesi for all my bookstagram shenanigans! I have to go feed my dragons, so Hobbit Queen out. 😜❤️

Hi guys! It’s Monday again, which means new post day!! I’ll be trying to post most Mondays, and the first Tuesday of every month, because I’m hoping to start a new tag! The first Tuesday of every month will be Trope Tuesday! On which I will post about some of our favorite and not-so-favorite tropes! I’ll be talking mostly about why we love them, why we don’t, and other such fun things, so be sure to check for that starting July 3rd! You know those weeks when you think you’ll finally get stuff done, you have energy and time and all the caffeine and you’re ready to take on anything? Yeah, this wasn’t one of those for me. Wednesday morning I woke up with the worst. head cold. ever. Turns out, being able to breathe and move at the same time is kind of necessary, who knew? I spent Wednesday through Friday in bed doing almost nothing. But, I did manage to read 4 books, finish an audiobook I was working my way through, and get some plot points ironed out on my WIP, so aside from the breat...

July’s end, Realm Makers, and writing pitches!

-
Hi guys! HOW is it August already?! Seriously I can’t even. 😬🤷🏼‍♀️ July was CRAZY. I was busy, and pretty stressed, but thankfully life is slowing down some. Realm Makers was AMAZING. It was my first time flying anywhere,  thus the above mentioned stress, but the flights were uneventful. The conference itself absolutely FLEW by, and I wish it hadn’t. I miss my people. Hugs to all of you Realmies reading this! ❤️😘 Sooo, at Realm Makers my lovely friend Nadine Brandes taught a workshop on how to pitch your novel, and while it’s not written yet, I have an AWESOME pitch for my WIP! I might share it here someday when I’ve gotten a bit more written. 😉 Since I barely posted any in July because life is crazy, here’s a rundown of what I read between my last post and now! The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon I read this for a buddy read through the month of July, and I LOVED it! The characters are fascinating, flawed, and complex, and the world is vivid and full of some pretty c...
