Hello guys! HELLO JULY! No, no I’m not excited at all…but summer is here! Holidays are coming! Yeah…I’m a bit excited all right. How are you guys? Was June as intense as it was for me? Work was crazy but I had the chance to spend a couple of days in Bordeaux so yaay! I really need to stop with the exclamations points…
Anyway, I’m back today with a pretty awesome tag from the lovely Michelle @ Writing Hufflepuff, it’s called : The Book Aesthetics Tag. You really should do it because even if I spent AGES on this post, I had so much fun doing it. So let’s dive in, shall we?
FAVORITE BOOK OF THE YEAR
The year isn’t over, we’re only halfway through but for now I think I’ll go with In Search Of Us. It was a great surprise since I didn’t have any big expectations and I just really liked it. The story was emotional and well-written. The characters were A+. Put it on your TBR, you’ll love it I promise!
A CHARACTER YOU RELATE TO A LOT
Hard question! There’s a bit of me in every book character but I think the one I really related to was Isla from Isla and the Happily Ever After. I read that a lot of people had a hard time with her or the book I don’t know but for me she’s a romantic and I sympathized with her struggle to break out of her bubble.
A CHARACTER YOU LOOK UP TO
I don’t even have to think about it, the answer here is obvious and it’s Hermione (from Harry Potter if you lived in a cave the last 30 years…). She’s smart, brave and loyal. We need more strong female character like her!
AN UNDERRATED GEM
Nothing Left to Burn, I don’t think we talk about this book enough! It’s a compelling, dark and fascinating story. I loved the complex main character and the unique writing style. Give it a try, you’re in for a thrilling ride!
A CHARACTER THAT DESERVES MORE LOVE
Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl! Yeah, I know she’s real pain in the ass but hell she’s smart, ambitious and don’t take bullshit from anybody. Sometimes, when facing a hard situation, we really should ask ourselves : what would Blair Waldorf do?!
AN UNDERRATED OTP
Mmh…I’m thinking about Cress and Thorne from The Lunar Chronicles. I have the feeling that the books are more focused on Cinder & Scarlet’s relationships and it’s sad because I really like Cress and Thorne. She’s shy, he’s funny, they’re just so cute together!
What did you think of my answers? Anything in common?
Do you enjoy making aesthetics ? Do they make you want to read those books a bit more ?
Let’s chat in comments ?
This post is so pretty! Hermione is one of my favorite characters ever. I love her.
Thank you so much, glad you liked it! ? Yeees, Hermione is the best ?
I LOVE book aesthetics! I’m kinda that kind of person that gets intrigued by the cover and eventually falls in love with the pages too.
Yeeees, I’m totally like that! ?
YES!! Blair Waldorf, the iconic Queen B <3 I never read the books, but I absolutely loved the TV show 🙂 Hermonie is also a character I look up to a lot. She's fiercely loyal and wonderfully kind and smart. She's been my role model for who knows how long haha. I've never read Nothing Left To Burn, but the pointe shoes photo really caught my eye. Is it about ballet? I also finished reading the Lunar Chronicles series recently, and yes! 100% agree that I need more Cress and Thorne in my life <3 Thorne is seriously so much like Flynn Ryder, and I love it.
Great post Nyx ^_^
Queen B ❤️ Glad I’m not the only one thinking she deserves more love! Well…she’s as fierce in the books as she is in the tv show ? Oh yes, Hermione is the perfect role model. I think every girl should look up to her ? About Nothing Left To Burn, it’s not actually focused on ballet. The main character used to dance, and her little sister still does. If you’re looking for an intense read, you should give it a try! ? Cress & Thorne are making such an adorable couple ? Thank you so much Tiffany, thanks for stopping by ??
Yas queen, I love Cresswell! They were my favorite ship of the whole series. Really pretty aesthetics!
-Betty B
Yeees, I love them! They make such an adorable couple ? Thanks, glad you enjoyed them ?
I loved reading this! Your aesthetics are so pretty!! And YES. Hermione is awesome!! And Cress and Thorne are just so cute?!?! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. xx
Thank you so much! ?? Yeees, Hermione is the best. She’s brave and fierce and well…I just love her! ? Right?! Cress & Thorne are SO adorable ?
This is amazing! I love all of your photo collections. I really want to try this tag out but it’s definitely going to take me a little while to complete. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it! ?Haha, it took me a while too! Good luck haha ??
This was so fun to read!! blair waldorf is 100% my favorite character from Gossip Girl?? (who even liked dan ok) and all of these aesthetics are SOOO PRETTY I LOVE THEM.
Aww you’re sweet, thank you so much! ? Yeeees, Blair is queen! ? Ugh Dan…no comment haha ?
Love the Aesthetics! This looks like a fun tag and I loved reading yours answers!
Thanks! ? It took me while to do it but yeah it was really fun, you should do it ?
YAAS so agree that Blair could always use more love (gossip girl is my everything *ahem* chuck *ahem* did I say chuck?) also LOVE Thorne and Cress from the lunar chronicles and actually said he would be my fictional date in my latest tag ?great post loved all the aesthetics!!
YEEES! Blair is queen! Oh my god…Chuck ? Haha, Thorne would totally be an AWESOME date I agree! Thank you so much ?
I love Cress and Thorne. I’m hoping to read Winter soon, but right now, I’d say Cress is my favorite. Great job on all the aesthetics!

Thanks, glad you liked them! Yeah, I adore Cress. ? And you totally should read Winter soon! It’s PERFECTION ??
I love your aesthetics!! <3
Thanks! ??
LOVE your aesthetics and answers! Cress and Thorne’s relationship is definitely underrated, which is such a shame because I love them so much?? They’re probably my favourite ship, though I really do ship Cinder and Kai a lot as well… Now I want to reread the series 😛
Thank you so much! ? YEES! We need more Cress & Thorne! Between them and Cinder & Kai, we’ve been blessed with such great couples ? Oh my…I also want to re-read the whole series now ??
Oh these are gorgeous aesthetics Nyx. 🙂 I especially love the one for Isla and the Happily Ever After because it just makes me want to travel. Also I definitely agree with your answer for the last question. The Lunar Chronicles is one of my favourite series and Cress and Thorne are two of my favourite characters.
Great picks, and again great aesthetics! 😀 <3
Thank you so much Beth! ? It took me a while but the result is not too bad haha ? Yes, the Isla one got a bit of a travel vibe. ?Making the aesthetic for Cress & Thorne made me want to re-read the whole series all over again haha ?
That’s all right, and the result is amazing! 😀
I always want to re-read the entire series, and I’m actually hoping to this head as well. 🙂
Lovely post! Your aesthetics are amazing; I love all of them! ??
Thank you so much! ???
Love this post, Nyx! I absolutely agree about Thorne and Cress! Such a cute OTP that’s a bit underrated! <3
Thanks! ? Yeees totally ?
I love the aesthetics that you make for books! The one for In Search Of Us is so accurate and perfect for the book! I’m so happy you were able to love that read 🙂 I also agree about relating to Isla. She really struggles to come into herself if that makes sense, and feel comfortable with who she is and her shy nature. I also think that Cress and Thorne are actually one of the most loved couples in the Lunar Chronicles fandom but they aren’t that explored in the series, which is a shame for all those who love them!!
My recent post: https://oliviascatastrophe.com/2018/07/june-wrap-up-2018/
Thank you so much! It took me a while to do the aesthetic for In Search of Us, I totally fell in love with the story and I really wanted to make it special ? Yees, that’s why I can relate to her as I’m not the most confident person on Earth. YEEES! So many fans are loving that couple but it’s more about Scarlet and Cinder’ relationships in the books! Thanks for stopping by ??
I’m not great at aesthetics at all, even if I really ~want~ to do them. D: I loved this post though!! YES CRESS AND THORNE. They’re so cute together, and Thorne’s humor mixed with his sweetness towards Cress.. ♥♥♥ I haven’t read Isla yet, but your aesthetic gives me all the feels!!!
– Aimee @ Aimee, Always
Oh, I’m sure you’re not as bad as you think you are! But yeah it takes a long time to be satisfied with an aesthetic haha ? Yeeees, that’s exactly why they make the perfect couple! I’m so happy it made you want to read Isla. If you’re into cute romance, it’s the perfect story. ?
Wonderful tag !! I so agree for Blair
Yaaay, glad I’m not the only one thinking that Blair deserves WAY more love ? Thanks for stopping by ?
Omggg, I love your aesthetics! <3 <3 And I have so many underrated, amazing books to add to be TBR. Thank you for this wonderful post!
And I love Thorn and Cress too! They're definitely a highlight in the Lunar Chronicles. 😀
Aww, you’re sweet! Thank you so much ?? Yeees, they make such an amazing couple ?
I loveeee Blair !! So happy she’s getting recognized here hahah 😀
YEEEES! She needs more love! ?
What a stunning post! I must do this one! <3
Thank you so much! ? You really should, it this tag was really fun to do ?
Oh your aesthetics are really great!! ??? I have to do this Tag too! Oh and Cress and Thorne were such a good couple, I miss them soo much ?
Thank you so much! ?? Yeees, do it ? I miss them too, I feel like re-reading the whole serie! ?
Your aesthetics are gorgeous Nyx!! ❤️ And I loved your answers! Like Blair, Hermoinie and Cress and Thorne… I’ve only read Scarlet so far but I LOVE Thorne and can’t wait to meet Cress in the next book!
Aww, thank you so much! ?? You’re going to LOVE Cress ? Thanks for stopping by and happy reading ?
I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW I COULD HAVE MISSED THIS!?!?! But I love aesthetics and they are so awesome and aAAAH I am just glad I found this post now.
WERE YOU ASLEEP KAT?! ? Thank you so much, glad you like them! ??
I MUST HAVE BEEN HAHA
Obviously yes for Blair 😀 I am currently watching the season 5 of Gossip Girl and I am loving Blair more and more. I really hated her in the beginning and loved Serena. But now the situation is different. I hate Serena. She is so mean. However Blair has came out as a determined and lovable person 🙂
YEES! I can’t stand Serena, Blair is much more lovable! She’s fierce and I love that ? Thanks for stopping by ?
Most welcome ☺️
