The Love-a-Thon is an event dedicated to spreading positivity and love. It’s time dedicated to visiting other bloggers/Instagrammers/BookTubers, leaving a comment or two, making new friends and fostering positivity among the members of our amazing community. As in the previous years, the event will include mini challenges, Twitter chats and giveaways galore!
Hosted by: Alexa of Alexa Loves Books, Cee of The Novel Hermit, Hazel of Stay Bookish, Mel of The Daily Prophecy
*posts love-a-thon recap three days later than intended because xan loves to procrastinate* HELLO ALL. love-a-thon this past weekend was so much fun! (if you missed the last two posts, you can find them here and here!) i was only able to participate in one twitter chat and two challenges, and not go blog hopping/commenting at all, unfortunately… BUT i was busy interacting with everyone on the ~bookstagrams~ since i was one of the ambassadors. i’ve recently been feeling a strange bookish photography slump and the love-a-thon prompts helped me squeeze out some creative juices. here’s what i shared this weekend (and didn’t get to share, but will throughout the week!)
i could go all night // a book that kept you up past your bedtime
once upon a time // favorite fairy tale retelling
cover love // a book with a cover you love or that made you fall in love with the cover
lunch read // a book that gave you the munchies
recommendation // a standalone book that you’d recommend to readers
deserted island // three books you’d take with you to a deserted island
where in the world // show us a book with a place you’d like to visit
fandoms rule // what’s your favorite fandom?
what’s your favorite color?
let me take a shelfie
series recommendation // a series you’d recommend to readers
these photos were super fun to take, albeit time-consuming. (it took me 1.5 to 2 hours to take these!!) my favorite is probably the shelfie because i actually took a polaroid of myself using self-timer mode on my instax mini 90! this blurry scanned version really doesn’t do the picture justice. buuuuuut that’s also what i like about instaxes/polaroids; you need to see it in real life to fully appreciate its value.
can I just say YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY IS BEAUTIFUL teach me your ways!!!! I want to know EVERYTHING you know!!!!
OH my goodness! These pictures are so gorgeous! I love the lighting!
These all sound like great choices, I’ve been meaning to read the Legends trilogy for ages, Passenger also sounds awesome (can’t wait to get stuck into that one :D). Great pictures, keep up the good work 🙂
Simon VS. I was distracted, Xanny. HAHAHA! Anyway, your photography is gorgeous. I think my favorite is the TMI and TID ones…The runes… oh my god. I am just a sucker for those. Unfortunately, I stopped liking TMI :/
Your photos are AMAZING!!!
You were such a brilliant ambassador for the Love-a-Thon! Thank you SO much for being a part of everything. Your photos were absolutely lovely as well, and I really enjoyed seeing how you interpreted all the prompts! Hope you’re joining in again next year <3
Your photos are always gorgeous! I didn’t get to participate in the love-a-thon this year but I really want to join next year!
I love your photos so much, Xan! I wish that I could have participated in the bookstagram portion of Love-A-Thon but my life is basically a mess right now. My favorite parts were the mini-challenges and twitter chats. It was a blast. I can’t wait for next year’s event!
It looks like you had so much fun taking the photos Alex, loved the post! I love all your pastel colours and the balance of white as well.Your favourite fandom one looks so cool!
I LOVE the effort you put into all these photos! Especially the one for favourite fandom – you drew so many runes on yourself! Superb job – I love your photos! 😀
