Book
Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Book 1)
By Laini Taylor
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Reread

Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky.

In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low.

And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherwordly war.

Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages--not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out.

When one of the strangers--beautiful, haunted Akiva--fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?

When you start a book and realise you have already read it but continue because it was so good! Well this was better the second time round. All the emotions came flooding back and I love that a book can have that effect on you. Rereading Karou and Akivas story was just as enjoyable as the first time the world building and story is just beautiful. I really like this authors style.

Great features, with more added regularly (2 more)
Instagram community is awesome
Cool filters and editing functions
Text field can be wonky at times (0 more)
This is my favourite social media platform! I love sharing (mostly) nature photos with my followers. I love the photo editing tools, and the filters (though I don't use those as often).

Considering a huge bulk of my followers are internet strangers, the community is generally friendly and supportive. I love Instagram to microblog; it is so easy to engage with followers.

One issue I've been having is that the text field is hit or miss on my posts; when I try to space out my descriptions sometimes it just throws everything close together as if I didn't hit enter.
