Hello weirdo. It's the author speaking.

I'm Marie (feel free to call me Mrs. Brekker if you want to though) and I'm rather obsessed with books, morally grey characters, and maps. But mostly morally grey characters.

I write about books, talk about books, and take pictures of books...and I pretend it's normal.

Quite a feat for a teenage bookworm.

It’s world book day!!! (To capitalize or not to capitalize??) Obviously, that means I’m going to honor my favorite author. - AND THE WORLD IS SHOCKED THAT THIS ISN’T A BARDUGO POST! But I’m more proud of Jane Austen than Leigh Bardugo (is this betrayal) and even more proud of the fact that I’ve posted about classics for three days in a row. Look at me. So classy. - 💭 Make me pick between two Austen books/heroes/heroines and watch me squirm. - - - [ #thebibliologist #prideandprejudice #senseandsensibility #janeausten #barnesandnobleclassics #leatherboundbooks #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookish #booklover #booknerd #bookworm #bibliophile #bookblogger #igreads #instabooks #booksofinstagram #vsco #vscocam #photooftheday ]

2ND DAY OF PENGUIN ENGLISH LIBRARY EDITIONS !!!! HAPPY! WE’RE ALL SO HAPPY! - To the human who commented on my post yesterday saying that George Eliot was her favorite author, this is for you. I haven’t read The Mill on the Floss yet, but it sure does look pretty hidden in leafy little bushes. I think I put a paper towel of something under it, so don’t scream. - ALSO! My review for Wolf by Wolf is alive and waiting for you (that’s right, sir! YOU in the nice hat!) to read it. The link is in my bio, so you won’t get lost. - 💭 Have you read Wolf by Wolf? What were your thoughts??? (Haha just kidding, if you read Wolf by Wolf please leave any and all thoughts in the blog post comment section so I actually look like I’m a real blogger DEAR ME.) - - - [ #thebibliologist #themillonthefloss #georgeeliot #penguinclassics #penguinenglishlibrary #classics #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookish #booklover #booknerd #bookworm #bibliophile #bookblogger #igreads #instabooks #booksofinstagram #vsco #vscocam #photooftheday ]

It’s Charlotte Brontë’s birthday today, but that doesn’t mean I can’t post about Thomas Hardy instead. @wishesandpages are you happy now??? - I read Far From the Madding Crowd two years ago, and it probably didn’t help that 1) I saw the movie before I read the book (in my defense I didn’t even know a book existed until I saw the credits roll #rip) and 2) I read most of the book during a power outage caused by a freaky hurricane that did NOT give me any good vibes at all. I gave it 3 stars and I’m sorry. - But I do plan on reading it again this summer...or a different Hardy, because I need to give him another chance at greatness + make peace with the classics loving world. - 💭 Who’s your favorite classics author? - - - [ #thebibliologist #farfromthemaddingcrowd #thomashardy #penguinclassics #penguinenglishlibrary #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookish #booklover #booknerd #bookworm #bibliophile #bookblogger #igreads #instabooks #booksofinstagram #vsco #bookster ]

Frodo-synthesis. That’s what I’m Tolkien about! - WELLWELLWELL. This post is dedicated to Lauren Rancourt, the yard I trespassed, and the 3 people who stared at me while I was taking this picture. - Lauren was the one who really got me into LOTR, and even though I’m still a fan-in-training (meaning I stopped reading in the middle of The Two Towers LE GASP), I’m getting there. I plan on finishing up The Two Towers after I’m done with my Crooked Kingdom reread, and I’m simultaneously excited and scared to go back. FABULOUS WRITING, BUT GOLLUM. INSANE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, BUT MORDOR. HELP. (Frankly I just want the Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and Pippin again. DEAR ME, I HAVE FAVORITES.) - @lalarancourt, thanks for everything, and for these books. LURVE YOU! I have failed your fandom, but I will FIGHT MYSELF. - 💭 What series do you loooove but still inexplicably drop? (Last time I asked this question, most of y’all answered with LOTR, and I expect better from both of us starting now.) - - - [ #thebibliologist #thefellowshipofthering #thelordoftherings #jrrtolkien #middleearth #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookish #bookdragon #bookworm #bibliophile #bookblogger #igreads #instabooks #booksofinstagram #thatsdarling #flowers #spring #bookster ]

It turns out Duke Wellington was actually a real person. My watch just got a whole lot more famous. - Random Facts I Got From Everyone’s Favorite Trusted Source, Wikipedia: Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, (1 May 1769 – 14 September 1852), was an Anglo-Irish soldier and statesman who was one of the leading military and political figures of 19th-century Britain, serving twice as Prime Minister. His defeat of Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 puts him in the first rank of Britain's military heroes. - Way to go, Duke. Great watch and a great guy. - 🏷 You can still (yes, still—DW + I love y’all lazy freaks too much) get 15% off your own @danielwellington watch! Just use code “VIOR” at checkout and pray everything works. - 💭 What’s your favorite weird history fact? (@atelierofbooks all I can think of now is your Beethoven battle THANKS SO MUCH). If you’d like to tell me your favorite read of 2018 instead, that’s ok too. - LAST THING: thank y’all so much for your comforting Crime and Punishment verdicts yesterday! I’m way more motivated now. - - - [ #thebibliologist #danielwellington #ad #marieviorpresents #watches #dwtimepeice #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookish #booklover #booknerd #bookworm #bibliophile #bookblogger #igreads #instabooks #booksofinstagram #vsco #vscocam #photooftheday ]

I can’t pronounce this dude’s last name but his books sure look amazing. - OK. I fell back into the YA Abyss™ and haven’t read a single classic after all my “classics are the greatest and I’m going to read them!! Yes!! READ THEM ALL!” talk and hooray I’m officially a hypocrite. I still want to read this one, though, and I WILL. I just need clapping and encouragement and lots of help and treats. Like cake. Cake would help. - 💭 Which book do you want to read that you somehow never??? get?? to??? - - - [ #thebibliologist #crimeandpunishment #classics #classiclit #literature #classicbooks #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookish #booklover #booknerd #bookworm #bibliophile #bookblogger #igreads ]

When your next read chooses itself because it's a NARCISSISTIC BUNCH OF SLIMY DEAD TREE - I’m starting to get back into the blog thing (2 posts in the last month, I think??? LOL THIS IS MY PROGRESS, HELP) and even though I’m probably just screaming through an endless black abyss, it’s STILL FUN. Jk if you’d like to leave a comment so I know a human being was actually there, I’d be very happy. - Also: should I pick Empire of Storms up again??? Or no??? #RealLifeAdvice - - - [ #thebibliologist #penguinclassics #penguinclothbounds #classicbooks #literature #classicliterature #prettybooks #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookish #booklover #booknerd #bookworm #bibliophile #bookblogger #igreads #booksofinstagram ]

This cover has me blinded. It’s gorgeous but it’s also terribly confusing. Which side is the front??? Which side is the back??? SO MUCH DOUBT. - I’m having a feed-and-creativity crisis and it’s HORRIBLE. Maybe part of it is that I don’t have any props beside dead leaves....? My pictures would be more maximalistic if I was less broke. Heh. But for now: leaves. I’m sorry, I hate it too. - 💭 What are your favorite props + what camera/lens do you use for your photos? Spill your secrets. - - - [ #thebibliologist #everythingisilluminated #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookish #booklover #booknerd #bookworm #bibliophile #bookblogger #igreads #instabooks #booksofinstagram #vsco #bookcovers #coverlove #illustration #type ]
