Close your eyes Think about holding a book in you Close your eyes  Think about holding a book in your hands. Feel the pages and the spine. Visualize the cover. Now tell me, what book did you see? 👀 Was it one you recommend? 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The first book that popped into my head when I did this exercise was The Charm Offensive! 🫶🏼 This was a combination of me wanting to reread this adorable book that became an instant fave of mine last year 📖 thinking about how often I've seen it recommended lately for #PrideMonth (yay!) 🏳️‍🌈 and all the pondering I've been doing lately about the fact that I hate reality TV shows but for some reason, love reading books about reality TV shows 😂

Have you read The Charm Offensive or is it on your TBR? 🎥

What was the last book you purchased for yourself What was the last book you purchased for yourself or got from the library? 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've said it before and I'll say it a million more times (😅): I don't purchase books unless I've read them first (my few exceptions being sequels for series I love or auto-buy authors) 🤷🏻‍♀️ Needless to say, I'm pretty picky about which books I DO spend my money on 💳
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I recently did a bit of a haul from Book Outlet during their mega fiction sale and here's what I snagged:
☕️ Legends & Lattes
🕰️ In Five Years
🌲 Lost in the Never Woods
🥀 Girl, Serpent, Thorn
🎤 XOXO
🥧 Crumbs
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read any of these or are any of them on your TBR? 📚

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was SO thrilled when I saw @kristinaforest's announcement for The Partner Plot, an adult romance that follows Violet (the older sister of Lily from The Neighbor Favor) and her high school sweetheart 🩷 It's coming out in the spring of 2024 and I'm already counting down the days until it's in my hands 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you haven't read The Neighbor Favor yet, what are you waiting for? 😉 It's absolutely ADORABLE and I was so thrilled to get a copy of it in one of my @litlovebox packages - along with some delicious chocolates and coffee, of course ☕️ Use the code STEPH5 for a discount on your very own box (good til the end of May!) 🎁

A few years ago, I devoured The Daevabad Trilogy and completely fell in love with the absolutely magnificent world-building 😍

Some of my favorite completed adult fantasy series:

🧛🏻‍♂️ All Souls (A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, The Book of Life)

Over 50 Swimsuits For Every Body Type

Why should swimsuit season be dreaded? It should be celebrated!

The steps to getting a bikini body, you may ask?

ONE. Have a body

TWO. Put a bikini on it

Truly, it should be that simple. I understand why it isn’t, however. Over the years, media and the world have trained a woman’s mind to think that she’s less beautiful with cellulite, stretch marks, jiggly tummies, small boobs, flat butts, etc. To this day, I still have a hard time accepting myself in swimwear.  Brands that I adore (Aerie, Target, Adore Me – to name a few) have begun to share women of all sizes, colors, and shapes, without editing in their swimwear campaigns. It brings my heart so much joy when I recognize someone of a similar body shape, rocking a cute ‘kini. It makes me realize that I can rock one too. It’s about making a conscious choice to believe in your own bangin’ bod (no matter how many dimples or lack of curves it may have) and just enjoy the summer sun.

A couple of years ago I pledged to never retouch any of my swimsuit photos on Instagram or my blog. I’ve held true to that promise and will continue to do so through the rest of my blogging career.  I’m a small, curve-less lady with cellulite and stretch marks to boot, but I’ll never make myself look like anything else to fit the “Instagram model” mold. I will, however, find swimsuits that flatter myself and every body type!


Outfit Details
“Cadence” swimsuit c/o Adore Me | sunglasses | similar bag | phone case c/o Nunuco Design | similar necklace

Take a look at this fantastic line-up of swimsuits from Adore Me.

This cream, high-waisted crochet bikini (called the Lionna) is a best seller, and one I picked up last year. It was also the first one I put in my suitcase for my trip to Florida – and the only one I ended up wearing. It’s the most flattering swimsuit I’ve ever owned!

I think everyone needs a little black bikini, so that’s why I added this one (Gardenia) to my collection last year. I bought it at the end of the summer, so I’m looking forward to wearing it again this year.

I’m super particular about my bikini bottoms, so when I found out this set (Leilah) offered a pair with a little more coverage, I jumped for joy! Also, the print couldn’t be much cuter!

On to the pieces I picked up particularly for this summer! I sure do love a feminine floral, so this set (called the Cadence) was perfect to rock on the days I’m feeling especially girly.

Baywatch much? I’ll be honest, I’m still on the fence about this one (Haven). It’s classic but fits a bit oddly for my long-torso build. I don’t hate it, but it’s probably not one I’ll wear all the time.

Just casually transferring my crochet crush into this season. With a tan I think the color of this itty bitty bikini (called the Kalua) would be especially spectacular!

I have the same style in another print and completely adore it! For years, I couldn’t find a one piece that fit my long torso and didn’t give me the worst wedgie of all time.  However, this one (Soila) totally rocks my socks off!

This one (called the Emillia) is such a classic, retro style that I may end up getting it in the other prints. You just can’t go wrong with a high-waisted bikini!

I spent way too much time looking at these suits haha. I am a swimsuit fanatic because I spend all day every day in summer in bikinis. This year I bought a couple of one piece swimsuits but I know I’ll want more because I got a family membership to the local outdoor pool in my borough so I’ll definitely be there every day and bikinis might not be the best option at a family pool! I thrive in the sun and really do NOT thrive in winter so as much sun on my body as I can get in the warmer months is key! (especially here in Montreal)

I’ve had frustrations buying bathing suits in the past, mostly because I’m bigger up top and it can be difficult to find cute bikinis that actually give support too. One thing I found is companies that sell their bikini tops by actual bra size rather than S/M/L makes a big difference!

I love how many different styles of swimsuits they are these days! When I was younger I swear all that existed were too-revealing bikinis (which is great for those who want to wear them, but I did NOT feel comfortable wearing!), or ugly one pieces, but now there are so many beautiful designs in lots of different shapes! I’m really glad the fashion industry is widening its selection so that more people can feel included and comfortable in the things they wear.

I love these picks soooo much! I just got my first aerie one-piece and I’m OBSESSED. It’s buttery soft and fits so well. I also never knew I’d like high-waisted bikinis until I tried one and I’m in love. Definitely going to stock up on a few more swimsuits because of this post haha

What was the last book you purchased for yourself What was the last book you purchased for yourself or got from the library? 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've said it before and I'll say it a million more times (😅): I don't purchase books unless I've read them first (my few exceptions being sequels for series I love or auto-buy authors) 🤷🏻‍♀️ Needless to say, I'm pretty picky about which books I DO spend my money on 💳
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I recently did a bit of a haul from Book Outlet during their mega fiction sale and here's what I snagged:
☕️ Legends & Lattes
🕰️ In Five Years
🌲 Lost in the Never Woods
🥀 Girl, Serpent, Thorn
🎤 XOXO
🥧 Crumbs
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read any of these or are any of them on your TBR? 📚

What was the last sequel/companion novel announcem What was the last sequel/companion novel announcement that got you really excited? 🤩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was SO thrilled when I saw @kristinaforest's announcement for The Partner Plot, an adult romance that follows Violet (the older sister of Lily from The Neighbor Favor) and her high school sweetheart 🩷 It's coming out in the spring of 2024 and I'm already counting down the days until it's in my hands 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you haven't read The Neighbor Favor yet, what are you waiting for? 😉 It's absolutely ADORABLE and I was so thrilled to get a copy of it in one of my @litlovebox packages - along with some delicious chocolates and coffee, of course ☕️ Use the code STEPH5 for a discount on your very own box (good til the end of May!) 🎁

What are your favorite adult fantasy series? ⚔️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A few years ago, I devoured The Daevabad Trilogy and completely fell in love with the absolutely magnificent world-building 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adult fantasy can be tricky if you're used to the pacing in YA fantasy, but after some time, you might find that you really enjoy the way that the story develops 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some of my favorite completed adult fantasy series:
💚 The Green Bone Saga (Jade City, Jade War, Jade Legacy)
🧛🏻‍♂️ All Souls (A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, The Book of Life)
🐺 The Wilderwood (For the Wolf, For the Throne)
⏳ Shades of Magic (A Darker Shade of Magic, A Gathering of Shadows, A Conjuring of Light)

What's one book you'd recommend to someone just di What's one book you'd recommend to someone just diving into fiction for the first time? 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've asked this in the past, but I'm curious how the answers might change since so many books have come out in the last several years that I think would fit this perfectly 👌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't have many IRL friends who enjoy reading, but I have been lucky enough to recommend books to fiction newbies in the past and I usually start with The Midnight Library! 📚 I think it's a book everyone should read (but that's because it saved my life, so it's very special to me) and I especially recommend it during May, Mental Health Awareness Month! 💚
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
‼️ I’m taking the next week away from social media/blogging for my own mental health. I’ll probably be lurking some but please note that I won’t be updating much of anything til after the 15th 🫶🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read The Midnight Library yet? ☕️

Did you love any of your April reads so much that Did you love any of your April reads so much that you wanted to immediately turn around and read them again? 🤎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I certainly felt that about a few of the books I read this past month, but especially:
🫖 The Tea Dragon Society - this entire MG graphic novel trilogy just warmed my heart so much. It's precious and wonderful and if you haven't read it, please do because you won't be able to wipe the smile off your face.
🔍 Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers - within the first couple of chapters, I was belly-laughing so hard I was crying. This was hilarious and adorable and I didn't want it to end. I immediately began recommending it to everyone. 
⛱️ Happy Place - because of course! I mean, this book did make me sob my eyes out multiple times, but it also made me belly laugh more than once as well. It was perfect in every way and very quickly became my second fave of Emily's books (just after PWMOV)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank goodness I'm a big fan of rereading because I know I'll be revisiting all of these books again in the future 🙌🏼
