What was your last 5-star romance read? ⭐️ It What was your last 5-star romance read? ⭐️

It was absolutely wonderful to end 2022 with Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez 😍 I don’t like to pick favorites when it comes to my top authors, but this adorable fake dating romance may very well be my favorite book by her! 🙌🏼

I’m a seriously picky romance reader, but Abby’s blend of sweetness and substance never ceases to amaze me and Yours Truly was no exception 🤎 Just like her previous novels, this one made me cry my eyes out as I saw bits and pieces of myself in each of the characters 🥹 It was just SO GOOD, y’all, and you can find the full review on my blog! 🫶🏼

Are you planning to pick up Yours Truly when it comes out in April? 📖 Have you read any of Abby’s other phenomenal romance novels? 🥰

What was the last book you read in one sitting? 🐒

Honestly, it’s not very often that I finish a book in one day - either because I find myself too busy or I just can’t concentrate for such a long period of time 😅

BUT every once in a while, I have a weekend day where I can just fully sink into a story and enjoy it from start to finish without distractions 📖 That’s what I did with BEACH READ last Sunday and it was wonderful 🥰 I read it when it first came out, but this time, I really got to enjoy it in a new way - and I couldn’t put it down! 🙈 

If only I could have more days like that 😂 Have you read Beach Read or anything else by Emily Henry? ☀️

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today is my third bookstaversary, friends! 🤎 I can't begin to express how thankful I am for this wonderful community and how it has impacted my life over the last three years 🥹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As many of you know, I was a full-time fashion blogger for over five years and somewhere along the line, I found that I just didn't love it anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️ I wanted to find somewhere I could truly be myself and spend more time talking about fantasy novels, crisp autumn mornings, a great cup of coffee, and how to achieve the ultimate cozy lifestyle ☕️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I joined bookstagram in 2020, thinking it would just be a fun little hobby to have on the side while I continued my fashionista hustle... and a year later, I rebranded EVERYTHING to The Espresso Edition 🙌🏼 I've made talking about books and coziness my full-time gig and I couldn't be happier about it 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you all for welcoming me to this wild and wonderful corner of the internet 🙈 Cheers to tons more bookish goodness! 📚

This past year, I either began or finished a few spin-off series that I found myself enjoying even more than their predecessors 🙈 The Dreamer Trilogy (the first of which is featured here) BLEW ME AWAY even though I just *sorta-kinda* liked The Raven Cycle 😱 But there I was, sobbing my eyes out at the end of Greywaren 😭 So freaking good! 🙌🏼

Typically I’m all about the OG series (like Shadow and Bone), but every once in a while, there’s a really great spin-off or continuation that I wind up just loving! 🤩 I’m excited to discover even more this year 🗓️

Have you read The Dreamer Trilogy yet? 💭

It was only this past year that I really discovered how much I enjoy graphic novels 💥 I’ve always liked comic books and graphic novels are just an elevated kind of comic book 🤌🏼

Even though I preordered and listened to the audiobook for Demon in the Wood (blame it on my love for Ben Barnes as a narrator), I also got myself a physical copy because it’s just too gorgeous to pass up 😍 Just like the rest of the Grishaverse books, the naked cover is breathtaking with the most perfect silver embossing on deep purple 💜 I could read this one over and over again (and I probably will)! 📖

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!

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

    I’m all for body positivity throughout swimsuit season. It’s like, I *know* that every body is a bikini body but it’s hard to remember that when we’re fed so many forms of media that tell us we’re not good enough.
    That swimsuit you have on is so cute! I really love the color and pattern and the fact that it’s high waisted! I used to subscribe to Adoreme but I may have to renew it because these swimsuits are so cute!

What was your last 5-star romance read? ⭐️ It What was your last 5-star romance read? ⭐️

It was absolutely wonderful to end 2022 with Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez 😍 I don’t like to pick favorites when it comes to my top authors, but this adorable fake dating romance may very well be my favorite book by her! 🙌🏼

I’m a seriously picky romance reader, but Abby’s blend of sweetness and substance never ceases to amaze me and Yours Truly was no exception 🤎 Just like her previous novels, this one made me cry my eyes out as I saw bits and pieces of myself in each of the characters 🥹 It was just SO GOOD, y’all, and you can find the full review on my blog! 🫶🏼

Are you planning to pick up Yours Truly when it comes out in April? 📖 Have you read any of Abby’s other phenomenal romance novels? 🥰

What was the last book you read in one sitting? 🐒

Honestly, it’s not very often that I finish a book in one day - either because I find myself too busy or I just can’t concentrate for such a long period of time 😅

BUT every once in a while, I have a weekend day where I can just fully sink into a story and enjoy it from start to finish without distractions 📖 That’s what I did with BEACH READ last Sunday and it was wonderful 🥰 I read it when it first came out, but this time, I really got to enjoy it in a new way - and I couldn’t put it down! 🙈 

If only I could have more days like that 😂 Have you read Beach Read or anything else by Emily Henry? ☀️

Today is my third bookstaversary, friends! 🤎 I can't begin to express how thankful I am for this wonderful community and how it has impacted my life over the last three years 🥹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As many of you know, I was a full-time fashion blogger for over five years and somewhere along the line, I found that I just didn't love it anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️ I wanted to find somewhere I could truly be myself and spend more time talking about fantasy novels, crisp autumn mornings, a great cup of coffee, and how to achieve the ultimate cozy lifestyle ☕️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I joined bookstagram in 2020, thinking it would just be a fun little hobby to have on the side while I continued my fashionista hustle... and a year later, I rebranded EVERYTHING to The Espresso Edition 🙌🏼 I've made talking about books and coziness my full-time gig and I couldn't be happier about it 😍

There have been quite a few characters I've read about this month who I'd love to sit down and chat with over a hot bev 🥰

However, from my current reads, I would NOT take anyone from Jade Legacy (because you never know who might end up unaliving), I'd definitely take both Kell and Lila from A Darker Shade of Magic, I'm not entirely sure I'd enjoy coffee with Katniss from The Hunger Games (since she's not the most exciting conversationalist), but I'd absolutely love chatting it up with Alina from Shadow and Bone! 🙌🏼

This past year, I either began or finished a few spin-off series that I found myself enjoying even more than their predecessors 🙈 The Dreamer Trilogy (the first of which is featured here) BLEW ME AWAY even though I just *sorta-kinda* liked The Raven Cycle 😱 But there I was, sobbing my eyes out at the end of Greywaren 😭 So freaking good! 🙌🏼

Typically I’m all about the OG series (like Shadow and Bone), but every once in a while, there’s a really great spin-off or continuation that I wind up just loving! 🤩 I’m excited to discover even more this year 🗓️

Have you read The Dreamer Trilogy yet? 💭

It was only this past year that I really discovered how much I enjoy graphic novels 💥 I’ve always liked comic books and graphic novels are just an elevated kind of comic book 🤌🏼

Even though I preordered and listened to the audiobook for Demon in the Wood (blame it on my love for Ben Barnes as a narrator), I also got myself a physical copy because it’s just too gorgeous to pass up 😍 Just like the rest of the Grishaverse books, the naked cover is breathtaking with the most perfect silver embossing on deep purple 💜 I could read this one over and over again (and I probably will)! 📖

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm such a TBR gal, so I love creating lists of books to pick up throughout the year 🙌🏼 I usually plan monthly TBR lists as well, so I try to add 1-3 of the books from my yearly goal to each month 😊️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This year, I've written down 23 books I want to read during 2023 (full blog post on this is published btw) and I'm so excited about them all! 🎉 Most of them are new releases, but a few are backlist titles or books that publishers have sent me that I haven't gotten the chance to read yet 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My most anticipated:
🍉 Happy Place by Emily Henry
🥀 Foxglove (Belladonna 2) by Adalyn Grace
👑 The Brothers Hawthorne (The Inheritance Games 4) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
🧵 Threads of Power by VE Schwab
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you looking forward to any of these? 📚

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm a massive fan of rereading and honestly look forward to going back to my favorite books time and again 🤎 I don't purchase books I haven't read - only ones I've gotten from the library and love enough to read again, so my bookshelves are just filled with rereading options! 🙌🏼 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To kick off the new year, I'm doing primarily rereads in January! 🥂 I'm so thrilled to be buddy-reading A Darker Shade of Magic with one of my close friends throughout the month and just starting it has already got me in my feels 🥹 These were the books that introduced me to VE Schwab's writing and I completely fell in love 🥰 Going back to Red London feels like a giant hug! 🫂

Have you read the Shades of Magic trilogy? 📚 Are you excited about the continuation with Threads of Power? 😱

In 2021, I made a list of my 21 favorite books of the year and then promised myself I’d do something similar for 2022! 🗒️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s taken a lot of scrolling through my StoryGraph stats, reading my reviews, and remembering how I felt each month to determine these picks, but I’m feeling pretty good about them overall 😊️

If I had to choose just one to say was my favorite of the year, it would definitely be Belladonna by Adalyn Grace 🥀 This book gave me everything I wanted and more (and I can’t wait for the sequel) 🙌🏼
