What is your favorite cozy fantasy book? 🌿 It’s b What is your favorite cozy fantasy book? 🌿

It’s been really fun to see how cozy fantasy books have become so popular over the last several years. When done well, reading one of these stories can feel like a comforting hug or sitting down with a cup of something warm and yummy 😌

The Teller of Small Fortunes was a book I read last year and enjoyed very much. I have The Keeper of Magical Things on my TBR for this year 🙌🏼

Some of my very favorite cozy fantasy books are...
🌪️ The Nature of Witches
☕️ Legends & Lattes (series)
🪴 The Spellshop (series)
🐉 The Tea Dragon Society (series)
🧹 The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches AND A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping
 🥖 A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking
🪄 Selcouth (series)
🫖 The Spellbound Sisters (series)
 🗡️ This Will Be (series)
🍄 A Curious Kind of Magic
💀 The Bone Houses AND The Drowned Woods AND The Wild Huntress
🍵 Tomes and Tea (series)

Aaaaand that’s where I’ll cut that list off because otherwise we’ll be here for days 😂 

Have you read any of these books? 📚

In honor of my first day at my new job at my favor In honor of my first day at my new job at my favorite local coffee shop (everyone say “YAY!” 🥳)… would you take the characters from your current read for a cup of coffee? ☕️

💎 I feel like it would be so fascinating to take Brynja, Ballast, and Saga from When the Light Returns to go get coffee. I’d have so many questions about their magic!

🐦‍🔥 I would give anything to take the entire group of characters from Ruin and Rising to get coffee. It would be such a dream to talk to the people from my favorite series!

📖 To sit down and have a chat with Diana and Matthew from The Book of Life over coffee would be incredible. They’re both so intelligent and I think I’d just sit there gaping at them the entire time!

♟️Honestly, I’d be thrilled to have coffee with *anyone* from The Inheritance Games universe. They’re BRILLIANT and I want to pick their brains for hours on end.

Last summer, along with the rest of *absolutely everyone*, I watched KPop Demon Hunters... and fell head over heels in love with every single thing about it 🙈 

It was a chain reaction of epic proportions 💥 I watched it about a week after it premiered because I kept seeing it online. I liked it, watched it again a week later, LOVED it, suggested it to friends who suggested it to their friends, started deep-diving into all of the behind-the-scenes info, wound up listening to the soundtrack so much that my entire Spotify Wrapped was just songs from that album, still somehow manage to talk about it nonstop to everyone I encounter, and I can’t WAIT for the sequel. Let’s just say it kinda became my personality 😂

Along with KPDH, I spent the last year and some change obsessing over One Tree Hill (first time watching it, got to meet some of the cast last summer, have turned Wilmington into my second home, you know... normal obsessed fan things 😉) and Marielle Kraft’s music (SO FREAKING GOOD. Saw her in concert and got to meet her as well and she’s the sweetest human) 🤎

Do we have any obsessions in common? 🤝🏼

Recently, I finished THE SUN AND THE STARMAKER by @timesnewrachel ☀️ While it was quite different from the modern, witchy fantasy books I’ve come to associate with her (otherwise known as some of my favorite books of all time), she has created a signature style of storytelling that made reading *this book* feel like coming home 🥰

I felt it instantly when I sensed her intense love for nature and the earth woven through the story, paired with such atmospheric writing that I regularly forgot I was not *in* the ethereal, whimsical world I was reading about 🌌 I felt it again in the way she writes of longing and love so powerful that there’s no doubt the characters will overcome every obstacle they face together 🤎 I felt it once more when I began to cry over supporting characters that (possibly) weren’t meant to elicit such strong emotions in the first place 🥹

THE SUN AND THE STARMAKER was everything I could possibly hope and dream a fairytale would be. It was beautiful and magical, and left me feeling so filled with joy and hope. It’s an absolute masterpiece 🙌🏼

I gotta be real honest with y’all... I don’t read a ton of vampire books 😅 I was a wolf girly starting in middle school, and that really hasn’t changed much. I do love a good vampire book, but they haven’t always been my favorite supernatural creature 🙈

However, maybe due to the V.E. Schwab magic, I absolutely adored Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil 😍 It was precisely as toxic as she promised it would be, and I ATE IT UP. It was dark, seductive, sometimes bloody, and there was never a dull moment. I genuinely didn’t want it to end.

The Midi Skirt Outfit You’ll Want to Wear Right Away

Midi skirts can seem tricky to style, but this is one summer midi skirt outfit you can copy right now with the pieces you already have in your closet!

Sometimes you pick up a clothing item on a whim, only to get home and think, “now how do I style this? It looked so cute in the store!” I’ve done this many times, and without fail, Pinterest has been my go-to spot to get inspiration.

Not-so subtle plug: are you following my Pinterest page yet? Because if you aren’t, you should click here and get to pinning!

Needless to say, I took to Pinterest to glean inspiration for this very outfit, and come up with the simplest styling I could possibly imagine: a tee and some heels. Girl, I can almost guarantee there’s a white tee and a pair of white shoes in your closet right now. If you’ve got those on hand, you’re set!


Outfit Details
skirt c/o Chicwish | similar tee | similar heels | sunglasses | similar necklace | earrings | bag c/o Amerii

Let’s break down this midi skirt outfit.

One of the things I noticed most while doing my “research” (AKA scrolling through Pinterest) was that 90% of the midi skirt outfits were of gals who just wore their skirt with a simple tee, simple shoes, and dainty gold accessories. Sometimes there was a leather jacket involved. Other times there was a belt or designer bag. But the formula of tee + skirt + shoes seemed pretty foolproof.

I have a slew of midi skirts in my closet, and I love them to death. I can’t say I’ve experimented too much with different pairings, but I will say that this particular combo makes me feel confident and fabulous – and I think it’ll make you feel that way too!
