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 🙌🏼

Have you read this or any of Rachel’s other books? 📚

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.

Have you read this one yet? 📖

Ya girl is the self-proclaimed biggest fan of the library to ever walk the earth 🌍 Okay, that could be an exaggeration, but most of the time it doesn’t feel like one. I cried with happiness over my first library card as a kid, and I won’t purchase a book until I’ve borrowed it from the library and loved it enough to own it. I have 5 library cards, swear by Libby and Hoopla for all of my audiobooks and ebooks, and at this point, I feel like an Arthur tattoo might be necessary (IYKYK) 😂

Layering for the Lazy Girl

Thought you knew everything there was to know about fall layering? This lazy girl fashion hack will be just what you need for those early mornings!

Have you ever opened your eyes on a crisp autumn day and realized you snoozed your alarm a few too many times, leaving you with fleeting minutes to get out the door? No? Oh, then, me either! Actually – that would be a lie, because I’ve definitely done this to myself on more than one occasion. Typically, I’m an incredibly timely person, but there are days where my bed is just too cozy! In those moments, I turn to my ultimate fall layering hack: the faux-layered top!

Layering is easy enough, if your tank top wasn’t left crumpled on the floor last night and your sweater isn’t in the dirty pile. Fear not! Instead of scrambling to smooth out wrinkles and mist perfume to mask the stinky sock smell that’s attached itself to your worn clothing, reach for a layered-look sweater and waltz out the door! You’ll look 100% put-together while putting in 0% effort.

Outfit Details
top c/o Macy’s | pants c/o Macy’s | booties | earrings c/o Sugarfix | similar necklace | similar bag

This sweater is the ultimate lazy girl hack to fall layering!

Rather than purchasing multiple pieces, just grab a faux-layered top and you’ll always be prepared to throw together a stellar outfit – even in a rush. However, there are a couple of key elements to keep in mind if you want to uplevel your layering skills:

Always, always have a denim jacket on hand. Denim on denim is no longer frowned upon, so rock that Canadian tuxedo!
Scarves are multi-purpose. Sure, you can wear them traditionally around your neck, but you can also drape them across your shoulders, belt them to create a vest, or tie them like a poncho.
One word: cardigans. I can’t stress enough the importance of owning cardigans. They work over everything from tank tops to sweater-dresses, with boots or with sneakers, and they can easily be dressed up or down.

When the cold weather arrives, you may be itching for all these layers at once!

These fall layering tips will definitely be cutting my morning routine in half. What about you?
