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) 😂

But I digress... February is National Library Lovers’ Month, and I think you should get a library card (or 5) and celebrate not only the perk of FREE BOOKS but also the countless ways public libraries are integral to our lives and communities! 🙌🏼

What was the last library book you checked out? 📖

Since then, I have recommended it to countless people, and have felt intense amounts of joy as I’ve seen those people recommend it to others, buy copies for friends, suggest it for their book clubs, and come back to me to tell me how it changed their life just like it changed mine 🥰

Which book would you say changed your life for the better? 🤎

A Full Review of Avenue Suites Georgetown

This post is in partnership with Avenue Suites and Modus Hotels and I was gifted a complimentary stay in their Avenue Executive Room + Private Terrace. This in no way alters my thoughts of the hotel and as always, all opinions stated are my own. Thank you for supporting the companies that support The Espresso Edition.

Avenue Suites made it easy to decide where I wanted to escape with my husband for his birthday. Their location in the heart of Georgetown was the perfect place for a romantic getaway.

Since Brandon was the primary reason for our stay, I decided to get his input on our trip and share a little bit about why we enjoyed Avenue Suites from his point of view. The first thing he mentioned was the staff and how incredible they were. From the cheerful front desk crew, to the valet attendant, to the bartender at the restaurant, and even the employee who called our room late in the evening to ensure we were comfortable. Everyone was incredibly accommodating and helpful from the moment we drove up until the time of check-out.

The next thing he noticed was the decor. From the bright lobby with high ceilings and a cozy sitting area filled with fun coffee table books to the photographs of celebrities from all eras on the walls. We noticed captures of George Clooney, Elizabeth Taylor, Cate Blanchett, and more! It was a modern interior that was still comfortable and inviting. The best part was how open everything felt – like there was space for everyone who came through the doors.

I’ve stayed at my fair share of hotels. However, I’ve never stayed in a hotel that I enjoyed so much, I didn’t want to leave the room. That’s what happened when we visited Avenue Suites! After a couple hours of exploring Georgetown and all the shops, we walked back to our room just for the sake of relaxing on their comfy bed, indulging in some snacks*, and watching TV.

There are some incredible features to experience when you visit Avenue Suites.

One of the benefits of staying at a Modus Hotels property is their Modus Signatures. These include things like allowing pets to stay free, setting you up with complimentary fitness classes, and a program called “Stock the Fridge” (A.K.A. one of our favorite parts). *Stock the Fridge is a customized grocery program, where you choose your favorite items from Trader Joe’s, and one of the staff members goes shopping for you and quite literally stocks your mini fridge with goodies! So when we came back to our suite, there were brownies and ice cream, a cheese plate, breakfast burritos, and more awaiting us!

I would be remiss if I didn’t make mention of the private terrace adjacent to our spacious suite. Take a walk through the living room area and open the French doors to enter the magical outdoor patio, ensconced by tall, manicured hedges and decorated with colorful rugs, several comfy sitting spaces, and a table practically made for late-night picnics. We had every intention of setting up my laptop outside to watch a movie later after dinner, but the bed was far too comfy!

Speaking of dinner: our experience at the in-house restaurant, La Piazza, was hands down the best part of our stay at Avenue Suites. My husband and I are in complete agreement over this. We started with wine, gobbled up one of the most delicious pizzas of our life (fennel sausage and pepperoni), and somehow even made room for their Campobasso sandwich (we’re talking mortadella, prosciutto, muffuletta, and more). In the morning, Brandon immediately got up and grabbed cappuccinos for us, and I spent an hour or so savoring the delicious beverage.

Truthfully, I could keep going about how incredible our stay was at Avenue Suites, but really I just want to prod you to book a visit to experience the magic for yourself. In fact, they’ve been kind enough to provide a discount code for my readers, and if you book through my link (just click on anywhere in this post that reads “Avenue Suites“) you’ll receive 15% off your stay.

Which books made it to your favorites list in 2025 Which books made it to your favorites list in 2025? 📖

The whole time I was away from this space, I kept having these moments of, “gosh, I wish I was active on booksta right now, if only to rave about the book that I’m currently reading!” 🙈

WHILE THE DARK REMAINS was definitely one of those books 🙌🏼 This story left me utterly speechless in the best way. I can’t wait to read the upcoming sequel. 

Do you have any sequels that you’re anticipating in 2026? 📚

How many times have you read your favorite book or How many times have you read your favorite book or series? 🤎

I’m a big fan of rereading, so my favorite books are picked up over and over again. I’ve read some of my favorites every single year for the last six years and some I’ve read countless times since childhood (here’s lookin at you, Narnia) 🙈

I love when I find a new book to add to my reread list. What was the last one you added? 🔁

Are there any book small towns you’d like to live Are there any book small towns you’d like to live in? 📍

I think I’d sell a kidney to live in Inglewild 😂 Small towns give me such happiness and this one seems especially cozy and filled with so many entertaining people 🙈

I kinda wish this series would last forever, but simultaneously, I just live for ANYTHING BK Borison writes 😍 I adored First Time Caller as well and can’t wait for more of that story to unfold! 📖

Have you read any of this author’s books? 🤎
