What's the next backlist book on your TBR? 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm a huge fan of reading backlist books and this year, that has primarily come in the form of rereading my favorites 🫶🏼 I've finished my rereads of the Shades of Magic, Shadow and Bone, and The Hunger Games series - and I'm continuing my rereads of Six of Crows, Renegades, Strange the Dreamer, and All the Stars and Teeth 🙀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Next up on my backlist TBR:
 ☕️ Legends & Lattes (FINALLY - been waiting for this library hold for what feels like a thousand years)
♾️ Stealing Infinity (I received a copy of this from Entangled but it's been sitting on my shelf far too long.. it's time to dive in)
🐍 The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (after my THG reread, I'm ready to jump into this to prep for the upcoming film)
🎤 On the Come Up (I started craving more Angie Thomas after Concrete Rose so this was the natural next step)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read any of these? 👆🏼

For me, it was WE ARE ALL SO GOOD AT SMILING by @ambsmcbride 📖 I read this in one sitting and cried crocodile tears through 80% of it 🐊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This book - whew - it's heavy and haunting and simultaneously so beautiful and hopeful ✨ I've truly never read anything quite like it and I know I'll want to revisit it time and again, especially when I find myself struggling with the negative voices in my head 🤎 (Please note the content warnings before beginning your journey into this incredible story)

Recommend your favorite mysteries! 🔎 My mom ca Recommend your favorite mysteries! 🔎

My mom can confirm that when I was younger, I was constantly gobbling up mystery books 📖 As I got older, I found that so many books labeled as “mysteries” for YA and adults were more like thrillers - focusing on suspense and fear, rather than sleuthing (not my jam) 🙈

Now, I’m realizing that I must have just been looking in the wrong places for good mysteries, because they’re definitely out there 🙌🏼 I absolutely devoured The London Séance Society - enjoying the way it blended historical mystery, a healthy dose of suspense, and wild fantastical elements into just over 350 pages 🔮

Have you read this one yet? 🕯️

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.

    I am a big fan of Modus Hotels. I have stayed in a few of them. Have to do one in Avenue Suites next! Looks like you had a wonderful time.

      I’m a big fan of Modus Hotels too, now that I’ve gotten the chance to stay here. I’ve heard of a couple more of their locations, and they’re on my “to-visit” list hehe. Do you have a favorite one?

      I really, truly hope you get the opportunity to visit Avenue Suites at some point. You’d LOVE the modern atmosphere the delicious food at their restaurant!! And YES. The Stock the Fridge program is incredible! Such a blessing – especially for a longer stay or a bigger family, or even if you’re just feeling extra hungry hehe.

      That program was an excellent addition. I’d never heard of any hotel offering something like that, and we certainly took advantage (some late night snacks in bed after drinks at the restaurant? Yes please)!!

      Cozy is for sure – but spacious too, which is a winning combination, if you ask me! We loved the option to order our food, and when we came back from exploring Georgetown, there was a full fridge waiting for us. It was awesome!

What's the next backlist book on your TBR? 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm a huge fan of reading backlist books and this year, that has primarily come in the form of rereading my favorites 🫶🏼 I've finished my rereads of the Shades of Magic, Shadow and Bone, and The Hunger Games series - and I'm continuing my rereads of Six of Crows, Renegades, Strange the Dreamer, and All the Stars and Teeth 🙀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Next up on my backlist TBR:
 ☕️ Legends & Lattes (FINALLY - been waiting for this library hold for what feels like a thousand years)
♾️ Stealing Infinity (I received a copy of this from Entangled but it's been sitting on my shelf far too long.. it's time to dive in)
🐍 The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (after my THG reread, I'm ready to jump into this to prep for the upcoming film)
🎤 On the Come Up (I started craving more Angie Thomas after Concrete Rose so this was the natural next step)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read any of these? 👆🏼

Recommend your favorite mysteries! 🔎 My mom ca Recommend your favorite mysteries! 🔎

My mom can confirm that when I was younger, I was constantly gobbling up mystery books 📖 As I got older, I found that so many books labeled as “mysteries” for YA and adults were more like thrillers - focusing on suspense and fear, rather than sleuthing (not my jam) 🙈

Now, I’m realizing that I must have just been looking in the wrong places for good mysteries, because they’re definitely out there 🙌🏼 I absolutely devoured The London Séance Society - enjoying the way it blended historical mystery, a healthy dose of suspense, and wild fantastical elements into just over 350 pages 🔮

Have you read this one yet? 🕯️

How do YOU cure a book hangover? 🥴 ⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do YOU cure a book hangover? 🥴
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ever since I finished my reread of the Shadow and Bone trilogy, I've found it so hard to get into anything else and all I want to do is just drop my entire TBR and continue rereading the rest of the Grishaverse 🫶🏼 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Y'all, the S&B obsession is so real (again) for me right now and I don't know if tomorrow's premiere will help soothe me or make things even worse 🙈 Oh, who am I kidding? 😅 It’s gonna make me a thousand times more insufferable 🤷🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've never been in a reading slump and I've only had a book hangover a couple of times, so I'm thinking that continuing with comfort reads of the same world/genre is going to be the most beneficial 📚 Off to open up Six of Crows next 🖤

GOSH, I could not be more excited for season 2 of the show to premiere on Thursday (I even rebooked a dentist appointment for this - and gave myself the day off work 🙈) And I think I’m somehow even more excited since Daisy Head gave me a shoutout on the Netflix IG page and Ben Barnes replied to my Q&A comment on Reddit 😱 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You all know Genya would be the first on my guest list, but of course, I'd also want to invite Alina, Jesper & Wylan, Tamar, and probably Inej as well 🙌🏼 And yes, yes, I'd love The Darkling to be there (if he can... behave himself? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Or maybe even if he can’t 😏)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're looking for all the Grishaverse goodness, peep my blog for everything from merch (like my Sun Saint candle from @janzywaxco ☀️) to themed drinks (the Jurda Parem is my favorite 🍹) to a full dissection of The Darkling's character 🖤 And make sure to let me know what you're most excited for this season! 🫶🏼
