⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm currently reading two books that are closely related with things (outside of reading) that I love: the NBA and Marvel 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Shot Clock by @justinwritesya and Caron Butler (ARC) is a middle-grade novel all about heart, hope, and of course lots of great basketball 🏀 This has been the perfect book to read while I watch the NBA conference finals ⛹🏾
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We Were Dreamers: An Immigrant Superhero Origin Story by @simuliu has been absolutely phenomenal 😍 I've been a huge fan of Simu for quite some time and learning more about his family, his life, and how he became Shang-Chi has been really incredible 💥 Plus, he narrates the audiobook 🎧
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's really great to discover books that relate to my other interests because it just makes me feel so comforted and happy! 🤍 Now I need more books about superheroes and basketball 😉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are either of these books on your TBR? 📚

I lost my cool (in the best way) when @what_eats_owls announced the release date for Painted Devils, the gorgeous sequel to Little Thieves! 🥀 It's going to be torturous waiting a whole year, but I know it'll also be totally worth it! 🙌🏼

I also can't count the number of times I've watched the trailer for First Kill - the upcoming Netflix show based on @veschwab's short story in Vampires Never Get Old: Tales with Fresh Bite 🧛🏼‍♀️ It's been quite some time since I was this excited for a vampire show 🩸

And in YA romance news, I'm geeking out over the cover and title reveal for @dilemmalord's next book! 🤍 It sounds like it'll be the perfect way to kick off 2023 (yes, yes I am thinking that far ahead and pondering which Taylor Swift song to pair with the release) 🙈

Do you DNF books? 🙅🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This has been such a controversial topic for so long and I've personally struggled with it A LOT 🙈 For years, I refused to quit reading a book unless the subject matter was too triggering or frightening for me to handle 🫣 I would even go so far as to read entire series that I literally didn't like, just to see if the books got any better and changed my mind 🧠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
HOWEVER... this recently changed for me! 🙀 This month, I chose to put down four books that weren't serving me - and it was so insanely freeing! 🍾 I felt like a weight was lifted off me, not forcing myself to read things I wasn't into - and while I still might give some books the benefit of the doubt and finish them (some of my favorite books of all time started off with me feeling very so-so about them)... I will no longer be struggling my way through series I'm not enjoying or novels that make me feel uneasy 🙌🏼

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The last few books I read that 100% lived up to the hype were:
🐐 Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez (this book made me feel so seen it was unreal. I wept several times)
🪷 Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer (I was so thrilled with how much I enjoyed this fantasy)
💄 The No-Show by Beth O'Leary (this author is usually a winner for me and her latest release didn't disappoint)
🏛 The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake (I was unsure for the first 3rd of the book but it wound up being a 5-star read by the end!)

Black Walnut Coffee Cake Recipe

 Forget what you think you know about dry, crumbly coffee cake. I’m about to blow your mind with this black walnut coffee cake recipe.

Throughout my entire life, if our family went on vacation, my mom made two things: what she calls her “travel brownies” – and this decadent black walnut coffee cake. It’s a family favorite and I’m so excited to share it with you! Now, if you’ve never had black walnut extract before, you’re in for a serious treat. It’s a tough ingredient to find in-store, but my sister discovered an awesome online option that will last for years (especially if you’re only using it for special occasion foods such as this). Sure, you can make this recipe without the black walnut extract, but I will say that it makes a big difference in the flavor! To have the ultimate experience, you’ll want that sweet and smoky key ingredient.

When my husband and I met, I realized for the first time that a lot of people associate coffee cake with being very dry and crumbly. That is not the case with this one! It could be the copious amounts of butter (this is definitely not a healthy treat, by any means) but let me tell you, it is dense and moist and utterly divine. It’s about the only coffee cake that he will eat – and when I made it for this particular blog post, he helped himself to two pieces right out of the oven!

This treat can be enjoyed for breakfast or dessert!

Once you’ve poured yourself a steaming hot cup of coffee (or spiced mocha), slice a piece of the coffee cake and take a moment to yourself to just indulge in the rich sweetness and appreciate life a little bit more.

Black Walnut Coffee Cake

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Topping

  • 4 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup walnuts finely chopped

Drizzle

  • ½ cup butter melted

Glaze

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Grease a 9×13 pan
  • In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar
  • Add three eggs (one at a time) mixing after each
  • Add both of the extracts and mix thoroughly
  • In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt
  • To the egg/sugar mixture, alternately add the cup of milk and the flour mixture

    This looks better than any other coffee cake I’ve had! I’ll have to see where I can find black walnut extract and then I’m going to make. I think it’ll be yummy to have over Easter weekend.

    We are taking a mini trip for spring break to do some hiking. I was just saying that I should bake some muffins to bring with us for an easy breakfast before we head out for a day on the trails, buuuttt…I think I should make this coffee cake instead! That texture looks so decadent!

    I love walnut coffee cake but I haven’t had it in years. This recipe makes me reminisce of warm cups of tea with grandma watching reruns of 70s TV

    I could probably eat coffee cake every day of my life and be okay with it, especially when there are such fun varieties out there like this one! I haven’t really used black walnut, but the ingredient always feels like a very Appalachia thing to me. I’ve been exploring that region’s cooking a bit more lately, so I would love to try working with it!

    You must know that this is not only MY coffee cake recipe but it was my mom’s recipe and my grandmother’s recipe. Therefore it’s your great-grandmothers recipe!! It’s sooooo good!!
    Black walnut extract is hard to find these days but it makes the cake for sure. You can still get it online if you can’t find it in stores.
    I recall the smell of this cake filling the house when I was a little girl, just as you do. Isn’t this amazing!!

    Coffee cake isn’t usually cup of tea (lol!) for that same reason – it’s typically dry. But THIS looks SO good! And I bet it smells amazing. I think I’m going to have to give this one a try 😉

    I am going to search for black walnut extract on Amazon because this looks sooooo lush – I can’t believe this is a coffee cake! I generally do not enjoy coffee cake but this one sounds too good to pass, so will make it as soon as I can get my paws on the extract x

    This sounds so delicious! I haven’t had coffee cake since I started college and now I’m totally craving it. Over the summer I went on vacation to Michigan and had coffee cake nearly everyday, now I’m missing it so much!

I'm currently reading two books that are closely related with things (outside of reading) that I love: the NBA and Marvel 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Shot Clock by @justinwritesya and Caron Butler (ARC) is a middle-grade novel all about heart, hope, and of course lots of great basketball 🏀 This has been the perfect book to read while I watch the NBA conference finals ⛹🏾
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We Were Dreamers: An Immigrant Superhero Origin Story by @simuliu has been absolutely phenomenal 😍 I've been a huge fan of Simu for quite some time and learning more about his family, his life, and how he became Shang-Chi has been really incredible 💥 Plus, he narrates the audiobook 🎧
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's really great to discover books that relate to my other interests because it just makes me feel so comforted and happy! 🤍 Now I need more books about superheroes and basketball 😉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are either of these books on your TBR? 📚

I lost my cool (in the best way) when @what_eats_owls announced the release date for Painted Devils, the gorgeous sequel to Little Thieves! 🥀 It's going to be torturous waiting a whole year, but I know it'll also be totally worth it! 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I also can't count the number of times I've watched the trailer for First Kill - the upcoming Netflix show based on @veschwab's short story in Vampires Never Get Old: Tales with Fresh Bite 🧛🏼‍♀️ It's been quite some time since I was this excited for a vampire show 🩸
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And in YA romance news, I'm geeking out over the cover and title reveal for @dilemmalord's next book! 🤍 It sounds like it'll be the perfect way to kick off 2023 (yes, yes I am thinking that far ahead and pondering which Taylor Swift song to pair with the release) 🙈

Do you DNF books? 🙅🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This has been such a controversial topic for so long and I've personally struggled with it A LOT 🙈 For years, I refused to quit reading a book unless the subject matter was too triggering or frightening for me to handle 🫣 I would even go so far as to read entire series that I literally didn't like, just to see if the books got any better and changed my mind 🧠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
HOWEVER... this recently changed for me! 🙀 This month, I chose to put down four books that weren't serving me - and it was so insanely freeing! 🍾 I felt like a weight was lifted off me, not forcing myself to read things I wasn't into - and while I still might give some books the benefit of the doubt and finish them (some of my favorite books of all time started off with me feeling very so-so about them)... I will no longer be struggling my way through series I'm not enjoying or novels that make me feel uneasy 🙌🏼

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm all about underrated books and try to recommend my faves on a regular basis because I think that they deserve just as much love as the hyped books 🤎 BUT I also enjoy reading my fair share of hyped books (even if they don't always live up to the hype) 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The last few books I read that 100% lived up to the hype were:
🐐 Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez (this book made me feel so seen it was unreal. I wept several times)
🪷 Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer (I was so thrilled with how much I enjoyed this fantasy)
💄 The No-Show by Beth O'Leary (this author is usually a winner for me and her latest release didn't disappoint)
🏛 The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake (I was unsure for the first 3rd of the book but it wound up being a 5-star read by the end!)

As you all know very well, I'm not the type of person to purchase books unless I've read them first (my exception being sequels to books I own or authors who never let me down) 🙈 That being said, I'm pretty picky about which books I DO spend my money on 💳
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I recently did a bit of a haul on #IndependentBookstoreDay to get my hands on some of my favorite books from the past year and I can't wait to have them in my hands soon! 🙌🏼 Below is the list of titles I ordered from my favorite indie shops:
🏛 The Atlas Six
👻 Gallant

While the gorgeous cover was certainly what drew me in (this has now landed in my top 3 fave covers of all time 😍), the story was absolutely BRILLIANT and I think everyone needs to add it to their July TBR! 📚 You're definitely going to want to get your hands on this masterpiece 🤍

What are your favorite fictional books with mental What are your favorite fictional books with mental health rep? 📚
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know that May is Mental Health Month? 💚 As someone who has battled with anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder for a great deal of my life, well written mental health rep in books is so important to me! 📖 It's always so encouraging to pick up a novel and feel truly seen while turning the pages 👀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A few books that have really stood out to me because of their mental health rep are:
• The Midnight Library by Matt Haig (this book quite literally changed my life and it's still one that I turn to whenever I'm struggling)
• The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by VE Schwab
• A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A Brown
• The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman (this is another comfort book for me because I've never found another character quite as much like me as Nina)
• Amelia Unabridged by Ashley Schumacher
• Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert
• The Sound of Stars by Alechia Dow
• This Might Get Awkward by Kara McDowell (this author knows how to write about anxiety in a way that's more relatable than I've seen in nearly any other book)
• It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini (this book got me through high school - in more ways than one)
