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? 🕯️

8 Blanket Scarves That Will Elevate Your Fall Outfits

Blanket scarves make the perfect fall accessory for any outfit.

Over the years, I’ve fallen prey to nearly every scarf trend. From the skinny, sparkly ones in high school to the chunky infinity ones a few years back. However, I think my favorites are blanket scarves – particularly plaid ones. There’s a reason why they call them blanket scarves: they’re literally a wearable blanket around your neck. The best part is that they’re so huge that usually, you can style them in multiple ways. I’m partial to the classic neck twist, but you can also criss-cross them and cinch with a belt to emulate a sweater vest, or you can wrap them around your shoulders like a poncho or cape. That’s only scratching the surface!

I’ve had this particular warm-tone, plaid scarf for several years now and it’s hands down my very favorite. It has so many different autumn colors in it that it truly goes with every outfit. I wear it constantly. I was so excited to find out that it’s still in stock and that there are a bunch of other gorgeous plaid designs available as well.

You need plaid blanket scarves for autumn.

It’s just a given. These make the coziest accessory ever! I’ve rounded up eight of my favorites that are perfect for this season. There are mostly warm neutral colors throughout, but I also added some cool tones and classic black and white for those who prefer to stick with a darker palette for their wardrobe. Get yourself a few, because these stunning scarves are under $15 and super versatile! You can click on any of your favorites below to be redirected to the retailer’s website.

COVER REVEAL for The Looking-Glass Illusion by @saraellawrites 🤩 Swipe through to see the stunning cover and read the synopsis for the second book in The Curious Realities series 📚
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I was a kid, the idea of tumbling down the rabbit hole or finding a way through the looking glass to Wonderland excited me to no end 🍄 As an adult, I get to enjoy this world in a new light, thanks to Sara's extraordinary imagination and creativity 💭
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I absolutely adored The Wonderland Trials and seriously can't wait to dive into the next book, coming in September 2023 🙌🏼 Will you be reading this classic-inspired sequel when it's released? 📖

My emotions are all over the place when it comes to this particular season of the show, so enjoy the chaotic range of emojis based on my premiere day binge sesh:

🏴‍☠️🪓🫶🏼😳🧇🥵🤔🧨🔫☀️
🩹🌈⛓️🦋😭🌾💪🏼🤬😤😱
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s just scratching the surface, friends 😂 I posted over 100 spoiler-filled stories to my close friends list during premiere day as I binged all 8 episodes, so to say I had a lot of thoughts would be an understatement 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No matter what I thought though (positive or negative), I support this cast and Leigh with my whole heart 🤎 So, I’ll be continuing to stream the season like crazy to get that Crows spin-off/season 3 (and I suggest you do too)! 👌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If I compiled all my spoiler-y watch day videos into something I could share publicly, would you wanna see it? 👀

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 🖤

What was the last read that left you with a book hangover? 📖

Which Shadow and Bone character(s) would you want Which Shadow and Bone character(s) would you want to invite to a watch party? 📺
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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! 🫶🏼

Tell me the last hyped book/series you read that D Tell me the last hyped book/series you read that DID live up to the hype and the last one that DIDN'T 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hyped books are funny things to me because I do read a decent amount of them, but I feel like very few of them actually live up to the praise they receive 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The last one I read and enjoyed was One Dark Window 🪟 The last one that absolutely did NOT live up was The Roughest Draft 👎🏼 The next on my radar is Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries, so I hope I wind up loving it! 🤎

Have you read any of these? 📚

If you could create the perfect bookish subscripti If you could create the perfect bookish subscription box, what would be inside? 📦
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think @litlovebox actually read my mind when they created the Coffee & Chocolate box ☕️ Each month, they send a gourmet bag of coffee (I chose whole beans so I can grind them for espresso), a delicious chocolate snack (walnut toffee and a chocolate lolly for me) and a newly released novel (Georgie, All Along - which sounds so cute) 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you want to indulge in this amazing box for yourself, use STEPH5 for a discount and enjoy all the books, coffee, and chocolate your heart desires 🤎

I love that this is becoming more of a popular sub-genre because I am all about cozy vibes all the time 🤎 

I’ve read The House in the Cerulean Sea, adored A Psalm for the Wild-Built and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, and I have been waiting for my copy of Legends and Lattes at the library for eons, so suggest something NEW! 😉

Have you read this book (or any of the ones I mentioned)? 📚
