⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can distinctly pick out a few books that have done this for me in the past year: 
💥 the entire RENEGADES trilogy by @marissameyerauthor
🎼 the audiobook version of DAISY JONES & THE SIX by @tjenkinsreid
👗 A DRESS FOR THE WICKED by @autumnsarahstory
🌳 obviously my fave INTO THE HEARTLESS WOOD by @gamwyn
🖤 all of the SHADES OF MAGIC books by @veschwab
🏖 my arc of THE LUCKY ESCAPE by @laurajaneauthor
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These are the kind of books that create a strong desire to do nothing BUT read (and I love it) 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read any of the books I mentioned? A full review of The Lucky Escape will be on my blog tomorrow! 📚

This is just my weekly reminder to let you all know that I will never be over INTO THE HEARTLESS WOOD by @gamwyn 🌳 I read it for the first time in August 2020 and a second time when it officially released in January 2021 and, yep, you guessed it: I'm already considering reading it again 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now that I have the gorgeous, signed hardcover copy (SWOON 🤩), I feel like I need to "break it in" (but like... you know... GENTLY) ✌🏼 If you haven't gotten to read this beautifully haunting and epic tale of tree siren monster girl, Seren, and cinnamon roll astronomer boy, Owen, then you're TOTALLY MISSING OUT 😳 You better get your hands on it right away! 📖

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.

What are some of your favorite dystopian novels? 🔥
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This was one of the first questions I asked when I joined bookstagram, but I wanted to revisit it because this community has grown and I'm curious to see if I'll get any unfamiliar responses! 🤔
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I recently began reading Escaping Eleven (big thank-you to @entangledteen for sending this copy my way) and I'm really enjoying the Fallout-meets-Divergent kinda vibes 🏢

Controversial question time: is A Court of Thorns Controversial question time: is A Court of Thorns and Roses (the series) really worth all the hype? 😳
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is something I've been considering a lot since joining bookstagram 📱 Up until last year, I didn't even know this was a popular series at all - let alone possibly the MOST popular series (in the bookish world) 🤯 And it's not just popular because it's loved; there are a lot of mixed thoughts on this fandom as a whole 🧚🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the past few months, I took it upon myself to read all the books leading up to A Court of Silver Flames and I'm getting BRUTALLY HONEST on the blog with my thoughts regarding this fantasy series 🤭 If you're curious, head to the link in my bio to check it out 🔗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
SIDE NOTE: Thank you so much to everyone who has reached out to me with care and concern for my sweet kitty, Luna 🥺 Your encouragement, prayers, and positivity have been invaluable during this challenging time and I feel so blessed to have this supportive community in my life 🤎

What's the last book that made you SQUIRM? 🥴
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been looking forward to reading THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS, primarily due to the amount of mixed reviews (I love forming my own opinion on super hyped books 🙈), but I guess I didn't read those reviews very well because I was not expecting for it to make my HEART RACE 🫀 BLOOD PUMP 🩸 and SKIN CRAWL 🐛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After a couple of chapters, I checked out the author's note on Goodreads and was grateful that she did, in fact, give content warnings 👏🏼 It's not for the faint of heart, that's for sure 😹

Have you read this 1920's-Shanghai-gang-Romeo-&-Juliet retelling? 🗡

I knew from the moment I decided to join booksta that my name had to reflect what I wanted to photograph - and I desperately wanted to get creative with coffee and books! ☕️📚 I kept trying to think of interesting combinations that expressed what I’d be sharing but nothing felt satisfactory until... THE ESPRESSO EDITION popped into my head and I went OMG THAT’S IT!!! 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the prizes for my bookstaversary giveaway was a custom The Espresso Edition candle from @janzywaxco 🕯 There was just one problem: after the giveaway ended, I realized that I wanted one for myself 😂 Janzy is the BEST and made a second one just for me - complete with the PERFECT scent profile:

🍁 MAPLE SPICE
🎃 PUMPKIN
🥮 CARAMEL

Do you participate in book clubs (or group/buddy r Do you participate in book clubs (or group/buddy reads)? 🤝
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had never been part of a book club until I joined bookstagram 😱 I've participated in a few virtual ones in the last year and now I'm HOSTING MY OWN 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yesterday was the first group discussion for February's pick: Wicked Lovely 🦋 This is one of my favorite books/series of all time, so introducing it to my friends (and finding others who have already read it and wanted to reread) is SO much fun 🥳
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Should I keep this virtual book club/group read going and pick a new title for next month? 📖
