⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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 didn't even know duologies were a thing until I joined bookstagram, but over the past couple of years, I've discovered several favorites (so many that I actually wrote a whole blog post about them) 🤎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A few that I love a little extra:
🃏 Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
🦋 Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor
👑 A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A Brown
⚓️ All the Stars and Teeth by Adalyn Grace
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And a couple with upcoming sequels I'm anticipating:

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!)

How to Casually Style Bookish Graphic Tees

This post was originally published in October 2020. It has been updated to share the best tips for styling bookish graphic tees + which small shops to purchase from!

I’ve begun to collect bookish graphic tees and now I want to share them all with you!

It’s no secret that I love graphic tees. I’ve probably written more posts about this article of clothing than any other! I own tees with witty sayings, cultural references, bands I love, being a Virginia native, and more. Now I’m diving into my bookish and fandom side and I’ve been introduced to so many fantastic shops through bookstagram.

In this post, I wanted to not only share how I style my tees super casually for autumn, but also provide information on some of the small bookish businesses to support. While I have a massive list of stores that I love, I’m focusing on the ones that have great t-shirt choices! Hopefully, you’ll find a new favorite.

Where to Find the Cutest Bookish Graphic Tees

I’ve already shopped at several of these stores – for tees and other goodies (like coffee mugs, candles, and more)! I’m lucky enough to be a rep for a couple of them and you can find the discount codes they’ve provided below. I certainly hope to purchase from all of these shops in the future. It’s a great way to support a small business and get your hands on the cutest goodies!

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) 🙈

Are you excited about any of these bits of bookish news? 📰

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 🙌🏼 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever almost DNF'd a book that you wound up loving? 🤎 Which was it? 📖

What was the last hyped book you read that actuall What was the last hyped book you read that actually did live up to the hype? 💥
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are any of these hyped books on your TBR? 📚

What was the last book you purchased for yourself What was the last book you purchased for yourself or got from the library? 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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
✨ The Kindred
📱 The Boyfriend Project
💛 Life's Too Short
🎈 All Fired Up (pre-order, since I loved the arc)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read any of these or are any of them on your TBR? 📚

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Okay, SO, this book isn't actually out in the world yet 🙈 BUT since I haven't seen too much about it on bookstagram, I figured it's my job to help screech about how fantastic it is! 📢
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read any of these wonderful, healing books? ☕️
