β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ—οΈ I definitely would NOT swap lives with either Grayson or Jameson in The Brothers Hawthorne because I don't even have a fraction of their brain power to solve puzzles and enter high-stakes games.. like that would just be a recipe for disaster! 🫣
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
🏰 Aaaand I also probably wouldn't swap with Agatha or Sophie in The School for Good and Evil because I'd be very confused in a place like that and wind up creating chaos without meaning to because how do you *not* when you're living in close quarters with fairytale characters? πŸ˜…

Happy first weekend of autumn 🍁 Who else is as thrilled as I am that the best season has officially arrived? 🀭
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I spent the day baking pumpkin bread with my sister, reading The Brothers Hawthorne while sipping my (multiple) cups of coffee, and watching the blustery rainy weather πŸŽƒ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
To answer my own question, here are a few of my top cozy, autumn book recs:

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I don't pick up many spring or summer books (since I dislike those seasons), but I typically find myself reading more cozy or witchy novels during autumn! πŸ‚ Doing this helps me to fully embrace my favorite time of the year πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

Hi friends--what have I missed? 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
All I'm hearing on repeat in my head is Jacob Black's ridiculous, "Where the hell have you been, loca?" πŸ˜† I missed you all SO MUCH this past month and a half 😭
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
So to answer the werewolf's question:
🫢🏼 I got to spend a week with one of my best buddies in Ohio and we made friendship blankets, got matching Gilmore Girls tattoos, went to high tea, watched a ton of Seinfeld, avoided a tornado, and shopped til we dropped (it was the best time)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ“– @chronicacademia and I have been buddy-reading like our lives depend on it for quite some time, but actually meeting in person and being able to geek out over books together face-to-face was the absolute best
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ₯€ The chance to meet one of my favorite authors during the same trip? Couldn't pass that up! I attended the Foxglove book tour in Columbus for @authoradalyngrace and it was such a surreal experience
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸͺ΄ I've begun to work on some home projects--finally turning my cozy cottage into exactly that--and I'm loving every second of it! Very thankful for some incredible partnerships that will be coming to this page real soon
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ₯° I’ve spent so much quality time with my family, including celebrating my sister’s birthday with her making such precious memories. So grateful for my incredible tribe who have held me up and brought so much comfort lately. 
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ’” The life update that I posted on my stories on Sept 1 explained the hardest part of why I disappeared for so long. I know that there are great plans for my future even as I stumble my way through the now (if you missed it and are confused, feel free to DM me)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Now, tell me something that you're looking forward to this autumn πŸ‚
What was the last book someone recommended to you What was the last book someone recommended to you that became a favorite? 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Okay, this wasn't the last one for me, but it was the FIRST book that @chronicacademia recommended to me… and it became an instant fave 😍
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
The Bone Houses is a cozy-creepy (aka, not scary, but just a little eerie, while also being totally cozy and atmospheric) fantasy with incredible disability rep and a truly creative story 🦴 If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend it for your "spooky season" TBR πŸŽƒ

15 Novels I Hope to Pick Up in July 2022

It was such fun choosing the books I plan to read in July 2022. There are lots of great sequels, a few exciting ARCs, and some titles that have been on my TBR for far too long.

June was an interesting reading month for me. It started out super strong with several 5-star cartoon cover romances. Then it lagged a bit with a few slower fantasies towards the last quarter of the month. There was one super slow week (for me) where I only picked up two books because I had a friend in town. And of course, there was the joy of reading a bunch of fantastic queer books to celebrate Pride Month! Overall, I’d call it a successful month! I read all of the books on my original TBR (minus just one that I’m scooting over to July) and I managed to add four additional titles to my “read” list as well!

I also wound up purchasing several new books this month, which is something I don’t do very frequently. I bought two of the books I read and loved at the beginning of the month (Adult Assembly Required and The Charm Offensive) along with a favorite from last year (The Dating Playbook) and a book I’m buddy-reading in July (Forging Silver Into Stars). Let’s just say that my shelves are looking super happy right about now! I’m excited to see how I do with my July TBR. Keep on reading to see which titles made it on my list for the month.

The 15 Books on My July 2022 TBR

You can find each book below. Tap on the photo to read the synopsis and tap on the title to buy or preorder. Visit my StoryGraph account to read my reviews as they go live – and check out my bookstagram account for more aesthetic photos of books and coffee! The titles that are starred are ARCs I’ve received to read and review.

The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea

by Axie Oh

This was the July pick from my 12-books-recommended-by-12-friends list. I already had this on my TBR, so this just gave me an excuse to read it even sooner. If the story is anywhere close to how gorgeous the cover is, I’ll be a happy camper.

Kiss Her Once for Me*

by Alison Cochrun

OH.EM.GEE. The way I literally screeched with excitement after being approved for this ARC was only a little bit embarrassing. The Charm Offensive is one of my favorite reads of the year so far and I can’t wait to pick up this story!

The River of Silver (Tales from the Daevabad Trilogy)

by S.A. Chakraborty

I’ve been very impatiently waiting since March for this audiobook to be available on Libby and I finally have access to it! I’m so excited to go back to Daevabad!

Forging Silver Into Stars (Forging Silver Into Stars #1)

by Brigid Kemmerer

After seriously enjoying the Cursebreakers trilogy, I knew I had to get my hands on this spin-off the moment it came out. When one of my booksta friends came to visit, we both bought copies and began reading together. It’ll be my “as I want to” read during the month of July.

Belladonna*

by Adalyn Grace

Adalyn’s All the Stars and Teeth duology is one of my favorites ever, so when I saw that she was releasing another book, I knew it was a must-read. Let’s just say that I was beyond thrilled when I was approved for the ARC! I can’t wait to dive in.

Tokyo Dreaming (Tokyo Ever After #2)

by Emiko Jean

Eek! This book is finally available on Libby and I can’t wait to listen to it. Tokyo Ever After was one of the cutest books I read last summer and I can’t wait to find out what happens next.

Sorcery of Thorns (Sorcery of Thorns #1)

by Margaret Rogerson

This book is part of my 30 “must-read” titles for 2022 and while I originally planned to get to it during autumn, I figured that I could use a little extra cozy during the hotter months. I don’t enjoy summer so I’m hoping this will bring me those fall vibes when I need them most!

Fevered Star (Between Earth and Sky #2)

by Rebecca Roanhorse

The moment I reached the final page of Black Sun, I put in a request at my library to read Fevered Star so I could get it as soon as possible. That cliffhanger is still on repeat in my mind. I have to know what comes next!

The Ever Cruel Kingdom (The Never Tilting World #2)

by Rin Chupeco

I’m a sucker for a full-cast audiobook and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to The Never Tilting World. This is another sequel I’m highly anticipating. I’m hoping it lives up to my expectations!

A Winter’s Promise (The Mirror Visitor Quartet #1)

by Christelle Dabos

This book has been on my TBR longer than any other book sooooo needless to say that it’s way past time for me to actually read it. I’ve heard excellent things over the years and look forward to giving it a go.

The Titan’s Curse (Percy Jackson and The Olympians #3)

by Rick Riordan

It’s honestly been so much fun finally reading through this series! It truly took me far too long, but it’s clear that these books are timeless. They’ve brought so much joy into my life.

She Gets the Girl

by Rachel Lippincott and Alyson Derrick

Okay, I’ve been hearing about this book nonstop lately and I just have to read it! I added it to my TBR the second I heard about it coming out and I’m thrilled to finally be getting my hands on it. I sure hope it lives up to the hype!

The Steel of Sapience

by Trinity Landon

Welp – this one has been scooted from June to July after I ran out of days in the month. BUT I’m definitely prioritizing it and really looking forward to the story. I’m already so impressed by the cover and the chapter art.

The Drowned Woods*

by Emily Lloyd-Jones

After finishing The Bone Houses towards the end of June, I immediately looked up the author’s work to add everything else to my TBR. When I saw that she had a new book coming out this year, I searched it on NetGalley and applied to read and review. It was such an exciting moment when I got the acceptance email! I can’t wait to dive into this one, set in the same world as the book I enjoyed so much.

Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between

by Jennifer E. Smith

Okay, I’ll admit it, I definitely added this to my TBR after seeing the trailer for the adaptation on Netflix. Jordan Fisher is one of my favorite actors so when he announced his role in the film, I knew I had to give it a read. Plus, it sounds so cute and sappy. I’m sure it’ll provide my good cry for the month of July.

I am interested in a lot of the books on your July TBR. Belladonna isn’t a book I would normally read, but I played the role of Belladonna in my college production of β€˜Sleeping Beauty’ so I might pick it for the sake of nostalgia. Also, I really want to get to β€˜She Gets The Girl’ this month! I have been curious about β€˜Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between’ since seeing the movie trailer. But I haven’t been too fond of Jennifer E. Smith writing in the past. Hope your reading goes well!

PS. I am counting down the days until fall because summer weather is not for me.

Ahh, I saw the trailer for Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between too and it looked so good! I didn’t know it was based on a book. Looks like I have another book to add to the old TBR list!

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I've been drinking this Bannered Mare tea from @steepedinlore with a splash of milk almost daily and it's been just the pick-me-up I need when I have those midday slumps after spending hours at my desk πŸ’» You don't want to miss this one and you can use the code ESPRESSO10 for a discount when you make your purchase! πŸ«–

If you don't want to swap with the MC of your current read, which character WOULD you want to trade lives with? πŸ“–

Happy first weekend of autumn 🍁 Who else is as thrilled as I am that the best season has officially arrived? 🀭
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I spent the day baking pumpkin bread with my sister, reading The Brothers Hawthorne while sipping my (multiple) cups of coffee, and watching the blustery rainy weather πŸŽƒ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
To answer my own question, here are a few of my top cozy, autumn book recs:

Do you plan your reads around the seasons? 🍁
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I don't pick up many spring or summer books (since I dislike those seasons), but I typically find myself reading more cozy or witchy novels during autumn! πŸ‚ Doing this helps me to fully embrace my favorite time of the year πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
It'll come as no surprise to you that, thanks to @steepedinlore, I've also been sipping on many mugs of tea while I dive into my autumnal reads πŸ«– Make sure you use my code ESPRESSO10 to get a discount on your seasonal tea purchase! 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ” FUN FACT ABOUT THIS PHOTO: My sweet and smooshy calico cat, Nona, decided that scarf was her snuggle spot and curled right upβ€”she makes the cutest prop, doesn’t she? πŸ₯Ή

SURPRISE! I'm going to begin adding home content to this page and I'm incredibly excited about it πŸ₯³ I've been slowly but surely transforming my house into the cozy little cottage of my dreams and the first thing to get a rework was the gallery wall in my bedroom, thanks to @desenio πŸ–ΌοΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I've been shopping from Desenio for YEARS now and very highly recommend their stunning art prints and frames, so of course, the opportunity to be a #DesenioPartner for this project was a dream come true πŸ™ŒπŸΌ In fact, I have gallery walls featuring their posters in three different rooms in my home--that's how much I love them 😍
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
You can read my full review of this company (from products to pricing to shipping, and more) at the link in my bio πŸ’» And between now and October 3, you can get 45% off your purchase from @desenio using the code ESPRESSOEDITION 🫢🏼
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Which print in my new gallery wall is your favorite? 🀎

What are some books that you've made your entire p What are some books that you've made your entire personality? πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Truthfully, it doesn't matter how long you've followed me, you probably already know that I love all things Shadow and Bone 🫢🏼 I've been going through a Grishaverse reread this year and loving every second of it, but nothing will compare to those first three books! πŸ₯°
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I was late to the game with this trilogy, reading it for the first time just a little before the show first premiered, but it quickly became a core part of my personality πŸ˜‰ Now, I own two signed copies of the first book (one is the special edition hardcover and one is the show tie-in) πŸ“– And no joke, 90% of my candles are related to the Grishaverse in some way (thank you @janzywaxco for providing the perfect scents for my many rereads and rewatches πŸ•―οΈ)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
When was the last time you reread your favorite series? πŸ“š

Hi friends--what have I missed? 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
All I'm hearing on repeat in my head is Jacob Black's ridiculous, "Where the hell have you been, loca?" πŸ˜† I missed you all SO MUCH this past month and a half 😭
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
So to answer the werewolf's question:
🫢🏼 I got to spend a week with one of my best buddies in Ohio and we made friendship blankets, got matching Gilmore Girls tattoos, went to high tea, watched a ton of Seinfeld, avoided a tornado, and shopped til we dropped (it was the best time)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ“– @chronicacademia and I have been buddy-reading like our lives depend on it for quite some time, but actually meeting in person and being able to geek out over books together face-to-face was the absolute best
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ₯€ The chance to meet one of my favorite authors during the same trip? Couldn't pass that up! I attended the Foxglove book tour in Columbus for @authoradalyngrace and it was such a surreal experience
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸͺ΄ I've begun to work on some home projects--finally turning my cozy cottage into exactly that--and I'm loving every second of it! Very thankful for some incredible partnerships that will be coming to this page real soon
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ₯° I’ve spent so much quality time with my family, including celebrating my sister’s birthday with her making such precious memories. So grateful for my incredible tribe who have held me up and brought so much comfort lately. 
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ’” The life update that I posted on my stories on Sept 1 explained the hardest part of why I disappeared for so long. I know that there are great plans for my future even as I stumble my way through the now (if you missed it and are confused, feel free to DM me)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Now, tell me something that you're looking forward to this autumn πŸ‚
What was the last book someone recommended to you What was the last book someone recommended to you that became a favorite? 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Okay, this wasn't the last one for me, but it was the FIRST book that @chronicacademia recommended to me… and it became an instant fave 😍
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
The Bone Houses is a cozy-creepy (aka, not scary, but just a little eerie, while also being totally cozy and atmospheric) fantasy with incredible disability rep and a truly creative story 🦴 If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend it for your "spooky season" TBR πŸŽƒ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
What's a cozy-creepy book that you enjoy? πŸ™ˆ

Do you prefer to savor one book for an extended pe Do you prefer to savor one book for an extended period of time, or do you tend to fly through your reads pretty quickly? ⏳
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Normally, I would say that I fly through books--inhaling them more than savoring them πŸ˜… But over the last week, I spent time buddy-reading The Fragile Threads of Power... and taking my time with it β˜•οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
There was something really nice about slowing down and reading little bits at a time, then discussing them with my friend, then reading more, then theorizing about the plot, then reading a little more, etc. 🀎 It felt good to just appreciate the book rather than gobbling it up (though I know I'll go right back to that with whatever I read next πŸ˜†)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
If you tend to fly through your reads, what's the last book that made you WANT to take your time with it and savor each moment? πŸ“–

Do you have any auto-buy authors? πŸ’³
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I'm SO picky with this list because, as a rule, I don't buy books unless I've read them already and loved them enough to read them again πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ BUT there are a few authors who are exceptions to this because I've literally never been disappointed by their books and I just want to support them in any way I can so I'll pre-order, order multiple copies, and screech about their books til my throat gets raw 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
 πŸ‚ Rachel Griffin - the first book I read by her was The Nature of Witches and I was instantly in love with her atmospheric writing and the way every book makes me appreciate nature
🌲 Joanna Ruth Meyer - the first book I read by her was Echo North and now I've reread several of her books countless times and own multiple copies of my fave
πŸ₯² Justin A Reynolds - the first book I read by him was Opposite of Always and literally every one of his books makes me both laugh til my belly aches and cry my eyes out
β˜€οΈ Emily Henry - the first book I read by her was Beach Read and now I crown her the romance queen and live for every summer-y release
πŸ™οΈ John Green - the first book I read by him was Paper Towns and it remained my favorite book for many, many years, even after the hype surrounding TFiOS... I learn from everything he writes
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you read books by any of these authors? πŸ“–
