Close your eyes Think about holding a book in you

Close your eyes Think about holding a book in your hands. Feel the pages and the spine. Visualize the cover. Now tell me, what book did you see? 👀 Was it one you recommend? 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The first book that popped into my head when I did this exercise was The Charm Offensive! 🫶🏼 This was a combination of me wanting to reread this adorable book that became an instant fave of mine last year 📖 thinking about how often I've seen it recommended lately for #PrideMonth (yay!) 🏳️‍🌈 and all the pondering I've been doing lately about the fact that I hate reality TV shows but for some reason, love reading books about reality TV shows 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read The Charm Offensive or is it 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? 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've said it before and I'll say it a million more times (😅): I don't purchase books unless I've read them first (my few exceptions being sequels for series I love or auto-buy authors) 🤷🏻‍♀️ Needless to say, I'm pretty picky about which books I DO spend my money on 💳
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I recently did a bit of a haul from Book Outlet during their mega fiction sale and here's what I snagged:
☕️ Legends & Lattes
🕰️ In Five Years
🌲 Lost in the Never Woods
🥀 Girl, Serpent, Thorn
🎤 XOXO
🥧 Crumbs
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read any of these or are any of them on your TBR? 📚

What was the last sequel/companion novel announcement that got you really excited? 🤩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was SO thrilled when I saw @kristinaforest's announcement for The Partner Plot, an adult romance that follows Violet (the older sister of Lily from The Neighbor Favor) and her high school sweetheart 🩷 It's coming out in the spring of 2024 and I'm already counting down the days until it's in my hands 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you haven't read The Neighbor Favor yet, what are you waiting for? 😉 It's absolutely ADORABLE and I was so thrilled to get a copy of it in one of my @litlovebox packages - along with some delicious chocolates and coffee, of course ☕️ Use the code STEPH5 for a discount on your very own box (good til the end of May!) 🎁

What was the last series that you started? 📚
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been starting (and completing) a lot of series this year 🙌🏼 Admittedly, half of them are rereads, but they still count, right? 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Series rereads I've finished this year:
🌊 All the Stars and Teeth
🏹 The Hunger Games
🦌 Shadow and Bone
❣️ Shades of Magic
🐦‍⬛ Six of Crows
🍂 Heartstopper (up to date)
🦸🏻‍♀️ Renegades

What are your favorite adult fantasy series? ⚔️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A few years ago, I devoured The Daevabad Trilogy and completely fell in love with the absolutely magnificent world-building 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adult fantasy can be tricky if you're used to the pacing in YA fantasy, but after some time, you might find that you really enjoy the way that the story develops 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some of my favorite completed adult fantasy series:
💚 The Green Bone Saga (Jade City, Jade War, Jade Legacy)
🧛🏻‍♂️ All Souls (A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, The Book of Life)
🐺 The Wilderwood (For the Wolf, For the Throne)
⏳ Shades of Magic (A Darker Shade of Magic, A Gathering of Shadows, A Conjuring of Light)

What's one book you'd recommend to someone just diving into fiction for the first time? 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've asked this in the past, but I'm curious how the answers might change since so many books have come out in the last several years that I think would fit this perfectly 👌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't have many IRL friends who enjoy reading, but I have been lucky enough to recommend books to fiction newbies in the past and I usually start with The Midnight Library! 📚 I think it's a book everyone should read (but that's because it saved my life, so it's very special to me) and I especially recommend it during May, Mental Health Awareness Month! 💚
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
‼️ I’m taking the next week away from social media/blogging for my own mental health. I’ll probably be lurking some but please note that I won’t be updating much of anything til after the 15th 🫶🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read The Midnight Library yet? ☕️

Did you love any of your April reads so much that you wanted to immediately turn around and read them again? 🤎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I certainly felt that about a few of the books I read this past month, but especially:
🫖 The Tea Dragon Society - this entire MG graphic novel trilogy just warmed my heart so much. It's precious and wonderful and if you haven't read it, please do because you won't be able to wipe the smile off your face.
🔍 Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers - within the first couple of chapters, I was belly-laughing so hard I was crying. This was hilarious and adorable and I didn't want it to end. I immediately began recommending it to everyone.
⛱️ Happy Place - because of course! I mean, this book did make me sob my eyes out multiple times, but it also made me belly laugh more than once as well. It was perfect in every way and very quickly became my second fave of Emily's books (just after PWMOV)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank goodness I'm a big fan of rereading because I know I'll be revisiting all of these books again in the future 🙌🏼
