Which books LIVE RENT-FREE in your mind? 🧠 You Which books LIVE RENT-FREE in your mind? 🧠 You know the ones: you're trying to do your work or run errands - really, just go about your day - but all you can think about is getting back to your book! 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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! 📖

How to Dress Up Cheetah Print for Fall


Cheetah print has a reputation for being flirty and fun, but did you know it’s equally classy and sophisticated?

During the autumn season, I find myself reaching for more leopard and cheetah prints than at any other time of year. Maybe it’s because they’re made with darker colors or maybe it’s just a fun print – but either way, I love to find opportunities to dress them up!

This cheetah print midi skirt is an excellent item to have because it can be worn in many different ways. While I could easily pair it with a graphic tee, leather jacket, and sneakers – I wanted to show how it would be appropriate for the office or for a nice date night as well!


shop the look
cheetah print midi skirt c/o Chicwish | black turtleneck | black loafers | similar quilted crossbody bag | similar gold layered necklace

The easiest way to keep cheetah print looking chic is to stay simple.

Pair the wild pattern with tones that are similar or the same. I chose black because it’s practically foolproof. I tucked a classic black turtleneck into the skirt and wore a pair of black loafers. This outfit is nothing extraordinary, but it’s timeless and comfortable. Since the skirt is calf-length, and I chose close-toed shoes and a higher-neck top, it’s totally appropriate for the office. It’s also great for a nicer date night. If you’re wanting to dress it up even further, swap the flats for a patent pump and you’re sure to impress!

If you thought cheetah print couldn’t be classy, hopefully, I’ve changed your mind!

    I love this! I used to think animal prints were tacky but then I saw all the great ways they can be styled and I love them. I have a cheetah print tank top that I’m thinking I will adjust for fall – maybe with jeans or black pants and a black cardigan. I also have a white leopard print skirt about this length so I could do something very similar to your look!

2. My husband and I literally had a meet-cute at a wedding
3. I did musical theatre for 6 years and ballroom dancing for 3
4. When I was 16, I auditioned for the American Idol Experience, and somehow wound up singing to a full theater + broadcasted to the park (on Christmas Eve)
5. I was home-educated all the way through HS graduation
6. I didn't go to college, but I was accepted into a fashion merchandising program at VCU after high school
7. I nearly went to a makeup artistry school in Chicago
8. Clearly I love fashion/makeup but now I prefer to live in comfy clothes, makeup-free
9. I'm a total introvert and homebody and love that I work from home
10. I have a gastrointestinal chronic illness called gastroparesis (which is part of why I work from home)
11. I'm allergic to a TON of really bizarre food and can't eat any of Thanksgiving dinner
12. I listen to more audiobooks than music, but I still adore some good jazz or anything Taylor Swift lays her hands on
13. I don't have a favorite color
14. I've only ever had cats and my kitty, Luna, is my BFF
15. The library is my happy place and I cried when I got my first library card as a kid
16. I collect cute coffee mugs
17. I've only been off the east coast one time and barely remember it because I was so young
18. I have a super overactive imagination and can't stand anything remotely frightening
19. My hair is naturally auburn but I've been coloring it every shade of red since I was 18
20. Right now, I'm realizing I'll have to finish these facts in the comments because I'm way too wordy for my own good 😂

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

If that’s not me in a candle, I don’t know what is 😱 Now is THE TIME to get one of her candles for yourself and you can use ESPRESSO10 for a discount 👏🏼

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? 📖
