I'm currently reading two books that are closely related with things (outside of reading) that I love: the NBA and Marvel πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Shot Clock by @justinwritesya and Caron Butler (ARC) is a middle-grade novel all about heart, hope, and of course lots of great basketball πŸ€ This has been the perfect book to read while I watch the NBA conference finals β›ΉπŸΎ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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 πŸ’₯ Plus, he narrates the audiobook 🎧
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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 πŸ˜‰
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Are either of these books on your TBR? πŸ“š

πŸ‘‘ A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A Brown
βš“οΈ All the Stars and Teeth by Adalyn Grace
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

Do you DNF books? πŸ™…πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
This has been such a controversial topic for so long and I've personally struggled with it A LOT πŸ™ˆ 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 🧠
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
HOWEVER... this recently changed for me! πŸ™€ 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 πŸ™ŒπŸΌ 
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you ever almost DNF'd a book that you wound up loving? 🀎 Which was it? πŸ“–

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) πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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)
πŸͺ· Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer (I was so thrilled with how much I enjoyed this fantasy)
πŸ’„ The No-Show by Beth O'Leary (this author is usually a winner for me and her latest release didn't disappoint)
πŸ› 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!)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

Our Master Bedroom Moodboard and Wishlist

This post is in partnership withΒ Revival Rugs who very kindly compensated this restored vintage rug for our master bedroom. As always, all opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the companies that supportΒ The Espresso Edition.

The right rug can be hard to find, but I always believe it should be the first item in a new space. It sets the mood for the decor!

I honestly thought I knew what I wanted our master bedroom to look and feel like – until I saw this rug on theΒ Revival Rugs website! Brandon and I spent probably an hour looking through rug after rug until we decided on the teal and turquoise restored vintage rug, titled the “Jerick.” I’d love to link it for you to purchase for yourself, however, since these are vintage rugs, there is only one of each! Honestly, I think that’s pretty cool, because it means you’re getting a rug that no one else owns, so it’s unique to you and your space.

After deciding on this beautiful rug, we (*ahem*) I got to work, looking for the pieces to make our space exactly the way we like – modern bohemian. This was the exact vibe we worked towards in our living room, and we love how that turned out. It didn’t come as too much of a surprise that our eyes were drawn to the teal/blue colors again and that we wanted to bring a similar atmosphere to our bedroom. You know what they say, these tones are the most relaxing and inviting! It’s no wonder we want them flowing throughout our home.

Now that we have the right rug, we can move forward with the decoration process.

I’ve put together an entire moodboard, focusing on the items we have on our master bedroom wishlist, and bringing in all the right colors and textures for this space. We don’t have a huge room, but the “Jerick” from Revival RugsΒ sure made it feel more spacious with all its stunning vibrancy. It’s the first thing that catches your eye when you walk up our stairs towards the room, and I love that about it.

We already had a couple of furniture pieces picked out, and we probably won’t change too much about the bed, aside from adding colored pillows and maybe a throw blanket. The real additions will be artwork (hoping to hang wedding photos above the bed and our wood wedding signs above the television), curtains, and goodness knows I’d love an armchair in the corner to snuggle up in when I want to read!

      It can be challenging to find the perfect thing to add to a space. But I HIGHLY recommend Revival Rugs. Their vintage restored rug guarantees that no one else will have the exact same rug as you – which is super cool, in my opinion!

      Oh goodness I LOVE good wood floors. If I had the option, I’d definitely have more of them in our home. However, we’re in a townhouse right now so there’s not much we can do as far as the sand-toned carpet goes. So that’s why we opt for vibrant rugs to bring life to the space!

    I am DYING to get my hand on some gorgeous rugs! As we’re currently renting, we’re stuck with a very ugly looking carpet, and I know a good rug would help hide that fact. I love the pop of colour your bright blue rug adds to the room, that’s exactly what I need in my house! 😍

      Same here! We’re in a townhome, so our entire house is washed in beige carpeting and sandy-colored walls. I knew I HAD to have more color, so rugs were the way to go. Our living room also has a super vibrant rug – and man, they’re just serious mood-boosters!

      I can see how you’d love a more neutral rug. Our whole home is so washed in tan/beige colors that I HAD to have more color or I think I may have just collapsed with boredom in my space haha. These cheery colors just make me so much happier!

      Hehe, gladly! I’d love to decorate spaces more often. If I had the budget for it, our home would be cRaZy decorated by now! But it’s looking like it’ll be right before our lease runs out that I finally get to decorating all the primary places in the house haha.

    Yes to all of this! I’ve been thinking about getting a rug for my space but I’m not sure I like the idea of it covering my hardwood floor, plus like you said, it really sets the mood for the rest of the decor and I’m not ready for that mood to change if that makes sense?

      That 100% makes sense! You don’t always have to do a giant rug! Revival Rugs offer different sizes, and we even looked into getting a small one for our kitchen πŸ™‚ You certainly don’t have to cover anything – just add a pop of color or design under a chair or by a table or something. Who knows – maybe you’ll love it!

Shot Clock by @justinwritesya and Caron Butler (ARC) is a middle-grade novel all about heart, hope, and of course lots of great basketball πŸ€ This has been the perfect book to read while I watch the NBA conference finals β›ΉπŸΎ

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 πŸ’₯ Plus, he narrates the audiobook 🎧

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! πŸ₯€ It's going to be torturous waiting a whole year, but I know it'll also be totally worth it! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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 πŸ§›πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ It's been quite some time since I was this excited for a vampire show 🩸
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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) πŸ™ˆ

Do you DNF books? πŸ™…πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
This has been such a controversial topic for so long and I've personally struggled with it A LOT πŸ™ˆ 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 🧠
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
HOWEVER... this recently changed for me! πŸ™€ 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 πŸ™ŒπŸΌ 
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you ever almost DNF'd a book that you wound up loving? 🀎 Which was it? πŸ“–

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? πŸ’₯
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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) πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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)
πŸͺ· Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer (I was so thrilled with how much I enjoyed this fantasy)
πŸ’„ The No-Show by Beth O'Leary (this author is usually a winner for me and her latest release didn't disappoint)
πŸ› 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!)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Are any of these hyped books on your TBR? πŸ“š

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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) πŸ™ˆ That being said, I'm pretty picky about which books I DO spend my money on πŸ’³
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ Below is the list of titles I ordered from my favorite indie shops:
πŸ› The Atlas Six
πŸ‘» Gallant
✨ The Kindred
πŸ“± The Boyfriend Project
πŸ’› Life's Too Short
🎈 All Fired Up (pre-order, since I loved the arc)

Okay, SO, this book isn't actually out in the world yet πŸ™ˆ 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! πŸ“’
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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! πŸ“š 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? πŸ“š
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Did you know that May is Mental Health Month? πŸ’š 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! πŸ“– It's always so encouraging to pick up a novel and feel truly seen while turning the pages πŸ‘€
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A few books that have really stood out to me because of their mental health rep are:
β€’ 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)
β€’ The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by VE Schwab
β€’ A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A Brown
β€’ 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)
β€’ Amelia Unabridged by Ashley Schumacher
β€’ Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert
β€’ The Sound of Stars by Alechia Dow
β€’ 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)
β€’ It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini (this book got me through high school - in more ways than one)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you read any of these wonderful, healing books? β˜•οΈ
