What's the next backlist book on your TBR? 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm a huge fan of reading backlist books and this year, that has primarily come in the form of rereading my favorites 🫶🏼 I've finished my rereads of the Shades of Magic, Shadow and Bone, and The Hunger Games series - and I'm continuing my rereads of Six of Crows, Renegades, Strange the Dreamer, and All the Stars and Teeth 🙀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Next up on my backlist TBR:
 ☕️ Legends & Lattes (FINALLY - been waiting for this library hold for what feels like a thousand years)
♾️ Stealing Infinity (I received a copy of this from Entangled but it's been sitting on my shelf far too long.. it's time to dive in)
🐍 The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (after my THG reread, I'm ready to jump into this to prep for the upcoming film)
🎤 On the Come Up (I started craving more Angie Thomas after Concrete Rose so this was the natural next step)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read any of these? 👆🏼

This book - whew - it's heavy and haunting and simultaneously so beautiful and hopeful ✨ I've truly never read anything quite like it and I know I'll want to revisit it time and again, especially when I find myself struggling with the negative voices in my head 🤎 (Please note the content warnings before beginning your journey into this incredible story)

Recommend your favorite mysteries! 🔎 My mom ca Recommend your favorite mysteries! 🔎

My mom can confirm that when I was younger, I was constantly gobbling up mystery books 📖 As I got older, I found that so many books labeled as “mysteries” for YA and adults were more like thrillers - focusing on suspense and fear, rather than sleuthing (not my jam) 🙈

Now, I’m realizing that I must have just been looking in the wrong places for good mysteries, because they’re definitely out there 🙌🏼 I absolutely devoured The London Séance Society - enjoying the way it blended historical mystery, a healthy dose of suspense, and wild fantastical elements into just over 350 pages 🔮

Have you read this one yet? 🕯️

Falling for Cobalt

I can’t get enough!  Of cobalt, that is.  Last year, I was all about turquoise and teal during the summer and this year I’m rocking cobalt and navy all through the fall.  It’s all because of my dad.  He’s loved cobalt for as long as I can remember, so I would bring home little gifts for him in that beautiful blue.  As I’ve gotten older, I tend to make less dollar-store purchases (got him some wine glasses in cobalt once in middle school), and I’ve begun to use my style to “pay tribute” to his love for the color.

A couple months back, I received these fantastic blue slides from AMI Clubwear (my go-to place for shoes).  I was crazy about the color and the style (and the price tag – only $13), but I had no clue how to style them.  They sat forlorn on my shoe shelf and I was so sad every time I passed them because they were just begging to be worn!  Then two weeks ago, I went to get my nails done.  I was wearing a mustard sweater (seen here) and for some reason, the only color that was standing out to me to put on my nails was – you guessed it – cobalt.  I couldn’t get over how gorgeous the blue was and I knew I needed to bring more of it into my life.

The same shopping trip on which I found a fantastic Beetlejuice-esque blouse (that I also wore as a referee for two Halloween parties this past weekend), I picked up this stunning sweater!  It’s the exact same style – and price – as the mustard one I mentioned above, and my love for the color is so intense.  Fun facts about life: this sweater is only $13 and comes in eight colors!  I now own three of those eight, and I wouldn’t be surprised if I succumbed to the other five as well at some point.  I just can’t resist a great price and a versatile piece.

With my slides, nails, and sweater, I knew I had to throw together a cobalt-centered outfit to share with you babes.  I cannot even begin to tell you how many compliments I received on this outfit while shooting it and for the rest of the day while I was out running errands.  Everyone was shocked when I told them the price points, and I was reminded once again that style does not have to cost a pretty penny.  I’ll be finding lots of ways to style this sweater for the rest of the cold-weather months, and you can be sure you’ll see these slides again too!  Here’s to cobalt!


Outfit Details
sweater ($13) | denim ($80) | slides ($13) | sunglasses ($267) | similar bag ($31) | similar necklace ($6)

70-89%: lavender vanilla loose-leaf tea in a clear teacup 🫖
50-69%: dry red wine in a square edge stemmed glass🍷
30-49%: taro milk tea with boba in a reusable tumbler 🧋
0-29%: spiced bourbon on the rocks in a crystal glass 🥃
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Aaaaand now I want to enjoy all of these in the near future 🤤 I normally always have the first three on hand, but ya girl wants to try making bubble tea at home and it's been a hot second since I've had a bourbon or whiskey 🤷🏻‍♀️

Do you typically have a drink and snack with you when you read - or are you someone who prefers to eliminate any chance of a mess? 🙈

Recommend your favorite mysteries! 🔎 My mom ca Recommend your favorite mysteries! 🔎

My mom can confirm that when I was younger, I was constantly gobbling up mystery books 📖 As I got older, I found that so many books labeled as “mysteries” for YA and adults were more like thrillers - focusing on suspense and fear, rather than sleuthing (not my jam) 🙈

Now, I’m realizing that I must have just been looking in the wrong places for good mysteries, because they’re definitely out there 🙌🏼 I absolutely devoured The London Séance Society - enjoying the way it blended historical mystery, a healthy dose of suspense, and wild fantastical elements into just over 350 pages 🔮

Have you read this one yet? 🕯️

My emotions are all over the place when it comes to this particular season of the show, so enjoy the chaotic range of emojis based on my premiere day binge sesh:

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s just scratching the surface, friends 😂 I posted over 100 spoiler-filled stories to my close friends list during premiere day as I binged all 8 episodes, so to say I had a lot of thoughts would be an understatement 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No matter what I thought though (positive or negative), I support this cast and Leigh with my whole heart 🤎 So, I’ll be continuing to stream the season like crazy to get that Crows spin-off/season 3 (and I suggest you do too)! 👌🏼

If I compiled all my spoiler-y watch day videos into something I could share publicly, would you wanna see it? 👀

How do YOU cure a book hangover? 🥴 ⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do YOU cure a book hangover? 🥴
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ever since I finished my reread of the Shadow and Bone trilogy, I've found it so hard to get into anything else and all I want to do is just drop my entire TBR and continue rereading the rest of the Grishaverse 🫶🏼 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Y'all, the S&B obsession is so real (again) for me right now and I don't know if tomorrow's premiere will help soothe me or make things even worse 🙈 Oh, who am I kidding? 😅 It’s gonna make me a thousand times more insufferable 🤷🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've never been in a reading slump and I've only had a book hangover a couple of times, so I'm thinking that continuing with comfort reads of the same world/genre is going to be the most beneficial 📚 Off to open up Six of Crows next 🖤

What was the last read that left you with a book hangover? 📖

Which Shadow and Bone character(s) would you want Which Shadow and Bone character(s) would you want to invite to a watch party? 📺
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
GOSH, I could not be more excited for season 2 of the show to premiere on Thursday (I even rebooked a dentist appointment for this - and gave myself the day off work 🙈) And I think I’m somehow even more excited since Daisy Head gave me a shoutout on the Netflix IG page and Ben Barnes replied to my Q&A comment on Reddit 😱 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You all know Genya would be the first on my guest list, but of course, I'd also want to invite Alina, Jesper & Wylan, Tamar, and probably Inej as well 🙌🏼 And yes, yes, I'd love The Darkling to be there (if he can... behave himself? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Or maybe even if he can’t 😏)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're looking for all the Grishaverse goodness, peep my blog for everything from merch (like my Sun Saint candle from @janzywaxco ☀️) to themed drinks (the Jurda Parem is my favorite 🍹) to a full dissection of The Darkling's character 🖤 And make sure to let me know what you're most excited for this season! 🫶🏼

Tell me the last hyped book/series you read that D Tell me the last hyped book/series you read that DID live up to the hype and the last one that DIDN'T 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hyped books are funny things to me because I do read a decent amount of them, but I feel like very few of them actually live up to the praise they receive 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The last one I read and enjoyed was One Dark Window 🪟 The last one that absolutely did NOT live up was The Roughest Draft 👎🏼 The next on my radar is Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries, so I hope I wind up loving it! 🤎

If you could create the perfect bookish subscripti If you could create the perfect bookish subscription box, what would be inside? 📦
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think @litlovebox actually read my mind when they created the Coffee & Chocolate box ☕️ Each month, they send a gourmet bag of coffee (I chose whole beans so I can grind them for espresso), a delicious chocolate snack (walnut toffee and a chocolate lolly for me) and a newly released novel (Georgie, All Along - which sounds so cute) 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you want to indulge in this amazing box for yourself, use STEPH5 for a discount and enjoy all the books, coffee, and chocolate your heart desires 🤎
