Ya girl is the self-proclaimed biggest fan of the library to ever walk the earth 🌍 Okay, that could be an exaggeration, but most of the time it doesn’t feel like one. I cried with happiness over my first library card as a kid, and I won’t purchase a book until I’ve borrowed it from the library and loved it enough to own it. I have 5 library cards, swear by Libby and Hoopla for all of my audiobooks and ebooks, and at this point, I feel like an Arthur tattoo might be necessary (IYKYK) 😂

But I digress... February is National Library Lovers’ Month, and I think you should get a library card (or 5) and celebrate not only the perk of FREE BOOKS but also the countless ways public libraries are integral to our lives and communities! 🙌🏼

What was the last library book you checked out? 📖

This one has been an easy answer for me since 2020, when I read THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY. It completely changed my life.

Since then, I have recommended it to countless people, and have felt intense amounts of joy as I’ve seen those people recommend it to others, buy copies for friends, suggest it for their book clubs, and come back to me to tell me how it changed their life just like it changed mine 🥰

Which book would you say changed your life for the better? 🤎

3 Grishaverse-Inspired Cocktails That You Will Love

This post was originally published in 2021. It has been updated with the 3 most delicious Grishaverse cocktails that you’re going to love for your Shadow and Bone watch party!

3 Delicious Drinks Inspired by The Grishaverse by The Espresso Edition cozy lifestyle and book blog

When Shadow and Bone was released on Netflix, my friend and I decided to try our hand at creating cocktails inspired by the Grishaverse!

For those of you who aren’t already aware, The Grishaverse encompasses the Shadow and Bone trilogy, Six of Crows duology, and King of Scars duology by Leigh Bardugo. This just so happens to be my favorite bookish universe. In honor of the Netflix adaptation that was released in 2021, my friend and I began getting creative with Grishaverse drink ideas to enjoy while watching the show!

I really can’t take the credit for these drinks at all! Kait is an absolute genius and she literally dreamt up the recipes for a couple of them. It was so much fun to sip on them while binging the show during the premiere weekend! When I received entrance into the virtual meet and greet with the cast, she came over and we made the drinks again. This time we documented it so I could share the recipes with you!

Oh my gosh what a cute post idea! Alex and I actually started the Shadow & Bone series last weekend on Netflix and I’m OBSESSED. We watched 4 episodes last weekend and are probably going to watch the second four this coming weekend so clearly I need to make one of these cocktails to go with it! I think I’m going to try The Little Palace!
