My favorite fictional character of all time is Genya Safin from the Grishaverse 🀍 This badass Tailor has a taste for the finer things and would absolutely drink a deliciously dark roast with notes of cherry, walnut, and rich chocolate 🀀 I think she would enjoy a café au lait -- drip coffee with steamed milk -- that David prepared for her in a drip coffee contraption of his own making 🫢🏼

It was absolutely wonderful to end 2022 with Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez 😍 I don’t like to pick favorites when it comes to my top authors, but this adorable fake dating romance may very well be my favorite book by her! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

I’m a seriously picky romance reader, but Abby’s blend of sweetness and substance never ceases to amaze me and Yours Truly was no exception 🀎 Just like her previous novels, this one made me cry my eyes out as I saw bits and pieces of myself in each of the characters πŸ₯Ή It was just SO GOOD, y’all, and you can find the full review on my blog! 🫢🏼

Are you planning to pick up Yours Truly when it comes out in April? πŸ“– Have you read any of Abby’s other phenomenal romance novels? πŸ₯°

4-Ingredient Mint Mojito You’ll Want to Drink Immediately

When asked my drink of choice, I never have to think twice. It’s a classic, mint mojito. Refreshing, simple, and delicious.

A couple years ago, on a hot summer day, I perfected the classic mojito. It doesn’t have to be a ton of fuss and a mess of ingredients all over your kitchen. This recipe consists of four ingredients and you’ll be earning the title of master mojito maker in no time.

After noticing that National Mojito Day was on July 11th (and coincidentally, the day I wrote up this post), I decided I wanted to share my super simple recipe with you.

This is the perfect drink for everything from entertaining guests to relaxing outside on a warm summer evening.

You’ll want to save this recipe for later, because I can promise you’ll be enjoying this all season long. I’ve gone through my fair share of limes in the past couple of years just to make this delicious beverage!

      Well, I don’t muddle mint and mix in sugar – but the mint simple syrup is where the sweetness comes in. Don’t worry – it’s still sweet, but still super refreshing!

      Adding the Bubly was a recent change for me – I always just used club soda for the carbonation. I will say I like this addition because it’s a bit more lime flavor AND it’s extra bubbly hehe

    I love the way these photos turned out. Growing up in Florida, mojitos used to be my favorite as well. But in recent years, I’ve become a big fan of anything with elderflower in it.

      Actually, there’s no lemon at all. A classic mojito is based around limes and mint – so I kept true to the original style with fresh lime juice and then added my own twist with the lime-flavored sparkling water!

It was absolutely wonderful to end 2022 with Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez 😍 I don’t like to pick favorites when it comes to my top authors, but this adorable fake dating romance may very well be my favorite book by her! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

I’m a seriously picky romance reader, but Abby’s blend of sweetness and substance never ceases to amaze me and Yours Truly was no exception 🀎 Just like her previous novels, this one made me cry my eyes out as I saw bits and pieces of myself in each of the characters πŸ₯Ή It was just SO GOOD, y’all, and you can find the full review on my blog! 🫢🏼

Are you planning to pick up Yours Truly when it comes out in April? πŸ“– Have you read any of Abby’s other phenomenal romance novels? πŸ₯°

There have been quite a few characters I've read about this month who I'd love to sit down and chat with over a hot bev πŸ₯°
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
However, from my current reads, I would NOT take anyone from Jade Legacy (because you never know who might end up unaliving), I'd definitely take both Kell and Lila from A Darker Shade of Magic, I'm not entirely sure I'd enjoy coffee with Katniss from The Hunger Games (since she's not the most exciting conversationalist), but I'd absolutely love chatting it up with Alina from Shadow and Bone! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

What is a spin-off series that you prefer over the What is a spin-off series that you prefer over the originals? πŸ“š

This past year, I either began or finished a few spin-off series that I found myself enjoying even more than their predecessors πŸ™ˆ The Dreamer Trilogy (the first of which is featured here) BLEW ME AWAY even though I just *sorta-kinda* liked The Raven Cycle 😱 But there I was, sobbing my eyes out at the end of Greywaren 😭 So freaking good! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

Typically I’m all about the OG series (like Shadow and Bone), but every once in a while, there’s a really great spin-off or continuation that I wind up just loving! 🀩 I’m excited to discover even more this year πŸ—“οΈ

Have you read The Dreamer Trilogy yet? πŸ’­

Crazy enough, my very favorite book of all time is a stand-alone fantasy 😱 If you don't listen to a single other book recommendation I have this year, that's fine, but *please* read Into the Heartless Wood by Joanna Ruth Meyer 🌲 It is absolute perfection! 🀌🏼

What is your favorite graphic novel? 🎨 It was What is your favorite graphic novel? 🎨

It was only this past year that I really discovered how much I enjoy graphic novels πŸ’₯ I’ve always liked comic books and graphic novels are just an elevated kind of comic book 🀌🏼

Even though I preordered and listened to the audiobook for Demon in the Wood (blame it on my love for Ben Barnes as a narrator), I also got myself a physical copy because it’s just too gorgeous to pass up 😍 Just like the rest of the Grishaverse books, the naked cover is breathtaking with the most perfect silver embossing on deep purple πŸ’œ I could read this one over and over again (and I probably will)! πŸ“–

Have you read Demon in the Wood? πŸŒ‘
