Why did you join bookstagram? πŸ“– β €β €β €β €β € Why did you join bookstagram? πŸ“–
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Long story short, I joined bookstagram in 2020 because I love books and I love talking about books, but I never had a space to do that πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ After years of fashion blogging and feeling out of place because of my interests, I wound up on this side of IG and realized that it felt like home 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I schemed up a name (something to do with coffee and books that didn't have the words "coffee" or "books" in it), took a few photos, created a profile, and went to town πŸ™ŒπŸΌ It wasn't long before I completely FELL IN LOVE with the supportive community, safe space to find new books and talk about the ones I love, and really cultivate my photography skills (which had been lying dormant for far too long) πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Now, I'm thrilled to have connected with favorite authors, created my own hashtag (hey there #perfectespressopour β˜•οΈ), reviewed incredible books, launched my own line of merch, and made tons of new friends 🫢🏼 When I begin to feel down about the numbers or the lack of inspiration, I remind myself of why I started in the first place and I find myself falling in love all over again πŸ₯Ή
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Thank you for being part of my bookstagram journey πŸ“š

Tell me your most recent "new-to-you" fave author Tell me your most recent "new-to-you" fave author and which book made you fall in love with their work πŸ“š
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A couple months back, I had the privilege of reading an advanced copy of The Wonderland Trials by @saraellawrites... and I immediately fell head over heels in love 😍 Needless to say, I instantly added her entire backlist to my TBR πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Lately, I've been feeling a bit disappointed with fantasy (which has always been my favorite genre) πŸ˜• It seems like each time I pick one up, I'm either completely uninterested in the story or it just falls flat - but The Wonderland Trials absolutely blew me away! 🀯 If you're looking for something that really stands out amongst the rest, you certainly need to pick this one up! 🫢🏼

Have you read any great Alice in Wonderland reimaginings? πŸ‡

Recommend me an underrated queer book! πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
In my world, every month is #pridemonth and I always, always have queer books on my TBR (not just white mlm, but a wide range of lgbtqia+ stories) πŸ™ŒπŸΌ It's important to me to constantly be diversifying my shelves, learning more about the people around me, and continuing to create a safe environment for everyone in my little corner of the web 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
My goal for June was to pack my TBR with as many queer books as I could in CELEBRATION of Pride Month, so I've already read 4 books with lgbtq rep:
πŸ¦‰ Wild is the Witch by Rachel Griffin
🌎 The Never Tilting World by Rin Chupeco
πŸ“Ί The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun
🌌 Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefluer
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I'm currently reading 3:
πŸ«– A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers
🩸 Blood Like Magic by Liselle Sambury
πŸ–Œ Portrait of a Thief by Grace D Li
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
 And I have 2 more on my immediate list:
πŸ₯€ Malice by Heather Walter
β˜€οΈ Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you read any of these? πŸ“š

Favorite Shadow and Bone character? 🦌 β €β €β € Favorite Shadow and Bone character? 🦌
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I'm officially considering this Shadow and Bone week, between celebrating the 10th anniversary of the book and finding out about Ben narrating the Demon in the Wood audiobook! πŸ₯‚ 
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Also, catch me counting down the days until when I get to see my babies on-screen again (can we get a season 2 premiere date, please?) πŸ“Ί
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
To answer my own question, Genya is my very favorite Shadow and Bone character 🀍 In fact, I have plans for a Genya tattoo in the near future πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Are you as excited for the audiobook and season 2 of the show as I am? 🀩

Do you have a favorite book dedication? ✍🏼
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I've found a few recently that have definitely stood out to me πŸ‘€ Sometimes a dedication sets the mood for the book and that's something I really love! 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A few that have blown my mind recently are:
πŸͺž GALLANT (pictured) by VE Schwab
πŸ‘‘ FOR THE THRONE (actually, both of The Wilderwood books have fabulous dedications) by Hannah Whitten
πŸ›« EARLY DEPARTURES by Justin A. Reynolds
πŸ“– THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY by Matt Haig
πŸ’” ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART by Stephanie Garber
πŸ₯˜ WITH THE FIRE ON HIGH by Elizabeth Acevedo
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you read any of these magnificent books? πŸ“š

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
When I read THE ATLAS SIX in April, I was blown away by how unique it was! 🀯 I have never in my life read another book like it and that's part of why it got 5 stars from me ⭐️ Sure, it started at a slower pace but the further the story progressed, the more fascinating it was (and the pacing at the beginning made far more sense because it led to absolute BRILLIANCE) πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

I definitely do! 🫢🏼 In the past few years, I've read more and more books like this and they always leave me feeling utterly fascinated (and maybe a little confused?) πŸ€” I gotta say that writing reviews for them can be a bit tough, but reading them is a lot of fun πŸ™ˆ

I definitely do! πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ One of the most pleasant surprises when I opened up GALLANT was seeing the hauntingly beautiful pieces of art inside πŸ–€ It made the story feel more alive and helped me understand the way the character's mind worked 🧠
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
There was a similar feeling when I first read THE ATLAS SIX and saw the character art 🎨 It gave the cast so much more depth and it made me wish that more books included pieces like this πŸ“–

Other additions that make books stand out to me:
πŸ“° Unique chapter breaks (I read a basketball book that was divided into 4 quarters, and a book about an actor divided into acts, things like that)

The Rhythm of Us: Music Joins Us Together

The Rhythm of Us: Music Joins Us Together // She Saw Style

Music is more than just instruments and vocals, a rhythm and noise. Β It’s something that’s all around us, whether we find it in the birds chirping, the sound of a baby cooing, or even in the chaos of a big city. Β Music inspires and heals, and it also brings people together. Β Brandon and I met at a wedding reception, and I can still remember that “Uptown Funk” was playing. Β I also remember the song that played during our first kiss. Β Music gives us memories to hold on to. Β Sometimes they’re happy and sometimes they’re sad, but they’re always beautiful because they’re part of our story. Β It’s poetic in a way. Β For me, music was a huge part of the healing process when I was struggling with depression. Β At the time, I was really inspired by lyrics and the impact they could have on my mood. I took musical theatre for 6 years and it was the one place I could say felt like home during high school. Β It’s incredible the way it can change our lives for the better.

The Rhythm of Us: Music Joins Us Together // She Saw Style

Β I asked Brandon to describe his music taste, and this is what he told me:Β “My love for music actually stems from the goldenΒ age of hip hop. Β It’s when I learned to actually be really passionate about music for the first time. Β My brother introduced me to it and from then on it was just something I absolutely loved.” Β You can find Brandon’s #NowPlaying playlist right here!

The Rhythm of Us: Music Joins Us Together // She Saw Style

As far as my music tastes? Β Well, I love just about any kind of music there is. Β It’s something that’s so incredibly healing. Β So whether I wake up and start listening to an instrumental track to get a comfortable start to my morning, or I’m blasting Lady Gaga’s newest album, there’s always something playing because it truly makes me feel alive. Β You can find my #NowPlaying playlist right here!

Because music is such a huge part of both my life and Brandon’s, I was thrilled whenΒ Sudio Sweden reached out to collaborate with us as a couple. Β Sudio creates earbuds which possess studio quality sound in a chic design. Β I have worked withΒ themΒ in the past, and loved their product so much, that it was a no-brainer to work together again! Β They sent Brandon and me two pairs of theirΒ Sudio Vasa BlΓ₯ models. Β These headphones are wireless – perfect to use with the new iPhone 7 – and come with multiple in-ear sleeves (which works out well for my tiny ears). Β My favorite part? Β Their anti-tangle cable, which allows me to easily throw them into their sleek, leather pouch or my pocket with no concern of taking a decade to unravel them when I pull them back out! Β You can purchase these fantastic earbuds for 15% off using my code “SheSawStyle” and IΒ promise you won’t regret it! These would also make a wonderful Christmas gift!

While our music tastes might be incredibly different, I’m grateful that we both love it so much. Β No matter where we go or what we do, there’sΒ a song on that keeps us moving and grooving together. Β If you ever pull up next to us at a stoplight, there’s a very high probabilityΒ that you’ll find us dancing in our seats or singing at the top of our lungs. Β Tell me a story of how music has changedΒ your life for the better or brought you closer to someone!

      Oh my goodness, that is so true! I know that even just partial melodies will remind me of moments in my life. It’s crazy how music can have that effect on you! I’m so happy to hear of another Sudio fan! They’re such incredible-quality earbuds, aren’t they? We love them!

      Ahhh did you see how different they are? It makes me laugh how completely opposite the two of us are, but we both love music together. It’s funny but cool at the same time. Music is a magical thing for sure!

    Maybe Madonna was right when she was singing “Music, makes the people, come together”… not that the song itself was much to cheer about, but music truly is an universal language! I also love these Sudio earplugs! They’re so pretty in their design, and sure, I’m partial as they’re Swedish. πŸ™‚

Whether it’s because you both love the same kind of music, or both just love music in general – like B and me – it’s really cool! Oh these headphones are incredible! I have two pairs from them because I love them that much. They are the best!

Why did you join bookstagram? πŸ“– β €β €β €β €β € Why did you join bookstagram? πŸ“–
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Long story short, I joined bookstagram in 2020 because I love books and I love talking about books, but I never had a space to do that πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ After years of fashion blogging and feeling out of place because of my interests, I wound up on this side of IG and realized that it felt like home 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I schemed up a name (something to do with coffee and books that didn't have the words "coffee" or "books" in it), took a few photos, created a profile, and went to town πŸ™ŒπŸΌ It wasn't long before I completely FELL IN LOVE with the supportive community, safe space to find new books and talk about the ones I love, and really cultivate my photography skills (which had been lying dormant for far too long) πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Now, I'm thrilled to have connected with favorite authors, created my own hashtag (hey there #perfectespressopour β˜•οΈ), reviewed incredible books, launched my own line of merch, and made tons of new friends 🫢🏼 When I begin to feel down about the numbers or the lack of inspiration, I remind myself of why I started in the first place and I find myself falling in love all over again πŸ₯Ή
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Thank you for being part of my bookstagram journey πŸ“š

Tell me your most recent "new-to-you" fave author Tell me your most recent "new-to-you" fave author and which book made you fall in love with their work πŸ“š
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A couple months back, I had the privilege of reading an advanced copy of The Wonderland Trials by @saraellawrites... and I immediately fell head over heels in love 😍 Needless to say, I instantly added her entire backlist to my TBR πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Lately, I've been feeling a bit disappointed with fantasy (which has always been my favorite genre) πŸ˜• It seems like each time I pick one up, I'm either completely uninterested in the story or it just falls flat - but The Wonderland Trials absolutely blew me away! 🀯 If you're looking for something that really stands out amongst the rest, you certainly need to pick this one up! 🫢🏼

In my world, every month is #pridemonth and I always, always have queer books on my TBR (not just white mlm, but a wide range of lgbtqia+ stories) πŸ™ŒπŸΌ It's important to me to constantly be diversifying my shelves, learning more about the people around me, and continuing to create a safe environment for everyone in my little corner of the web 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
My goal for June was to pack my TBR with as many queer books as I could in CELEBRATION of Pride Month, so I've already read 4 books with lgbtq rep:
πŸ¦‰ Wild is the Witch by Rachel Griffin
🌎 The Never Tilting World by Rin Chupeco
πŸ“Ί The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun
🌌 Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefluer
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I'm currently reading 3:
πŸ«– A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers
🩸 Blood Like Magic by Liselle Sambury
πŸ–Œ Portrait of a Thief by Grace D Li
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
 And I have 2 more on my immediate list:
πŸ₯€ Malice by Heather Walter
β˜€οΈ Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you read any of these? πŸ“š

Favorite Shadow and Bone character? 🦌 β €β €β € Favorite Shadow and Bone character? 🦌
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I'm officially considering this Shadow and Bone week, between celebrating the 10th anniversary of the book and finding out about Ben narrating the Demon in the Wood audiobook! πŸ₯‚ 
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Also, catch me counting down the days until when I get to see my babies on-screen again (can we get a season 2 premiere date, please?) πŸ“Ί
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
To answer my own question, Genya is my very favorite Shadow and Bone character 🀍 In fact, I have plans for a Genya tattoo in the near future πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Are you as excited for the audiobook and season 2 of the show as I am? 🀩

Do you have a favorite book dedication? ✍🏼
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I've found a few recently that have definitely stood out to me πŸ‘€ Sometimes a dedication sets the mood for the book and that's something I really love! 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A few that have blown my mind recently are:
πŸͺž GALLANT (pictured) by VE Schwab
πŸ‘‘ FOR THE THRONE (actually, both of The Wilderwood books have fabulous dedications) by Hannah Whitten
πŸ›« EARLY DEPARTURES by Justin A. Reynolds
πŸ“– THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY by Matt Haig
πŸ’” ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART by Stephanie Garber
πŸ₯˜ WITH THE FIRE ON HIGH by Elizabeth Acevedo
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you read any of these magnificent books? πŸ“š

Is there a book you've read this year that is unli Is there a book you've read this year that is unlike anything else you've ever read? πŸ“–
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
When I read THE ATLAS SIX in April, I was blown away by how unique it was! 🀯 I have never in my life read another book like it and that's part of why it got 5 stars from me ⭐️ Sure, it started at a slower pace but the further the story progressed, the more fascinating it was (and the pacing at the beginning made far more sense because it led to absolute BRILLIANCE) πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I don't read much dark academia, so recommend some titles to me (THAT AREN'T AS WELL KNOWN) that you've enjoyed! πŸ›

I definitely do! 🫢🏼 In the past few years, I've read more and more books like this and they always leave me feeling utterly fascinated (and maybe a little confused?) πŸ€” I gotta say that writing reviews for them can be a bit tough, but reading them is a lot of fun πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Books I enjoy that are no plot, just vibes:
🐝 The Starless Sea
πŸŽͺ The Night Circus
πŸ’ƒπŸ» Where Dreams Descend
πŸͺΆ The Raven Cycle
πŸšͺ The Ten Thousand Doors of January

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I definitely do! πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ One of the most pleasant surprises when I opened up GALLANT was seeing the hauntingly beautiful pieces of art inside πŸ–€ It made the story feel more alive and helped me understand the way the character's mind worked 🧠
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
There was a similar feeling when I first read THE ATLAS SIX and saw the character art 🎨 It gave the cast so much more depth and it made me wish that more books included pieces like this πŸ“–
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Other additions that make books stand out to me:
πŸ“° Unique chapter breaks (I read a basketball book that was divided into 4 quarters, and a book about an actor divided into acts, things like that)
πŸ’¬ Text messages
πŸ—Ί Maps
✍🏼 Handwriting (especially in the form of letters or lists)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

Leave me a string of emojis that describe your cur Leave me a string of emojis that describe your current read (or title) and I'll try to guess it πŸ™ƒ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I haven't done this in a while and I'm usually pretty terrible at it, but it's fun and I'm always curious how people describe their CR with emojis πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Here are mine:
Book 1: πŸ‘‘πŸ¦΄πŸ©ΈπŸŽ
Book 2: πŸ“–πŸ‘©πŸΌβ€β€οΈβ€πŸ‘¨πŸ»πŸš€πŸ’«
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Okay, maybe those were awful emoji descriptions, but it sure was fun to try and get creative with them πŸ˜‚ And in case you were curious, my books are For the Throne (arc) and Bookish and the Beast πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Are either of these on your TBR? πŸ“š
