For me, it was WE ARE ALL SO GOOD AT SMILING by @ambsmcbride 📖 I read this in one sitting and cried crocodile tears through 80% of it 🐊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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)

Have you read this book or is it on your TBR? ☕️

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? 🕯️

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 🖤

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.  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.  Music inspires and heals, and it also brings people together.  Brandon and I met at a wedding reception, and I can still remember that “Uptown Funk” was playing.  I also remember the song that played during our first kiss.  Music gives us memories to hold on to.  Sometimes they’re happy and sometimes they’re sad, but they’re always beautiful because they’re part of our story.  It’s poetic in a way.  For me, music was a huge part of the healing process when I was struggling with depression.  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.  It’s incredible the way it can change our lives for the better.

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

 I asked Brandon to describe his music taste, and this is what he told me: “My love for music actually stems from the golden age of hip hop.  It’s when I learned to actually be really passionate about music for the first time.  My brother introduced me to it and from then on it was just something I absolutely loved.”  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?  Well, I love just about any kind of music there is.  It’s something that’s so incredibly healing.  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.  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 when Sudio Sweden reached out to collaborate with us as a couple.  Sudio creates earbuds which possess studio quality sound in a chic design.  I have worked with them in the past, and loved their product so much, that it was a no-brainer to work together again!  They sent Brandon and me two pairs of their Sudio Vasa Blå models.  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).  My favorite part?  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!  You can purchase these fantastic earbuds for 15% off using my code “SheSawStyle” and I 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.  No matter where we go or what we do, there’s a song on that keeps us moving and grooving together.  If you ever pull up next to us at a stoplight, there’s a very high probability that you’ll find us dancing in our seats or singing at the top of our lungs.  Tell me a story of how music has changed your life for the better or brought you closer to someone!

    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. 🙂

    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. 🙂
    Such a cute post featuring you as a couple!

      Music is an incredible thing, for sure. It’s crazy how it can bring back memories (good and bad), and bring people together as well. 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!

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? 🕯️

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 🖤

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 😱

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! 🤎

Have you read any of these? 📚

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 🤎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you subscribed to any new book boxes lately? 📚

What are some of your favorite cozy fantasies? ☕ What are some of your favorite cozy fantasies? ☕️

I love that this is becoming more of a popular sub-genre because I am all about cozy vibes all the time 🤎 

I’ve read The House in the Cerulean Sea, adored A Psalm for the Wild-Built and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, and I have been waiting for my copy of Legends and Lattes at the library for eons, so suggest something NEW! 😉

Have you read this book (or any of the ones I mentioned)? 📚
