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 🔮

30 New Book Releases in February 2023 to Add to Your Reading List by The Espresso Edition cozy lifestyle and book blog

The new book releases in February 2023 are absolutely spectacular. There are so many great titles to choose from that I know my digital TBR is about to overflow!

Whether you’re a fan of cute romances just in time for Valentine’s Day or you’re in the mood for a wild fantasy adventure, the February releases have something that’s sure to satisfy your craving. Something I noticed is that there are a lot of sequels coming out this month, which is super fun. It reminded me that I need to start a few of those series so I can catch up!

I’ve reformatted this style of blog post to be a little less cluttered and a little more about supporting your favorite authors by pre-ordering or buying their new releases! You can scroll through and click the StoryGraph links to be redirected to each individual synopsis, as well as their trigger and content warnings and any ratings or reviews I may have left for them. I hope this post helps you find a few new novels to add to your reading list in February.

    There are some good picks in here, but many of these are unfamiliar to me (until now). When I saw the book cover for IMMORTALITY: A LOVE STORY I thought it was the coolest thing. Have you read the first one yet? I think it’s called Anatomy or something? It’s been on my radar for a while because I keep seeing it on Book Outlet, but I’ve held off because I think it’s YA and I’ve been shoving those farther down my list lately.

      I have seen Anatomy but the content warnings for it have kept me from reading it. I think it would be a bit too triggering for me, unfortunately.

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! 🤎

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)? 📚
