What's the next backlist book on your TBR? 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm a huge fan of reading backlist books and this year, that has primarily come in the form of rereading my favorites 🫶🏼 I've finished my rereads of the Shades of Magic, Shadow and Bone, and The Hunger Games series - and I'm continuing my rereads of Six of Crows, Renegades, Strange the Dreamer, and All the Stars and Teeth 🙀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Next up on my backlist TBR:
 ☕️ Legends & Lattes (FINALLY - been waiting for this library hold for what feels like a thousand years)
♾️ Stealing Infinity (I received a copy of this from Entangled but it's been sitting on my shelf far too long.. it's time to dive in)
🐍 The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (after my THG reread, I'm ready to jump into this to prep for the upcoming film)
🎤 On the Come Up (I started craving more Angie Thomas after Concrete Rose so this was the natural next step)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read any of these? 👆🏼

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)

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? 🕯️

Our Wedding Reception

If you’ve gotten married, you may understand me when I say that while I loved the ceremony, our wedding reception was my favorite part of the day!

So we got married, and now it’s time to party! Brandon and I entered our wedding reception to the Friends theme song. Everyone thought it was our first dance. It was super awkward and we’re still laughing about it. We set them all straight when “our song,” Like I’m Gonna Lose You began to play. This is “our song” because it was the track playing when Brandon told me that he loved me for the first time, when we had our first kiss, and when he proposed. So naturally it made sense for it to be our first dance as Mr. and Mrs. The moments shared during that dance were so special.

The father-daughter dance was up next, and my dad and I chose a song by Lindsey Stirling. The really neat thing about this selection was that I had introduced him to her music a year or so before, but actually purchased tickets to see her in concert right after the wedding! So we spent most of the time dancing just chatting about how excited we were for her upcoming tour. Brandon danced with his mom last, and they probably had the most sweet and sappy time of all! There was so much love in the room during these songs, and it was a blessing to witness everyone who had come to join us for the celebration.

After the planned dances, came the food and the fun!

Our wedding reception was the talk of the town for one reason – the food. We chose a taco bar for dinner (catered by my brother-in-law) and a s’mores bar for dessert! Everyone raved about how delicious and creative it all was, and that made us so happy. I’ll be honest – I only ate a couple bites of taco, and didn’t even get to taste the s’mores (those bridal nerves are a bear), but I know everyone around me enjoyed them thoroughly.

Brandon’s brother (and best man) gave a really wonderful toast, followed by my sister (and matron-of-honor) whose toast certainly had me in tears. Everyone cheered and enjoyed more food, mingling and chatting about how delicious the tacos were.

After a few margaritas, people started to dance. We had a playlist filled with everything from Michael Jackson and Queen to Disney tracks and more. It was so fun to just let loose after the long day and all the fast-paced activities. This was my favorite part of the entire wedding. I eventually changed out of my wedding gown and into a shorter dress, since Brandon kept stepping on my train. 😂 Then I let loose and danced the night away!

We cut our beautiful naked cake, which was a gift from a friend of mine. Thankfully, B didn’t shove any of it into my face (I kept begging him not to), and a handful of people got to enjoy slices of that, along with the s’mores. Then it was time for our last few songs, and a glow stick send-off! We walked out into the freezing night and laughed along with all our incredible friends and family as they waved the glow sticks in the air to say “goodbye.” Then it was off to our night at the boutique hotel, Graduate Richmond.

    Looks and sounds like it was such a special and memorable celebration!! As it should be!! As a wedding planner for over a decade, I always recommend that couples have a “quiet meal” together before entering their reception. Otherwise, like you sadly did not get to enjoy or really even taste your wedding food. You will cherish these photos and memories forever!

What's the next backlist book on your TBR? 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm a huge fan of reading backlist books and this year, that has primarily come in the form of rereading my favorites 🫶🏼 I've finished my rereads of the Shades of Magic, Shadow and Bone, and The Hunger Games series - and I'm continuing my rereads of Six of Crows, Renegades, Strange the Dreamer, and All the Stars and Teeth 🙀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Next up on my backlist TBR:
 ☕️ Legends & Lattes (FINALLY - been waiting for this library hold for what feels like a thousand years)
♾️ Stealing Infinity (I received a copy of this from Entangled but it's been sitting on my shelf far too long.. it's time to dive in)
🐍 The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (after my THG reread, I'm ready to jump into this to prep for the upcoming film)
🎤 On the Come Up (I started craving more Angie Thomas after Concrete Rose so this was the natural next step)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read any of these? 👆🏼

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)

90-100%: hot coffee in a handcrafted thumb mug ☕️
70-89%: lavender vanilla loose-leaf tea in a clear teacup 🫖
50-69%: dry red wine in a square edge stemmed glass🍷
30-49%: taro milk tea with boba in a reusable tumbler 🧋
0-29%: spiced bourbon on the rocks in a crystal glass 🥃
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Aaaaand now I want to enjoy all of these in the near future 🤤 I normally always have the first three on hand, but ya girl wants to try making bubble tea at home and it's been a hot second since I've had a bourbon or whiskey 🤷🏻‍♀️

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? 🕯️

I absolutely adored The Wonderland Trials and seriously can't wait to dive into the next book, coming in September 2023 🙌🏼 Will you be reading this classic-inspired sequel when it's released? 📖

My emotions are all over the place when it comes to this particular season of the show, so enjoy the chaotic range of emojis based on my premiere day binge sesh:

That’s just scratching the surface, friends 😂 I posted over 100 spoiler-filled stories to my close friends list during premiere day as I binged all 8 episodes, so to say I had a lot of thoughts would be an understatement 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No matter what I thought though (positive or negative), I support this cast and Leigh with my whole heart 🤎 So, I’ll be continuing to stream the season like crazy to get that Crows spin-off/season 3 (and I suggest you do too)! 👌🏼

How do YOU cure a book hangover? 🥴 ⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do YOU cure a book hangover? 🥴
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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 🖤

Which Shadow and Bone character(s) would you want Which Shadow and Bone character(s) would you want to invite to a watch party? 📺
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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 😱 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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! 🫶🏼

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! 🤎

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 🤎
