I'm currently reading two books that are closely related with things (outside of reading) that I love: the NBA and Marvel πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Shot Clock by @justinwritesya and Caron Butler (ARC) is a middle-grade novel all about heart, hope, and of course lots of great basketball πŸ€ This has been the perfect book to read while I watch the NBA conference finals β›ΉπŸΎ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
We Were Dreamers: An Immigrant Superhero Origin Story by @simuliu has been absolutely phenomenal 😍 I've been a huge fan of Simu for quite some time and learning more about his family, his life, and how he became Shang-Chi has been really incredible πŸ’₯ Plus, he narrates the audiobook 🎧
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
It's really great to discover books that relate to my other interests because it just makes me feel so comforted and happy! 🀍 Now I need more books about superheroes and basketball πŸ˜‰
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Are either of these books on your TBR? πŸ“š

βš“οΈ All the Stars and Teeth by Adalyn Grace

I lost my cool (in the best way) when @what_eats_owls announced the release date for Painted Devils, the gorgeous sequel to Little Thieves! πŸ₯€ It's going to be torturous waiting a whole year, but I know it'll also be totally worth it! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I also can't count the number of times I've watched the trailer for First Kill - the upcoming Netflix show based on @veschwab's short story in Vampires Never Get Old: Tales with Fresh Bite πŸ§›πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ It's been quite some time since I was this excited for a vampire show 🩸
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
And in YA romance news, I'm geeking out over the cover and title reveal for @dilemmalord's next book! 🀍 It sounds like it'll be the perfect way to kick off 2023 (yes, yes I am thinking that far ahead and pondering which Taylor Swift song to pair with the release) πŸ™ˆ

Do you DNF books? πŸ™…πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
This has been such a controversial topic for so long and I've personally struggled with it A LOT πŸ™ˆ For years, I refused to quit reading a book unless the subject matter was too triggering or frightening for me to handle 🫣 I would even go so far as to read entire series that I literally didn't like, just to see if the books got any better and changed my mind 🧠
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
HOWEVER... this recently changed for me! πŸ™€ This month, I chose to put down four books that weren't serving me - and it was so insanely freeing! 🍾 I felt like a weight was lifted off me, not forcing myself to read things I wasn't into - and while I still might give some books the benefit of the doubt and finish them (some of my favorite books of all time started off with me feeling very so-so about them)... I will no longer be struggling my way through series I'm not enjoying or novels that make me feel uneasy πŸ™ŒπŸΌ 
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you ever almost DNF'd a book that you wound up loving? 🀎 Which was it? πŸ“–

I'm all about underrated books and try to recommend my faves on a regular basis because I think that they deserve just as much love as the hyped books 🀎 BUT I also enjoy reading my fair share of hyped books (even if they don't always live up to the hype) πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
The last few books I read that 100% lived up to the hype were:
🐐 Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez (this book made me feel so seen it was unreal. I wept several times)
πŸͺ· Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer (I was so thrilled with how much I enjoyed this fantasy)
πŸ’„ The No-Show by Beth O'Leary (this author is usually a winner for me and her latest release didn't disappoint)
πŸ› The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake (I was unsure for the first 3rd of the book but it wound up being a 5-star read by the end!)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

Your Ultimate Guide to Outfit-Shopping for Fall

It’s time to begin preparing for the upcoming season, and that means shopping for the perfect outfits you need for autumn. H&M is my go-to spot for affordable items.

It’s no secret that I absolutely adore autumn. I’ve been noisy about my dislike for summer this year, and I think that having a car without air conditioning is what really closed the deal for me. I’d be happiest in a place where it never got hotter than 70Β°. Brisk autumn mornings, hot coffee, foggy backyards, and fall foliage is calling my name already – and we’re only a little more than halfway through August.

Now, I’m not your typical candy corn and PSL-kinda gal, but I do love a lot of “basic” autumn pleasantries. One of those things includes shopping for my fall wardrobe.Β H&M has already begun updating their new arrivals to include pieces that are made for transitioning seasons. I’ve snagged a couple of them over the past few weeks. Sweaters that will keep me cozy through the next few chilly seasons, a pullover that I wore the day I bought it (despite the 90Β°+ temperatures), a sweatshirt that I literally lusted after for a month straight until my husband convinced me to buy it, andΒ a pair of mom pants that are totally outside my comfort zone and yet I’m already loving them!

10 Essential Outfits You Need for Autumn

I wanted to make your fall fashion shopping as easy as possible, so I raided theΒ H&M website and put together 10 outfits, comprised of pieces that range between $10-70 for all manner of budgets.

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I also can't count the number of times I've watched the trailer for First Kill - the upcoming Netflix show based on @veschwab's short story in Vampires Never Get Old: Tales with Fresh Bite πŸ§›πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ It's been quite some time since I was this excited for a vampire show 🩸
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
And in YA romance news, I'm geeking out over the cover and title reveal for @dilemmalord's next book! 🀍 It sounds like it'll be the perfect way to kick off 2023 (yes, yes I am thinking that far ahead and pondering which Taylor Swift song to pair with the release) πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Are you excited about any of these bits of bookish news? πŸ“°

Do you DNF books? πŸ™…πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
This has been such a controversial topic for so long and I've personally struggled with it A LOT πŸ™ˆ For years, I refused to quit reading a book unless the subject matter was too triggering or frightening for me to handle 🫣 I would even go so far as to read entire series that I literally didn't like, just to see if the books got any better and changed my mind 🧠
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
HOWEVER... this recently changed for me! πŸ™€ This month, I chose to put down four books that weren't serving me - and it was so insanely freeing! 🍾 I felt like a weight was lifted off me, not forcing myself to read things I wasn't into - and while I still might give some books the benefit of the doubt and finish them (some of my favorite books of all time started off with me feeling very so-so about them)... I will no longer be struggling my way through series I'm not enjoying or novels that make me feel uneasy πŸ™ŒπŸΌ 
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you ever almost DNF'd a book that you wound up loving? 🀎 Which was it? πŸ“–

What was the last hyped book you read that actuall What was the last hyped book you read that actually did live up to the hype? πŸ’₯
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I'm all about underrated books and try to recommend my faves on a regular basis because I think that they deserve just as much love as the hyped books 🀎 BUT I also enjoy reading my fair share of hyped books (even if they don't always live up to the hype) πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
The last few books I read that 100% lived up to the hype were:
🐐 Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez (this book made me feel so seen it was unreal. I wept several times)
πŸͺ· Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer (I was so thrilled with how much I enjoyed this fantasy)
πŸ’„ The No-Show by Beth O'Leary (this author is usually a winner for me and her latest release didn't disappoint)
πŸ› The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake (I was unsure for the first 3rd of the book but it wound up being a 5-star read by the end!)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Are any of these hyped books on your TBR? πŸ“š

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
As you all know very well, I'm not the type of person to purchase books unless I've read them first (my exception being sequels to books I own or authors who never let me down) πŸ™ˆ That being said, I'm pretty picky about which books I DO spend my money on πŸ’³
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I recently did a bit of a haul on #IndependentBookstoreDay to get my hands on some of my favorite books from the past year and I can't wait to have them in my hands soon! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ Below is the list of titles I ordered from my favorite indie shops:
πŸ› The Atlas Six
πŸ‘» Gallant
✨ The Kindred
πŸ“± The Boyfriend Project
πŸ’› Life's Too Short
🎈 All Fired Up (pre-order, since I loved the arc)

Okay, SO, this book isn't actually out in the world yet πŸ™ˆ BUT since I haven't seen too much about it on bookstagram, I figured it's my job to help screech about how fantastic it is! πŸ“’
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
While the gorgeous cover was certainly what drew me in (this has now landed in my top 3 fave covers of all time 😍), the story was absolutely BRILLIANT and I think everyone needs to add it to their July TBR! πŸ“š You're definitely going to want to get your hands on this masterpiece 🀍

What are your favorite fictional books with mental What are your favorite fictional books with mental health rep? πŸ“š
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Did you know that May is Mental Health Month? πŸ’š As someone who has battled with anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder for a great deal of my life, well written mental health rep in books is so important to me! πŸ“– It's always so encouraging to pick up a novel and feel truly seen while turning the pages πŸ‘€
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A few books that have really stood out to me because of their mental health rep are:
β€’ The Midnight Library by Matt Haig (this book quite literally changed my life and it's still one that I turn to whenever I'm struggling)
β€’ The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by VE Schwab
β€’ A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A Brown
β€’ The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman (this is another comfort book for me because I've never found another character quite as much like me as Nina)
β€’ Amelia Unabridged by Ashley Schumacher
β€’ Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert
β€’ The Sound of Stars by Alechia Dow
β€’ This Might Get Awkward by Kara McDowell (this author knows how to write about anxiety in a way that's more relatable than I've seen in nearly any other book)
β€’ It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini (this book got me through high school - in more ways than one)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you read any of these wonderful, healing books? β˜•οΈ
