⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can distinctly pick out a few books that have done this for me in the past year: 
💥 the entire RENEGADES trilogy by @marissameyerauthor
🎼 the audiobook version of DAISY JONES & THE SIX by @tjenkinsreid
👗 A DRESS FOR THE WICKED by @autumnsarahstory
🌳 obviously my fave INTO THE HEARTLESS WOOD by @gamwyn
🖤 all of the SHADES OF MAGIC books by @veschwab
🏖 my arc of THE LUCKY ESCAPE by @laurajaneauthor
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These are the kind of books that create a strong desire to do nothing BUT read (and I love it) 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read any of the books I mentioned? A full review of The Lucky Escape will be on my blog tomorrow! 📚

This is just my weekly reminder to let you all know that I will never be over INTO THE HEARTLESS WOOD by @gamwyn 🌳 I read it for the first time in August 2020 and a second time when it officially released in January 2021 and, yep, you guessed it: I'm already considering reading it again 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now that I have the gorgeous, signed hardcover copy (SWOON 🤩), I feel like I need to "break it in" (but like... you know... GENTLY) ✌🏼 If you haven't gotten to read this beautifully haunting and epic tale of tree siren monster girl, Seren, and cinnamon roll astronomer boy, Owen, then you're TOTALLY MISSING OUT 😳 You better get your hands on it right away! 📖

One Casual Chic Fall Sweater Outfit to Copy Right Now


Raise your hand if you’re a sucker for a cozy, oversized sweater! I know I am.

While fitted knits have their special place in this world, when the weather gets cooler, I’m always going to reach for my chunky, boxy sweaters. These are the pieces that I gravitate towards on a daily basis. During autumn and winter, I usually just pick out a sweater and a pair of denim and call it a day. There’s not a ton that goes into the process of outfit-building, because it really doesn’t need to be that challenging.

For this look, I chose a pair of mom jeans rather than my typical high-waisted skinnies. I like the lighter wash and the loose fit. I think the whole reason mom jeans are so appealing is that they’re comfortable. The style is “mom-friendly” because it doesn’t constrict or tuck in any odd places and you can bend, reach, or pretzel without restraint. This isn’t the normal choice to wear with a boxy sweater. Usually it’s a no-no to pair an oversized top with a wide bottom. However, I’ll be honest: I don’t care. Keep reading to learn why.


shop the post
cream sweater | light wash mom jeans | cognac handbag | similar tan loafers | similar gold layered necklace

Why did I choose to wear these two items together? Because comfort can still be stylish.

Rather than letting my boxy sweater flap around in the wind, I utilized a French tuck (that mini tuck in the front of the pants) to create the illusion of a slimmer waistline. I also rolled up my sleeves, just slightly, so I didn’t have them over my knuckles (no matter how comforting that is). With just those simple customizations, my ensemble went from potentially frumpy to cozy-chic.

I would wear this outfit again in a heartbeat – and I have. It’s a very practical errand-running look, but I could just as easily see myself in this on Thanksgiving! I am thrilled that this particular soft-as-clouds $20 sweater is available in a few other colors as well. I’m eyeing the deep green for Christmas!

What are some of your favorite dystopian novels? 🔥
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This was one of the first questions I asked when I joined bookstagram, but I wanted to revisit it because this community has grown and I'm curious to see if I'll get any unfamiliar responses! 🤔
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I recently began reading Escaping Eleven (big thank-you to @entangledteen for sending this copy my way) and I'm really enjoying the Fallout-meets-Divergent kinda vibes 🏢

Controversial question time: is A Court of Thorns Controversial question time: is A Court of Thorns and Roses (the series) really worth all the hype? 😳
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is something I've been considering a lot since joining bookstagram 📱 Up until last year, I didn't even know this was a popular series at all - let alone possibly the MOST popular series (in the bookish world) 🤯 And it's not just popular because it's loved; there are a lot of mixed thoughts on this fandom as a whole 🧚🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the past few months, I took it upon myself to read all the books leading up to A Court of Silver Flames and I'm getting BRUTALLY HONEST on the blog with my thoughts regarding this fantasy series 🤭 If you're curious, head to the link in my bio to check it out 🔗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
SIDE NOTE: Thank you so much to everyone who has reached out to me with care and concern for my sweet kitty, Luna 🥺 Your encouragement, prayers, and positivity have been invaluable during this challenging time and I feel so blessed to have this supportive community in my life 🤎

What's the last book that made you SQUIRM? 🥴
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been looking forward to reading THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS, primarily due to the amount of mixed reviews (I love forming my own opinion on super hyped books 🙈), but I guess I didn't read those reviews very well because I was not expecting for it to make my HEART RACE 🫀 BLOOD PUMP 🩸 and SKIN CRAWL 🐛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After a couple of chapters, I checked out the author's note on Goodreads and was grateful that she did, in fact, give content warnings 👏🏼 It's not for the faint of heart, that's for sure 😹

Have you read this 1920's-Shanghai-gang-Romeo-&-Juliet retelling? 🗡

I knew from the moment I decided to join booksta that my name had to reflect what I wanted to photograph - and I desperately wanted to get creative with coffee and books! ☕️📚 I kept trying to think of interesting combinations that expressed what I’d be sharing but nothing felt satisfactory until... THE ESPRESSO EDITION popped into my head and I went OMG THAT’S IT!!! 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the prizes for my bookstaversary giveaway was a custom The Espresso Edition candle from @janzywaxco 🕯 There was just one problem: after the giveaway ended, I realized that I wanted one for myself 😂 Janzy is the BEST and made a second one just for me - complete with the PERFECT scent profile:

🍁 MAPLE SPICE
🎃 PUMPKIN
🥮 CARAMEL

Do you participate in book clubs (or group/buddy r Do you participate in book clubs (or group/buddy reads)? 🤝
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had never been part of a book club until I joined bookstagram 😱 I've participated in a few virtual ones in the last year and now I'm HOSTING MY OWN 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yesterday was the first group discussion for February's pick: Wicked Lovely 🦋 This is one of my favorite books/series of all time, so introducing it to my friends (and finding others who have already read it and wanted to reread) is SO much fun 🥳
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Should I keep this virtual book club/group read going and pick a new title for next month? 📖
