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? 🕯️

A Very Berry Christmas: Pink Trees and LBDs

A Very Berry Christmas: Pink Trees and LBDs // She Saw Style

Son of a Nutcracker, can you believe we’ve already reached Christmas weekend? Just two more sleeps before the holly jolly holiday, and I’m so unprepared still!  Time for me to turn up some tunes, make some hot cocoa, and get down to business when it comes to wrapping my gifts.  Man, and I used to be so on top of things when I was younger.  I’d have my shopping finished a month in advance, and my wrapping would be done before the 15th.  Guess that’s what happens when you have to adult and your time is sucked up by everything else, huh?  Anyone with me on this?  If only I could have my own Santa’s work-shop with a slew of elves to help me out!

A Very Berry Christmas: Pink Trees and LBDs // She Saw Style

 On a completely separate note, at least I have my outfit put together for Christmas dinner!  This simply beautiful LBD was a lifesaver that I found on supersale at Express.  Originally $60, marked down to $40, and on the clearance rack for 50% off, I was able to score it for only $20!  Can you say “major steal”?  I’m wrecked to say that it’s sold out online, but you can shop some of my favorite holiday LBDs at the bottom of this post!  The second I put it on, I had styled an entire outfit in my head, and when I wore the completed look to visit Quirk Hotel’s new pink Christmas tree, I felt like an absolute princess!

A Very Berry Christmas Backdrop: Pink Trees and LBDs // She Saw Style A Very Berry Christmas: Pink Trees and LBDs // She Saw Style A Very Berry Christmas: Pink Trees and LBDs // She Saw Style A Very Berry Christmas: Pink Trees and LBDs // She Saw Style A Very Berry Christmas: Pink Trees and LBDs // She Saw Style A Very Berry Christmas: Pink Trees and LBDs // She Saw Style A Very Berry Christmas: Pink Trees and LBDs // She Saw Style A Very Berry Christmas: Pink Trees and LBDs // She Saw Style

There’s something so classically elegant about lace and pearls, so I knew I had to accessorize this lace, bell-sleeved dress with my pearl cluster necklace.  I kept to a black theme with opaque black tights and my all time favorite black, pointed-toe booties.  I’ll tell you what, these heels receive more compliments than any other piece in my wardrobe.  They’re comfortable, cute, and match with literally everything, plus they’re less than $30!  Definitely a must-have for your shoe collection!

A Very Berry Christmas: Pink Trees and LBDs // She Saw Style

Alright, before my cocoa gets cold, I’m going to sign off for the weekend and celebrate the true reason for the season.  I hope that everybody has a wonderful holiday, spent with family and loved ones, curled up by the fireside, relishing in the joy brought into our homes on this glorious day!  Merry Christmas, babes!

    This black dress from Express is such a steal for $40! You look beautiful in it and I think it’s just perfect for the holidays. Although you’re wearing an all black ensemble, I think the statement necklace really brings the outfit together with the white contrasting color. Definitely looking so classy here babe.

    That’s a wonderful LBD! 😀 And just for the record, in Sweden we only have one more night to sleep as we celebrate Christmas on the 24th instead of 25th. So actually it being past midnight, it’s already Christmas Eve here 😀 A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS to you babe!

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? 👆🏼

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? 🕯️

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 🖤

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! 🫶🏼
