I was SO thrilled when I saw @kristinaforest's announcement for The Partner Plot, an adult romance that follows Violet (the older sister of Lily from The Neighbor Favor) and her high school sweetheart 🩷 It's coming out in the spring of 2024 and I'm already counting down the days until it's in my hands πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

A few years ago, I devoured The Daevabad Trilogy and completely fell in love with the absolutely magnificent world-building 😍
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Adult fantasy can be tricky if you're used to the pacing in YA fantasy, but after some time, you might find that you really enjoy the way that the story develops πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Some of my favorite completed adult fantasy series:
πŸ’š The Green Bone Saga (Jade City, Jade War, Jade Legacy)
πŸ§›πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ All Souls (A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, The Book of Life)
🐺 The Wilderwood (For the Wolf, For the Throne)
⏳ Shades of Magic (A Darker Shade of Magic, A Gathering of Shadows, A Conjuring of Light)

I certainly felt that about a few of the books I read this past month, but especially:
πŸ«– The Tea Dragon Society - this entire MG graphic novel trilogy just warmed my heart so much. It's precious and wonderful and if you haven't read it, please do because you won't be able to wipe the smile off your face.
πŸ” Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers - within the first couple of chapters, I was belly-laughing so hard I was crying. This was hilarious and adorable and I didn't want it to end. I immediately began recommending it to everyone. 
⛱️ Happy Place - because of course! I mean, this book did make me sob my eyes out multiple times, but it also made me belly laugh more than once as well. It was perfect in every way and very quickly became my second fave of Emily's books (just after PWMOV)!
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Thank goodness I'm a big fan of rereading because I know I'll be revisiting all of these books again in the future πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

The Secret to a Date Night Outfit That Wows!

In this post I’m going to share my secret to creating a date night outfit that totally wows!

I’ve been around the block, and gone on my fair share of dates. I may be getting married soon but that doesn’t mean I’ll quit shopping for those dynamite looks to totally knock B off his feet!

Here is what I’ve learned:

Show some skin, but not too much! This isn’tΒ Pretty Woman, and classy is always synonymous with sexy.

You’ll notice in my outfit, I chose a shorter skirt, but a higher neckline. I focused on my long legs and even flattered them with some high heels, but I didn’t want to overly reveal by wearing a plunging neckline as well. This was the perfect middle ground.

Choose a color that makes you comfortable. Whether that’s your favorite color, or just one you know looks amazing with your skin tone.

I went with black and pops of gold. Black is always sexy in my opinion, and I feel super confident in it. Gold flatters my skin tone, so I knew the combo would be smashing!

Keep bold accessories to a minimum. If you’re wearing bright red sunnies, a printed scarf around your neck, a lip print purse, a yellow hat, and feather earrings – your date might be too distracted to focus on the true beauty: your face.

Like most gals, I love me some accessories, and I even gathered a few of my favorites together for this look. I didn’t, however, go overboard – and I stayed with my color scheme. A pair of gold earrings, a crossbody bag, some killer heels, and a fun baker boy hat were all I needed to take this look to the next level.


Outfit Details
star print skirt + blouse | heels | hat c/o Lipton Publicity | earrings c/o Spirited & Co | similar bag

Of course I can’t close out this post without mentioning my very biggest, top secret, super important tip –

Wear a smile!

It’s cheesy, but it’s true. A confident woman is an attractive woman, and if you don’t feel confident quite yet, just know that fashion is a great place to start. When you feel beautiful on the outside, that confidence within begins to show and your beauty only increases!

Don’t push away those pre-date jitters because they’ll keep you exhilarated throughout the evening. Just keep smiling, and soon, not only will your date be smiling back, but you’ll notice that you’re having more fun than you could’ve imagined!

Alright, so those were a few extra tidbits aside from just creating a fabulous date night look, but they’re all coming from experience, so now I can only hope my experiences help you make marvelous memories!

Such a cute date night look! I agree with all of your tips, and would add that a subtle tease can be a little sexy. For example I might wear black leggings with a white-button down to work with a nude bra underneath….and then before I meet up with my fiance I might change into a black bra underneath instead for a slightly sexier look.

I was SO thrilled when I saw @kristinaforest's announcement for The Partner Plot, an adult romance that follows Violet (the older sister of Lily from The Neighbor Favor) and her high school sweetheart 🩷 It's coming out in the spring of 2024 and I'm already counting down the days until it's in my hands πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I've been starting (and completing) a lot of series this year πŸ™ŒπŸΌ Admittedly, half of them are rereads, but they still count, right? πŸ˜…
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Series rereads I've finished this year:
🌊 All the Stars and Teeth
🏹 The Hunger Games
🦌 Shadow and Bone
❣️ Shades of Magic
πŸ¦β€β¬› Six of Crows
πŸ‚ Heartstopper (up to date)
πŸ¦ΈπŸ»β€β™€οΈ Renegades
 
Series I've finished this year (not rereads):
πŸ’š The Green Bone Saga
πŸ₯° Jansen Brothers
🌲 Lovelight Farms
πŸ” Truly Devious (trilogy - still working on the continuations)
πŸ«– The Tea Dragon Society
πŸ§šπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ These Hollow Vows
πŸƒ The Cardplay Duology
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I've also started several more, but I'm most proud of the ones I've completed βœ… There's something so satisfying about finishing a series, don't you think? πŸ˜‚

What are your favorite adult fantasy series? βš”οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A few years ago, I devoured The Daevabad Trilogy and completely fell in love with the absolutely magnificent world-building 😍
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Adult fantasy can be tricky if you're used to the pacing in YA fantasy, but after some time, you might find that you really enjoy the way that the story develops πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Some of my favorite completed adult fantasy series:
πŸ’š The Green Bone Saga (Jade City, Jade War, Jade Legacy)
πŸ§›πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ All Souls (A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, The Book of Life)
🐺 The Wilderwood (For the Wolf, For the Throne)
⏳ Shades of Magic (A Darker Shade of Magic, A Gathering of Shadows, A Conjuring of Light)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I've asked this in the past, but I'm curious how the answers might change since so many books have come out in the last several years that I think would fit this perfectly πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I don't have many IRL friends who enjoy reading, but I have been lucky enough to recommend books to fiction newbies in the past and I usually start with The Midnight Library! πŸ“š I think it's a book everyone should read (but that's because it saved my life, so it's very special to me) and I especially recommend it during May, Mental Health Awareness Month! πŸ’š
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I certainly felt that about a few of the books I read this past month, but especially:
πŸ«– The Tea Dragon Society - this entire MG graphic novel trilogy just warmed my heart so much. It's precious and wonderful and if you haven't read it, please do because you won't be able to wipe the smile off your face.
πŸ” Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers - within the first couple of chapters, I was belly-laughing so hard I was crying. This was hilarious and adorable and I didn't want it to end. I immediately began recommending it to everyone. 
⛱️ Happy Place - because of course! I mean, this book did make me sob my eyes out multiple times, but it also made me belly laugh more than once as well. It was perfect in every way and very quickly became my second fave of Emily's books (just after PWMOV)!
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Thank goodness I'm a big fan of rereading because I know I'll be revisiting all of these books again in the future πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

🎀 Funny Feelings by Tarah DeWitt
🏰 The Renaissance of Gwen Hathaway by Ashley Schumacher
🍿 Never Been Kissed by Timothy Janovsky
πŸ“» Ten Rules for Faking It by Sophie Sullivan
🌾 In the Weeds by BK Borison
🌲 Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute by Talia Hibbert
πŸŽ’ Begin Again by Emma Lord
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
The Neighbor Favor also paired wonderfully with the fantastic coffee and cookies that came in my @litlovebox package β˜•οΈ Definitely one of the best bookish boxes I've seen out there, and you can use STEPH5 for a discount when you subscribe πŸ“š
