SURPRISE! I'm going to begin adding home content to this page and I'm incredibly excited about it πŸ₯³ I've been slowly but surely transforming my house into the cozy little cottage of my dreams and the first thing to get a rework was the gallery wall in my bedroom, thanks to @desenio πŸ–ΌοΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I've been shopping from Desenio for YEARS now and very highly recommend their stunning art prints and frames, so of course, the opportunity to be a #DesenioPartner for this project was a dream come true πŸ™ŒπŸΌ In fact, I have gallery walls featuring their posters in three different rooms in my home--that's how much I love them 😍
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
You can read my full review of this company (from products to pricing to shipping, and more) at the link in my bio πŸ’» And between now and October 3, you can get 45% off your purchase from @desenio using the code ESPRESSOEDITION 🫢🏼

Truthfully, it doesn't matter how long you've followed me, you probably already know that I love all things Shadow and Bone 🫢🏼 I've been going through a Grishaverse reread this year and loving every second of it, but nothing will compare to those first three books! πŸ₯°
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I was late to the game with this trilogy, reading it for the first time just a little before the show first premiered, but it quickly became a core part of my personality πŸ˜‰ Now, I own two signed copies of the first book (one is the special edition hardcover and one is the show tie-in) πŸ“– And no joke, 90% of my candles are related to the Grishaverse in some way (thank you @janzywaxco for providing the perfect scents for my many rereads and rewatches πŸ•―οΈ)

Hi friends--what have I missed? 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
All I'm hearing on repeat in my head is Jacob Black's ridiculous, "Where the hell have you been, loca?" πŸ˜† I missed you all SO MUCH this past month and a half 😭
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
So to answer the werewolf's question:
🫢🏼 I got to spend a week with one of my best buddies in Ohio and we made friendship blankets, got matching Gilmore Girls tattoos, went to high tea, watched a ton of Seinfeld, avoided a tornado, and shopped til we dropped (it was the best time)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ“– @chronicacademia and I have been buddy-reading like our lives depend on it for quite some time, but actually meeting in person and being able to geek out over books together face-to-face was the absolute best
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ₯€ The chance to meet one of my favorite authors during the same trip? Couldn't pass that up! I attended the Foxglove book tour in Columbus for @authoradalyngrace and it was such a surreal experience
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸͺ΄ I've begun to work on some home projects--finally turning my cozy cottage into exactly that--and I'm loving every second of it! Very thankful for some incredible partnerships that will be coming to this page real soon
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ₯° I’ve spent so much quality time with my family, including celebrating my sister’s birthday with her making such precious memories. So grateful for my incredible tribe who have held me up and brought so much comfort lately. 
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ’” The life update that I posted on my stories on Sept 1 explained the hardest part of why I disappeared for so long. I know that there are great plans for my future even as I stumble my way through the now (if you missed it and are confused, feel free to DM me)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Now, tell me something that you're looking forward to this autumn πŸ‚
What was the last book someone recommended to you What was the last book someone recommended to you that became a favorite? 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Okay, this wasn't the last one for me, but it was the FIRST book that @chronicacademia recommended to me… and it became an instant fave 😍
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
The Bone Houses is a cozy-creepy (aka, not scary, but just a little eerie, while also being totally cozy and atmospheric) fantasy with incredible disability rep and a truly creative story 🦴 If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend it for your "spooky season" TBR πŸŽƒ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
What's a cozy-creepy book that you enjoy? πŸ™ˆ

Do you prefer to savor one book for an extended pe Do you prefer to savor one book for an extended period of time, or do you tend to fly through your reads pretty quickly? ⏳
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Normally, I would say that I fly through books--inhaling them more than savoring them πŸ˜… But over the last week, I spent time buddy-reading The Fragile Threads of Power... and taking my time with it β˜•οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
There was something really nice about slowing down and reading little bits at a time, then discussing them with my friend, then reading more, then theorizing about the plot, then reading a little more, etc. 🀎 It felt good to just appreciate the book rather than gobbling it up (though I know I'll go right back to that with whatever I read next πŸ˜†)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
If you tend to fly through your reads, what's the last book that made you WANT to take your time with it and savor each moment? πŸ“–

Do you have any auto-buy authors? πŸ’³
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I'm SO picky with this list because, as a rule, I don't buy books unless I've read them already and loved them enough to read them again πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ BUT there are a few authors who are exceptions to this because I've literally never been disappointed by their books and I just want to support them in any way I can so I'll pre-order, order multiple copies, and screech about their books til my throat gets raw 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
 πŸ‚ Rachel Griffin - the first book I read by her was The Nature of Witches and I was instantly in love with her atmospheric writing and the way every book makes me appreciate nature
🌲 Joanna Ruth Meyer - the first book I read by her was Echo North and now I've reread several of her books countless times and own multiple copies of my fave
πŸ₯² Justin A Reynolds - the first book I read by him was Opposite of Always and literally every one of his books makes me both laugh til my belly aches and cry my eyes out
β˜€οΈ Emily Henry - the first book I read by her was Beach Read and now I crown her the romance queen and live for every summer-y release
πŸ™οΈ John Green - the first book I read by him was Paper Towns and it remained my favorite book for many, many years, even after the hype surrounding TFiOS... I learn from everything he writes
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you read books by any of these authors? πŸ“–

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I'm so indecisive when it comes to favorites, so choosing just one can be challenging, especially when I’ve given out plenty of 4-5 stars for the year ⭐️
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
That being said, my favorite fantasy book right now (and possibly for the year?) is BRING ME YOUR MIDNIGHT by @timesnewrachel 🌊 It absolutely blew me away and gave me the worst book hangover ever πŸ™ˆ Writing a review has almost never been easier than it was for this book (the words just poured out of me) and all I want to do is read it again! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

By now, most of you know that I'm *not* a fan of enemies-to-lovers (sorry, not sorry πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ) but I absolutely loved the way it was presented in Someone Just Like You πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

Staying Warm in the Winter

My current situation: sitting in a local cafΓ©, sipping my “holiday spice” tea (which the barista described as “Christmas in a cup” and was definitely right), and pausing every couple of minutes to people-watch with Brandon, who is sitting across from me working on his own side hustle! Β I’m grateful to have these cozy spots in my city to escape to during busy works days when I need a break from my home office. Β Earlier today, before my little jaunt into the city, I was a busy bee. Β I signed up for a program that could greatly help my blogging career, purchased the final pieces to complete my cloffice, sent out a bunch of pitch emails, and planned out my entire week (personal and editorial)! Β I’m a pretty happy camper.

Last night, I did a poll on Instagram asking whether you wanted to see more posts about outfit genres (like casual, dressy, etc.) or what to wear for certain occasions. Β Occasions won, so I’m in the process of purchasing clothing items that will benefit you all the best! Β As far as this outfit goes, I think I can consider the occasion “keeping warm in less than 30Β° weather.” Β What do you think? Β During the winter, I constantly work my hardest to find pieces that are functionalΒ and fun. Β I don’t want to take away from my outfit just because it’s cold outside. Β This $60 sweater fromΒ Chicwish is the best of all worlds because the chunky knit keeps me hella warm, and the oversized fit, high-low hem, and delicate floral print is classy and stylish.

I get frequent questions aboutΒ Chicwish and if they’re really as excellent as I say they are. Β Yes, they do sponsor me and send me clothing each month – not going to lie about that – but they do not pay me for my opinion, and while there have been a couple items I didn’t love, 99% of the time, I am crazy about the pieces and rewear them on a regular basis. Β I will always share my complete, honest opinion on brands, and there are many times where I turn down collaborations with companies that don’t suit my style. Β I want to bring you guys the highest quality content! Β So, yes, I doΒ loveΒ Chicwish and highly recommend them and their products to anyone interested in quality, affordable, cute and unique pieces!

πŸ“– @chronicacademia and I have been buddy-reading like our lives depend on it for quite some time, but actually meeting in person and being able to geek out over books together face-to-face was the absolute best
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ₯€ The chance to meet one of my favorite authors during the same trip? Couldn't pass that up! I attended the Foxglove book tour in Columbus for @authoradalyngrace and it was such a surreal experience
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸͺ΄ I've begun to work on some home projects--finally turning my cozy cottage into exactly that--and I'm loving every second of it! Very thankful for some incredible partnerships that will be coming to this page real soon
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ₯° I’ve spent so much quality time with my family, including celebrating my sister’s birthday with her making such precious memories. So grateful for my incredible tribe who have held me up and brought so much comfort lately. 
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ’” The life update that I posted on my stories on Sept 1 explained the hardest part of why I disappeared for so long. I know that there are great plans for my future even as I stumble my way through the now (if you missed it and are confused, feel free to DM me)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Now, tell me something that you're looking forward to this autumn πŸ‚
What was the last book someone recommended to you What was the last book someone recommended to you that became a favorite? 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Okay, this wasn't the last one for me, but it was the FIRST book that @chronicacademia recommended to me… and it became an instant fave 😍
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
The Bone Houses is a cozy-creepy (aka, not scary, but just a little eerie, while also being totally cozy and atmospheric) fantasy with incredible disability rep and a truly creative story 🦴 If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend it for your "spooky season" TBR πŸŽƒ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
What's a cozy-creepy book that you enjoy? πŸ™ˆ

Do you prefer to savor one book for an extended pe Do you prefer to savor one book for an extended period of time, or do you tend to fly through your reads pretty quickly? ⏳
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Normally, I would say that I fly through books--inhaling them more than savoring them πŸ˜… But over the last week, I spent time buddy-reading The Fragile Threads of Power... and taking my time with it β˜•οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
There was something really nice about slowing down and reading little bits at a time, then discussing them with my friend, then reading more, then theorizing about the plot, then reading a little more, etc. 🀎 It felt good to just appreciate the book rather than gobbling it up (though I know I'll go right back to that with whatever I read next πŸ˜†)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
If you tend to fly through your reads, what's the last book that made you WANT to take your time with it and savor each moment? πŸ“–

Do you have any auto-buy authors? πŸ’³
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I'm SO picky with this list because, as a rule, I don't buy books unless I've read them already and loved them enough to read them again πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ BUT there are a few authors who are exceptions to this because I've literally never been disappointed by their books and I just want to support them in any way I can so I'll pre-order, order multiple copies, and screech about their books til my throat gets raw 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
 πŸ‚ Rachel Griffin - the first book I read by her was The Nature of Witches and I was instantly in love with her atmospheric writing and the way every book makes me appreciate nature
🌲 Joanna Ruth Meyer - the first book I read by her was Echo North and now I've reread several of her books countless times and own multiple copies of my fave
πŸ₯² Justin A Reynolds - the first book I read by him was Opposite of Always and literally every one of his books makes me both laugh til my belly aches and cry my eyes out
β˜€οΈ Emily Henry - the first book I read by her was Beach Read and now I crown her the romance queen and live for every summer-y release
πŸ™οΈ John Green - the first book I read by him was Paper Towns and it remained my favorite book for many, many years, even after the hype surrounding TFiOS... I learn from everything he writes
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you read books by any of these authors? πŸ“–

What is your favorite book of the year... right no What is your favorite book of the year... right now? πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I'm so indecisive when it comes to favorites, so choosing just one can be challenging, especially when I’ve given out plenty of 4-5 stars for the year ⭐️
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
That being said, my favorite fantasy book right now (and possibly for the year?) is BRING ME YOUR MIDNIGHT by @timesnewrachel 🌊 It absolutely blew me away and gave me the worst book hangover ever πŸ™ˆ Writing a review has almost never been easier than it was for this book (the words just poured out of me) and all I want to do is read it again! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

 Is Bring Me Your Midnight on your radar? πŸ“–

Tell me a trope that isn't your favorite and then Tell me a trope that isn't your favorite and then tell me a book WITH that trope that you actually LOVED 🀎

By now, most of you know that I'm *not* a fan of enemies-to-lovers (sorry, not sorry πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ) but I absolutely loved the way it was presented in Someone Just Like You πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
This book was so clever and fun and had me laughing til my belly ached! πŸ™ˆ I adored Meredith's previous book, As Seen on TV, so I had high hopes for this one and it didn't let me down ⭐️ Swipe through to see my review πŸ“²

What's one slower-paced book that you love? πŸ“–
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
For me, it's The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue ✨ A little fun fact: this book is in 90% of my photos because it's a perfect "background" book--but it also makes me so happy knowing that one of my top 3 favorite books of all time is *quietly* featured throughout my feed πŸ₯Ή
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
This story takes its time, but if you give it a chance, I promise it'll be worth it 🀎 I nearly DNF'd it the first time I read it because I thought it was too slow for me πŸ™ˆ I'm so glad that I gave it the opportunity to fully break me apart and put me back together again... I wound up feeling like bits of my heart were scattered throughout the pages when I was done 😭
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Tell me if you love The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue as much as I do! πŸ•°οΈ

Tell me some of your comfort books 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I personally think that comfort books can look different than just favorites because when I think of some of my favorites, I don't find them all super comforting πŸ™ˆ So my list of comfort books is a whole other animal, and that's okay! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
This year, I read Legends & Lattes for the first time (finally) and it instantly became BOTH a favorite and a comfort read 😍 I could see myself coming back to it again and again when I need a pick-me-up β˜•οΈ 
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I just finished an arc of the prequel, Bookshops & Bonedust, and it was absolutely precious 🫢🏼 I’m dealing with such a massive book hangover now 😭 I never want to leave this cozy world! πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A few others are:
πŸ‚ All of the Heartstopper graphic novels
🐺 Echo North
πŸ“– The Bookish Life of Nina Hill
🦌 Shadow and Bone
πŸƒ The Nature of Witches
πŸ“Ί Talking As Fast As I Can
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you read any of these books? πŸ“š
