I haven't done this in a while and I'm usually pretty terrible at it, but it's fun and I'm always curious how people describe their CR with emojis πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Here are mine:
Book 1: πŸ‘‘πŸ¦΄πŸ©ΈπŸŽ
Book 2: πŸ“–πŸ‘©πŸΌβ€β€οΈβ€πŸ‘¨πŸ»πŸš€πŸ’«
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Okay, maybe those were awful emoji descriptions, but it sure was fun to try and get creative with them πŸ˜‚ And in case you were curious, my books are For the Throne (arc) and Bookish and the Beast πŸ™ˆ

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˜‰

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“–

The last few books I read that 100% lived up to the hype were:

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)

Styling Fruit Print for Sunday Brunch

Now’s the time to hit the comments with all your best fruit puns!

I’ve been truly loving fruit print for the summertime. Some may say it’s juvenile, but I think it’s rather cheery, and there are plenty of ways to wear it as an adult. I found the perfect fruit print blouse to wear for the rest of the summer season! It’s lightweight and versatile. I love the fact that it’s a button-down because I was able to unbutton the bottom and tie it into a cute bow to accentuate my waist!

Fruit print seems especially perfect for a Sunday brunch. Most likely, if you’re anything like me, you’ll be enjoying a mimosa (or two) with your meal, so why not wear something equally as “delicious”? πŸ˜‰ Love the print but aren’t feeling the blouse? GrabΒ these shorts, throw on a cream camisole, add some wedges and a straw bag, and you’re ready to head out with the girls!


Outfit Details
top | skirt | heels | necklace | earrings c/o Sugarfix |similar bag

I found the best way to appear more mature in a vibrant fruit print was by balancing it with a midi skirt.

Midi skirts are always a good choice for me, and this one is especially cute and breezy (oh – and it has pockets)!Β I love that it brightens up the outfit, since the top is black, and it pulls out the yellow colors in the bananas and pineapples!

If you plan to be sitting in an outdoor patio area for your Sunday brunch, know that you’ll be plenty comfortable in this ensemble. The top and skirt are both thin (but still great quality) and breathable. Another fun option to save you from imminent sweat is to layer a lacy bralette beneath the blouse to avoid a bra suffocating you. πŸ˜‚ Keep your accessories minimal since you’ll be wearing enough colors and patterns to draw the eye – and add a strappy summer heel!

Would you wear this quirky fruit print for brunch?

I haven't done this in a while and I'm usually pretty terrible at it, but it's fun and I'm always curious how people describe their CR with emojis πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Here are mine:

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Okay, maybe those were awful emoji descriptions, but it sure was fun to try and get creative with them πŸ˜‚ And in case you were curious, my books are For the Throne (arc) and Bookish and the Beast πŸ™ˆ

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 €

I didn't even know duologies were a thing until I joined bookstagram, but over the past couple of years, I've discovered several favorites (so many that I actually wrote a whole blog post about them) 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A few that I love a little extra:
πŸƒ Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
πŸ¦‹ Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor
πŸ‘‘ A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A Brown
βš“οΈ All the Stars and Teeth by Adalyn Grace
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
And a couple with upcoming sequels I'm anticipating:
🐺 The Wilderwood by Hannah Whitten
🦒 Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim

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“–

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 €

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
