There are a few that I absolutely love and Echo North is one of them 😍 The first time I enjoyed this story, it was in audiobook form - so when I got the physical copy, I practically swooned over the cover and the interior 😱

I also love Strange the Dreamer and the Shades of Magic title pages! 📚

I was so desperate to read The Hunger Games in high school that I posted on Facebook asking if I could borrow them from anyone who owned them (since the library had ridiculous holds and, at the time, I couldn’t afford to buy) 🙈 An extended family member offered to ship me her set to borrow and when the box arrived, I realized she bought me my own box set! 😱 It was an awesome gift (and I thoroughly enjoyed the books, of course)! 🎁

      Yeah, I think people assume Richmond is just a super conservative, southern city with nothing but small-town charm, but in actuality, it’s super modern, artsy, and liberal with TONS to do and see and enjoy!

    This is such a great resource! I’ve thought for awhile about starting a second blog that’s more lifestyle and focus on stuff in my hometown, because it’s a really cool place with lots of amazing events and places. I’d love to create something like this… if only I had more time!

      I think you could even just get away with a section on your blog designed for it. That would be really neat! I bet there’s so much you could share with your readers!

    I love that a lot of these are free. I’m really interested in the Richmond VegFest! Sounds like an amazing opportunity to know a lot of people with my same perspective of vegan or vegetarian life.

      If I didn’t have so many insane food allergies that prevent me from enjoying most vegan and vegetarian cuisine, I’d definitely be heading to that festival. I bet it’s so cool!

I was so desperate to read The Hunger Games in high school that I posted on Facebook asking if I could borrow them from anyone who owned them (since the library had ridiculous holds and, at the time, I couldn’t afford to buy) 🙈 An extended family member offered to ship me her set to borrow and when the box arrived, I realized she bought me my own box set! 😱 It was an awesome gift (and I thoroughly enjoyed the books, of course)! 🎁

I hope you have the merriest Christmas, darlings! I hope you have the merriest Christmas, darlings! 😘
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is my first Christmas on booksta and when I saw that @emilyintheweb tagged me in the #HolidayTag, I couldn't resist! ❤️(I know this is cutting it close since Xmas is TODAY buuuut if you wanna use the questions, feel free! 🙈)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎄 Earliest Christmas/holiday memory: I remember going to our close friends' home for carols around the piano on Christmas Eve (we did that every year for most of my life) 🎹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📖 Favorite holiday-themed book: I read Finding Christmas this year and that HAS to take the cake. It was beyond adorable ☃️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎬 Favorite holiday movie: 12 Dates of Christmas is my forever favorites, but I love SO MANY that I gotta admit it's hard to choose 🤭
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎶 Favorite holiday song: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by the Glee Cast (specifically that version) but this is kinda like the movie question because I love so many 😹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎁 Favorite gift as a child: This is a toss-up between my piano and my American Girl doll - they were both insanely special to me 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Favorite quote from a holiday film: LITERALLY ALL OF While You Were Sleeping because it's all so quotable! But I guess specifically the entire dinner scene (if you know, you know 🥔)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎀 What's at the top of your wishlist: Books, books, and more books! Specifically, I'm hoping for The Bookish Life of Nina Hill and Echo North (update: I GOT THEM!) 📚
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❤️ Favorite way to spend Christmas Day: A slow morning with my mom's cranberry-orange scones and spiced mocha. Opening gifts with family and just savoring every special moment! 🥰
