How would your favorite book character take their How would your favorite book character take their coffee? ☕️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My favorite fictional character of all time is Genya Safin from the Grishaverse 🤍 This badass Tailor has a taste for the finer things and would absolutely drink a deliciously dark roast with notes of cherry, walnut, and rich chocolate 🤤 I think she would enjoy a café au lait -- drip coffee with steamed milk -- that David prepared for her in a drip coffee contraption of his own making 🫶🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did I go way too in-depth on this just because I love these characters and coffee a little too much? 🙈 Maybe I did, but it was fun 🤷🏻‍♀️

What was your last 5-star romance read? ⭐️ It What was your last 5-star romance read? ⭐️

It was absolutely wonderful to end 2022 with Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez 😍 I don’t like to pick favorites when it comes to my top authors, but this adorable fake dating romance may very well be my favorite book by her! 🙌🏼

I’m a seriously picky romance reader, but Abby’s blend of sweetness and substance never ceases to amaze me and Yours Truly was no exception 🤎 Just like her previous novels, this one made me cry my eyes out as I saw bits and pieces of myself in each of the characters 🥹 It was just SO GOOD, y’all, and you can find the full review on my blog! 🫶🏼

Are you planning to pick up Yours Truly when it comes out in April? 📖 Have you read any of Abby’s other phenomenal romance novels? 🥰

What was the last book you read in one sitting? 🐒

Honestly, it’s not very often that I finish a book in one day - either because I find myself too busy or I just can’t concentrate for such a long period of time 😅

BUT every once in a while, I have a weekend day where I can just fully sink into a story and enjoy it from start to finish without distractions 📖 That’s what I did with BEACH READ last Sunday and it was wonderful 🥰 I read it when it first came out, but this time, I really got to enjoy it in a new way - and I couldn’t put it down! 🙈 

If only I could have more days like that 😂 Have you read Beach Read or anything else by Emily Henry? ☀️

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today is my third bookstaversary, friends! 🤎 I can't begin to express how thankful I am for this wonderful community and how it has impacted my life over the last three years 🥹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As many of you know, I was a full-time fashion blogger for over five years and somewhere along the line, I found that I just didn't love it anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️ I wanted to find somewhere I could truly be myself and spend more time talking about fantasy novels, crisp autumn mornings, a great cup of coffee, and how to achieve the ultimate cozy lifestyle ☕️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I joined bookstagram in 2020, thinking it would just be a fun little hobby to have on the side while I continued my fashionista hustle... and a year later, I rebranded EVERYTHING to The Espresso Edition 🙌🏼 I've made talking about books and coziness my full-time gig and I couldn't be happier about it 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you all for welcoming me to this wild and wonderful corner of the internet 🙈 Cheers to tons more bookish goodness! 📚

There have been quite a few characters I've read about this month who I'd love to sit down and chat with over a hot bev 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, from my current reads, I would NOT take anyone from Jade Legacy (because you never know who might end up unaliving), I'd definitely take both Kell and Lila from A Darker Shade of Magic, I'm not entirely sure I'd enjoy coffee with Katniss from The Hunger Games (since she's not the most exciting conversationalist), but I'd absolutely love chatting it up with Alina from Shadow and Bone! 🙌🏼

This past year, I either began or finished a few spin-off series that I found myself enjoying even more than their predecessors 🙈 The Dreamer Trilogy (the first of which is featured here) BLEW ME AWAY even though I just *sorta-kinda* liked The Raven Cycle 😱 But there I was, sobbing my eyes out at the end of Greywaren 😭 So freaking good! 🙌🏼

Typically I’m all about the OG series (like Shadow and Bone), but every once in a while, there’s a really great spin-off or continuation that I wind up just loving! 🤩 I’m excited to discover even more this year 🗓️

Have you read The Dreamer Trilogy yet? 💭

It was only this past year that I really discovered how much I enjoy graphic novels 💥 I’ve always liked comic books and graphic novels are just an elevated kind of comic book 🤌🏼

Even though I preordered and listened to the audiobook for Demon in the Wood (blame it on my love for Ben Barnes as a narrator), I also got myself a physical copy because it’s just too gorgeous to pass up 😍 Just like the rest of the Grishaverse books, the naked cover is breathtaking with the most perfect silver embossing on deep purple 💜 I could read this one over and over again (and I probably will)! 📖
