Which books LIVE RENT-FREE in your mind? 🧠 You Which books LIVE RENT-FREE in your mind? 🧠 You know the ones: you're trying to do your work or run errands - really, just go about your day - but all you can think about is getting back to your book! 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can distinctly pick out a few books that have done this for me in the past year: 
💥 the entire RENEGADES trilogy by @marissameyerauthor
🎼 the audiobook version of DAISY JONES & THE SIX by @tjenkinsreid
👗 A DRESS FOR THE WICKED by @autumnsarahstory
🌳 obviously my fave INTO THE HEARTLESS WOOD by @gamwyn
🖤 all of the SHADES OF MAGIC books by @veschwab
🏖 my arc of THE LUCKY ESCAPE by @laurajaneauthor
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These are the kind of books that create a strong desire to do nothing BUT read (and I love it) 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read any of the books I mentioned? A full review of The Lucky Escape will be on my blog tomorrow! 📚

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is just my weekly reminder to let you all know that I will never be over INTO THE HEARTLESS WOOD by @gamwyn 🌳 I read it for the first time in August 2020 and a second time when it officially released in January 2021 and, yep, you guessed it: I'm already considering reading it again 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now that I have the gorgeous, signed hardcover copy (SWOON 🤩), I feel like I need to "break it in" (but like... you know... GENTLY) ✌🏼 If you haven't gotten to read this beautifully haunting and epic tale of tree siren monster girl, Seren, and cinnamon roll astronomer boy, Owen, then you're TOTALLY MISSING OUT 😳 You better get your hands on it right away! 📖

2. My husband and I literally had a meet-cute at a wedding
3. I did musical theatre for 6 years and ballroom dancing for 3
4. When I was 16, I auditioned for the American Idol Experience, and somehow wound up singing to a full theater + broadcasted to the park (on Christmas Eve)
5. I was home-educated all the way through HS graduation
6. I didn't go to college, but I was accepted into a fashion merchandising program at VCU after high school
7. I nearly went to a makeup artistry school in Chicago
8. Clearly I love fashion/makeup but now I prefer to live in comfy clothes, makeup-free
9. I'm a total introvert and homebody and love that I work from home
10. I have a gastrointestinal chronic illness called gastroparesis (which is part of why I work from home)
11. I'm allergic to a TON of really bizarre food and can't eat any of Thanksgiving dinner
12. I listen to more audiobooks than music, but I still adore some good jazz or anything Taylor Swift lays her hands on
13. I don't have a favorite color
14. I've only ever had cats and my kitty, Luna, is my BFF
15. The library is my happy place and I cried when I got my first library card as a kid
16. I collect cute coffee mugs
17. I've only been off the east coast one time and barely remember it because I was so young
18. I have a super overactive imagination and can't stand anything remotely frightening
19. My hair is naturally auburn but I've been coloring it every shade of red since I was 18
20. Right now, I'm realizing I'll have to finish these facts in the comments because I'm way too wordy for my own good 😂

Controversial question time: is A Court of Thorns Controversial question time: is A Court of Thorns and Roses (the series) really worth all the hype? 😳
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is something I've been considering a lot since joining bookstagram 📱 Up until last year, I didn't even know this was a popular series at all - let alone possibly the MOST popular series (in the bookish world) 🤯 And it's not just popular because it's loved; there are a lot of mixed thoughts on this fandom as a whole 🧚🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the past few months, I took it upon myself to read all the books leading up to A Court of Silver Flames and I'm getting BRUTALLY HONEST on the blog with my thoughts regarding this fantasy series 🤭 If you're curious, head to the link in my bio to check it out 🔗

SIDE NOTE: Thank you so much to everyone who has reached out to me with care and concern for my sweet kitty, Luna 🥺 Your encouragement, prayers, and positivity have been invaluable during this challenging time and I feel so blessed to have this supportive community in my life 🤎

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been looking forward to reading THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS, primarily due to the amount of mixed reviews (I love forming my own opinion on super hyped books 🙈), but I guess I didn't read those reviews very well because I was not expecting for it to make my HEART RACE 🫀 BLOOD PUMP 🩸 and SKIN CRAWL 🐛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After a couple of chapters, I checked out the author's note on Goodreads and was grateful that she did, in fact, give content warnings 👏🏼 It's not for the faint of heart, that's for sure 😹

I had never been part of a book club until I joined bookstagram 😱 I've participated in a few virtual ones in the last year and now I'm HOSTING MY OWN 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yesterday was the first group discussion for February's pick: Wicked Lovely 🦋 This is one of my favorite books/series of all time, so introducing it to my friends (and finding others who have already read it and wanted to reread) is SO much fun 🥳
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Should I keep this virtual book club/group read going and pick a new title for next month? 📖
