โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Long story short, I joined bookstagram in 2020 because I love books and I love talking about books, but I never had a space to do that ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ After years of fashion blogging and feeling out of place because of my interests, I wound up on this side of IG and realized that it felt like home ๐ŸคŽ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
I schemed up a name (something to do with coffee and books that didn't have the words "coffee" or "books" in it), took a few photos, created a profile, and went to town ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ It wasn't long before I completely FELL IN LOVE with the supportive community, safe space to find new books and talk about the ones I love, and really cultivate my photography skills (which had been lying dormant for far too long) ๐Ÿ™ˆ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Now, I'm thrilled to have connected with favorite authors, created my own hashtag (hey there #perfectespressopour โ˜•๏ธ), reviewed incredible books, launched my own line of merch, and made tons of new friends ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ When I begin to feel down about the numbers or the lack of inspiration, I remind myself of why I started in the first place and I find myself falling in love all over again ๐Ÿฅน

โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
In my world, every month is #pridemonth and I always, always have queer books on my TBR (not just white mlm, but a wide range of lgbtqia+ stories) ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ It's important to me to constantly be diversifying my shelves, learning more about the people around me, and continuing to create a safe environment for everyone in my little corner of the web ๐ŸคŽ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
My goal for June was to pack my TBR with as many queer books as I could in CELEBRATION of Pride Month, so I've already read 4 books with lgbtq rep:
๐Ÿฆ‰ Wild is the Witch by Rachel Griffin

๐Ÿฉธ Blood Like Magic by Liselle Sambury
๐Ÿ–Œ Portrait of a Thief by Grace D Li
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €

Do you have a favorite book dedication? โœ๐Ÿผ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
I've found a few recently that have definitely stood out to me ๐Ÿ‘€ Sometimes a dedication sets the mood for the book and that's something I really love! ๐ŸคŽ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
A few that have blown my mind recently are:
๐Ÿชž GALLANT (pictured) by VE Schwab
๐Ÿ‘‘ FOR THE THRONE (actually, both of The Wilderwood books have fabulous dedications) by Hannah Whitten
๐Ÿ›ซ EARLY DEPARTURES by Justin A. Reynolds

โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
When I read THE ATLAS SIX in April, I was blown away by how unique it was! ๐Ÿคฏ I have never in my life read another book like it and that's part of why it got 5 stars from me โญ๏ธ Sure, it started at a slower pace but the further the story progressed, the more fascinating it was (and the pacing at the beginning made far more sense because it led to absolute BRILLIANCE) ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
I don't read much dark academia, so recommend some titles to me (THAT AREN'T AS WELL KNOWN) that you've enjoyed! ๐Ÿ›

Do you enjoy books that are less plot, more โœจvib Do you enjoy books that are less plot, more โœจvibesโœจ?
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
I definitely do! ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ In the past few years, I've read more and more books like this and they always leave me feeling utterly fascinated (and maybe a little confused?) ๐Ÿค” I gotta say that writing reviews for them can be a bit tough, but reading them is a lot of fun ๐Ÿ™ˆ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Books I enjoy that are no plot, just vibes:
๐Ÿ The Starless Sea

โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
I definitely do! ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ One of the most pleasant surprises when I opened up GALLANT was seeing the hauntingly beautiful pieces of art inside ๐Ÿ–ค It made the story feel more alive and helped me understand the way the character's mind worked ๐Ÿง 
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
There was a similar feeling when I first read THE ATLAS SIX and saw the character art ๐ŸŽจ It gave the cast so much more depth and it made me wish that more books included pieces like this ๐Ÿ“–
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Other additions that make books stand out to me:
๐Ÿ“ฐ Unique chapter breaks (I read a basketball book that was divided into 4 quarters, and a book about an actor divided into acts, things like that)
๐Ÿ’ฌ Text messages
๐Ÿ—บ Maps
โœ๐Ÿผ Handwriting (especially in the form of letters or lists)

Leave me a string of emojis that describe your cur Leave me a string of emojis that describe your current read (or title) and I'll try to guess it ๐Ÿ™ƒ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
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 ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Here are mine:
Book 1: ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿฆด๐Ÿฉธ๐ŸŽ
Book 2: ๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿป๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ’ซ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Okay, maybe those were awful emoji descriptions, but it sure was fun to try and get creative with them ๐Ÿ˜‚ And in case you were curious, my books are For the Throne (arc) and Bookish and the Beast ๐Ÿ™ˆ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Are either of these on your TBR? ๐Ÿ“š

When I read THE ATLAS SIX in April, I was blown away by how unique it was! ๐Ÿคฏ I have never in my life read another book like it and that's part of why it got 5 stars from me โญ๏ธ Sure, it started at a slower pace but the further the story progressed, the more fascinating it was (and the pacing at the beginning made far more sense because it led to absolute BRILLIANCE) ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
I don't read much dark academia, so recommend some titles to me (THAT AREN'T AS WELL KNOWN) that you've enjoyed! ๐Ÿ›

I definitely do! ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ In the past few years, I've read more and more books like this and they always leave me feeling utterly fascinated (and maybe a little confused?) ๐Ÿค” I gotta say that writing reviews for them can be a bit tough, but reading them is a lot of fun ๐Ÿ™ˆ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Books I enjoy that are no plot, just vibes:
๐Ÿ The Starless Sea
๐ŸŽช The Night Circus
๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป Where Dreams Descend
๐Ÿชถ The Raven Cycle
๐Ÿšช The Ten Thousand Doors of January
๐Ÿง™๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ The Once and Future Witches
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Have you read any of these? ๐Ÿ“–

I definitely do! ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ One of the most pleasant surprises when I opened up GALLANT was seeing the hauntingly beautiful pieces of art inside ๐Ÿ–ค It made the story feel more alive and helped me understand the way the character's mind worked ๐Ÿง 
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
There was a similar feeling when I first read THE ATLAS SIX and saw the character art ๐ŸŽจ It gave the cast so much more depth and it made me wish that more books included pieces like this ๐Ÿ“–
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Other additions that make books stand out to me:
๐Ÿ“ฐ Unique chapter breaks (I read a basketball book that was divided into 4 quarters, and a book about an actor divided into acts, things like that)
๐Ÿ’ฌ Text messages
๐Ÿ—บ Maps
โœ๐Ÿผ Handwriting (especially in the form of letters or lists)

Leave me a string of emojis that describe your cur Leave me a string of emojis that describe your current read (or title) and I'll try to guess it ๐Ÿ™ƒ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
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 ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Here are mine:
Book 1: ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿฆด๐Ÿฉธ๐ŸŽ
Book 2: ๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿป๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ’ซ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Okay, maybe those were awful emoji descriptions, but it sure was fun to try and get creative with them ๐Ÿ˜‚ And in case you were curious, my books are For the Throne (arc) and Bookish and the Beast ๐Ÿ™ˆ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Are either of these on your TBR? ๐Ÿ“š
