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 🫶🏼

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! 🫶🏼

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)! 📖
