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! 📖

1. I've been a full-time blogger for almost 6 years - previously fashion/lifestyle and recently rebranded to books!
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
