Why did you join bookstagram? πŸ“– β €β €β €β €β € Why did you join bookstagram? πŸ“–
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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 πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ 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 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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 πŸ™ŒπŸΌ 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) πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Now, I'm thrilled to have connected with favorite authors, created my own hashtag (hey there #perfectespressopour β˜•οΈ), reviewed incredible books, launched my own line of merch, and made tons of new friends 🫢🏼 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 πŸ₯Ή
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Thank you for being part of my bookstagram journey πŸ“š

Tell me your most recent "new-to-you" fave author Tell me your most recent "new-to-you" fave author and which book made you fall in love with their work πŸ“š
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A couple months back, I had the privilege of reading an advanced copy of The Wonderland Trials by @saraellawrites... and I immediately fell head over heels in love 😍 Needless to say, I instantly added her entire backlist to my TBR πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Lately, I've been feeling a bit disappointed with fantasy (which has always been my favorite genre) πŸ˜• It seems like each time I pick one up, I'm either completely uninterested in the story or it just falls flat - but The Wonderland Trials absolutely blew me away! 🀯 If you're looking for something that really stands out amongst the rest, you certainly need to pick this one up! 🫢🏼

Recommend me an underrated queer book! πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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) πŸ™ŒπŸΌ 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 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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:
πŸ¦‰ Wild is the Witch by Rachel Griffin
🌎 The Never Tilting World by Rin Chupeco
πŸ“Ί The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun
🌌 Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefluer
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I'm currently reading 3:
πŸ«– A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers
🩸 Blood Like Magic by Liselle Sambury
πŸ–Œ Portrait of a Thief by Grace D Li
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
 And I have 2 more on my immediate list:
πŸ₯€ Malice by Heather Walter
β˜€οΈ Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

Do you have a favorite book dedication? ✍🏼
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I've found a few recently that have definitely stood out to me πŸ‘€ Sometimes a dedication sets the mood for the book and that's something I really love! 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A few that have blown my mind recently are:
πŸͺž GALLANT (pictured) by VE Schwab
πŸ‘‘ FOR THE THRONE (actually, both of The Wilderwood books have fabulous dedications) by Hannah Whitten
πŸ›« EARLY DEPARTURES by Justin A. Reynolds
πŸ“– THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY by Matt Haig
πŸ’” ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART by Stephanie Garber
πŸ₯˜ WITH THE FIRE ON HIGH by Elizabeth Acevedo
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

When I read THE ATLAS SIX in April, I was blown away by how unique it was! 🀯 I have never in my life read another book like it and that's part of why it got 5 stars from me ⭐️ 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) πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

I definitely do! πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ One of the most pleasant surprises when I opened up GALLANT was seeing the hauntingly beautiful pieces of art inside πŸ–€ It made the story feel more alive and helped me understand the way the character's mind worked 🧠

Black and Gold: The Classic Party Dress

Black and Gold: The Classic Party Dress // She Saw Style

Can you believe that October is already halfway over? Β I mean, Halloween isΒ only ten days away (do you have your costume yet?) and before you know it, Thanksgiving will be arriving, along with the holiday party season! Β I’m personally so hypedΒ for this time of year and all the fun festivities it has to bring! Β One of my dearest friends, whom I met through Instagram nearly three years ago, is studying abroad in the U.S. this semester – her home is Switzerland – and she will be spending Thanksgiving with my family! Β I’m beyondΒ excited to finally meet her in person after our countless texts and Skype dates! Β It will be tonsΒ of fun finally having a Black Friday shopping buddy, and someone to get dressed up with for Thanksgiving!

Black and Gold: The Classic Party Dress // She Saw Style

Speaking of dressing up, since the holiday party season is rapidly approaching, I’ve been thinking more and more about what I’ll be wearing! Β From quirky cocktail dresses to flirty and frilly skirts, party season always has me in a trance filled withΒ lace and embroidery. Β Sophistication just fills the air. Β I was recently sent this stunning babydoll shift dress fromΒ She + Sky, and IΒ immediately fell in love with the classic black and gold style. Β This piece just screams “elegant” and would pair well with a cheese plate, some sweet Merlot and fierceΒ velvet heels (particularly the lace-ups that I’m wearing)!

This party dress had me hooked the second I slipped it on. Β The material is very soft, and it’s made of two separate layers. Β The bottom layer is similar to a silky slip, and the outer layer is slightlyΒ sheer, with aΒ golden, embroidered hem running along the front portion of the skirt. Β The back clasps with a button at the nape of my neck, and lays in subtle pleats from the neckline down. Β It’s a flattering design and quite classy for any evening party. Β I can also promise that you will remain comfortable throughout the evening, as the babydoll design allowsΒ room to stuff your face with pumpkin pie and theΒ lack of plunge keeps you from any awkward “hey, my face is up here” moments.

Black and Gold: The Classic Party Dress // She Saw Style

Since this particular dress is not available to be purchased online, I’ve linked a slew of stunning black and gold party dresses fit for any occasion. Β The price points are also varied, so take a look through and tell me which one you would pick up for the holiday season, and where you might wear it! Β Happy shopping, and happy weekend, babes!

      Yes! Did you ever get to know Sarah? She doesn’t use her Instagram for fashion as much anymore, but she was one of the people who started around the same time as me doing flatlays and OOTD shots! It’s so cool that we finally get to meet in person! I’m sure there will be plenty on the blog and IG about it!

Why did you join bookstagram? πŸ“– β €β €β €β €β € Why did you join bookstagram? πŸ“–
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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 πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ 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 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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 πŸ™ŒπŸΌ 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) πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Now, I'm thrilled to have connected with favorite authors, created my own hashtag (hey there #perfectespressopour β˜•οΈ), reviewed incredible books, launched my own line of merch, and made tons of new friends 🫢🏼 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 πŸ₯Ή
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Thank you for being part of my bookstagram journey πŸ“š

Tell me your most recent "new-to-you" fave author Tell me your most recent "new-to-you" fave author and which book made you fall in love with their work πŸ“š
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A couple months back, I had the privilege of reading an advanced copy of The Wonderland Trials by @saraellawrites... and I immediately fell head over heels in love 😍 Needless to say, I instantly added her entire backlist to my TBR πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Lately, I've been feeling a bit disappointed with fantasy (which has always been my favorite genre) πŸ˜• It seems like each time I pick one up, I'm either completely uninterested in the story or it just falls flat - but The Wonderland Trials absolutely blew me away! 🀯 If you're looking for something that really stands out amongst the rest, you certainly need to pick this one up! 🫢🏼
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you read any great Alice in Wonderland reimaginings? πŸ‡

Recommend me an underrated queer book! πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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) πŸ™ŒπŸΌ 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 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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:
πŸ¦‰ Wild is the Witch by Rachel Griffin
🌎 The Never Tilting World by Rin Chupeco
πŸ“Ί The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun
🌌 Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefluer
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I'm currently reading 3:
πŸ«– A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers
🩸 Blood Like Magic by Liselle Sambury
πŸ–Œ Portrait of a Thief by Grace D Li
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
 And I have 2 more on my immediate list:
πŸ₯€ Malice by Heather Walter
β˜€οΈ Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you read any of these? πŸ“š

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

Do you have a favorite book dedication? ✍🏼
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I've found a few recently that have definitely stood out to me πŸ‘€ Sometimes a dedication sets the mood for the book and that's something I really love! 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A few that have blown my mind recently are:
πŸͺž GALLANT (pictured) by VE Schwab
πŸ‘‘ FOR THE THRONE (actually, both of The Wilderwood books have fabulous dedications) by Hannah Whitten
πŸ›« EARLY DEPARTURES by Justin A. Reynolds
πŸ“– THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY by Matt Haig
πŸ’” ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART by Stephanie Garber
πŸ₯˜ WITH THE FIRE ON HIGH by Elizabeth Acevedo
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
When I read THE ATLAS SIX in April, I was blown away by how unique it was! 🀯 I have never in my life read another book like it and that's part of why it got 5 stars from me ⭐️ 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) πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

I definitely do! 🫢🏼 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?) πŸ€” I gotta say that writing reviews for them can be a bit tough, but reading them is a lot of fun πŸ™ˆ

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I definitely do! πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ One of the most pleasant surprises when I opened up GALLANT was seeing the hauntingly beautiful pieces of art inside πŸ–€ It made the story feel more alive and helped me understand the way the character's mind worked 🧠
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
There was a similar feeling when I first read THE ATLAS SIX and saw the character art 🎨 It gave the cast so much more depth and it made me wish that more books included pieces like this πŸ“–
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Other additions that make books stand out to me:
πŸ“° 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)
πŸ’¬ Text messages
πŸ—Ί Maps
✍🏼 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 πŸ™ƒ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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 πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Here are mine:

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Okay, maybe those were awful emoji descriptions, but it sure was fun to try and get creative with them πŸ˜‚ And in case you were curious, my books are For the Throne (arc) and Bookish and the Beast πŸ™ˆ
