When I found out that GALLANT had The Secret Garden vibes, I was really excited because that was one of my favorites as a kid ⛲️ I think it would be really neat to see this story retold by a few other authors as well (looking at you, Marissa Meyer) πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Some of the other stories I loved as a kid that I'd like to see "adulted" are:
πŸ‘‘ A Little Princess
πŸ§žβ€β™‚οΈ Aladdin
 🐁 Stuart Little (it could be cute okay? like some kind of fantasy?)
πŸ‘’ Madeline
⚜️ Rumplestiltskin (I've only seen this done once and I wasn’t obsessed so I need more!)
β˜‚οΈ Mary Poppins
🐎 Misty of Chincoteague
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Did you enjoy any of those stories as a kid? 🀎

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 €

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 €

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 €

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I'm officially considering this Shadow and Bone week, between celebrating the 10th anniversary of the book and finding out about Ben narrating the Demon in the Wood audiobook! πŸ₯‚ 
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Also, catch me counting down the days until when I get to see my babies on-screen again (can we get a season 2 premiere date, please?) πŸ“Ί

To answer my own question, Genya is my very favorite Shadow and Bone character 🀍 In fact, I have plans for a Genya tattoo in the near future πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

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 🧠
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)

Wanna Get Away?: The Vacation Maxi You Need

Wanna Get Away?: The Vacation Maxi You Need

Raise your hand if you’re planning a trip to somewhere beachy and/or tropical sometime soon! Β If so, can you take me with you? πŸ˜‚Β I’m relatively small, so I’m sure I could just squeeze into an extra suitcase or something. Β I’ve recently found myself purchasing or looking at primarily vacation-style dresses. Β There’s something so alluring about the tropical or floral prints, flowing material, and effortlessness that has me completely head over heels! Β About a week ago, I took a trip to my localΒ Versona and the second I spotted this wrap-style halter maxi, my heart started beating just a little faster and my hands got a little clammy. Β It was like I was developing a high school crush all over again! Β I fell even harder the moment that I tried it on – and my Instagram babes did too (I put it on my IG stories and got tons of love on it)!

Their spring selection is so good right now that I almost bought the entire store. Β However, after narrowing it down to just a couple pieces, I looked over at this baby and knewΒ I had to bring it home with me. Β Now this maxi and I are total bffs. Β The wrap allows for a high slit whenever a breeze blows, and the halter top ties as tight or as loose as you desire. Β Let me tell ya’ll, it’s a rare occasion that I can get away with going completely braless, but this dress is just blouse-y enough that I can pull it off! Β I think no matter what your bust size is, you can be perfectly comfortable in this dress.

Since this particular maxi isn’t available via RewardStyle, I’ve done the hard work of searching for the best vacation maxis for you. Β Not a single one of these stunning dresses costs more than $200, and some of them are even less than $25! Β You will be completely set for your tropical getaway, or just for a stunningly comfortable spring and summer!

When I found out that GALLANT had The Secret Garden vibes, I was really excited because that was one of my favorites as a kid ⛲️ I think it would be really neat to see this story retold by a few other authors as well (looking at you, Marissa Meyer) πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Some of the other stories I loved as a kid that I'd like to see "adulted" are:
πŸ‘‘ A Little Princess
πŸ§žβ€β™‚οΈ Aladdin
 🐁 Stuart Little (it could be cute okay? like some kind of fantasy?)
πŸ‘’ Madeline
⚜️ Rumplestiltskin (I've only seen this done once and I wasn’t obsessed so I need more!)
β˜‚οΈ Mary Poppins
🐎 Misty of Chincoteague
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

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

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 €

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

Do you enjoy books with illustrations? πŸ–Œ β €β € Do you enjoy books with illustrations? πŸ–Œ

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“–

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:
Book 1: πŸ‘‘πŸ¦΄πŸ©ΈπŸŽ
Book 2: πŸ“–πŸ‘©πŸΌβ€β€οΈβ€πŸ‘¨πŸ»πŸš€πŸ’«
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
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Are either of these on your TBR? πŸ“š
