For me, it was WE ARE ALL SO GOOD AT SMILING by @ambsmcbride 📖 I read this in one sitting and cried crocodile tears through 80% of it 🐊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This book - whew - it's heavy and haunting and simultaneously so beautiful and hopeful ✨ I've truly never read anything quite like it and I know I'll want to revisit it time and again, especially when I find myself struggling with the negative voices in my head 🤎 (Please note the content warnings before beginning your journey into this incredible story)

Have you read this book or is it on your TBR? ☕️

Recommend your favorite mysteries! 🔎 My mom ca Recommend your favorite mysteries! 🔎

My mom can confirm that when I was younger, I was constantly gobbling up mystery books 📖 As I got older, I found that so many books labeled as “mysteries” for YA and adults were more like thrillers - focusing on suspense and fear, rather than sleuthing (not my jam) 🙈

Now, I’m realizing that I must have just been looking in the wrong places for good mysteries, because they’re definitely out there 🙌🏼 I absolutely devoured The London Séance Society - enjoying the way it blended historical mystery, a healthy dose of suspense, and wild fantastical elements into just over 350 pages 🔮

Have you read this one yet? 🕯️

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!  If so, can you take me with you? 😂 I’m relatively small, so I’m sure I could just squeeze into an extra suitcase or something.  I’ve recently found myself purchasing or looking at primarily vacation-style dresses.  There’s something so alluring about the tropical or floral prints, flowing material, and effortlessness that has me completely head over heels!  About a week ago, I took a trip to my local 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.  It was like I was developing a high school crush all over again!  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.  However, after narrowing it down to just a couple pieces, I looked over at this baby and knew I had to bring it home with me.  Now this maxi and I are total bffs.  The wrap allows for a high slit whenever a breeze blows, and the halter top ties as tight or as loose as you desire.  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!  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.  Not a single one of these stunning dresses costs more than $200, and some of them are even less than $25!  You will be completely set for your tropical getaway, or just for a stunningly comfortable spring and summer!

    What a gorgeous print! I love a palm print and the color. It always puts me in a relaxed vacation mood. The flow of the dress is perfect and totally makes you look taller. Love the bangles too!

    Haha oh Stephanie, you don’t need the beach when you look like that! You make everything around you look tropical no matter where you are. On a more sad not, I’m not planning a sunny getaway anytime soon. Maybe in September when I’m done with all the fashion weeks (for men) this summer. THEN I’ll definitely need a loooong vacation!

    I love this palm maxi so much! I shop Versona often and saw this dress also and fell in love with it! Unfortunately for me I’m too tall and can’t rock long dresses. I’m so glad you can though this dress was made for you!!!

Recommend your favorite mysteries! 🔎 My mom ca Recommend your favorite mysteries! 🔎

My mom can confirm that when I was younger, I was constantly gobbling up mystery books 📖 As I got older, I found that so many books labeled as “mysteries” for YA and adults were more like thrillers - focusing on suspense and fear, rather than sleuthing (not my jam) 🙈

Now, I’m realizing that I must have just been looking in the wrong places for good mysteries, because they’re definitely out there 🙌🏼 I absolutely devoured The London Séance Society - enjoying the way it blended historical mystery, a healthy dose of suspense, and wild fantastical elements into just over 350 pages 🔮

Have you read this one yet? 🕯️

How do YOU cure a book hangover? 🥴 ⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do YOU cure a book hangover? 🥴
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ever since I finished my reread of the Shadow and Bone trilogy, I've found it so hard to get into anything else and all I want to do is just drop my entire TBR and continue rereading the rest of the Grishaverse 🫶🏼 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Y'all, the S&B obsession is so real (again) for me right now and I don't know if tomorrow's premiere will help soothe me or make things even worse 🙈 Oh, who am I kidding? 😅 It’s gonna make me a thousand times more insufferable 🤷🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've never been in a reading slump and I've only had a book hangover a couple of times, so I'm thinking that continuing with comfort reads of the same world/genre is going to be the most beneficial 📚 Off to open up Six of Crows next 🖤

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
GOSH, I could not be more excited for season 2 of the show to premiere on Thursday (I even rebooked a dentist appointment for this - and gave myself the day off work 🙈) And I think I’m somehow even more excited since Daisy Head gave me a shoutout on the Netflix IG page and Ben Barnes replied to my Q&A comment on Reddit 😱 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You all know Genya would be the first on my guest list, but of course, I'd also want to invite Alina, Jesper & Wylan, Tamar, and probably Inej as well 🙌🏼 And yes, yes, I'd love The Darkling to be there (if he can... behave himself? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Or maybe even if he can’t 😏)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're looking for all the Grishaverse goodness, peep my blog for everything from merch (like my Sun Saint candle from @janzywaxco ☀️) to themed drinks (the Jurda Parem is my favorite 🍹) to a full dissection of The Darkling's character 🖤 And make sure to let me know what you're most excited for this season! 🫶🏼
