Saying goodbye to your furbabies never gets easier Saying goodbye to your furbabies never gets easier. I’ve done it more than once in my life, but somehow, it hurt more than anything to give those last kisses to my sweet Luna girl.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I got Luna - also known as Bean, Squish, Bug, Babygirl, Chubbo, Mommy’s Girl, Bebe, and Lu - in May 2014 as a fluffy, playful, and SASSY 7-week-old kitten. At the time, Luna was actually NOT the most popular cat name in the world and I felt so original (lol). The name suited her quirky character. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She was there with me through the literal worst times of my life and she went through hell right along with me. Both of us came out stronger, albeit a little guarded. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My Lu was CHUBBY as heck, not at ALL a snuggly lap cat, and very particular about who she trusted. But with me? She was precious. She knew when I had a gastroparesis flare-up and would jump on the bed to keep me company. If I was crying, she’d come from another room and nuzzle against me. She always took care of me - and the sentiment was returned. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A few years ago, she began struggling with her health. I did everything in my power to help her heal. Injections, pills, therapies - no time or expense spared. She became a LAP CAT during all of this - never wanting to leave our side during the struggle. She was the absolute sweetest, snuggliest bean even in the midst of her pain. But after over 2 years of fighting, she told us it was time to say goodbye on July 5, 2022.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My heart feels like it’ll never fully heal again right now, but I’m thankful to know she’s no longer in pain. B stayed by her side until her final breath and I showered her with endless affection (and copious tears) right until she fell asleep. I’m going to miss her FIERCELY. I already do. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She was a firecracker who brought so much joy and love into my life and I’ll forever be thankful for the impact she made and the companionship she provided. My best little girl.
Have you done a mid-year reading check-in yet? 📚
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What a wild year 2022 has been so far 😵‍💫 I've found new favorite authors, made progress on my original TBR, checked out some great backlist books, and hit some super exciting goals! 🙌🏼 I'm not going to *just* share my faves or least faves, but instead I'm going to share some of the fun stats from my reading year so far! 🤎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Out of the 30 books I just *HAD TO* read this year, I've read 24
- Out of my numerical goal of 120 for the whole year, I've read 119
- I've rated 44 books with 4.5/5 stars (hence my struggle when someone asks for a favorite from the year so far)
- I've read 16 ARCs from 12 different publishers (this makes me want to bawl with happiness because this was such a massive goal for me when I began book blogging!)
- I've participated in 10 buddy-reads
- I've added 38 books to my shelves (either purchased by me after I read and loved a book, given as a gift, or sent by a generous author/publisher)
- I've discovered that there's a chance I *might* like romance more than fantasy now and that's totally okay!

What has your reading looked like in 2022? ☕️

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) 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some of the other stories I loved as a kid that I'd like to see "adulted" are:
👑 A Little Princess
🧞‍♂️ Aladdin
 🐁 Stuart Little (it could be cute okay? like some kind of fantasy?)
👒 Madeline
⚜️ Rumplestiltskin (I've only seen this done once and I wasn’t obsessed so I need more!)

Why did you join bookstagram? 📖 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Why did you join bookstagram? 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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 🤷🏻‍♀️ 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 🤎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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 🙌🏼 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) 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now, I'm thrilled to have connected with favorite authors, created my own hashtag (hey there #perfectespressopour ☕️), 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 🥹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you for being part of my bookstagram journey 📚

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) 🙌🏼 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 🤎

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:
🦉 Wild is the Witch by Rachel Griffin
🌎 The Never Tilting World by Rin Chupeco
📺 The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun
🌌 Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefluer
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm currently reading 3:
🫖 A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers
🩸 Blood Like Magic by Liselle Sambury
🖌 Portrait of a Thief by Grace D Li

Three Reasons Why You Need a Maxi Skirt

Three Reasons Why You Need a Maxi Skirt

Alright my party people – Happy Memorial Day!  I hope you’ve spent the long weekend relaxing by the pool or beach with a drink in hand, soaking up the rays of warm sunshine.  Sadly, Richmond decided to be a total party pooper and rain through Saturday and Sunday, but it was all good in the hood, because if you read my post on Friday, you’ll know I was busy renovating my home!  It’s coming along, and I couldn’t be more excited about the progress!  (I gotta give a shoutout to my girl Olivia.  Not only did she and her husband come to help me move furniture and paint, but she also took these photos for me – very last minute, I might add.  I’m so grateful for friends like her!)

Now let’s get to the good stuff!  I recently received this stunning maxi skirt from Chicwish, and upon styling it, had the sudden thought, “why don’t I wear these more often?”  I came to the conclusion that while maxi dresses are all fine and dandy (and I truly love them), maxi skirts are on a whole other level; for three reasons – and these are the reasons why you need to get one … like, now.

1) They give you SHAPE

While maxi dresses are beautiful and elongating, they can sometimes be a bit shapeless.  With maxi skirts, you’re guaranteed to be cinched in at the waist, no matter what kind of top you pair with them.  I chose this open knit to wear with my skirt, and I let it slide off my shoulder and slouch loosely above my waistline after tucking it in. While it’s more of a boyfriend fit, it doesn’t appear boxy, thanks to my maxi.

2) They give you OPTIONS

Don’t feel like shaving your legs today?  No big deal, just throw on your maxi skirt and you’re golden.  Want to look totally put together with little-to-no effort?  Maxi skirt it up for the ultimate elegance.  You got a new top but you’re kinda tired of wearing pants and shorts with it?  Try it with a maxi skirt and see how you feel!  There are so many ways these lovely pieces bring panache to your life!

3) They give you GLAMOUR

Okay, let’s be real, I was spinning this entire shoot.  Go ahead, ask Olivia.  I seriously couldn’t stop twirling in this stunning skirt.  I felt like a princess (and I even texted her that after I saw the photos)!  This particular skirt is what flowy maxi dreams are made of!  Not only is it still available in all sizes XS to XXL, but you can request custom lengths.  So if you don’t have as much height on you, or you’re much taller than me, fret not!

So, there you have it!  These are the three reasons why you need a maxi skirt in your life, and if you don’t believe me, just go ahead and try one out.  I bet it’ll completely change your mind.  They’re totally fabulous and make you feel like a queen!  And to all you queens out there who are already rocking this style – how do you wear your maxi skirts?  I’m all for finding new inspo!

Aside from that, I love this one particularly. It looks amazing with that cold shoulder sweater too. I would have been twirling around too!

Saying goodbye to your furbabies never gets easier Saying goodbye to your furbabies never gets easier. I’ve done it more than once in my life, but somehow, it hurt more than anything to give those last kisses to my sweet Luna girl.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I got Luna - also known as Bean, Squish, Bug, Babygirl, Chubbo, Mommy’s Girl, Bebe, and Lu - in May 2014 as a fluffy, playful, and SASSY 7-week-old kitten. At the time, Luna was actually NOT the most popular cat name in the world and I felt so original (lol). The name suited her quirky character. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She was there with me through the literal worst times of my life and she went through hell right along with me. Both of us came out stronger, albeit a little guarded. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My Lu was CHUBBY as heck, not at ALL a snuggly lap cat, and very particular about who she trusted. But with me? She was precious. She knew when I had a gastroparesis flare-up and would jump on the bed to keep me company. If I was crying, she’d come from another room and nuzzle against me. She always took care of me - and the sentiment was returned. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A few years ago, she began struggling with her health. I did everything in my power to help her heal. Injections, pills, therapies - no time or expense spared. She became a LAP CAT during all of this - never wanting to leave our side during the struggle. She was the absolute sweetest, snuggliest bean even in the midst of her pain. But after over 2 years of fighting, she told us it was time to say goodbye on July 5, 2022.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My heart feels like it’ll never fully heal again right now, but I’m thankful to know she’s no longer in pain. B stayed by her side until her final breath and I showered her with endless affection (and copious tears) right until she fell asleep. I’m going to miss her FIERCELY. I already do. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She was a firecracker who brought so much joy and love into my life and I’ll forever be thankful for the impact she made and the companionship she provided. My best little girl.
Have you done a mid-year reading check-in yet? 📚
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What a wild year 2022 has been so far 😵‍💫 I've found new favorite authors, made progress on my original TBR, checked out some great backlist books, and hit some super exciting goals! 🙌🏼 I'm not going to *just* share my faves or least faves, but instead I'm going to share some of the fun stats from my reading year so far! 🤎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Out of the 30 books I just *HAD TO* read this year, I've read 24
- Out of my numerical goal of 120 for the whole year, I've read 119
- I've rated 44 books with 4.5/5 stars (hence my struggle when someone asks for a favorite from the year so far)
- I've read 16 ARCs from 12 different publishers (this makes me want to bawl with happiness because this was such a massive goal for me when I began book blogging!)
- I've participated in 10 buddy-reads
- I've added 38 books to my shelves (either purchased by me after I read and loved a book, given as a gift, or sent by a generous author/publisher)
- I've discovered that there's a chance I *might* like romance more than fantasy now and that's totally okay!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What has your reading looked like in 2022? ☕️

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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) 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some of the other stories I loved as a kid that I'd like to see "adulted" are:
👑 A Little Princess
🧞‍♂️ Aladdin
 🐁 Stuart Little (it could be cute okay? like some kind of fantasy?)
👒 Madeline
⚜️ Rumplestiltskin (I've only seen this done once and I wasn’t obsessed so I need more!)
☂️ Mary Poppins
🐎 Misty of Chincoteague
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you enjoy any of those stories as a kid? 🤎

Why did you join bookstagram? 📖 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Why did you join bookstagram? 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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 🤷🏻‍♀️ 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 🤎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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 🙌🏼 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) 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now, I'm thrilled to have connected with favorite authors, created my own hashtag (hey there #perfectespressopour ☕️), 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 🥹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you for being part of my bookstagram journey 📚

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lately, I've been feeling a bit disappointed with fantasy (which has always been my favorite genre) 😕 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! 🏳️‍🌈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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) 🙌🏼 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 🤎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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:
🦉 Wild is the Witch by Rachel Griffin
🌎 The Never Tilting World by Rin Chupeco
📺 The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun
🌌 Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefluer
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm currently reading 3:
🫖 A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers
🩸 Blood Like Magic by Liselle Sambury
🖌 Portrait of a Thief by Grace D Li
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 And I have 2 more on my immediate list:
🥀 Malice by Heather Walter
☀️ Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read any of these? 📚
