I was SO thrilled when I saw @kristinaforest's announcement for The Partner Plot, an adult romance that follows Violet (the older sister of Lily from The Neighbor Favor) and her high school sweetheart 🩷 It's coming out in the spring of 2024 and I'm already counting down the days until it's in my hands πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

What are your favorite adult fantasy series? βš”οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A few years ago, I devoured The Daevabad Trilogy and completely fell in love with the absolutely magnificent world-building 😍
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Adult fantasy can be tricky if you're used to the pacing in YA fantasy, but after some time, you might find that you really enjoy the way that the story develops πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Some of my favorite completed adult fantasy series:
πŸ’š The Green Bone Saga (Jade City, Jade War, Jade Legacy)
πŸ§›πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ All Souls (A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, The Book of Life)
🐺 The Wilderwood (For the Wolf, For the Throne)
⏳ Shades of Magic (A Darker Shade of Magic, A Gathering of Shadows, A Conjuring of Light)

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I certainly felt that about a few of the books I read this past month, but especially:
πŸ«– The Tea Dragon Society - this entire MG graphic novel trilogy just warmed my heart so much. It's precious and wonderful and if you haven't read it, please do because you won't be able to wipe the smile off your face.
πŸ” Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers - within the first couple of chapters, I was belly-laughing so hard I was crying. This was hilarious and adorable and I didn't want it to end. I immediately began recommending it to everyone. 
⛱️ Happy Place - because of course! I mean, this book did make me sob my eyes out multiple times, but it also made me belly laugh more than once as well. It was perfect in every way and very quickly became my second fave of Emily's books (just after PWMOV)!
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Thank goodness I'm a big fan of rereading because I know I'll be revisiting all of these books again in the future πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

The Versatility of a Bold Boyfriend Blazer for Spring 2018

I’m not sure I’ve ever loved a piece of clothing as much as I love this bold, yellow boyfriend blazer.

Truly, this item has been a game-changer when it comes to how I think about transitioning my wardrobe from winter to spring. Β I knew when I started shopping for the upcoming season, that vibrant colors and patterns would become a huge part of the creative process. I’m constantly inspired by bright tones, so just adding this blazer to my closet instantly gave me a handful of styling ideas.

One of the most brilliant things about a blazer such as this one, is that it can be incredibly versatile. Sure, I might wear it with a pair of polka dot pants. I also may wear it with a sundress. Later on in the season, I could wear it with a crop top and shorts. I see it even being excellent in a professional setting. Β After all, that’s what blazers were originally created for, right? The best part about this one? It’s currently available in yellow, cream, and navy – and it only costs $24! Β In fact, I love it so much that I’m thinking of picking up the navy one as well!


Outfit Details
similar dress | blazer | similar heels | bag | earringsΒ | phone case

I was quite lucky to bring this blazer with me toΒ Graduate Richmond for my birthday staycation.

Since we had the opportunity to enjoy the rooftop (though it won’t officially open to the public until April), we took advantage of the empty space with a gorgeous view, and captured photos of my outfit! Β However, the wind was howling, and being that many stories up, the chill was quite fierce! Β My sleeveless, backless sundress – while cute – was certainly not warm, so my blazer not only added a fun pop of color, but also provided warmth!

Time and again, I’ve found myself reaching for this piece of outerwear. Β I look forward to the next opportunity I get to wear every time I have to hang it up again. Β Quite a while ago, I wrote an article on mastering “business casual.” Β In it, I mention that owning basics with a twist can be the one thing that will change your outlook on that style of dress. Β One thing I would add, looking back, is how necessary a blazer is – especially one in a color that brings joy into your life! Β You’d be surprised how wearing a happy color can change the way you feel about your work day!

Would you reach for this boyfriend blazer as often as me?  How would you style it?

What are your favorite adult fantasy series? βš”οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A few years ago, I devoured The Daevabad Trilogy and completely fell in love with the absolutely magnificent world-building 😍
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Adult fantasy can be tricky if you're used to the pacing in YA fantasy, but after some time, you might find that you really enjoy the way that the story develops πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Some of my favorite completed adult fantasy series:
πŸ’š The Green Bone Saga (Jade City, Jade War, Jade Legacy)
πŸ§›πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ All Souls (A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, The Book of Life)
🐺 The Wilderwood (For the Wolf, For the Throne)
⏳ Shades of Magic (A Darker Shade of Magic, A Gathering of Shadows, A Conjuring of Light)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you read any of these yet? πŸ“š

What's one book you'd recommend to someone just di What's one book you'd recommend to someone just diving into fiction for the first time? πŸ“–
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I've asked this in the past, but I'm curious how the answers might change since so many books have come out in the last several years that I think would fit this perfectly πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I don't have many IRL friends who enjoy reading, but I have been lucky enough to recommend books to fiction newbies in the past and I usually start with The Midnight Library! πŸ“š I think it's a book everyone should read (but that's because it saved my life, so it's very special to me) and I especially recommend it during May, Mental Health Awareness Month! πŸ’š
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
‼️ I’m taking the next week away from social media/blogging for my own mental health. I’ll probably be lurking some but please note that I won’t be updating much of anything til after the 15th 🫢🏼
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you read The Midnight Library yet? β˜•οΈ

Did you love any of your April reads so much that Did you love any of your April reads so much that you wanted to immediately turn around and read them again? 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I certainly felt that about a few of the books I read this past month, but especially:
πŸ«– The Tea Dragon Society - this entire MG graphic novel trilogy just warmed my heart so much. It's precious and wonderful and if you haven't read it, please do because you won't be able to wipe the smile off your face.
πŸ” Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers - within the first couple of chapters, I was belly-laughing so hard I was crying. This was hilarious and adorable and I didn't want it to end. I immediately began recommending it to everyone. 
⛱️ Happy Place - because of course! I mean, this book did make me sob my eyes out multiple times, but it also made me belly laugh more than once as well. It was perfect in every way and very quickly became my second fave of Emily's books (just after PWMOV)!
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Thank goodness I'm a big fan of rereading because I know I'll be revisiting all of these books again in the future πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

I'm currently rereading Archenemies (Renegades 2) and I'd absolutely visit Gatlon City to see all of the people with superpowers - but I’d also be a little nervous as a β€œsidekick” civilian πŸ™ˆ Maybe Sketch could lend me some of his powers? ✍🏼 
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I'm also reading Stealing Infinity and I probably wouldn't visit because I'd be too scared of getting unalived right away ☠️ This is the problem with fantasy books... I simultaneously wanna visit but also just don't wanna be deceased within two seconds of entering the high-stakes world πŸ˜…

What was the last cartoon cover romance book you r What was the last cartoon cover romance book you read and loved? β˜€οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
While a lot of people tend to use spring and summer as an "excuse" to read romance, I'm definitely someone who reads equal amounts of romance and fantasy all year long! πŸ₯°
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A recent favorite of mine was The Neighbor Favor, which I picked for last month’s @litlovebox πŸ“– It was absolutely adorable in every way and I know I'll want to read it again in the future 🫢🏼
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
In the past couple of months, I've also enjoyed:
🎀 Funny Feelings by Tarah DeWitt
🏰 The Renaissance of Gwen Hathaway by Ashley Schumacher
🍿 Never Been Kissed by Timothy Janovsky
πŸ“» Ten Rules for Faking It by Sophie Sullivan
🌾 In the Weeds by BK Borison
🌲 Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute by Talia Hibbert
πŸŽ’ Begin Again by Emma Lord
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
The Neighbor Favor also paired wonderfully with the fantastic coffee and cookies that came in my @litlovebox package β˜•οΈ Definitely one of the best bookish boxes I've seen out there, and you can use STEPH5 for a discount when you subscribe πŸ“š
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you read any of these cute romances? 🀎
