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)

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? 🕯️

#WeddingWednesday: Putting Together Our Registry

This post is in partnership with WeddingWire. As always, all opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the companies that support The Espresso Edition.

This is the fun part, folks!

Brandon and I are so excited that we’re less than five months away from the big day! I can’t believe how quickly time has passed – yet how much still needs to be done before we say “I do!” One of the more enjoyable aspects of wedding planning is putting together the registry. In our case, we only have one because WeddingWire makes it incredibly easy to keep everything in one place. Rather than telling your guests that you’re registered at seven different places, you can just send them to your WeddingWire registry, which keeps everything organized for you.

Alright, if you’re a little confused, let me break it down for you:

First, you’ll set up an account with WeddingWire. They’ve been a massive lifesaver for me during this wedding planning season. From finding vendors to keeping my guest list in order, and now hosting my registry – they’ve got me 100% covered and feeling a lot less stressed!

Second, you’ll head to your favorite stores to register those dream items you’ve been eyeing. Target, West Elm, Amazon, etc. Go nuts!

Third, just go to your WeddingWire registry and import your retail registries. It’s super simple, and within seconds, you’ll see all those pieces from different stores popping up on the page!

Last, but not least, share your registry on your wedding website, on your invitations, or even to social media and start watching those great gifts roll in!

Since Brandon and I still have yet to find the perfect place to live (crossing our fingers that happens soon), our registry is mostly filled with kitchen appliances and electronics. B’s must-have item? A panini press! Mine was a record player that tied for first place with a clothes steamer! Priorities, right? 😂

All my past brides – what were your key registry items?

I’m a little bummed we are missing out on a registry now that we’re in London. It doesn’t make sense to have our family/friends spend so much on shipping, and honestly we want LESS things while we’re here. We decided to go with Honeyfund – basically a polite way of saying give us cash money LOL. So excited for you guys!

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? ☕️

90-100%: hot coffee in a handcrafted thumb mug ☕️
70-89%: lavender vanilla loose-leaf tea in a clear teacup 🫖
50-69%: dry red wine in a square edge stemmed glass🍷
30-49%: taro milk tea with boba in a reusable tumbler 🧋
0-29%: spiced bourbon on the rocks in a crystal glass 🥃
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Aaaaand now I want to enjoy all of these in the near future 🤤 I normally always have the first three on hand, but ya girl wants to try making bubble tea at home and it's been a hot second since I've had a bourbon or whiskey 🤷🏻‍♀️

Do you typically have a drink and snack with you when you read - or are you someone who prefers to eliminate any chance of a mess? 🙈

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? 🕯️

When I was a kid, the idea of tumbling down the rabbit hole or finding a way through the looking glass to Wonderland excited me to no end 🍄 As an adult, I get to enjoy this world in a new light, thanks to Sara's extraordinary imagination and creativity 💭
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I absolutely adored The Wonderland Trials and seriously can't wait to dive into the next book, coming in September 2023 🙌🏼 Will you be reading this classic-inspired sequel when it's released? 📖

My emotions are all over the place when it comes to this particular season of the show, so enjoy the chaotic range of emojis based on my premiere day binge sesh:

🏴‍☠️🪓🫶🏼😳🧇🥵🤔🧨🔫☀️
🩹🌈⛓️🦋😭🌾💪🏼🤬😤😱
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s just scratching the surface, friends 😂 I posted over 100 spoiler-filled stories to my close friends list during premiere day as I binged all 8 episodes, so to say I had a lot of thoughts would be an understatement 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No matter what I thought though (positive or negative), I support this cast and Leigh with my whole heart 🤎 So, I’ll be continuing to stream the season like crazy to get that Crows spin-off/season 3 (and I suggest you do too)! 👌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If I compiled all my spoiler-y watch day videos into something I could share publicly, would you wanna see it? 👀

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 🖤

What was the last read that left you with a book hangover? 📖

Which Shadow and Bone character(s) would you want Which Shadow and Bone character(s) would you want to invite to a watch party? 📺
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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! 🫶🏼

Tell me the last hyped book/series you read that D Tell me the last hyped book/series you read that DID live up to the hype and the last one that DIDN'T 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hyped books are funny things to me because I do read a decent amount of them, but I feel like very few of them actually live up to the praise they receive 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The last one I read and enjoyed was One Dark Window 🪟 The last one that absolutely did NOT live up was The Roughest Draft 👎🏼 The next on my radar is Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries, so I hope I wind up loving it! 🤎

If you could create the perfect bookish subscripti If you could create the perfect bookish subscription box, what would be inside? 📦
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think @litlovebox actually read my mind when they created the Coffee & Chocolate box ☕️ Each month, they send a gourmet bag of coffee (I chose whole beans so I can grind them for espresso), a delicious chocolate snack (walnut toffee and a chocolate lolly for me) and a newly released novel (Georgie, All Along - which sounds so cute) 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you want to indulge in this amazing box for yourself, use STEPH5 for a discount and enjoy all the books, coffee, and chocolate your heart desires 🤎

I love that this is becoming more of a popular sub-genre because I am all about cozy vibes all the time 🤎 

I’ve read The House in the Cerulean Sea, adored A Psalm for the Wild-Built and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, and I have been waiting for my copy of Legends and Lattes at the library for eons, so suggest something NEW! 😉
