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 €
Thank you for being part of my bookstagram journey πŸ“š

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 €

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

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

What I Was Loving in September

Well hello, October, old friend. It’s good to see you.

We waved “so-long” to September yesterday, and today I’m thrilled to greet one of my favorite months of the year! October will bring all the last-minute wedding details, Halloween, and hopefully some cooler weather. RVA still hasn’t gotten the memo that it’s autumn, and the temperatures are in the high 80’s! Definitely not conducive to shooting sweaters and layers. But I’m so thankful for all the fun favorites September brought along, so let’s jump straight on in!

Outfit Details
blazer c/o Macy’s | top c/o Macy’s | pants c/o Macy’s | similar bag | earrings c/o Sugarfix | similar booties

Favorite Clothing Items

Well, to say I was impressed by Macy’s this past month would be a major understatement. I shopped there as a kid, but lost sight of their importance as an adult. During a collaboration to celebrate their #FindRemarkable campaign and fall fashion event, I did some serious online browsing, along with in-store shopping. Not only did I find some steals for myself, but my mom even ended up purchasing her mother-of-the-bride dress and shoes there (and saved big time, I might add)! That being said, my favorite clothing item of September were these pants – a.k.a. my first pair of Levi’s ever!

I haven’t even had a chance to photograph so many of the items I purchased in September. It has been so hot and rainy! But I’ve worn this top more times than I can count, and constantly receive compliments on it. I think I’ll be getting more colors soon!

This cardigan is definitely a new obsession of mine. It’s incredibly soft and slouchy. I love the oversized fit so much, and even find myself reaching for it in the middle of my day, when I need something cozy to wear while I’m sitting at my desk.

Favorite Accessories

Over a year ago, I purchased a blush-colored tote to carry around all my stuff. Something that could fit my laptop, camera, planner, etc. and I was pleasantly surprised with how well my bag held up. I couldn’t believe my eyes when they brought it back this season in black! I snatched it up immediately and don’t regret it one bit.

In my opinion, white sneakers will never go out of style. I’m not talking about those chunky “dad sneaks” that are becoming popular lately, but lightweight, classic tennis shoes that can be worn with anything. I love this pair I picked up recently!

Not your typical accessory, but I discovered the beauty ofΒ this bra when I received the dress I’ll be wearing to my bridal shower (don’t worry – dress pics will be coming soon). The neckline on the dress was almost halter-style, while the back had large cut-outs. I was concerned because my strapless bra had too thick of a band, so it was visible in the back, and I couldn’t pull off a normal bra without the straps showing. I actually cried tears of joy when I put on this bra and it workedΒ perfectly beneath the dress. It’s also incredibly comfortable!

Favorite Beauty Items

Maybe it’s the changing season or maybe it’s just a preference of mine, but I can’t get enough of darker eyeshadow looks lately! So yet again, I gravitate towards this palette I received last Christmas as a gift from my sister. It provides endless options!

This is the only lotion my skin seems to like anymore. I get very dry, itchy skin throughout the cooler months (and even the warmer ones, sometimes) so I find myself slathering up on a regular basis. Plus, the scent is nearly nonexistent!

I’ve been carryingΒ this lip product in my purse, because I’m really not the biggest lipstick fan ever, and it’s perfect in those moments where I’d like a little extra colorΒ plus some moisture! I have it in a pretty summery shade right now, but I’ll be picking up a darker neutral tone soon.

Favorite Books

Alright, time for every Potterhead ever to want me locked away in Azkaban, but I confess I’ve never read the Harry Potter books all the way through. Being that I’m also a major bookworm, and swear to read every book before watching the movie, this is a real failure. In my defense, I was overly terrified as a child, waited til I was an adult to read the books, and then after the first book, thought, “Oh I’ll just watch the first movie …” I’ve watched all eight movies more times than I can count, but have never finished reading the book series. So, my goal is to pour through them before the wedding. I’m about to begin “Prisoner of Azkaban” and I’m just eating them up!

I also got a chance to read “The Hating Game” which was unexpectedly delightful. I pride myself in being a total fantasy/sci-fi book nerd, but I took a chance on this romance novel, and found it to be the perfect balance of fluff and an actually decent storyline.

Favorite Movies & TV Shows

After much persuading from my parents, I decided to binge-watch This Is Us before the season 3 premiere. I’m pretty shocked I only teared up once, but I will say it is excellently-acted. I love the cast dearly, and the plot is gripping.

I just began Manifest and I’m already hooked! It’s got some Heroes-like elements, with acting by Josh Dallas (fondly known for his role as Prince Charming in Once Upon a Time).

If you couldn’t already tell, I’m pretty psyched about the fall TV line-up! I’m getting my laughs in withΒ The Good Place and can’t wait to see where this season takes the show.

Favorite Food & Drinks

Alright, so to be honest, I haven’t been enjoying as much as I typically would, because it’s a nuisance to take out my Invisalign, brush my teeth after eating, and put it back in any time I want a snack. However, I did discover the new cafΓ©, Bravo Rocco, at Stony Point Fashion Park, and thoroughly enjoyed their autumn spice latte (not sweet, quite spicy, and a great option for people like me who don’t like PSLs). You could also file this under “favorite spots“!

Another beverage, of course, is my mom’s spiced mocha (I shared the recipe for itΒ here). This is a favorite of mine all day, every day – but especially around this time of year!

Favorite Music

Thank you, Lauren Daigle, for releasing one of my favorite albums ever. I have been listening to this on repeat and can’t get enough. Sometimes I even fall asleep to it at night.

And the award for the most outstanding vocals goes to Tori Kelly. Her song, “Masterpiece,” is one of my favorites when I’m getting ready in the morning. It totally pumps me up! I just wish I had the chops to sing it as phenomenally!

Of course, I was counting down the days until Logic released his latest album. If you give it a listen, make sure to hear every song in order. There’s a flow to this album like none other.

Favorite Blog Posts

I couldn’t believe my luck taking the photos forΒ this post. There was zero traffic, the rain had just cleared up, and it was comfortably cool outside. I absolutely love the outfit, as well!

Breaking fashion rules is my specialty, so writingΒ this post seemed only fitting. Plus, I wear the piecesΒ all.the.time and can truly attest to their greatness!

Your Favorite Blog Posts

Not surprisingly, you all agreed with my first choice for favorite!

In second place wasΒ this post, which got an insane amount of Pinterest traffic. Thanks pinning babes!

It must be the time of year, becauseΒ this post that I wrote in January (but edited last month) seems to be getting loads of love all over again!

Happy October-ing!

    Love that outfit!!! Perfect for Fall. We are still experiencing temps in the high 80’s as well. I am so ready for the days to be in the 60’s or 70’s. The ABH palette is so pretty and I agree you can create so many different looks with it! I’ve recently been loving the ColourPop Yes, Please! palette. It’s seriously amazing and so affordable. I love watching “This Is Us”. It’s so good.

    I have never read the Harry Potter books. My fiance has and he’s currently rereading them. I need to get on that.

    I love your style! I’m glad you’re reading Harry Potter, I’m one of those big Potter fans πŸ˜‰ The books have so much more detail than the movies, it’s pretty incredible. I’m also loving the Good Place right now. I feel like I need more laughter in my life and this is doing the trick!

    I am a HUGE MACY’s fan! We moved overseas for the last 3 years, but I can’t wait to start shopping there again. I actually worked there for a year during my Junior/Senior year of college.

    And I am IN LOVE with Lauren Daigles album!

    First of all I LOVE that blazer. It is so cute! Secondly, the bra you shared is also super cute – and actually looks comfy. I’m so glad you are finally reading the HP series. It’s totally worth it. Maybe I should re-read them… I was so excited when This Is Us and The Good Place came back. I hadn’t heard of the other show you mentioned, but I’m definitely intrigued now. Anyway, thanks for sharing and I hope you have an amazing October!

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 €
Thank you for being part of my bookstagram journey πŸ“š

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 €
Have you read any great Alice in Wonderland reimaginings? πŸ‡

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 €
Have you read any of these? πŸ“š

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 €

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
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

I definitely do! 🫢🏼 In the past few years, I've read more and more books like this and they always leave me feeling utterly fascinated (and maybe a little confused?) πŸ€” I gotta say that writing reviews for them can be a bit tough, but reading them is a lot of fun πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Books I enjoy that are no plot, just vibes:

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
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“–
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)
πŸ’¬ Text messages
πŸ—Ί Maps
✍🏼 Handwriting (especially in the form of letters or lists)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
