β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I haven't done this in a while and I'm usually pretty terrible at it, but it's fun and I'm always curious how people describe their CR with emojis πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Here are mine:
Book 1: πŸ‘‘πŸ¦΄πŸ©ΈπŸŽ
Book 2: πŸ“–πŸ‘©πŸΌβ€β€οΈβ€πŸ‘¨πŸ»πŸš€πŸ’«
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Okay, maybe those were awful emoji descriptions, but it sure was fun to try and get creative with them πŸ˜‚ And in case you were curious, my books are For the Throne (arc) and Bookish and the Beast πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Are either of these on your TBR? πŸ“š

I'm currently reading two books that are closely related with things (outside of reading) that I love: the NBA and Marvel πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Shot Clock by @justinwritesya and Caron Butler (ARC) is a middle-grade novel all about heart, hope, and of course lots of great basketball πŸ€ This has been the perfect book to read while I watch the NBA conference finals β›ΉπŸΎ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
We Were Dreamers: An Immigrant Superhero Origin Story by @simuliu has been absolutely phenomenal 😍 I've been a huge fan of Simu for quite some time and learning more about his family, his life, and how he became Shang-Chi has been really incredible πŸ’₯ Plus, he narrates the audiobook 🎧
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
It's really great to discover books that relate to my other interests because it just makes me feel so comforted and happy! 🀍 Now I need more books about superheroes and basketball πŸ˜‰

I didn't even know duologies were a thing until I joined bookstagram, but over the past couple of years, I've discovered several favorites (so many that I actually wrote a whole blog post about them) 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A few that I love a little extra:
πŸƒ Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

πŸ‘‘ A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A Brown
βš“οΈ All the Stars and Teeth by Adalyn Grace
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
And a couple with upcoming sequels I'm anticipating:
🐺 The Wilderwood by Hannah Whitten
🦒 Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim

I lost my cool (in the best way) when @what_eats_owls announced the release date for Painted Devils, the gorgeous sequel to Little Thieves! πŸ₯€ It's going to be torturous waiting a whole year, but I know it'll also be totally worth it! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I also can't count the number of times I've watched the trailer for First Kill - the upcoming Netflix show based on @veschwab's short story in Vampires Never Get Old: Tales with Fresh Bite πŸ§›πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ It's been quite some time since I was this excited for a vampire show 🩸

And in YA romance news, I'm geeking out over the cover and title reveal for @dilemmalord's next book! 🀍 It sounds like it'll be the perfect way to kick off 2023 (yes, yes I am thinking that far ahead and pondering which Taylor Swift song to pair with the release) πŸ™ˆ

Do you DNF books? πŸ™…πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
This has been such a controversial topic for so long and I've personally struggled with it A LOT πŸ™ˆ For years, I refused to quit reading a book unless the subject matter was too triggering or frightening for me to handle 🫣 I would even go so far as to read entire series that I literally didn't like, just to see if the books got any better and changed my mind 🧠
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
HOWEVER... this recently changed for me! πŸ™€ This month, I chose to put down four books that weren't serving me - and it was so insanely freeing! 🍾 I felt like a weight was lifted off me, not forcing myself to read things I wasn't into - and while I still might give some books the benefit of the doubt and finish them (some of my favorite books of all time started off with me feeling very so-so about them)... I will no longer be struggling my way through series I'm not enjoying or novels that make me feel uneasy πŸ™ŒπŸΌ 
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you ever almost DNF'd a book that you wound up loving? 🀎 Which was it? πŸ“–

I'm all about underrated books and try to recommend my faves on a regular basis because I think that they deserve just as much love as the hyped books 🀎 BUT I also enjoy reading my fair share of hyped books (even if they don't always live up to the hype) πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
The last few books I read that 100% lived up to the hype were:
🐐 Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez (this book made me feel so seen it was unreal. I wept several times)
πŸͺ· Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer (I was so thrilled with how much I enjoyed this fantasy)
πŸ’„ The No-Show by Beth O'Leary (this author is usually a winner for me and her latest release didn't disappoint)
πŸ› The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake (I was unsure for the first 3rd of the book but it wound up being a 5-star read by the end!)

The Best of Culottes for Summer

If you’ve been searching for culottes (gouchos, cropped flares, etc.), then these are the wide-legged pants you’ll need to get your hands on right away!

Culottes, A.K.A. gauchos, A.K.A. wide-legged pants, A.K.A. cropped flares – A.K.A. the pants of many names. A.K.A. my new favorite kind of pants. Sure, they go by an array of names, but one thing is for sure: they’re comfy AF no matter what you call them. This is the first pair of true culottes that I’ve purchased. The only other item of clothing I own in this style is a jumpsuit, so I was thrilled to find a pair of bottoms – and they only cost $16!

Of course, there’s no way I could let ya’ll just read through this post without seeing some more options. (A gal’s gotta have options, right?) So I took the time to round up some other pairs that I know you’ll love! Keep in mind, these pants are flattering, comfortable, and stylish for many occasions. In fact, I’m wearing them as I type – and I just got back from brunch and errands!


Outfit Details
similar top | pants | similar bag | shoes | similar earrings | watch

Wide-legged pants may not be suited to everybody, but they can be worn by nearly every body!

I had someone tell me the other day that they would never wear wide-legged pants or cropped flared denim because they felt it would never look good on them. To that I say “pish posh!” If you know where to look, you can work just about any style you please! Try reaching outside of your comfort zone of retailers and you may just find out that there’s the most ideal pair of wide-legged pants right there waiting for you.

Now that I’ve said my piece, would you give wide-legged pants a try?

    Culottes have been a summer staple for us this summer! The perfect piece to wear instead of a dress or shorts! Love how you styled them with a cute crop top!

    Culottes have always been a favorite of mine. If I’m not wearing jeans, then I’m most likely wearing culottes. I always pick them before shorts or skirts. You have some great choices here!

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I haven't done this in a while and I'm usually pretty terrible at it, but it's fun and I'm always curious how people describe their CR with emojis πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Here are mine:
Book 1: πŸ‘‘πŸ¦΄πŸ©ΈπŸŽ

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Okay, maybe those were awful emoji descriptions, but it sure was fun to try and get creative with them πŸ˜‚ And in case you were curious, my books are For the Throne (arc) and Bookish and the Beast πŸ™ˆ

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I'm currently reading two books that are closely related with things (outside of reading) that I love: the NBA and Marvel πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Shot Clock by @justinwritesya and Caron Butler (ARC) is a middle-grade novel all about heart, hope, and of course lots of great basketball πŸ€ This has been the perfect book to read while I watch the NBA conference finals β›ΉπŸΎ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
We Were Dreamers: An Immigrant Superhero Origin Story by @simuliu has been absolutely phenomenal 😍 I've been a huge fan of Simu for quite some time and learning more about his family, his life, and how he became Shang-Chi has been really incredible πŸ’₯ Plus, he narrates the audiobook 🎧
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
It's really great to discover books that relate to my other interests because it just makes me feel so comforted and happy! 🀍 Now I need more books about superheroes and basketball πŸ˜‰

I didn't even know duologies were a thing until I joined bookstagram, but over the past couple of years, I've discovered several favorites (so many that I actually wrote a whole blog post about them) 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A few that I love a little extra:
πŸƒ Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
πŸ¦‹ Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor
πŸ‘‘ A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A Brown
βš“οΈ All the Stars and Teeth by Adalyn Grace
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
And a couple with upcoming sequels I'm anticipating:
🐺 The Wilderwood by Hannah Whitten
🦒 Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

I lost my cool (in the best way) when @what_eats_owls announced the release date for Painted Devils, the gorgeous sequel to Little Thieves! πŸ₯€ It's going to be torturous waiting a whole year, but I know it'll also be totally worth it! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I also can't count the number of times I've watched the trailer for First Kill - the upcoming Netflix show based on @veschwab's short story in Vampires Never Get Old: Tales with Fresh Bite πŸ§›πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ It's been quite some time since I was this excited for a vampire show 🩸
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
And in YA romance news, I'm geeking out over the cover and title reveal for @dilemmalord's next book! 🀍 It sounds like it'll be the perfect way to kick off 2023 (yes, yes I am thinking that far ahead and pondering which Taylor Swift song to pair with the release) πŸ™ˆ

Do you DNF books? πŸ™…πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
This has been such a controversial topic for so long and I've personally struggled with it A LOT πŸ™ˆ For years, I refused to quit reading a book unless the subject matter was too triggering or frightening for me to handle 🫣 I would even go so far as to read entire series that I literally didn't like, just to see if the books got any better and changed my mind 🧠
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
HOWEVER... this recently changed for me! πŸ™€ This month, I chose to put down four books that weren't serving me - and it was so insanely freeing! 🍾 I felt like a weight was lifted off me, not forcing myself to read things I wasn't into - and while I still might give some books the benefit of the doubt and finish them (some of my favorite books of all time started off with me feeling very so-so about them)... I will no longer be struggling my way through series I'm not enjoying or novels that make me feel uneasy πŸ™ŒπŸΌ 
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you ever almost DNF'd a book that you wound up loving? 🀎 Which was it? πŸ“–

What was the last hyped book you read that actuall What was the last hyped book you read that actually did live up to the hype? πŸ’₯
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I'm all about underrated books and try to recommend my faves on a regular basis because I think that they deserve just as much love as the hyped books 🀎 BUT I also enjoy reading my fair share of hyped books (even if they don't always live up to the hype) πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
The last few books I read that 100% lived up to the hype were:
🐐 Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez (this book made me feel so seen it was unreal. I wept several times)
πŸͺ· Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer (I was so thrilled with how much I enjoyed this fantasy)
πŸ’„ The No-Show by Beth O'Leary (this author is usually a winner for me and her latest release didn't disappoint)
πŸ› The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake (I was unsure for the first 3rd of the book but it wound up being a 5-star read by the end!)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

As you all know very well, I'm not the type of person to purchase books unless I've read them first (my exception being sequels to books I own or authors who never let me down) πŸ™ˆ That being said, I'm pretty picky about which books I DO spend my money on πŸ’³
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I recently did a bit of a haul on #IndependentBookstoreDay to get my hands on some of my favorite books from the past year and I can't wait to have them in my hands soon! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ Below is the list of titles I ordered from my favorite indie shops:
πŸ› The Atlas Six
πŸ‘» Gallant
✨ The Kindred
πŸ“± The Boyfriend Project
πŸ’› Life's Too Short
🎈 All Fired Up (pre-order, since I loved the arc)
