A friend asked me the other day how I found myself enjoying fantasy and I told her that it started when I read THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA with my family at 6 years old 🦁 It was a popular genre on the bookshelves in our home, so it came as no surprise that a few years later I was picking up THE HOBBIT and THE LORD OF THE RINGS πŸ’ I never really knew life without fantasy novels and I'm really grateful for the fact that my parents always encouraged my desire to read as many books from as many different genres as I could get my hands on πŸ“š

What are your ultimate ESCAPE reads? 🌌
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
One of the reasons I love fantasy so much is because it is the furthest thing from reality! πŸ‰ Since reading IS my escape, I appreciate books that take me somewhere else entirely - another world, another dimension, somewhere magical πŸ’«
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Some of my favorite escape reads are:
♠️ CARAVAL - Remember, it's only a game... or is it? 
✨ THE STARLESS SEA - Follow the clues: a bee, a key, and a sword.
πŸ— THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY - Secret doors written into existence. 
πŸ¦‹ STRANGE THE DREAMER - A moth, light upon the brow, can transport you into the dream.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
RENEGADES is one of the first ones I added to my list because I flew through this trilogy in a week last year and I'd like to take my time with it when I reread so I can really indulge in the incredible story πŸ¦ΈπŸ»β€β™€οΈ I also added THE LUNAR CHRONICLES (on a Marissa Meyer kick, clearly) as well as some of my comfort reads from high school like PAPER TOWNS and DELIRIUM 😱

"Do you know how you live three hundred years? she says.

The Best Wineries to Visit in the State of Virginia


Nearly every autumn, I take a road trip to visit all of my favorite wineries in Charlottesville, VA. Now I’m rounding up my top picks for you to check out!

I want to start by saying that I’m no expert when it comes to wineries, but I do love traveling to these gorgeous spots in my state to explore all they have to offer. My sister and brother-in-law go to Charlottesville wineries every year on their wedding anniversary, and now my husband and I have a similar love for this tradition since we honeymooned in Charlottesville! I’m still exploring and discovering new hits, but each time I try a new spot that I love, I’ll make sure to add it to this list for all of you!

For now, let me introduce you to the wineries that have made it onto my favorites list!

Top Wineries in Charlottesville

Veritas

The year we got engaged, Brandon and I visited this winery on a gloomy autumn day. It was raining outside, and we could barely see the mountains because of all the fog. However, inside was a roaring fire, cozy couches to lounge on, and some of the tastiest wines! We still highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to visit Cville.

Glass House

The atmosphere here is like none other. They have a massive, tropical conservatory where you can sit and enjoy a cheese board, live music, and relaxation after your tasting. You can even purchase a glass of wine to pair with the cheese. They also have a dog that runs around the vineyard, and that same pup may come and sit by your knee in hopes of a piece of cheese!

Barboursville

This is one of our latest finds, and we loved every second. They had one of the most expansive tastings we’ve found so far, and an incredibly beautiful location. You can take your glass of wine and explore the vineyards, roam through some ruins, and then come back with a picnic lunch to sit outside and enjoy the views. My husband and I also found out that my parents love this winery, as do my sister and brother-in-law, so we seem to be keeping favorites in the family!

Blenheim

Owned by Dave Matthews (yep, that Dave Matthews); this vineyard was the first I ever went to in Charlottesville, and I loved it! As the website states, “the building is split into the tasting room above, from which you can peer through paneled glass floors into the wine production facility below.” I loved being able to wander upstairs with my wine and see how it’s being made right below my feet! Take a bottle onto the back deck and listen to some great music (I bet you can guess what might be playing) while you sip.

Horton

Horton does things very simply, and I appreciate this. You can pick ten wines out of quite the long list to discover during your tasting. This is fun because it means that every time you visit, you can try a new set of ten wines! Then head outside for gorgeous sights and a quiet seating area that’s perfect for a picnic. Brandon and I sat out here until golden hour was nearly over, just relishing the sunlight and autumn foliage.

Chisholm

This adorable vineyard was right down the street from our honeymoon Airbnb last year, and we loved it! The tasting was done inside what felt like a little log cabin, and since we went around Thanksgiving, they had a Christmas tree farm outside. Let me tell you, the scents there were spectacular. Pine and wine? Yes please! But I could see myself loving this spot at any time of year.

Flying Fox

This is a recent addition to my list of favorite wineries. Apparently, their current tasting room is relatively new – and you can tell from their eclectic and unique decor. Unlike most wineries, they’ve got a hipster feel with leather couches, quirky wallpaper, and picturesque corners. They also let you taste their vermouth – which is such a pleasant and different experience!

Keswick

This beautiful vineyard is further away from our typical spots, but it’s well worth the drive. The wines are spectacular and the tasting room is so cozy. If you go on a weekend, you may get the chance to sit outside and listen to some live music. Pets are also allowed on the premises, as long as they’re on leashes! It’s the perfect place to sip wine, pet a dog, and enjoy the scenery!

Do you have any rereads planned for this year? πŸ“š

I found myself stating, "I need to read that again," on a regular basis, so I put together a list of some of the books and series I'd like to revisit in 2021 πŸ“ Now I really can't wait to dive into some old favorites and even different formats of recent reads πŸ“–
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
RENEGADES is one of the first ones I added to my list because I flew through this trilogy in a week last year and I'd like to take my time with it when I reread so I can really indulge in the incredible story πŸ¦ΈπŸ»β€β™€οΈ I also added THE LUNAR CHRONICLES (on a Marissa Meyer kick, clearly) as well as some of my comfort reads from high school like PAPER TOWNS and DELIRIUM 😱

Do you write down book quotes as you read them? πŸ“
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I don't like to mark my books in any way, but I do want to remember the quotes that impact me as I read ✍🏼 I'll update my Goodreads progress, jot down a note in my phone, or sometimes I'll even take photos of the book and "highlight" the photo πŸ˜‚
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
One of my recent favorite quotes was this:
"Do you know how you live three hundred years? she says.
And when he asks how, she smiles. "The same way you live one. A second at a time." - The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue (aka quite possibly the most quotable book I've ever read) πŸ’«

When I read Instructions for Dancing, it made me miss ballroom dancing, which is something I did for 3 years in high school! πŸ‘  I haven't danced like that in so long, but reading this inspired me to begin practicing some again (even if it's in my room, by myself πŸ˜‚)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I absolutely loved every minute of what was yet another masterpiece by one of my forever favorite authors, @nicolayoon 🀍 So thankful that I was able to read the ARC via @netgalley and I've already pre-ordered the physical copy to read again when it comes out in June! 🌸

Personally, I think that trilogies are the exact perfect length for a series (not too long, but not too short) πŸ™ˆ Maybe that's why some of my favorite books are part of trilogies! πŸ€” I was thinking about this so much that I actually wrote a full blog post about it last week and I'm now on the hunt to find more trilogies to add to my ever-growing list πŸ“
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Some of my forever favorites are:
πŸ’Œ TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE
πŸ¦ΈπŸ»β€β™€οΈ RENEGADES
πŸŽͺ CARAVAL
πŸ–€ A DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC
πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¬ CRAZY RICH ASIANS

Are you a fan of MARVEL SUPERHEROES? πŸ¦ΈπŸ½β€β™‚οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
To say I'm a huge Marvel nerd would be an understatement! πŸ™ˆ I love learning more about the characters in comics and graphic novels so I was thrilled to receive an ARC of MILES MORALES: SHOCK WAVES by one of my all-time favorite authors, @justinwritesya (release date: June 1, 2021) πŸ•Έ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
This story was compelling, heartwarming, and wonderfully-written, and I loved that it also brought into play some very real discussions about everyday challenges πŸ™ŒπŸΌ If you like MARVEL, SPIDER-MAN, or GRAPHIC NOVELS - you will love this so much! πŸ•· (I did write a full review which you can find on my blog)! πŸ’»

Do you ever read graphic novels? πŸ’₯
