Put the last playlist/album you were listening to on shuffle, and for the first song that plays, tell me a book you’ve read that fits the song! 🎶
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The first song that played for me was My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys 🎧 Anyone else listening to The Tortured Poets Department on repeat? 🔁
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The book that immediately came into my head that fits this song is Where the Dark Stands Still 📖 I read it last week and had trouble putting it down! I have a feeling this book is going to stick with me for a while...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read Where the Dark Stands Still? 🦌 And what’s your favorite song on TTPD? 🎶

Are there any books that just feel like spring to you? 🌸
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I asked this question last year and received a lot of answers that involved classics or nonfiction, which surprised me a little bit 😮
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I tend not to pick up these genres as frequently 🤷🏻‍♀️ Instead, I prefer to stick with romance and fantasy 🤎 So if you’re like me and looking for some spring-time recs in these categories, I’ve got you:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🐝 Wind Daughter by Joanna Ruth Meyer (if possible, read Echo North first, as it will help you understand the plot better)
🌙 Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater
🌱 The Garden of Small Beginnings by Abbi Waxman
🐉 The Tea Dragon Society by K O’Neill
🥂 The Party Crasher by Sophie Kinsella
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re looking for even more recommendations, check out my blog for an article with 15 titles that will make your spring reading list bloom 😉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read any of these season-appropriate titles? ☕️

#LTKSeasonal #LTKfindsunder50 #LTKhome

What’s the next backlist book on your TBR? 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m a huge fan of reading backlist books along with new releases and when I set up my priority 24 list for 2024, I included several older titles that I’m really excited to pick up soon 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Next up on my backlist TBR:
🐉 Eragon - I know, I know, I have no clue how I missed this one while growing up, but I did. It’s officially past time to read this fan fave!
❤️‍🔥 Red Rising - I hadn’t heard of this one until I joined bookstagram four years ago, but it’s everywhere and I’m thinking it’s past time I give it a go.
🌅 The Wrath & the Dawn - I really enjoy retellings and knowing this is inspired by One Thousand and One Nights is fascinating to me, plus it’s one of my booksta bestie’s favorites!
🌱 Akarnae - after reading and adoring The Prison Healer trilogy (and rereading and still adoring it this year), I knew I wanted to go through the author’s previous books and this series sounds so cool.
☕️ Before the Coffee Gets Cold - this has been on my TBR for ages and yet I’ve never picked it up. Magical realism and a coffee shop? Yes, please.

If you could have any kind of magic, what would it be? ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I would absolutely want elemental powers 🌬️ It would be so much fun to have control over the weather or the earth in some way 🍃
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This book had some of the coolest magic... a garden where everything that grew there was embued with magical properties of some sort 😱 I was hooked from beginning to end when I picked this up back in October and I’ll definitely be reading it again 📖

#LTKhome #LTKfindsunder50

What’s one fantasy series you wish you saw more people talk about on booksta? ⚔️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While I could share a ridiculously long list of recommendations, right now my brain is stuck on The Prison Healer since I’m currently doing a reread! 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This trilogy has it all:
✨ elemental magic
🏰 royal feuds
😶‍🌫️ hidden identities
🤎 swoony romance
🏹 gripping adventure
🏆 a winning cast of characters
(and so much more)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you haven’t read this YA fantasy trilogy yet, what are you waiting for? ⏳

#LTKhome #LTKfindsunder50

What time of day do you find yourself reading the most? 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No matter what happens during my day, without fail you will absolutely find me curled up in bed with a book every night 🛏️ I can’t let a day go by without reading, so getting an hour (or three) in before I catch some zzz’s is the best 🥱
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, I also spend a bit of time each day listening to my audiobooks—usually while I’m working on mindless tasks in the morning 🎧 And of course, if I wind up with free time in my afternoon or it’s a “lazy” weekend, I love curling up on my couch with my current read, my cat, and a cup of coffee ☕️

#LTKfindsunder50 #LTKhome

Tell me your favorite romance series 🤎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know I haven’t been as active on here lately, but that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped reading 🫣 Life has been pretty challenging recently, so I’ve been escaping into my favorite books as often as possible 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A few of my favorite romance series are:
🎄 Lovelight Farms by BK Borison
🩺 The Friend Zone AND Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez (I thought they were all one series but apparently not?)
📱 The Boyfriend Project by Farrah Rochon
📸 Bright Falls by Ashley Herring Blake
📚 The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams
🥧 When in Rome by Sarah Adams
🍿 Never Been Kissed by Timothy Janovsky
🧮 The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
⚔️ Well Met by Jen DeLuca
🔮 The Witches of Thistle Grove by Lana Harper

#LTKhome #LTKfindsunder50

Tell me the most swoon-worthy, romantic book you’ve read in the last couple of years 🤎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your book choice doesn’t even need to be categorized in the romance genre... I know mine certainly isn’t 🙈 No question about it, Bring Me Your Midnight is absolutely the most romantic book I’ve read over the last several years 😍 I read my fair share of swoony novels, but the quotes in this one have my whole heart 🫶🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I read this as an ARC last summer, I felt like I was actually *living* the story, rather than just reading words on a page 📖 I think I’ve been saying I want to reread it every week since I finished it 😅 Now, it’s officially on my February TBR, since it’s Love Month and that feels like the perfect time to revisit what I consider the ultimate romance book 🥰

#LTKfindsunder50 #LTKhome

If you had to pick candle scents to pair with your current read, what would they be? 🕯️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I initially drafted this caption (last week, before I totally lost track of life and didn’t post for days 😅), I was reading Linger (the second book in The Wolves of Mercy Falls series) and I think the scent notes would be:
🌲 pine trees
🌧️ late winter rain
🌰 toasted almonds
🐺 sexy werewolves (yeah yeah I know that’s not a real scent but we’re gonna roll with it, okay? 😋)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I really love it when authors describe scents in great detail within their narrative 📖 I have always associated scents with memories, moments, and people, so it helps me visualize the world and the story even better 🤎

#LTKfindsunder50 #LTKhome

When you’re feeling blue, what kind of books do you reach for to give you a mood boost? 🦋
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My comfort books are all over the place, but I always know that whenever I’m down, the ones that will bring me the most joy are:
🩷 Heartstopper
🗣️ Talking as Fast as I Can
🦌 Shadow and Bone
🍂 The Nature of Witches
☕️ Legends & Lattes
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Truthfully, it wouldn’t matter what kind of mood I’m in, rereading these books will always make me smile 😊️

#LTKhome #LTKfindsunder50

What are your favorite mystery books? 🔎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a kid, I was a huge fan of mystery series and gobbled them up whenever I found a new one that I loved and that didn’t feel totally predictable 🙈 When I began to search for them as an adult, I felt a little let down because it seemed like everything leaned towards thriller rather than just mystery, and I didn’t love the creepy element at all 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Several years ago, I watched and loved Knives Out, and when I saw someone say that The Inheritance Games was like a YA book version of that movie, I knew I had to read it right away! 🙌🏼 It quickly became one of my favorite series and I’ve seriously enjoyed each and every book that has come out 📚 I can’t wait for The Grandest Game to be in my hands later this year ♣️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you gotten a chance to dive into this mystery series yet? 📖

#LTKhome #LTKfindsunder50

When is your bookstaversary? 🍾 Today I’m celebrating 4 years of The Espresso Edition 📖☕️🤎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How on earth has it been 4 years already? 😅 I feel like it was just the other day that I was chatting with @estherfungreads about this community and making plans to create my own page where I could chat about books all the time 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fast forward to now... I’ve made some of the best friends I’ve ever had, discovered countless new favorite books, found tons of authors to support, and expanded my mind in so many ways 🤯 Bookstagram truly changed my life for the better and I’m so thankful for all of you and the incredible impact you’ve had on me over the last 4 years 🫶🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why did you join bookstagram? 📚

#LTKstyletip #LTKfindsunder100

Do you like reading fictional books about hobbies you enjoy (or have enjoyed) in real life? 🎭
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dungeons & Drama was such a blast of a read for me because it combined my love for theatre with my nerdy side 🙌🏼 While I’m super picky with YA romance now, this book was just so much fun that I know I’ll be reading it again in the future (and I’m so thankful that the publisher sent me a completed copy so I can do just that)! 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are some hobbies you have outside of reading (or hobbies you loved as a kid)? 🎲

#LTKfindsunder50 #LTKhome

Would you take the protagonist of your current read for a cup of coffee? ☕️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I would absolutely take both Seren and Owen from Into the Heartless Wood to get a hot bev 🙌🏼 They’re two of my favorite book characters and I just have this feeling we’d have plenty to discuss, like music and the stars and all our hopes and dreams 🌠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s been so fun spending January rereading tons of my favorite books 📚 I adore revisiting these worlds and learning more about the characters I’ve fallen in love with over the years 🫶🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s the next fantasy book you plan to pick up? 🤎

#LTKhome #LTKfindsunder50 #LTKSeasonal

Are there any books you read in 2023 that completely took you by surprise? 😳
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
THE UNMAKING OF JUNE FARROW blew me away! 💨 I was anticipating enjoying it but definitely not expecting to fall in love with it the way I did 🤎 It combined historical fiction with magical realism and the mystery woven throughout made it impossible to put down once I started it 🙈 It instantly went on my 23 favorites in 2023 list and I truly can’t wait to read it again in the future 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read this enchanting story yet? ✨

#LTKhome #LTKfindsunder50

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
90-100%: spiced mocha
70-89%: Danish butter cookies

30-49%: gingerbread men
0-29%: candy cane tea
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These are just a few of my favorite festive treats to enjoy during the holiday season ☕️ I’m usually not one to crave sweets of any kind, but from Thanksgiving through New Years, you’ll find me stuffing my face with these kinds of drinks and snacks while reading my holiday books or watching the latest cheesy Christmas flick 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I use some version of this question annually and never stop loving it! 😂 It’s just so fun to see what people get most excited about 🙌🏼

Cozy and Christmas-y 🎄

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

Have you already read your most anticipated book of the month or do you prefer to save the best for last? 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Rules of Mistletoe is written by my sweet friend Taylor Epperson and is the cutie pie festive sequel to The Luck of Finding You, which I loved so much last year 🫶🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
[ad] I'm planning to curl up with this book under my new golden bell string lights from HelloDot ✨ These beautiful, warm lights are hung along the top of my bookshelves right now and they bring such a soft and stunning glow to the space 😍 I love that they're battery operated with a remote because I can easily pop them on whenever I want a cozy atmosphere for reading 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can purchase these lights on Amazon and I've made it super easy to shop everything in this post on LTK 😉 Head to my bio or comment GOLDEN and I'll send you a direct link 🔗

What's your most anticipated read of December? 🤎

#LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal #LTKhome

Have you begun to think about what you want to read in 2024? 💭
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've already put together my January TBR 🙈 I kicked off 2023 with only rereads in the first month of the year and it was the best start ever, so I'm doing the same thing this coming January 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm also starting to think about what I want on my Priority 24 TBR in the new year 📚 I'm sure it'll include some upcoming releases as well as a few that are on my backlist... and maybe a couple of rereads as well! 🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm already getting so excited for what I'll get to read and December isn't even over yet 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have any favorite books you might revisit next year? 📖

#LTKhome #LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

Gilmore Girls fans, unite - after a cup of coffee (or five) ☕️ This gift guide is for anyone who has literally said “I smell snow” or “oy with the poodles already” out loud at least once in their life 😉

Are you shopping for any foodies this holiday season? 🍽 Be sure to get them what they really want in their kitchen 🥘 From gadgets to cookware to accessories and more - these will all make excellent gifts for the foodie in your life 🎁

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal

Were there any books you got multiple copies of this year? ✌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In all honesty, I’m not someone who typically purchases multiples of books unless they’re stories that I’ve already read, absolutely adore, and just *need* to show off 🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s a short list right now that includes my several copies of Shadow and Bone, This Vicious Grace, and Into the Heartless Wood ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had already pre-ordered my signed copy of Foxglove when I had the opportunity to attend the book tour, so naturally, I got myself a Barnes & Noble edition to have signed in person! ✍🏼 I don’t regret it in the slightest because LOOK AT HOW GORGEOUS THESE ARE 😍 Plus, I love this series 📚

#LTKhome #LTKfindsunder100

Who loves cute and creative ornaments as much as I do? ✨ These fun, bookish ornaments are all from Etsy and they’re just too gorgeous for words 😍 Such perfect stocking stuffers! 🎄

#LTKHoliday #LTKGiftGuide #LTKSeasonal

Ew, David! 🙄 If you’re a Schitt’s Creek fan (or have a SC fan in your life), look no further than this guide for the best gifts you can find 🎁 Ornaments, games, shirts, and more 🙌🏼 Best wishes, warmest regards 🤍

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

What kind of holiday decor do you gravitate towards? 🎅🏼

I'm a classic red, green, and gold girly through and through! 😍 I love a very traditional Christmas style and even though my home is full of neutral tones, through the holiday season the halls are decked with as much glitter and holly as possible 😂

[#ad] I chose to keep my absolutely gorgeous 7' Tribeca Blue Spruce @kingofchristmas tree really simple this year with just a mix of baubles and I really love how it turned out! ✨ Now to find the perfect topper...

#LTKHoliday #LTKhome #LTKSeasonal

Coffee mugs are always a great gift idea! 🎁 These are super affordable (all only $5) and festive for the holiday season ☕️

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal

Do you use a planner? 🗓️

I'm someone who literally can't live without a physical planner to write down to-do lists, client tasks, birthdays, appointments, and my blog schedule 🙈 The first thing I do every day is look at my planner to see what needs to be accomplished 📋

[#ad] I've used @thedaydesigner for nearly as long as I've been blogging (over 8 years now) and I seriously can't recommend them enough! 🙌🏼 They're the reason I manage to stay so organized while managing multiple businesses ☕️

You can imagine how excited I was when they reached out to work with me and I pretty much started drooling over my gorgeous Charcoal Bookcloth 2024 Weekly Planner and Romance Clipfolio 😍 These are going to be such lifesavers in the new year! 🤎

Visit my LTK Shop to snag this planner with the code ESPRESSOEDITION10, valid until 3/31/2024 🛒

Have you ever had a #DayDesigner planner? ✍🏼

Now that Thanksgiving is over and it's "socially acceptable" (whatever that even means) to get holly jolly and festive as can be (which I've been since the start of November), tell me which books are on your holiday season TBR! 🎅🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I wrote up my Christmas reading list at the beginning of last week and lemme tell ya, I'm apparently attempting to read a book a day in December with how many titles I added 😂 But there are just SO MANY cute and festive holiday romcoms that I need in my life this season 🤎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Usually, I find myself reaching for a couple of rereads, including THE AFTERLIFE OF HOLLY CHASE which I listen to every December without fail because it is my *favorite* Christmas book 📖 And this year I'll be rereading LOVELIGHT FARMS as well since I adored it so much last year 🎄
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have any festive reads that you recommend? 🫶🏼

#LTKfindsunder50 #LTKhome

Recommend your favorite small-town romance 🏡
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I was younger, my mom would say that my sister was her country mouse and I was her city mouse... but now we're BOTH country mice and I'm proud to live near a small town where everyone at the cafe, plant shop, and bakery know my name 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've found myself enjoying small-town romances more than ever before and when I discovered Sarah Adams's books this year, I fell head over heels in love 🤎 I gobbled up both When in Rome and Practice Makes Perfect and I've been itching for more books with these vibes 🌾
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read the When in Rome books yet? 📖

#LTKhome #LTKfindsunder50

What's your favorite book with magical realism in it? 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In case you're unfamiliar with it, magical realism is a genre where the real world has an undercurrent of magic or fantasy ✨ One of the most common ways authors incorporate this element is with time travel of some sort ⏳ I'm an absolute sucker for it! 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lately, I've been gravitating toward a lot of magical realism and a few of my recent favorites have been:
🌾 The Unmaking of June Farrow
🎇 The Second Chance Year
🔮 New Adult
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What was the last book you read with time travel in it? 📚

#LTKhome #LTKfindsunder50

What colors do you have the most in your home? 🏡
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It'll come as no surprise to you that there are a LOT of warm tones and neutrals in my cozy cottage, especially browns like this gorgeous oak dresser from @sauderusa 🤎 You'll also spy plenty of soft and rich greens, deep burgundy, and hints of ivory--basically all the earthy vibes 🌲
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're looking to elevate your space with #SauderStyle, comment DOVER and I'll send you the link to shop this dresser! 🙌🏼

#LTKCyberWeek #LTKhome

Have you read any "booksta favorite" fantasies this year? ⚔️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not only did I enjoy rereads of some special ones like Addie LaRue, The Nature of Witches, The Grishaverse, Strange the Dreamer, Shades of Magic, and The Starless Sea, but I also picked up a few of the hyped books I've seen circling the online bookish world over the last couple of years (and had some hot takes on a few of them but what's new) 📚
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌙 Bring Me Your Midnight (5 stars, favorite book of the year
☕️ Legends & Lattes (5 stars)
🏛️ Babel (5 stars)
🪻 Foxglove (4 stars)
🌊 Curious Tides (4 stars)

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you read any of these this year? 📖

When do you decorate for the holidays? 🎄

As a kid, my family waited until the day after Thanksgiving. As an adult, I thought, “If it’s the most wonderful time of the year, why not make it the longest?” and started decorating the first weekend in November! 🙈

[#ad] This @kingofchristmas Tribeca Blue Spruce was so easy to assemble and add to my small space 🙌🏼 It came with protective “fluffing” gloves (spot my mom even wearing them to help me out), an off-season storage bag, and a remote with 8 light settings to make things merry and bright ✨
