Something about the ache of a fleeting summer… and how consuming that ache is when it’s intertwined with the yearning & heartbreak from young love you thought you left behind.. 🥺

🌊 july reads ✈️

A slower month because i had TONS of travel! But seriously some of the best memories (and reads!)

- Illegal Formation - @kandisteiner
One of my most anticipated reads of 2026! I was so lucky to get this Advanced read not only for 👀 but 🎧 too! The audio is INCREDIBLE! Braden & Emily’s story is so beautiful & I’m in still in denial that the RZR series is over. What a banger way to end though!
- Pucking Revenge & A Major Puck Up - @authorbrittaneenicole
Im livingggggg for Brit’s Boston Bolts universe! These men & their badass women are SO FUN! My fave so far has been Gavin & Millie. When I tell you EVERY SINGLE TROPE I LOVE got roped into this one… I was kicking my feet the entire time!!! I can’t wait to make it thru the rest of this series!
- The Love Hypothesis - @alihazelwood
I finallyyyyyyyy entered the world of AH! And I ate this one up. I’m soooo excited to see it adapted next month! Such a cute romcom.
- Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
I read this with my work book club. Ngl most of the science talk went in one ear and out the other so I feel like maybe 40% of this book stuck in my brain, but the story was so good & I adored the dynamics between rocky & Dr. Grace! I feel like the audio helped because of the delivery, but feel like this one will better keep my attention in movie format.

A Meet (& Greet) Cute 2026 📚🩵😍💛🫶🏻

First and foremost THANK YOU @bookbestiesandco for putting on such an intimate & special event. No one knows the time you guys put in behind the scenes to make this event go off without a hitch. Somehow this year got even BETTER!

To my book besties @sheetsundiluted @cathymac.reads @thedocoaching y’all are literally my soul fam. Experiencing this together is so special & I love these memories we make!

To all my fellow bookish babes, thank you for the trades, the hugs, the smiles, the connections & the laughs.. to say the entire crowd of attendees are your people? That’s rare. But it’s real! It’s so special each year getting to meet more to call friends ☺️

To the authors & vendors & assistants.. THANK YOU ALL for making us readers feel so valued & seen. There’s something to be said about hitting it off with the people behind your favorite fictional family. It’s one of the most intimate connections & I get butterflies just knowing how special each of you is & how y’all are fangirls just like us, yet you give US the things to fangirl about!

This event fills my cup. I feel empowered, seen, loved & refreshed by the amazing people who make it what it is.

TIL next time 💛🩵🫶🏻

Rich because this is the third release week I’ve gotten to spend with @kandisteiner 🥹🤌🏻🧡

Last year I bought a ticket to AMAGC specifically knowing it would be the perfect time for our little group to meet her! Little did I know this event would ending up taking up so much room in my heart & become a yearly tradition.

Each time I’ve gotten to chat with Kandi, I’m reminded exactly why I love her books so much. With every single interaction, in person or online, she exudes genuine connection. It bleeds through to her writing & I’m convinced it’s why I feel like I KNOW each character far beyond the pages. Beyond that, she consistently reminds us how valued we are as readers. It’s refreshing & it’s so incredibly special.

This year I also got the bonus pleasure of meeting the absolute ray of sunshine @hannahchiclana! The friendship we’ve developed for the past few years after discovering her audiobooks has been so special. And getting to squeeeeeze her in person and laugh together?? SO GOOD FOR MY SOUL. It’s a gift being able to actually meet the angel that has brought so many of my favorite fictional besties to life! I’ve cried, laughed, screamed & swoooooned along with her so many times!

I could go on and on and fangirl over these two gems, but I’ll let the pictures say what my heart feels! It’s a blessing getting to call both of you friends!!
