POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬𝐭𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐲 𝐢𝐭 🧸🎀💌📚

I’ve seen a few beautiful accounts do this trend and I just had to join in! Booksta and BookTok are my main sources for book recommendations and definitely have a huge influence on my TBR, so I thought this would be fun to do 💫

I’ve found so many favourites (and a few not so favourites 😅) from all the recommendations I’ve seen over the years on Booksta and BookTok. I love it though!!

I’ve tagged a few besties to participate, but if you see this, consider it your sign to join in!! 🩷

💭 what is one book that booksta made you buy?

we’ll always have summer 🐢🌞🪿🌴🥥 + #whatthisweek

hi lovelies!!! hope everyone is having a wonderful week! i want to be in complete fall mode but it’s still 100° out in texas so i must wait to employ peak coziness 😫. excited to share my week!!

what am i…

📖: a gathering of shadows by @veschwab <3 savoring this one for sure, but i’m also reading slow as a turtle because i’ve been doing so many other things!!

📺: i have finally been convinced… to catch up on tsisp. i have been stuck on s1 since 2023 but decided to finally pick it back up and dare i say i think my boyfriend is almost as committed as i am? hoping to catch up by next ep!! ive already read the books so not much has been spoiled for me but these episodes are so new now!!

doing: my friends and i are trying to do a mile every day in september RUNNING, so i have been on my running journey again. i feel like i lost all of my stamina when i stopped running previously but i am excited to continue to make progress!!

looking forward to: booking flights + planning activities for my trip home to boston, as well as finishing my current read!! in my book, things are really starting to pick up so i’m super excited to get cozy tonight and read <3. also, planning a little fall get together with friends! i love hosting so the thought of planning little fall-ish things to do together makes me so giddy. :’-)

as always i have tagged some friends but pleaseeeee do this tag even if i didn’t tag you!! i would love to see your weeks.
