turns four! 🥹

Four years ago, I started this account to connect with others who enjoy the same as me, and it has grown amounts that I’m eternally grateful, and I’m glad I took the plunge when I did 🫶🏻

I always cherish the friendships I’ve made over these years, purely for the love of books and so much more, so many genuine, kind friendships that I know will last a lifetime 🥹

And to the authors I’ve been able to discover, love and being able to connect with them personally is another thing before I started didn’t think would be possible! So to all of you, I love and appreciate you all so much! 😍

Here are some of my fav moments from year three 🫶🏻

I am so grateful to everyone who made my 30th birthday so incredible 🥹

I honestly have no words to describe how loved and supported I feel. From the birthday wishes, to spending time with the people I love, to the absolutely insane presents. I’m completely overwhelmed in the best way. Thank you all so much 🤍

I had to post this ridiculous stack of books I received and thank those who spoilt me

@talkbookswitht @miss_dem @kats_book.nook @fullybookedaus @reads_with_dani @kpskindle @bookishdreams312 @mandajane1985 @sarah.reads.spice @its_madzbooks @steph.readz.cosycolour @whats_tyrareading @booksbykayxx @booknerd_ali

Not pictured yet - but I also received a beautifully hand made kindle case and pamper pack from @chapteredwithdh 🩷

And I’d also like to thank my book babes for my other gifts that I couldn’t take a photo of @bookboundkay @readby.tia @fictionaddicts @ashys_books @booknookeire @lili.marsh_ @amandalouisereads @krystal.who.reads.books @sharnigibbins @natalierb__ @mik.reads19 @lovebugreading @ando.reads

I know we are already into April but I asked the girls from the Book Babes discord what they loved reading in March and this is what they said.

I only read one this month so I didn’t include myself haha.
Please go support these beautiful ladies 🥰💕

This or That: 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙗𝙖𝙗𝙚𝙨 𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 ✨🩷

This was such a fun idea to do with some of the girls in our discord and also we had a good laugh about some of our responses… like how some girls prefer a why choose then picking one answer 🤣😅

What would you prefer? 🫶🏼

Also!!! Make sure to join the discord through the link in @hevsies.reads bio if you love everything books and chaos 😈💜
