It’s that time again! Nails and Book Recs! @byselinanguyen killed this set as always. I wanted vampire/gothic vibes and she slayed.

QOTD: Have you read any of these books?

✨ Meet me in 5s ✨

Okay so I’m very behind on this trend, but this was fun. It was also hard to narrow it down to just 5 favorites! Do you have these in your top 5?

‘𝑰𝒏 𝒂 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒔 𝒘𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒓, 𝑰 𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒚𝒆𝒍𝒍.’

Louder not quieter🗣️ when a woman takes up space I love it and when that woman is a little weird, crazy, gloomy, and maybe even a bit unhinged- just like my books- I go FERAL😜

A woman who breaks the social norms and choose to be 100% authentically herself even if that might be a bit off putting, well you’ll see me there supporting her every single time.

💬 what book character makes you go a little 😛?
