It's a #twoforTuesday for #TropeTuesday again this week! "Occupations" is the theme of the week.

Books mentioned:
THE MARRIAGE METHOD (hist.) by Mimi Matthews
TRUE RUIN (cont.) by Tracy Sumner
LADY EVE'S INDISCRETION (hist.) by Grace Burrowes
THE PRINCE'S BRIDE (hist.) by Charis Michaels
WHEN A SCOT TIES THE KNOT (hist.) by Tessa Dare
OTTERS AND OBSTACLES (hist.) by Alexa Santi
ON THE WAY TO THE WEDDING (hist.) by Julia Quinn
THE SUBTLE CRAFT OF COURTING KATE (hist.) by Aydra Richards

P.S. The last two's stories are focused on their journeys with their respective love interests. Incidentally, they are both the youngest sons in their families. Their occupations are what they settled into when they married and started a family.

P.P.S. I'm forever a #Kathony stan, but the older I get, the more I've started to have an appreciation and fascination for Gregory Bridgerton. He might be dark horse for favorite Bridgerton.

📚 Summer Reading 📚

📚 My immediate TBR summer reading starts now! I’ve been in a (book) funk lately, so I really want to prioritize my reading a bit more this summer. Good vibes & all of that. 📚

Independent Bookstore Day Crawl stop #6: Old Town Books, Alexandria, VA.

A gorgeous, filled-to-the-brim, cozy, independent bookshop with lots of great staff recs, stacked (succeeding) rooms to explore, and a super fun stationery section, Old Town Books has to be one of my absolute favorite bookstores! They even have a dedicated Romantasy section (slide 17); also, check out those incredible bookish sticker books (slide 16).

I had to make my way there on independent bookstore day because they had an author signing with @alexandravasti & @charismichaels (slide 3), who were so lovely to meet. I ended up getting 4 books signed 👀🤗 I was also gifted the super cute Shop Indie, Shop Local bag (slide 20). Credit for those 2 photos to @oldtownbooks since despite taking over 20 other photos (& having to edit down for this post), I forgot to get those.

Swipe through to explore the store with me & get some great book recs >>

Slide 4: featured staff recs
Slide 6: blind date with a book section (was 20% off)
Slide 7: met the gorg Hank, a very good boy

Slide 9: Fantasy for Beginners recs from Old Town staff
- The Scarlet Alchemist by @kylieleebaker
- The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by @sangumandanna (I second this!)
- Tress of the Emerald Sea by @brandsanderson
- Certain Dark Things by @silviamg.author
- Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea by @rebeccathornewrites
- Practical Magic by @ahoffmanwriter
- Magic Bites by @ilona_andrews
- Uprooted by @naominovik
- The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina by @zoraidasolo
- Kings of the Wyld by @thebookofeames

See comments for staff recommendations from slides 8, 11, 12, & 13. I highly recommend spending some time there checking out the many unique recs if you live near or are visiting the DMV.

To say I had one of the best weekends ever, would be an understatement! It was my first time at Spill the Tea and I felt so very welcomed. The event itself was beautiful and the @hearomanceteam_events did a great job! It truly proved to me again how amazing the historical romance community is 💖

Not only did I get to meet so many friends I interact with online IRL, I also got to meet authors who’s books have held a special place on my shelves (@gracecallawaybooks thank you for being so sweet as I went a little crazy for you 🤗).

I’ll be posting a Part 2 with more pics from the weekend (though I’m notoriously bad at taking photos in the moment). But wanted to share a few from the breakfast and (some) of the goodies I acquired 🥰

❓Have you ever been to a bookish event? Would you go to one if you haven’t?

Spill the Tea Weekend - Event Day! Authors & Friends👯‍♀️

I don’t get out much anymore but I make it a point to go to Spill the Tea bc there’s nothing more refreshing than congregating with a room full of historical romance fans and authors. It was absolutely a blast!

When I saw that @authorsabrinajeffries and @gracecallawaybooks were attending my mind blew! I feel like I’m constantly telling others just how much I love their books but I don’t see their tiles shared very often 😭

It feels too soon to end but also I get to look forward to next time♥️

(Gonna do my best to tag everyone)

Spill the Tea 2026

This was another bucket filling weekend full of joy, laughter, hugs, conversation, rest, and reclaiming Kathryn as a person separate from her job and her family.

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again, the books are the vehicle, this community is the true gift. I have met the most kind, generous, thoughtful, funny, inspiring, loving, group of women through Bookstagram. This event feels like a joyous celebration of this beautiful community.

Thankful for the authors and our amazingly organized leaders who make it happen every year! ❤️
