❓What book makes you think of me❓ I’ve seen this post idea floating around lately and I got curious to see what books y’all associate with me/my page. Recently I asked on my stories and the answers made me so happy 🥰 I love having a bright and sunny feed and I strive to read diversely and across genres. What vibe do you think your Bookstagram has or what are you working toward? I’ve been here for over three years and I can honestly say it took me a while to figure out what I wanted mine to look like but I’m so glad I figured out what works for me!

Love Stacks and Happy Galentine’s Day! Here’s about 28 books with the word ‘love’ in the title. I don’t think I got them all and I didn’t even include ones with the word ‘lover’, ‘loved’ or ‘loves’! Also, I’ve tagged some of my fave bookstagram gals in my post! Thank you for all your support and friendship over the years! Definitely check them out if you’re not following them! And because I hate leaving people out, please know that it’s not an exhaustive list and I am thankful and appreciative of everyone here. ❤️ Happy Friday! Are you superstitious? I am a little bit and definitely feel some weird vibes on Friday the 13th! Book Recommendations | Romance Books | Love Stories | Book Stacks | Book Love

🍂☕️📚 Spell the Season 📚☕️🍂 And happy FALL Y’ALL! Yeah, I’ve never once said that irl. 😆 Thanks to my fun friend Molly @aneye4romance for the tag reminding me to stack the season—FALL! I challenge YOU! QOTD: Is it feeling or looking fallish where you live? Or, what season is it in your current read? AOTD: Yes, it’s been frosty at night, cold in the mornings, and sunny & gorgeous by lunch recess duty! 🙌🏻 And the leaves are changing colors, making it so gorgeous here in eastern Iowa. As for my book, I don’t think it has a season, just a small witchy town. 🏷️ #spelltheseason #spelltheseasoninbooks #spelltheseasonstack #bookstack #saturdaystack #saturdaybookstack #bookstacklove #bookstackfun #bookish #romancebooks #romancestagrammer #romancestagram #bookstackchallenge
