POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I was tagged by my lovely friends @the_lunar_shelf & @mountain_reader to do a pumpkin stack, but I don’t have that many orange books, so I made an autumn stack with a little pumpkin 🤭🎃🍂

I was wondering, do you have a favorite cozy autumn romance? 🍁 It’s always so hit or miss for me with autumn romances, and I don’t think I actually have a favorite yet!

Tagging some of my friends to do either a pumpkin stack or an autumn stack in general 🧡📚🍂

Sprayed Edges Saturday 🖤✨

I’m OBSESSED with all these colors together 😍 Honestly, sprayed edges might be one of my biggest bookish weaknesses at this point 🤭🔥

Do you recognize any of these? And which one is your favorite? ✨

Tagging some of my friends, show me your favorite sprayed edges! 📚

is thankful. ❤️

I don’t typically receive books from anyone I know in real life. 99% of the books I own, I’ve literally purchased for myself—but amazingly there have been a few gifted to me from some wonderful people I’ve connected with through Bookstagram! I wanted to make a static post for all the amazing books I’ve been lucky enough to receive this year because of y’all 🥹🫶🏼

🌲🏡 A neighbors-to-lovers trope arc of Across the Vanishing Sky from THE iconic @catherinecowlesauthor !! ((bawled my eyes out over this one ngl 🤧))

🩵👻 A *signed* copy of Good Spirits from @bookish_platypus’s 30th bday giveaway ((who also gifted me hand crocheted goodies amongst other things, like r u kidding me 🥹))

💛🤠 The *entire* Black Springs Ranch series from the one & only @booked_emina ((my first ever @probablysmut special editions & i. am. obsessed))

💙🏒 A @thelovestorysociety edition of The Wild Card from the lovely @beccasbeenreading ((I really love the muted blues of this cover))

🩷🎡 Let’s Kiss and Tell, one of my most anticipated reads, gifted to me by thee most patient soul. @meshellreads literally reordered a second copy for me after the first copy got lost in the mail. I cannot wait to read this one!!

🤎🗡️ A @thelovestorysociety edition of Half City ((I have been DYING to read this series and love TLSS’s rendition of the cover))

💜🦋 A *signed* deluxe edition of Light Wielder from @literallytabz, who also threw in *so* many extra bookish goodies ((ugh I cried at her thoughtfulness))

🏰🥀 Not pictured yet is my @theworksstores edition of Daybreak from @bookedbyyou365. Sorrowsong University is my favorite duology of all time and it’s been soul crushing to know it’s near impossible to get them from the US without paying extremely high reseller fees ((i definitely cried again for this one))

Can you tell this girl is a crier? Usually during my luteal phase LOL 🫠 I have been slow to post these since I’m still deep in the throes of moving/selling/renovating, but I regularly look at my books and instantly remember where I got them from. Thank you to everyone for showing this lil book account so much love this year. 🤧🫶🏼

🫐FRIDAY BLUE FLATLAY🫐

Hiya I’ve finally made it! A proper Flatlay on a Friday!

Thanks again to the ever-amazing @tess_reads_books for the tag 💙

Lucky me, blue is probably the colour I have the most on my shelves! (If we don’t count the black ones…. 😅)
and it happens to be my favourite colour ever!! Coincidence,… I don’t think so. 😆

Also - Are you all ready for your TOG REREAD just to get to the spider-part?? 😅

Tagged a few book lovers here but no pressure as always 🦋

✨ Challenge 🌅 Stack ✨

❓ Are you a morning person, to rise with the sun, or a night owl, to welcome the moon?

🧡 Thanks to the lovely @thiscatladyisareader who tagged me in this sunset challenge. This was a lot harder to replicate than I thought. I remember chasing sunsets in Hawaii on my honey moon and there were so many gorgeous hues of purple. So they had to be added in my stack 💕

💜 I used to be a night owl, but it’s impressive how that changes with kids. Now, I’m an early bird who enjoys her cup of coffee while everyone sleeps. If I happen to wake up late, it already feels like my day is thrown off 🫣

🫶🏼I tagged a few bookish friends to attempt a sunset challenge of their own. Please don’t feel any pressure, this is all for fun. 🖤

Hope everyone has a lovely Tuesday!

✨ Challenge 💚 Stack ✨

💬 could you figure out my eye color with this stack?

The lovelies @thiscatladyisareader tagged me in an eye color stack and @books__and_babble tagged me in a green (vine) stack challenge and I was kind of able to combine them both. Hope I did it justice 💚🤎 Thank you for the tag.

I have hazel green eyes with some brown mixed in them.

🫶🏼I tagged a few bookish lovelies to attempt one of these challenges. If I didn’t tag you and you’d like to create one of your own, please tag me. I’d love to see it 🖤 No pressure, just all for sweet fun.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

📖 ‎.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓜𝓲𝓭 𝔂𝓮𝓪𝓻 𝓬𝓱𝓮𝓬𝓴 𝓲𝓷 ✧˖°. 📚

My dear and lovely friend, and the best book reviewer EVER, @vitterbok asked me what my top 5 books are for this year so far…

Like Malin, I have to say in my stack, Insatiable represents the entire Edge of Darkness Trilogy by @authorleighrivers. Every page and every part of this trilogy has touched my soul. I honestly don’t have any other way to describe or explain the emotions this series gave me. It was an experience. 🤍

Daggermouth by @hm.wolfe was absolutely exhilarating, and those last few pages completely ripped my heart out and stomped on it. It was just THAT good. You’ll have to read it to understand exactly what I’m trying to say! 😭

Half City by @kategoldenauthor transported me into another world! The story was so immersive, and the tropes, banter, and found family were everything. I love, love, loved this one! ✨

Rites of the Starling by @devneyperry was amazing beyond measure! Getting another POV and seeing how the FMC’s story falls into place left me stunned and had me thinking about these characters for MONTHS. (Honestly, all of these books and characters are living rent free in my head). 🫠

Ahhh, and lastly… Broken Dove by @authordanifrancis. I did have to reread this one a few times to really get myself out of my slump, and it almost didn’t work. 😂 I’m not sure what kind of magic the author puts into her words and onto these pages, but consider me addicted. I need a freakin’ IV drip of this story because I’m not ready for it to end, and I NEED more to keep me going. 🖤

2026 has been going strong in the book department. Last year I surpassed my reading goal and finished 165 books, so this year I decided to raise the bar and see if I could hit 200… and holy crap, I’m almost there!

I’m currently at 119/200 with 14 books ahead of schedule. 🎉

Yes, this may be a concerning problem… but I don’t care. 😂📚

I also tagged some bookish besties to join in, if they want! Of course, no pressure! 😘
