Book Bestie Recs - Color Edition 🌈

We kept seeing this done with other book besities so we had to do it too! We all tried not to pick the same ones since we have very similar tastes in books!

This was verey fun to do and see all the different books we all chose! If you haven't read these, we recommend that you do or add to your TBR

What other challenge should we try next?

✨️ Day in the Life - Bestie Edition ✨️

Come along to see how each of us spend a normal day! Every hour we sent a picture of our day to see how different our lives were! Since we all live in different states, it was fun to see how all of our days would go.

This was a fun challenge to participate in as we saw so many other besties doing it. We definitely feel a bit closer as friends after this and we hope one day we can meet in person!

Sharing the LOVE for some of my favorite accounts!

I've been seening so many posts like this so I decided to hop on the train. I wanted to highlight some accounts that deserve so much love and support no matter what size account they have!!

These women are amazing, kind, supportive, and have the best taste in books! They have helped me through so many book crashouts as I did for them! They are some of my biggest cheerleaders and they made my book world better!

Thank you to all of you for being so wonderful! 💙

2026 has brought some amazing reads, and it's not done yet! Here are some ARCs that we cannot wait for.

When they come in, it'll be *the perfect day*
Ha! See what I did there? 😂😘

A couple we all have, then we each added another!

Tell me, what others are you excited for??

Bookish Challenge!!

I was inspired by @elissasepilogues when she posted hers! So me and the besties decided to take on the challenge!

This was fun and a little difficult to pick or narrow it down to one! But I will say that we all have pretty similar vibes when it comes to books!

Grab a friend and see how similiar or different your vibes are!

Tag your it!

🖤 Villains & Vixens 2026: Day 2 🖤

I couldn't get enough of the fun! After checking off my list for signings, I was able to wondering around and really take in more of the convention! I was able to take more pictures with my book besties who couldn't come, but were with me anyway!

With the lines not being as busy, I was able to really spend some time with Melissa K Roehrich and Miranda Lyn! This bestie duo are my top favorite authors and meeting/talking with them is a highlight to my year! It will be hard to top it! Thank you so much for being amazing and giving great hugs!!

Also, last photo was meant to be in for Day 1, so I included it here! Had to showcase the amazing friends I hung out with every night! Thanks for so many laughs and memories!!
