2026 Twin Cities 10 Mile This was my first race over a 10K that I've completed in 3 years and WOW I could not have asked for a better experience 🤗❤️👟 The weather was perfect (cool, sunny and no breeze), the crowd support was incredible, vibes were high and my body was cooperating 🥳 I even got to spend some time with Kelly from @ssil.thatread & it made my morning to see her beaming smiling and positive energy so early. I won't sugar coat it, the road to get to this race has been rough. From job change to a new foster pup to an unexpected dental procedure and a Crohn's disease flare. . . at times I've felt like I would barely be able to cross that finish line on race day. But our bodies are incredible and I've had an amazing training buddy (@alisonjo1202) to cheer me on & lift me up ❤️ I can't wait to run our first half together 🤗 Thank you to so many of you who sent words of encouragement today and over the last few weeks!

July & August Wrap Up 📚 Summer has come and gone but oh was it full of so many special memories & books that made me so happy to read ❤️ From book clubs & novel-tea parties to coffee & ice cream dates with friends and a bucket list trip with my dad & bestie, I'm so thankful for the books that kept me company during the last few months. With the help of @netgalley, @prhaudio and @macmillan.audio and the library I saved $463 total in July & August on books 🥳🎉 Which is definitely something to celebrate! My favorite book in July was "Just for the Plot" by @meghanquinnbooks, which was the perfect light & fun romance to accompany the craziness of interviewing & accepting a new job 🎉 My favorite book in August was so hard to narrow down because it was an amazing month of ARCs but I had to select "Breathing Under Water" by @jackiefriedland. A powerful and moving story that I'm still thinking about almost a month later. . . QOTD: What was your favorite book you read in August? Or what book are you most excited about to read this fall?

Book appreciation for Married with Benefits by my friend @elliepalmerwrites! This was such a fun read and an easy 5 stars from me. I finished the audiobook last week and I was laughing so much! I loved the banter between Lainey and Elliot. The audiobook narration was perfection! Ellie is meant to be a romance writer, and thank goodness she has more books coming for us readers in 2027! We love any reason to celebrate Ellie Palmer and it was a hilarious conversation with her friends @danica_nava and @kate_robb_writes. Thank you, @tropesandtrifles, for hosting another fantastic event last week! Thank you, Ellie for allowing me to create an Elliot Book Boyfriend Bookmark to add to your character collection!

Christina Lauren Book Event for The Romance Revival! The past six days have been filled with book events so I am catching up on my posts! I always laugh so hard when @christinalauren and @susanleewrites are together. The Twin Cities were the last stop of their RV road trip for this portion of their book event. Thank you, @tropesandtrifles, for hosting this beautiful event at @quincyhallmpls! My full review will be coming soon but I finished this book last week. The Romance Revival is a 6-star read for me! I highly recommend the audiobook!

💚 Married with Benefits by @elliepalmerwrites 💚 If you’re looking for a rom-com that will have you laughing one minute and feeling all the emotions the next, this is the one. What to expect: 🚗 Check engine lights 👓 MMC in glasses 🌽 Classic Midwestern traditions 😂 So much humor mixed with the perfect amount of heart What you won’t find: 🌲 A-frame cabins 📋 A Type A FMC When Lainey accidentally becomes the owner of a dream home but can’t keep it without the help of architect Elliot, the two strike a marriage-of-convenience deal that seems like the perfect solution. Living together while renovating the property? Easy. Falling for each other? Definitely not part of the plan. This book truly has it all! From the charming Midwest touches (so many of them!) to the humor, thoughtful chronic illness representation, and Ellie’s signature writing style, every page was a delight. Warm, heartfelt, and full of charm, this is the perfect book for your summer reading list. If you love marriage of convenience, laugh-out-loud banter, lovable characters, and romances with plenty of heart, be sure to add Married with Benefits to your TBR! 🐢 *Special shoutout to @tropesandtrifles for another amazing event!! So lucky to have been able to attend with @stephsbooktherapy !

My full review is coming tomorrow but spoiler, it’s a good one! So full of humor, chronic illness rep, and Midwest shenanigans. 🐢 Thank you @tropesandtrifles for hosting and to Ellie’s amazing conversation partners, @kate_robb_writes & @danica_nava !!

Still smiling after such a fun night! 📚✨ I had the chance to attend an author event for @christinalauren and moderated by @susanleewrites. It was an incredible evening getting to hear about their writing process and all the behind-the-scenes moments that readers don't usually get to see. Christina, Lauren, and Susan were absolutely hilarious. I don't think we stopped laughing the entire event! One of the best parts of the night, though, was getting to experience it with such amazing friends. I'm so grateful that this book community has brought such incredible women into my life. It's amazing how a shared love of books can turn into genuine friendships, and I don't take that for granted. Author events like this always leave me with an even greater appreciation for the people behind the books I love and for the community that reading has given me. Huge thank you to @tropesandtrifles for hosting another fantastic event. I already can't wait for the next one! ✨📖

It's been way too long since I've been to a book event! It felt so good to be surrounded by the best bookish people last night. @elliepalmerwrites crushed it as the MC and asked @annabelmonaghan the best questions. They were both hilarious! Watch for my review of Dolly All the Time. Spoiler Alert, it's 5 shining stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 And the queen @justjuliawhelan narrates!! I had such a great time having dinner with @gadgetgirlbooks, @thebookedlifeofkatie, and @thebookandtheboston! So great to meet Katie and Paige in person! And I always love catching up with @lynnthelibrarian and @ssil.thatread 🥰 Thank you @tropesandtrifles for bringing us all together at these amazing events! ❤️

February & March Wrap Up The days & weeks have been flying by in 2026 filled with quality time with family & friends, date nights & bookish events such as book launches (@katequinn5975 & Abby Jimenez) and @sportsromancecon 🤗 So many fun memories made but also slowing down when I can to spend time with Millie & the furry friends who have visited (Chester, Koda & Ruby) ❤️ In February & March I read 29 books total, most of which were advance reader copies because someone needs to take my netgalley request feature away 😂🙈 I've saved $281 utilizing netgalley, the library and borrowing books from friends, which is awesome! My favorite books were: - February: "The Girls Before" by @kmarshallarts a gripping suspense novel that left my head spinning and my trust in people completely whipped clean! - March: "No Matter What" by @carabastone, an emotional & raw love story about second chances, grief and finding yourself despite what life throws at you. This author is one of my favorites and I absolutely could not put this new novel down ❤️ . . QOTD: What was your favorite book or bookish event you've had the opportunity to enjoy so far in 2026?
