Over the weekend I had the BEST time traveling Glendale, Arizona with some bookstagram friends to see Taylor Swift!

I am forever grateful that bookstagram has brought so many friends into my life that I otherwise would never had a chance to meet. And that we share other interests such as TAYLOR SWIFT!

The last time I saw Taylor in concert was back during the Red tour so this truly has been a long time coming. I’ve been a fan of hers since the beginning and was not prepared for the wave of emotions and nostalgia that hit while she performed songs from Fearless. 😭😭😭

And of course I wasn’t going to leave Arizona without stopping at a used bookstore! We only had 15 minutes to explore Half Price Books, but I did not waste even a second of it. Swipe to the end to see @alibraryforone’s photo of me in the wild as I searched for Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books to add to my collection.

What’s your favorite Taylor Swift song? Who’s an artist/band you’d love to see live?

Wishing a happy book birthday to INFAMOUS! Bridgeton meets Booksmart in this queer regency romance—doesn’t it sound so good?!

Thank you @smpromance for sending me a copy!

📝 About INFAMOUS 📝

Twenty-two-year-old aspiring writer Edith (“Eddie”) Miller and her best friend Rose have always done everything together—from climbing trees and sneaking bottles of wine, to extensive kissing practice. But Rose has started talking about marriage, and Eddie is horrified. Why can’t they continue as they always have?

Then Eddie meets charming, renowned poet Nash Nicholson—a rival of Lord Byron, if he does say so himself—and he welcomes her into his world of eccentric artists and boundary-breaking visionaries. When Eddie receives an invitation to Nash's crumbling Gothic estate in the countryside, promising inspiration (and time to finish her novel, a long-held dream), she eagerly agrees. But the pure hedonism and debauchery that ensues isn’t exactly what she had in mind, and Eddie soon finds herself torn between her complicated feelings for Rose and her equally complicated dynamic with Nash, whose increasingly bad behavior doesn’t match up to her vision for her literary hero.

Will Eddie be forced to choose between her friendship with Rose and her literary dreams––or will she be able to write her own happily ever after?

What are you up to this weekend? Happy Saturday!

Happy Saturday! I’m sharing this photo for no other reason than the fact that I got this adorable cookie the other day and immediately had to take a photo of it with the TO ALL THE BOYS books because it was so perfect for the series.

Anyone else excited for @xokittynetflix? I’m so excited to see @jennyhan’s world grow as Kitty takes center stage in the upcoming Netflix spin-off series!

Happy SHADOW AND BONE day! I am so so SO excited that season 2 is finally here!

I had the most incredible time at the premiere last week—thank you @shadowandbone, @netflix, @netflixgeeked, and @1iota for the wonderful night.

I’ve been a fan of the Grisha series since I was in high school and loved the first season of the show. So it was amazing being able to meet @lbardugo and the entire cast as they walked the black carpet and then see an advance screening of the first episode.

Swipe to see some photos from the event!

Wishing a happy book birthday today to THE RENAISSANCE OF GWEN HATHAWAY! Ashely Schumacher’s books have been on my radar for ages, so I’m excited that @wednesdaybooks sent me this copy (thank you!!) and looking forward to diving into it!

🪕 About THE RENAISSANCE OF GWEN HATHAWAY 🪕

Dumplin' meets Well Met in this novel about finding your place in the world, learning love is a risk worth taking, and discovering what happens when you take your fate into your own hands.

Since her mother’s death, Madeline “Gwen” Hathaway has been determined that nothing in her life will change ever again. That’s why she keeps extensive lists in journals, has had only one friend since childhood, and looks forward to the monotony of working the ren faire circuit with her father. Until she arrives at her mother’s favorite end-of-tour stop to find the faire is under new management and completely changed.

Meeting Arthur, the son of the new owners and an actual lute-playing bard, messes up Maddie’s plans even more. For some reason, he wants to be her friend—and ropes her into becoming Princess of the Faire. Now Maddie is overseeing a faire dramatically changed from what her mother loved and going on road trips vastly different from the routine she used to rely on. Worst of all, she’s kind of having fun.

Ashley Schumacher's The Renaissance of Gwen Hathaway is filled with a wise old magician who sells potion bottles, gallant knights who are afraid of horses and ride camels instead, kings with a fondness for theatrics, a lazy river castle moat with inflatable crocodile floaties, and a plus-sized heroine with a wide open heart . . . if only she just admits it.

📖 About I WILL FIND YOU AGAIN 📖

All the Bright Places meets Ace of Spades in this twisty teen thriller about finding a way to live after losing the one person who feels like home.

Welcome to Meadowlark, Long Island—expensive homes and good schools, ambition and loneliness. Meet Chase Ohara and Lia Vestiano: the driven overachiever and the impulsive wanderer, the future CEO and the free spirit. Best friends for years—weekend trips to Montauk, sleepovers on a yacht—and then, first love. True love.

But when Lia disappears, Chase's life turns into a series of grim snapshots. Anger. Grief. Running. Pink pills in an Altoids tin. A cheating ring at school. Heartbreak and lies. A catastrophic secret.

And the shocking truth that will change everything about the way Chase sees Lia—and herself.
