/care to share some advice for bookstagramming? I /care to share some advice for bookstagramming?

I meant to get this post out a while ago, but here we go. In my stories I asked for some advice about bookstagramming, I had a ton of great feedback and shared some in my posts (keep swiping to see what fellow bookish friends had to say). 

I got some feedback about getting ARCs, which definitely needs to be highlighted, but might save that for another post. 

And here’s a few from good ole me:

- bookstagramming should not be stressful, if it ever gets to that point, breathe and take a break
- don’t be afraid to slide into a fellow bookish friend’s DMs and ask (kindly) for help/opinion/etc. 
- don’t worry about what everyone else is doing and reading. I know it’s easy to get caught up in it all, but it’s okay to step back and focus on you. 
- be kind and have fun!

Thank you to all the lovely people for letting me share some of your advice! 💕

/fancy mafia romance? Well, if you've seen my sto /fancy mafia romance?

Well, if you've seen my stories, I've been chit chattering about this series! And I'm recommending it hard to all the mafia romance lovers out there.

The characters are absolutely amazing and paired up so well. Like it's an obsession at this point. And I want to point out the best variety in steamy scenes, we definitely need more of this because it's so good!

@katjacksonbooks I'm a forever fan! Thank you for @hellolovelybox for putting this lovely edition in your trope box 💗

The Family series:
- Book 1 Beautiful & Dirty (novella of Shae and Sal's "one-night", not really a ONS-ish, tryst)

- Book 2 The Hitman (Zahra and Giulio's story. A supposed to be honeymoon for one and a holiday for the other, neighboring rooms with tears and yelling between walls...yeah,go read this one. And there's an epic train ride 😏)

- Book 3 The Enforcer (Zoe and Alfonso's story and these two are a riot. They crack me up so much! Plenty to love about these two.)

- Book 4 Dolci (Novella from Zahra and Giulio's POV)

- Book 5 The Don (Shae and Sal's full length story. I'm currently reading this one, but I'm expecting some emotions with this one 😭)

Okay, now go grab them all cause you're all sleeping in this series! Kay, thanks 💗

/ever change a book rating days after you finished /ever change a book rating days after you finished it?

Ah yes, that’s me. I mean … Gareth, everyone. Pretty much every upcoming hero that Juliette has written from this series, I fell madly in love with. They quickly become my number one and that’s simply how it is. 

“Lavinia. It wasn’t just her body that I desired. I wanted her mind, her heart, and her soul as well. “

There are sooooooo many treats that Juliette gives us and ugh, just love. 

If you’re missing the other characters, don’t worry, you’ll get some solid time with them. And more teasers of what’s to come. 

I’m still typing up my review and it’ll be on the blog later today. 

Absolutely love this series wholeheartedly and I’m eager for the next leading couples. 

Congrats on the ever so lovely, Always Practice Safe Hex, friend! I’m so excited for you ❤️

Everyone, this was tough for me to do. I don't do these graphics type of posts, definitely not my thing. But I tried and kinda gave up keeping it together a few slides in.

Even though social media is the absolute pits, still love this book community and the many I've met along the way.

Hello, hello. It has been a while and I guess I'l Hello, hello.

It has been a while and I guess I'll mosey on back to bookstagram. I mean I wasn't completely gone as some of you saw 😅 opinions were shared!

Last week, I flew out to visit family with my littles and it's been 2 years since we've all been together. I finally got to meet my niece and nephew and they got to meet my little one that was born last year. We have no idea when we'll all be in one place again, but it was such an amazing and much needed trip.

AND, we managed to get some fam pics done and I took advantage to frolic in the woods. 😂

I'm reading again (thank goodness) not as much as I used to, but I'm just happy to be interested in something.

Hope everyone is doing well 💐
