Just a little ombré stack for @pattyisbooked’s

Just a little ombré stack for @pattyisbooked’s #OmbreStackChallenge ✨ thank you to the tagged publishers for the gifted books!⁣
⁣
[ID: a blue ombré stack that goes from darker on the bottom to lighter on the top. The books are stacked on the corner of a white shelf and a snake plant is in a rattan planter to the right of the shelf]

If you haven’t done so already, add CEMETERY BOY

If you haven’t done so already, add CEMETERY BOYS to your fall TBR. It’s been a year since I read it and I still think about it often and catch myself looking at it with stars and hearts in my eyes 🧡✨⁣
⁣
I wish I enjoyed LOST IN THE NEVER WOODS as much as CEMETERY BOYS, but it was a bit of a let down for me. I was so excited for a darker Peter Pan retelling but the story felt incomplete and anti-climactic. My disappointment with NEVER WOODS notwithstanding, Aiden Thomas is still an auto-buy author to me because of the perfection and richness and beauty that was CEMETERY BOYS.⁣
⁣
Do you have any authors like that? Where you loved one book but felt meh about the other?⁣

This summer was filled with 5⭐️ books ✨ With summer officially over, I was looking back on everything I read from June 20–September 22 and I had such a fun reading summer! It was filled with 4, 4.5, and 5⭐️ reads. ⁣
⁣
What were your favorite books from this past summer? Did we read any of the same ones?⁣
⁣
[ID: a stack of books on a white shelf with two art prints leaning against the wall behind it and a white candle to the left of it. The stack contains (from top to bottom): A Lot Like Adiós, It Happened One Summer, The Royals Next Door, Isn’t It Bromantic?, To Sir, With Love, To Have and To Hate, The Charm Offensive, Fat Chance, Charlie Vega, Good Girl, Bad Blood, The Maddest Obsession, The Sweetest Oblivion, Ace of Spades, Mythos]

✨COVER REVEAL✨⁣
⁣
I am SO excited to help with the cover reveal of @amyleabooks’s debut, SET ON YOU! This is one of my most anticipated books of 2022, and not just because I adore Amy, but because I’m finally getting the fat/plus Chinese main character that I’ve been waiting my entire life for. Keep reading for the blurb below and make sure to add this to your TBR/goodreads!⁣
⁣
SET ON YOU comes out May 10, 2022!⁣

〰️⁣
⁣
A gym nemesis pushes a fitness influencer to the max in Amy Lea's steamy debut romantic comedy.⁣
⁣
Curvy fitness influencer Crystal Chen built her career shattering gym stereotypes and mostly ignoring the trolls. After her recent breakup, she has little stamina left for men, instead finding solace in the gym - her place of power and positivity.⁣
⁣
Enter firefighter Scott Ritchie, the smug new gym patron who routinely steals her favorite squat rack. Sparks fly as these ultra-competitive foes battle for gym domination. But after a series of escalating jabs, the last thing they expect is to run into each other at their grandparents' engagement party.⁣
⁣
In the lead up to their grandparents' wedding, Crystal discovers there's a soft heart under Scott's muscled exterior. Bonding over family, fitness, and cheesy pick-up lines, she just might have found her swolemate. But when a photo of them goes viral, savage internet trolls put their budding relationship to the ultimate test of strength.

It’s fall, y’all! If I seem extra excited for

It’s fall, y’all! If I seem extra excited for fall this year, it’s because I AM. I finally get sweater weather, leaves changing color, and autumnal vibes aplenty 🍂✨⁣
⁣
HOUSE OF HOLLOW is at the top of my fall tbr; I’ve heard it’s perfect for spooky szn and is super atmospheric! What books are you most excited for this fall?⁣
⁣
[ID: a copy of House of Hollow lies on top of a copy of The Ones We’re Meant to Find. Both books are stacked on a dark wood console table. In the background, there’s a pumpkin-shaped candle, a white vase, and a yellow fall arrangement]

Happy pub day to ON LOCATION by @authorsarahs and

Happy pub day to ON LOCATION by @authorsarahs and FIRST LOVE, TAKE TWO by @sajnipatelbooks ✨⁣
⁣
I loved ON LOCATION (I posted my review the other day!) and highly recommend everyone pick up a copy, and THE TROUBLE WITH HATING YOU was one of my favorite rom-coms last year, so FIRST LOVE, TAKE TWO has been a highly anticipated read for me. ⁣
⁣
What books are you excited about? Do you have plans to read either of these?⁣
⁣
[ID: copies of On Location and First Love, Take Two are on the chaise of a grey couch, with the copy of On Location partially on top of First Love, Take Two. In the background, there’s a rattan basket with a blanket and pillow and a monstera and fiddle leaf fig plant. Dim Sum is sitting on the ledge and looking out the window]
