Tackling the TBR list one colorful stack at a time. I’m half way through Recursion so I am making my way through this yellow stack! . QOTD: any plans for the weekend? What book do you plan to read and what are your thoughts on it so far? . . #whimandwitty #bookstagram #igreads #bookblog #bookworm #goodreads #tbr #bookrecommendation #bbhqueens #newbookrelease #bookphotography #booksharks #booksparks #bookshelf #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstack
QOTD: does anyone else have an unnecessary amount of coffee table books? What’s your favorite? . Calvin & Hobbes is one of my fave coffee table books. It reminds me of reading the Sunday comics in the newspaper growing up. Anyone else? . . #whimandwitty #bookstagram #igreads #bookblog #bookworm #goodreads #tbr #bookrecommendation #bbhqueens #newbookrelease #bookphotography #booksharks #booksparks #bookshelf #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #calvinandhobbes #coffeetablebooks
Thankful for this awesome birthday gift from my boyfriend who clearly knows me well. This is going straight to the top of the #TBR. . Tell me: QOTD - how often to covers influence you? This cover is gorgeous and definitely added to how much I wanted the physical copy. Or do you subscribe to the old “don’t judge a book by its cover.” Or what is your fave cover? . Personally I love the recent trend of illustrated covers in romance. . . #whimandwitty #bookstagram #igreads #bookblog #bookworm #goodreads #tbr #bookrecommendation #bbhqueens #newbookrelease #bookphotography #booksharks #booksparks #bookshelf #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #recursion #darkmatter #sciencefiction
QOTD: what book continually sits on your TBR shelf? Do y’all believe in “no-buys” until you can get your TBR down? . Still haven’t read this #BOTM pick. It’s haunting me from my #TBR shelves. I’m really trying to start this one tonight. Has anyone read this and can sway me either day? . . . #whimandwitty #bookstagram #igreads #bookblog #bookworm #goodreads #tbr #bookrecommendation #bbhqueens #newbookrelease #bookphotography #booksharks #booksparks #bookshelf #bookstagram #bookstagrammer
QOTD: what was the last thing you bought for “treat yo self?” Or if it’s been awhile, what would you like to buy? | for me it’s these cute cacti! They still need re-potted. . REVIEW: Ok y’all I gotta be honest - I have sat with my feelings about this book for awhile. I was conflicted because I usually love RS Grey, but I gotta give my honest thoughts. . I loved Taylor’s characterization. I grew up in a similar situation to Taylor, so my heart just went out to her. . I also thought this book delivered on enemies-to-lovers and slow burn. The banter was great and the tension between Taylor and Ethan was amazing. . The only downfall for me is that they were enemies for far toooo long. They were still enemies at like the 75-80% mark. I live for the thawing portion of the enemies to lovers tripe. I love seeing the hatred slowly break down and turn into love. I needed a better balance here. . Overall, I did enjoy Coldhearted Boss. It was 3/5⭐️ for me. If there was more time spent on the romance after the enemies portion, this would have been a 4 or 5 for me. Tell me — what did y’all think? Is this a classic case of it’s not you - it’s me? . FULL REVIEW is in the linktree on the blog (see my bio!) . . . #whimandwitty #bookstagram #igreads #bookblog #bookworm #goodreads #tbr #bookrecommendation #bbhqueens #newbookrelease #bookphotography #booksharks #booksparks #bookshelf #bookstagram #bookstagrammer
{#partner} QOTD: what genre do you read most, what genre book do you own most, and what genre do you look for most on bookstagram? | I read romance the most but I own the most thriller books. But on here I like to look for recs outside my comfort zone. I’ve gotten some great memoir recs this way! . Happy #publicationday to @chloe_liese for They’re a Match, the final installment of the Tough Love series. . They’re a Match carried over all my favorite aspects from the previous books. Nairne, as always, packs a punch on the page. She’s a role model for all, but especially women as we navigate a modern world. . The ending was *chefs kiss.* They’re a Match did an amazing job of deepening the connection between Zed and Nairne. Exploring the changes in their relationship as they prepare for parenthood. Unveiling a vulnerability in Nairne as she grappled with how motherhood looks as a parent who has a disability. . The care and fragility Chloe Liese used when writing this is beautiful. I dare you to not cry a little. . Full review is in the link in my bio! Come read me ramble on about how much I loved this book (spoiler free). 5/5⭐️. . . #whimandwitty #bookstagram #igreads #bookblog #bookworm #goodreads #tbr #bookrecommendation #bbhqueens #newbookrelease #bookphotography #booksharks #booksparks #bookshelf #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #chloeliese #theyreamatch #toughloveseries
Y’all it’s my birthday! I’m celebrating 24 years today. I wanted to share four things I’m thankful for as I head into this new chapter. 1. Thankful for books (always!) I’m hopefully finishing up They’re a Match tonight. Reading is always my favorite. 2. My friends and family who have made me feel so lucky today (and every day). 3. Thankful for bonfires and that campfire smell. (You know what I mean!). 4. Margaritas! Cuz today I’m celebrating not only my birthday but a new job offer. Cheers y’all! What are you thankful for today? . . #whimandwitty #bookstagram #igreads #bookblog #bookworm #goodreads #tbr #bookrecommendation #bbhqueens #newbookrelease #bookphotography #booksharks #booksparks #bookshelf #bookstagram #bookstagrammer
QOTD: any advice on finding a style/furnishing an apartment? Where do y’all take inspiration from? | I find myself so lost when picking out furniture or trying to decide what will look best in my apartment. My mind is like: Mid century? Round table? Pinterest? I love seeing y’all’s offices and living rooms - they are magazine worthy! . REVIEW: I really enjoyed my #BOTM pick, Well Met, from debut author, Jen DeLuca. Well Met was a great summer romance read filled with character growth, small town dynamics, and Shakespeare references. A winning combination in my eyes. . This book was just fun. I loved the small town setting, the Faire backdrop, and Emily was such a great character to read through. I related to her in so many ways, especially her “I will try to fix everything” attitude and her desire to feel “needed” by those around her. Reading her character growth was so satisfying. . The one thing I really miss in romance is when it lacks dual POV. I think it’s easier for me to connect to the story when I can see both POVs. Well Met is told through single POV. With that being said, I still really loved it and am definitely recommending it if you’re looking for a fast, cute, summer read. 4/5⭐️. . Anyone else read this one? What did y’all think? . #whimandwitty #bookstagram #igreads #bookblog #bookworm #goodreads #tbr #bookrecommendation #bbhqueens #newbookrelease #bookphotography #booksharks #booksparks #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #wellmet #jendeluca #berkleyromance #romancestagram
QOTD: how do you organize your books? Chaos, by height, by author? . There is something so refreshing about the end of summer. Feeling so motivated and creative to be productive. I am moved in (mostly) and staring at a blank bookshelf has me SO excited. Can’t wait to get it organized. . For now, I’m featuring the very first books to make it on the shelf - this weeks bookmail! My BOTM pick, my BOTM add on, and an ARC of @chloe_liese third book in her tough love series, They’re a Match. . #whimandwitty #bookstagram #igreads #bookblog #bookworm #goodreads #tbr #bookrecommendation #bbhqueens #newbookrelease #bookphotography #booksharks #booksparks #bookshelf #bookstagram #bookstagrammer
QOTD: how do y’all decide on a theme for your IG feed? Or do you even care about a theme?! | for my past few posts I’ve been trying out a different filter and I really like how they’ve been looking! Sometimes it’s hard to balance wanting your feed to look cohesive and feeling like you want to post whatever you want, whenever you want. Where do y’all stand on deciding what to post? . #whimandwitty #bookstagram #igreads #bookblog #bookworm #goodreads #tbr #bookrecommendation #bbhqueens #newbookrelease #bookphotography #booksharks #booksparks #bookshelf #bookstagram #bookstagrammer
QOTD: what is a book that really helped shape your life? | for me it’s Harry Potter, Twilight, and Percy Jackson. Twilight helped foster my love for romance, HP was my life growing up, and reading Percy Jackson got me through a hard time in my life. I will always love these three series! . I normally don’t do monthly #tbr because I’m such a mood reader that I can’t commit. But these books have been on my shelf for awhile now and I really would like to get to these in August. I also have #harrypotter 3 featured because I’d love to do a re-read of the series soon. What do y’all hope to read in August? . #whimandwitty #bookstagram #igreads #bookblog #bookworm #goodreads #tbr #bookrecommendation #bbhqueens #newbookrelease #bookphotography #booksharks #booksparks #bookshelf #bookstagram #bookstagrammer
QOTD: I’m doing some back to school shopping today (finishing up my last year of law school.) Did anyone else love back to school season growing up? I loved the Lisa Frank binders and getting my backpack packed for the first day haha. . REVIEW: I finally read Red, White, and Royal Blue! What can I say that hasn’t already been said (and praised) about this one? . I gave this a 5⭐️. This book has everything I love — romance, politics, and royalty. The characters are so well written and the dialogue is absolutely amazing. So funny. So witty. I wanted to be in the main friend group so badly. . Needless to say this book also has important themes and the overall message and tone of the book couldn’t be more sincere, heartfelt, or powerful. . This book made my heart swoon and made me feel all the feelings. Above all, I had so much fun reading it. . If you haven’t already read this one, add it to your TBRs now! It’s the perfect summer read. Tell me- what did y’all think about this one? . #whimandwitty #bookstagram #igreads #bookblog #bookworm #goodreads #tbr #bookrecommendation #bbhqueens #newbookrelease #bookphotography #booksharks #booksparks #bookshelf #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #redwhiteandroyalblue
It’s officially y’all - I’m moved out of my apartment! While moving week was stressful for me, Marty had the best time sleeping on (mostly) empty bookshelves. . Can’t wait to get a new bookshelf set up in the new place. Starting off August feeling fresh and ready for a new beginning. . Anyone else have big plans for August? Any goals going into the second half of the year? . #whimandwitty #bookstagram #igreads #bookblog #bookworm #goodreads #tbr #bookrecommendation #bbhqueens #newbookrelease #bookphotography #booksharks #booksparks #bookshelf #bookstagram #bookstagrammer
