I really wish I had taken progress photos, but here is an update!

So back in July we decided to move, again, but this time we bought a house. We have been working on converting some of the space so that it could fit my collection. So I’m happy to share this little update with you guys.

There is one last section of flooring to be laid, The left wall needs a little more compound and then sanding and painting. We have to finish laying the trim at the bottom and put in the corner mold, and then of course the painting, but after that it will be completed!

My small library is one of the things that brings me the best solace in my anxiety/depressed moments so I can’t wait for this to be finished. I can’t believe this room used to be a sports bar.

It’s the season of black sprayed edges!

These are two of my most anticipated reads. I’m about 90% done with GIDEON THE NINTH and I’m having some very mixed feelings. I love the writing style but the story is a bit convoluted. Full review soon!!

Ok, most of you know that I am trash for Victoria Schwab.

If you didn’t know, well now you do

Recently, V revealed on Instagram, in conjunction with Juniper books, that she helped design a custom book set for The Shades of Magic series. Naturally, I smash the purchase button.

And here they are!! Behold my new Shades of Magic dust jackets in all their glory!


Side note: if you have never seen Juniper books or heard of them I highly recommend checking them out. They have a lot of beautiful custom jackets for a great many different series. Here’s a tiny sneak peek at the catalog.

Ok guys, vacations over, back on schedule, here’s an update!

This is the current state of my library. ‍♀️ We moved (again). We bought a house! Unfortunately the room that will be my library needs some renovations. It’s a lot of work and it’s hard for my husband and I to coordinate time to get any of the actual work done. So, in the meantime, my pictures are gonna have to take on a little bit of a different background. Which isn’t so bad because fall is right around the corner and makes for the lovely photos!

So, tell me, what are your new favorite books? What upcoming books are you looking forward to?

Finally home from vacation and this beauty was waiting for me!

Victoria Schwab’s second book of her Cassidy Blake series. If you haven’t heard of it or read it, where have you been!? If you like ghosts, haunted places, and the paranormal, it’s a series for you. Plus, it the perfect read for fall!

This edition is from Fox & Wit’s Quarterly Box (it’s a book subscription if you haven’t heard of them). I have an addiction to sprayed edges now and love the aesthetic it adds. A lot of book subscription services are doing this special feature for their books.

What special features of books do you guys like?

(Sorry it’s not an as pretty picture. I was just so excited and had to share.)

In the Atlantic, kids are playing at the Waterworks, and I’m finally settling in for a book!

Has anyone reads this? Is it any good?

Send me your thoughts! No spoilers though!! ♥️

It took, what feels like, FOREVER to receive my Goldsboro edition of AURORA RISING. Having this beauty in my hands makes it worth it! AND it’s #55 of 500!

I finished Aurora Rising a couple of weeks ago and it left me SHOOK! I had never been a fan of Sci-FI, much less space operas BUT Jay and Amie have showed me the light! Sci-Fi is now of my favorite genres. If you loved The Illuminae Files you definitely want to pick up Aurora Rising

The 3 editions I have are the US hardback, Goldsboro limited edition with purple sprayed edges, andlastly,Illumicrate exclusive edition with alternate cover color and pink sprayed edges.

I am so very excited to read this! I don’t care if the intended audience is middle grade, Cassidy and Jacob give me life. Not to mention, V always slays it with the world building and creating atmospheric reads. ♥️
