2023-midyear-reading-checkin-feature

I want to share some insights into my reading for the first half of the year (January through the end of June). It’s always interesting to look back on what I’ve read to see what stood out, what stuck with me, and what kind-of flopped for me.

On a different note, one of my current reads is this delightful NA fantasy romance -- Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer! I love the humor and light-hearted tone, reminiscent of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy or My Lady Jane 💕

We had a fun but exhausting weekend! I was just watching the Philadelphia Eagles squeak out a win, and now I'm unpacking + doing some Sunday evening prep with the company of this audiobook -- Juniper Bean Resorts to Muder by Gracie Ruth Mitchell 🎧  @a.uniquely.portable.magic recommended this sweet romance with a cozy mystery mixed in. I borrowed it on Hoopla, and it's been a great, lighthearted read so far!

One of my best friends, Andrea, envisioned celebrating turning 40 in glamorous fashion -- literally -- by getting some pals together for an "80s/90s-esque glamour shot" party and photoshoot 👩🏼‍🎤 Prepping everyone's looks was so much fun and absolutely hilarious as we relived our pasts! @requiemimages did the actual shoot, and the pictures are priceless! <swipe to see some behind-the-scenes snaps> My inspo was "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion/Bianca Stratford from 10 Things I Hate About You" 😆

To make her 40th birthday even more worthwhile (and in true Andrea form because she is such a giver), the birthday girl was hoping to raise some money for a local charity near and dear to her heart, Scott's Run Settlement House. I shared how to donate to this non-profit on the last slide. For fun, if you make a donation and let us know, everyone has agreed to share more of the glam photos 😘 They are absolutely worth a donation to charity, I promise you!

Since my account is public, I took it upon myself to try to boost this. Please share!
