☕️ BOOKSTACK CHALLENGE ☕️
Happy Wednesday! We’ve made it to midweek and I feel that deserves a pat on the back and an extra cup of something caffeinated. So I figured, what better day to do a #matchyourmug stack? This adorable mug from @naturallife was a gift from my oldest daughter. ♥️ I’m obsessed with this mug!
All of these books are from my TBR shelves except for The Story of the Country House which I am currently reading. It’s about the evolution of the country house in Britain, from its Roman precursors down to present day. It’s (so far) a fascinating read!
💬 What are you currently reading and are you enjoying it thus far?

Elite figure skaters experience chemistry on and off the ice in this intoxicating tale of ambition, sabotage, and love.
Well researched and told in the style of Taylor Jenkins Reid, this story kept me invested from the beginning to end. Despite the extraordinary circumstances the characters felt relatable, the dialogue felt natural and propelled the story forward. The mystery element also kept me guessing. While it seemed to slow down quite a bit in the middle, it picked back up towards the end and delivered a solid and satisfying finish.
The audiobook, #gifted to me by @prhaudio , was phenomenal! Featuring a full cast, including ice skatings own Johnny Weir, made this fictional book truly feel like a documentary. SO GOOD! I think this is my second favorite audiobook behind Daisy Jones and the Six!
Highly recommend!

I succumbed again to the siren call that is @bookoutlet and while I am certain someone is to blame, I refuse to point fingers at myself. 😂
2 of these titles are ones I’ve already read but needed physical copies of: The Enchanted April and All My Sons.
I picked Beasts of a Little Land for my siblings book club choice for this summer and needed one more copy to gift. The other 2, The Golden Gate and Death of a Salesman are also on my TBR.

Magnolia “Mack” Bishop is staring down the barrel at single motherhood–thanks to an unsolicited personal picture her husband texted another woman that quickly went viral among every mom group in town. But she’s determined to not let it distract her from the professional victory she’s inches away from: securing Charleston’s prestigious Historic Preservation Design Fellowship, the apple of every local designer’s eye.
But when the final house tour is undone by a host of calamities, Mack’s shot at the fellowship goes up in flames. Smelling blood in the water, Mack’s mother, the original Magnolia Bishop, breezes in with a project lead–strings attached. If there’s one thing Magnolia lives for, aside from maintaining her station atop the Southern social ladder, it’s to control Mack’s life . . . and that includes keeping the identity of the absentee father Mack never knew in the shadows.
While working for her mother is the professional equivalent of moving into one’s parent’s basement, Mack spots an opportunity to make it her own when a television network puts a call out for local designers. Pitching the home renovation TV pilot of her dreams–one with a historic preservation twist–might just be the way to finally prove herself. Still, she’ll have to do it covertly to avoid her mother’s interference.
Just when Mack finds her professional footing, at home she spots an impossibly familiar figure unloading his moving truck into the newly sold house next door. She is furious, floored, and regrettably flustered because Lincoln Kelly is the one who got away. Fifteen years earlier he was a summer romance she inadvertently fell in love with, and when he left, following his dreams to New York, Mack was broken-hearted.
Thank you @harpermusebooks the author @gracehelenabooks and @tlcbooktours for this #gifted copy!
