Unboxing My Latest Book Haul
Book Mail: A Roundup of the Book Mail I Received Last Week
A week's worth of book mail in mid-April is the ultimate book haul, filled with the excitement of new book releases and fresh additions to the ever-growing TBR pile. As spring is in full bloom, there’s nothing better than unboxing a stack of anticipated reads, discovering potential best books of 2025, and adding new titles to your list of book recommendations. Whether it’s a gripping novel for a rainy afternoon or a feel-good story to enjoy in the sunshine, each book is a reminder that every season is better with a good story in hand.
Where to Buy These Books:
I want to note that I do not get paid to do these posts, I just love authors and the book industry. However, they do take time and energy to create.

What I Wore:
Sweater | Jeans | Earrings | Makeup
Dressed in an effortlessly chic black sweater and perfectly fitted black skinny jeans, she embodies main character energy with every step. The simplicity of the look is intentional—a main character outfit that radiates confidence and ease, punctuated by her everyday gold hoop earrings, a signature touch that makes her feel polished and powerful. As she settles in with a fresh stack of book mail, each package a portal to new adventures, she feels the synergy between main character fashion and main character mindset. Flipping through crisp pages, she curates her next character-driven novel to dive into, choosing a story as bold and compelling as her own. In this moment, she isn’t just reading about strong heroines—she is one, living her main character life, one book and one impeccably styled outfit at a time.
