Unboxing My Latest Book Haul
Book Mail: A Roundup of the Book Mail I Received Last Week
There’s something extra special about a book haul arriving in late April, just as spring hits its stride. A week’s worth of book mail brings the thrill of new book releases, perfect for refreshing your TBR pile with stories full of promise and possibility. With summer reading on the horizon, it’s the ideal time to discover hidden gems and early contenders for the best books of 2025. Each title adds a spark of excitement, whether you’re looking for your next great read or gathering book recommendations to share with fellow book lovers.
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:
Earrings | Necklace | Top | Jeans | Makeup
Wearing an olive green short sleeve sweater that flatters with quiet confidence, wide leg jeans that move with ease, and her everyday gold hoop earrings that never fail to complete a look, she’s effortlessly embodying main character energy this late April afternoon. With sunlight streaming through the window and a fresh stack of book mail beside her, she's in her element—living her main character life with intention and style. It’s a moment where main character aesthetic meets bookish joy, the kind of scene that feels like it was lifted from the pages of a character-driven novel. Her outfit is more than just clothing—it’s fashion for self-expression, a main character outfit chosen not just for looks, but for how it makes her feel: powerful, grounded, and a little bit magical. As she flips through the covers of books that inspire confidence, she’s reminded that both fashion and fiction are tools for writing your own story—and in hers, she’s the heroine, through and through.
