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 late May is the ultimate kickoff to summer reading. With new book releases arriving just as long weekends and sunny afternoons begin, this book haul is packed with promise. Each title adds excitement to your TBR pile, offering everything from beach reads to gripping page-turners that could become the best books of 2025. Whether you're curating book recommendations for friends or diving into a story all your own, this stack of fresh reads brings joy, inspiration, and a whole season of possibilities.
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. If you want to donate a few dollars to my coffee fund, which keeps this blog going, you can do so here: https://venmo.com/AshleyHasty or here: http://paypal.me/hastybooklist.
What I Wore:
Tank Top | Blazer | Earrings | Neklace | Makeup
In late May, when the light lingers a little longer and everything feels on the verge of something good, slipping into a light blue tank layered under a crisp blue and white striped blazer, button-front skinny jeans with a frayed hem, and your everyday gold hoop earrings and herringbone necklace feels like stepping into your own highlight reel. It’s a main character outfit with polish and personality—classic with a twist, effortlessly embodying main character energy. With a fresh stack of book mail at your side, you’re not just browsing titles—you’re curating your next transformation. The books whisper promises of character-driven stories, self-discovery, and confidence-inspiring reads, while your outfit mirrors that same main character mindset. It’s that sweet spot where main character aesthetic books and clothing align—fashion for self-expression, books for inspiration, and you, fully living your main character life.
