Ok I know it’s not officially Autumn yet but we’re heading in that direction quickly so I thought you might want to start preparing that cozy, Autumn list of books to read! I’ve done various posts on books through out my years blogging, but I usually share those reads after I’ve made my way through the entirety of the book. I wanted to change things up a bit and share with you what I’m currently reading, so maybe you can join in while I’m still knee-deep in the books as well.

I’ve always been the type of reader to be 10 chapters deep in 4-5 books at a time. I love mixing up my daily reads just to keep things interesting and challenge my mind with different topics. So below you’ll see the wide range of stories I’m currently working through.

Currently on the Night-Stand

Chasing Slow: This is a memoir/coffee table book that I saw fly through social media about 4 or 5 months ago. I knew that I’d eventually pick it up because I’m usually “in” to the trendy books that everyone likes to read. Sorry not sorry. I was excited to see what truth bombs this book had for me because lately I feel like I can’t ever fully “shut-off,” and surely Chasing Slow would have a tip or two on doing so. Sure enough, I’ve found myself highlighting my way through most chapters and making notes along the margins. This is a good’un to pick up to clear your brain.

Caraval: The older I get, the harder I am to please in the fiction genre. It takes a lot for me to get sucked into fictional stories and it’s not because I don’t like reading fiction, I actually love it. But apparently I’m exceptionally picky. It’s been almost a year since I finished my all-time favorite fiction series, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children and I’ve struggled to find anything that lives up to that ever since. Enter Caraval. I picked this book up on a whim because I really liked the cover since it reminded me of my favorite stand-alone book, The Night Circus. And now it’s turning into one of my all-time favorite reads. It’s nothing like I’d imagined it would be, but it’s magical, seductive, mysterious, and a really adventurous read!

You are a Badass at Making Money: Okay, are you done laughing yet? I know, what a weird title. Stay with me though. I really like to challenge myself by always keeping some sort of business related book in my stack of current reads and this so happens to be on my nightstand right now. Since money is so taboo and never talked about, I thought I’d challenge myself to read about such an uncomfortable topic. This book covers a lot about our mindset and road blocks when it comes to money. Jen Sincero, the author, went from being really poor to crazy rich once she shifted her mindset about money in her daily life. I’ve learned so much about perspective and how to navigate the negative thoughts we have about money through this book. Would highly recommend!

I’m switching up my favorites feature here on the blog to a seasonal favorites rather than a monthly favorites. So here’s what I’ve been loving so far in the Spring of 2017.

These oversized throw pillows from Target I recently picked up three of these oversized throw pillows from Target for our couch and they are everything I want in a reasonably priced, retail throw pillow. The price point was right where I needed it to be (and there are always coupons with the Target Cartwheel app), so I went for it. You know me and my white-on-white obsession. Well, I wanted throw pillows that were white with a bit of interest. So these were the perfect choice. They are just the right amount of cozy with a nice, minimal geometric pattern.

Klean Kanteen Thermos This may or may not have been my all-time best purchase since….ever. If you’re still in the dark ages toting around a Starbucks thermos that keeps your coffee warm for exactly 12 minutes, then your morning on-the-go coffee experience is about to dramatically change. This thermos is on the pricier side but it’s worth every dang penny. My coffee stays hot for hours and hours in this thermos. Like, just poured out of the coffee pot kind of hot. I purchased the 12oz version which is just the right size for me. I really can’t say enough about how great this find was. Hurry and buy one, thank me later.

Lo & Sons Catalina Deluxe Bag in Small I received this bag in the mail recently and I have a full post in the works to share about it’s greatness. But in the meantime, if you’re in the market for a weekend getaway bag, then this one is your best choice. Quality product, cute design and excellent amount of storage. Would recommend.

The Little Book of Hygge I came across this cute little book through social media. I saw a few of my favorite bloggers were reading it, the cover drew me in and I’m so glad that I ended up reading this little gem. The term “Hygge” is all about how Danish people define being cozy and in your best state. It’s a guide to achieving your most cozy state of being and that’s something I can support 100%. This was a lovely read before climbing into bed as it was quite a calming read.

Mini Backpacks Remember when mini backpacks were all the rage in 1995? Well, they’re back and better than ever. Hands free and cute? Loving this trend, and especially loving this one that I picked up at American Eagle.

Denim Jackets I have been l.o.v.i.n.g denim jackets this season. Call me trendy but I don’t even give a heck. I loved my denim jacket in high school and I often mourn the loss of that one. So I recently purchased a new one and I’ve successfully worked it back into my wardrobe. I’ve even gone out on a limb and sported denim head to toe… I know, call me crazy.

What are you currently loving? I’m always excited to find/try new things!
