Happy almost-release day to REAL MEN KNIT by Kwana Jackson & thanks to @berkleyromance #partner for this advanced copy! . . I read this one last month & it was very sweet, although I wish the romance had been a little more significant. Still, I loved the characters, their shared history, and the love they both feel for the yarn shop and their neighborhood. REAL MEN KNIT is out tomorrow. . . Do you have any crafty hobbies? I have learned how to knit & crochet, and I am pretty terrible at both. 😆 But I am an okay sewer, and putter with some other crafts like painting and jewelry making. I'm not great at any of them, but I find the activities soothing. . . #storiesbdaymay2020 - #readinglife #booksofmay20 - memories . . #realmenknit #berkleyromance #newbook #booksiread #whatiread #romancebookstagram #romancebooks #IReadRomance #romancereaders #romancenovels #bookflatlay #bookishflatlay #bookandtea #mybookfeatures https://www.instagram.com/p/CAVmVkUgi7s/?igshid=1xipc179lo3tu

Happy #StackSaturday? 🌸 Yes, that is a question. Is it Saturday? What is time? . . I am so so so happy that both our twins are now home from the hospital, but oh lord is it hard juggling two newborns at once. What even is sleep?? I am beyond exhausted, but I'm not even mad about it. The love I feel for these two little nuggets is beyond anything I ever could have imagined. . . Anyway, here are some pretty books, photographed in Miss Lily's nursery. Enjoy!

And just like that, May is over! 😱 How was your reading this month? . . I started the month by giving birth to my twins -- doctors literally started me on drugs to induce labor around 1am on May 1st and they were born about 27 or so hours later. 👶👶 So I didn't expect to get much reading done. But surprisingly, I finished 9 books! I've been doing almost all of my reading during my pumping sessions, and then sometimes while holding a fussy baby. 📚 My Kindle has been such a blessing, because it's the easiest way to read while juggling a baby (or two). I've got a few physical books I'd love to get to soon, but we'll see how that goes moving forward. Also, HUGE thanks to @berkleyromance for all the e-galleys of upcoming releases. . . A few of you have asked about this pillow you've seen the twins chilling on in my stories; it's the @twinzpillow_onezpillow & is easily one of the best baby purchases I've made. It's great for both breastfeeding and bottle feeding, and obviously is a great place for the babes to relax while my husband and I get things done around the house. Any new or expectant moms should note that they also make a version for single babies. 😉 . . #AllTheBooksMay20 #storiesbdaymay2020 May Wrap-Up . . #whatiread #booksiread #onmyereader #ebooks #IReadRomance #romancebookstagram #momswhoread #readingmom #twinmom #twinzpillow #mommyreads #momreads #bookstagrammom #momsofbookstagram #readinglife #mybookishlife #booknerdlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CA3bgzvA2Qb/?igshid=1tjlcgbk802yz

Who are some of your favorite fictional siblings? 👶👶 I was always a fan of the Weasley twins, even before I found out I was having twins of my own. But today seemed like a good time to post some Fred & George love, in honor of it also being my twins' due date! Of course, my babies are also almost 4 weeks old, having been born at just past 36 weeks. It's crazy to me how much they have already grown! (Swipe right for a pic from today.) . . Fred & George print is from a previous @dreamyandco box.

Happy release day to SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT by @merylwilsner, a queer slow-burn Hollywood romance that is full of sass and charm. 💋 I was absolutely enchanted by this book, and these characters. Their quirks and challenges and hopes and dreams are made so real on the page. It's got all the things I look for in a rom-com, while also tackling some more serious topics. Grab your copy of this one today! . . Thanks @berkleyromance for the advanced copy . .
