Happy #StackSaturday friends! 📚 How is it August already?! What are you planning to read this month? I've got some new digital ARCs loaded up on my Kindle that I want to tackle, but otherwise I'm gonna mood read, and maybe some of the books in this stack will make the cut. . . It's also the beginning of my rep term for @getfictional, which makes some of my favorite candles ever, including this one, which is the perfect scent for summer. I put it put in our living room a couple months ago for the season and my husband saw it, smelled it, nodded, and then lit it. 🤣 So it's got his stamp of approval too.

Do you have any unique traditions in your family? 💀 This coming weekend is Talk Like a Pirate Day, and my husband & I have decided we're going to celebrate like a real holiday with our kids. Because why not? Plus, we both love pirates! . . I love beachy-scented candles, and I have quite a few, but I love how refreshing & unique this Seaside Villages candle from @getfictional smells by comparison. It's beachy, but the herbal scents adds a really unexpected, magical layer to it.

And that's a wrap on Christmas 2020. 🎄 Do you leave your decorations up for a bit, or take them down right away? We've already taken down most of our decorations. As much as I love putting them up, as soon as the holiday is over, I want them down immediately. It makes the house feel so calm and clean to me. It's like a physical reset going into the new year. . . Also, we have a million new toys for the babies, so I need to reclaim some small physical space in the house. 🤣 . . #FearYourNovel - Winter Lights #AllTheBooksDec20 - Snowy Reads #booksofdec20 - bright . . #getfictionalcandles #getfictional #openbook #bookfan #bookishcandle #winterreads #AmReading #holidayreads #winterbooks #bookishfeatures https://www.instagram.com/p/CJRWwa1A256/?igshid=zumck0y7kgfj

Happy Saturday! 🎄 Did you decorate more or less than usual this year for the holidays? . . Between staying home 24/7 and having our twins' first Christmas, my husband and I went ALL OUT ... even more than we usually do. Last night, on a crazy whim, we even went out and got a 2nd real tree for our downstairs, because why not. 😂🤦 . . Whether you decorate a lot or a little, the Dickens Christmas candle from @getfictional sets the PERFECT holiday mood. I love this fragrance. This is actually the old label, but I have a larger version of this candle with the new label and it is even more gorgeous and smells just as divine. The shop closes tomorrow night for the year, so hurry & get your last minute orders in.

Happy Saturday! 🍂 What's something small that made your day brighter recently? . . Our twins have been going through a sleep regression this week, which means I've been extra sleep deprived because of all the overnight stirrings. 😭 But this morning I woke up peacefully after 8am, because my husband had quietly gotten up and taken care of both babies so I could get some more sleep. . . Feeling all the fall vibes this morning with wet pavement and lots of leaves on the ground, after a storm system passed through here yesterday. And even though Halloween is over, I love the cozy scent of this Monster Mash candle from @getfictional, so I am lighting it up to enjoy those good vibes today.

Do you have any favorite classic horror novels? 💀 I remember being SO disappointed the first time I read FRANKENSTEIN amd realized it was basically just social commentary, but DRACULA did not disappoint! It was spooky and creepy, and I dig all the various adaptations and retellings there have been over the years. This year, I'm particularly enjoying the @babylitbooks version with my twins, which is actually a counting primer. (Their version of Frankenstein is pretty great, too. Sorry, Mary Shelley.) . .

Have you been reading anything spooky this month? 💀 I read The Fell of Dark by Caleb Roehrig, which had vampires, but I'm not sure I'd call it spooky. Otherwise, I've been on my usual rom-com binge. 😂 🤷 A lady knows what she likes, what can I say? . . And what I DO like is this Monster Mash candle from @getfictional -- it smells divine!

Are you making a Halloween reading list? 👻 Here's a witchy bookstack to provide some inspiration! . . It's been a stressful week here, with insane wildfires burning all across our area (& the entire west coast, really). We are currently in a level 1 evacuation zone, which means "be ready." I don't think we'll actually progress to level 2, based on our location, but it's still unnerving. Plus, it is very eerie/scary looking outside, with the sepia-toned skies and heavy smoke and ash. (See my stories.) I'm just grateful we are safe right now. . . In happier news, @getfictional is restocking tomorrow! You'll be able to grab one of these cauldrons (filled with your choice of candle scent), a glass skeleton jar candle, any of the regular or Halloween candles, AND she's even releasing holiday candles early! (Hint: Dickens Christmas is the perfect holiday scent, IMO!)
