reading for 7 hours on a train 📚🚊 | the book that put me to sleep + trying a new to me genre

WE ARE GOING HOME!! come with me on a cozy 7-hour train ride from New Jersey to Virginia as I try to finish Katabasis (it's been 3 months....). I also picked up a book from a genre I don't normally dabble in … and it totally surprised me.

If you love reading vlogs, long train rides, and honest book reactions, this is for you.

AVOID FOMO! Here's what content I have planned + a reminder to connect your discord to Bindery ✨

Happy Tuesday friends! Thank you all so much for joining the All Shades on Bindery :) I spent about 2 hours yesterday making a content plan for All Shades 2.0's first month. I'm super excited for all I've got in store and I'd love to know y'alls thoughts as well!

What do y'all think? Interesting? Boring? What else would y'all wanna see?

ALSO!!
If you haven't already connected your Discord account to Bindery, DO IT!! Most of our communications and a chance for you to make more connections in the bookish community happens in the All Shades Discord! That is also where Drizzles and Puddle Jumpers will be able to submit Book Club and TBR suggestions as well as Deep Dive conversation idea submissions! When you get in make sure you introduce yourself!

Anyways, that's all I've got for today. I filmed the Q&A today and finished Katabasis by RF Kuang today so be on the lookout for those posts in the next week or so! live laugh love y'all,
Sera

gifts for book lovers (for any occasion) ✨ vlogmas day 1!

christmas is right around the corner but these are perfect gifts for any reader, any time!

a weekend in la - trying erewhon smoothies, partying at universal studios, browsing little tokyo

days 2, 3, and 4 of the bookish influencer trip in LA, hosted by @HarperCollinsPublishers! If you haven't seen day 1, watch it here!

I went to Erewhon for the plot (kinda the scariest place on earth tbh) and was the smoothie worth it? maybe?? kinda?? Partied on New York Street at the Fox Studios lot (they played no hands so I was really having the time of my life). This weekend was jam-packed and some of the most fun I've had in a long time. hope you enjoy!

48 hours in Canada 🇨🇦 | my first trip abroad, 5⭐️ hotel, Avatar in concert

✈️ I finally left the US for the first time (highly recommend) and spent 48 hours in Canada. Saw Avatar: The Last Airbender in concert and tried Canadian bacon for the first time (life-changing), Explored the Richmond Night Market (the biggest night market in North America), and stayed in ANOTHER 5-star hotel.

📍 Places we visited:

spend a Sunday with me ☀️ chatty grwm, brunch in Hoboken & book shopping

brunch, bookish friends, and kdrama tea! ☀️ enjoy a Sunday with me that starts off with a little chatty grwm, then we head out to Hoboken to meet @khalilahd. for brunch, book shopping, and a relaxing stroll through town.

rainy day in Amsterdam 🌧️ canal tour, vintage finds & farmers market

Twas my last full day in Amsterdam and it rained all day 🫠. BUT ME AND BESTIE MARIA MADE THE MOST OF IT! This was my first time traveling in Europe and only my second time out of the country (see Canada Vlog Here!) and it was jam-packed with vintage shopping, good food, and canal-side views.

every day make up ✿ answering your questions ✿ recovering from summer depression

let’s chat! and do our makeup! and just be slay together!

CONTROVERSIAL OPINIONS ABOUT BOOKS!!

you all shared your hot takes and I agreed with some and disagreed with others! I hold nothing back, we get a bit political, and messy and just darn truthful!

read with me | busting a 5-month slump 🤒 | failed buddy read 👀📚

5 months of thinking, "maybe I don't love reading anymore?" to finishing 2 books in a week and starting a new sure-fire banger! I finally broke my reading slump—thanks to Katabasis by R.F. Kuang, The Floating World by Axie Oh, and Faithbreaker by Hannah Kaner.

Join me for 3 cozy days of reading in my room, eating breakfast in my pajamas, and trying to keep up with a buddy read (spoiler: I failed, but for a good reason!).
