We’ve been thinking about building an addition in our backyard for years. We desperately needed extra space, especially for crafts and creative projects. Six weeks and thanks to @ajsremodeling_outdoorliving we now have our “casita.” We love it so much! It’s now Sugar Rush headquarters and a space to workout. Can’t wait to take you on a mini tour inside ✨♥️

“Bury my bones in the midnight soil, plant them

“Bury my bones in the midnight soil, plant them shallow and water them deep, and in my place will grow a feral rose, soft red petals hiding sharp white teeth.”

I’m such a huge fan of @veschwab’s work—the lush, poetic prose, the wildly original premises, the way her stories linger long after you finish them. Her latest, Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil, delivers everything I love about her books and then some. It’s a sensual, time-sweeping vampire saga that explores love, loneliness, grief, rage, identity, and the hunger to belong. She crafts nuanced characters navigating impossible choices and discovering uncomfortable truths—about themselves, about the ones they love, and about what it means to be alive. Dark, seductive, and utterly mesmerizing. Cannot recommend it enough! Has anyone else read???? Let me know what you thought below!

#bookstagram #bookblogger Thank you to @torbooks for the review copy 🖤

I’ve been a longtime fan of @tjenkinsreid for go

I’ve been a longtime fan of @tjenkinsreid for good reason—her strong, complex women, her unique backdrops, and her compelling, cinematic storytelling.

Her latest, Atmosphere, is set against the backdrop of the 1980s space program and follows astronaut hopeful Joan Goodwin. The story seamlessly moves between Joan’s journey at NASA and a catastrophic disaster in 1984, ratcheting up the tension with every page.

Joan’s path isn’t easy—she faces intense pressure and deeply rooted sexism as she fights for her place in the program. It made her story all the more powerful.

I loved it all: the space setting, the story, and the characters. Atmosphere is propulsive, emotional, and utterly absorbing. So thoughtfully written! 👏🏼🚀💫

Currently reading: WITH A VENGEANCE by @riley.sager 🚂 📖

I’ve been a Riley Sager fan since his debut—no one delivers a twisty thriller quite like him 🕵🏻 His latest (out next week!) is a historical revenge tale set aboard a luxury train, and I’m loving it so far!

A woman with nothing to lose. A train full of secrets. And a plan that goes off the rails—fast. Such a good premise 👏🏼

More scoop below 👇 and you can pre-order now through the link in my stories!

For my Austin peeps, Riley will be at @bookpeople 6/11!! 🗓️ Thank you @duttonbooks for the advance copy! #bookstagram #rileysager #thrillerbooks

——————————————————————————-

One train. No stops. A deadly game of survival and revenge.

In 1942, six people destroyed Anna Matheson’s family. Twelve years later, she’s ready for retribution.

Under false pretenses, Anna has lured those responsible for her family’s downfall onto a luxury train from Philadelphia to Chicago, an overnight journey of thirteen hours. Her goal? Confront the people who’ve wronged her, get them to confess their crimes, and deliver them into the hands of authorities waiting at the end of the line. Justice will at last be served.

But Anna’s plan is quickly derailed by the murder of one of the passengers. As the train barrels through the night, it becomes clear that someone else on board is enacting their own form of revenge—and that they won’t stop until everyone else is dead.

With time running out before the train reaches its destination, Anna is forced to hunt the killer in their midst while protecting the people she hates the most. In order to destroy her enemies, she must first save them—even though it means putting her own life at risk.

Day 1 of #DellTechWorld wrapped, now on to day ✌🏼

Inspiring keynote from Michael and our customers, great convos, lots of coffee, a little work on the go with my Dell AI PC—and so many big ideas.

One of my favorite moments? The session with John Roese and Neil deGrasse Tyson. They talked about embracing discomfort and challenged us to think in ways we’ve never thought before.

You’ve been asking—and I’m finally sharing a peek at some of the design elements for our “casita” addition! It’ll be home to my @sugarrushcharms craft room and a cozy workout space for us. I’m going for earthy, modern vibes that still feel connected to our main home—same outdoor floors, same front lights, and the exterior color we’re planning for the house too. So excited things are moving fast, all thanks to our amazing friends at @ajsremodeling_outdoorliving. More to come soon!

I’ve been meaning to post about this for a while, but here it is—I loved Onyx Storm by @rebeccayarros! Did you finish it yet?? What did you think?!

The unrelenting action, the deeper lore, the higher stakes—it all had me hooked. And while it definitely sets up for more to come, I had such a great time diving back into this world, with these characters (and dragons!) again.

With my @sugarrushcharms business being my 5-to-9, I’m constantly working nights, weekends, anytime and anywhere. My @Dell XPS 13 with Copilot+ has been a game-changer—its on-device AI thanks to #SnapdragonXSeries helps me with everything from product naming and design to marketing and beyond. It’s super lightweight, and the battery lasts through my busiest days, wherever I go. As a super small shop, I’m grateful for every bit of help I can get! The past year has been such an exciting journey, and starting @sugarrushcharms has been a true labor of passion and a reflection of who I am. Seeing each of you love my creations as much as I do brings me so much joy, and I’m so excited for what’s next! ! #IWork4Dell @DellTech @snapdragonofficial

My review of Beautiful Ugly by @alicewriterland is

My review of Beautiful Ugly by @alicewriterland is live!

This dark, twisted thriller brims with secrets, surprises, and a chilling atmosphere. It follows Grady Green, a grief-stricken author whose life is in ruins after his wife’s mysterious disappearance. Sent to a remote Scottish island to reignite his writing, Grady quickly senses something sinister—and it may be tied to his wife’s fate. 👀 😱 Feeney masterfully weaves tension, twists, and unputdownable storytelling. As expected, I loved it!
