Summer Reading Challenge — Week 7 🖤
A day late because ✨life✨ — and because I finished A Sea of Song and Sirens last night.

Now: This Monster of Mine. Shalini Abeysekara | Romantasy Author 🇨🇦

A scarred prosecutor. Revenge. Secrets. A morally gray judge. And THAT dedication page?! 👀

Obviously, I paired it with Mine.
Pomegranate • Wild Rose • Cashmere Musk
For those worth destroying kingdoms for. 🖤

Let’s see what Week 7 does to me.

Apparently my bookish cup is filled with enemies who want to kiss, women who want to burn the world down, morally questionable fantasy men, devastating levels of yearning, and the occasional trip to space.

A balanced literary diet, really. ☕📚

What fills YOUR bookish cup? Pick your top 3 👇

Today mine is: Romantasy + Feminine Rage + Yearning 🖤

And because your TBR has a type … your candles should too. 🕯️

THE GOODS ARE COMING HOME.

My husband is officially headed north with the candles, wax, fragrance oils, supplies… basically the rest of The HoneyBee Dragon.

Meanwhile, I’m attempting to turn this chaos into a functioning candle lab before he gets here.

Maryland era: loading. 🖤✨

Happy Friday, Legends! ☀️📖 We're heading into the weekend with a new recipe to try, a fresh bookshop update, and plenty of reading to catch up on.

The Unicorn Hunters by Katherine Arden is officially in the shop! 🦄 And while you're browsing, you might notice our bookshop got a little glow-up. 👀✨

You can now filter your search by genre, vibe, trope/theme, or even find books that have been featured in past Caffeine & Legends boxes. Basically, finding your next read just got a whole lot easier.

So grab a drink, find a book, and let the weekend reading begin. ☕📖

🧜‍♀️ SUMMER READING CHALLENGE — WEEK 6

I already read Kissed by the Gods last year—and it was one of my favorite reads of 2025...so I'm diving into the backup pick: A Sea of Song and Sirens!

Sirens, betrayal, enemies-to-lovers tension, and a man she pulled from the sea only for him to betray her? Say less.

Moving boxes and all, Week 6 is underway. 📚
