OKAY, okay … confession. This isn’t really a Styled By Books post. Not in the way I typically define “Styled By Books,” which I sort of view as a book-ish twist on the concept of Disneybounding. That is, dressing in an outfit of everyday clothes that is inspired by and reflects the colors/look/feel of a […]
Let me show you a whole new world today, with a Styled By Books inspired by Aladdin: Far From Agrabah by Aisha Saeed, a spin-off novel inspired by the new live-action adaptation of Disney’s “Aladdin,” in theaters today. I’ve always said that Styled By Books was largely inspired by Disneybounding — the idea of putting […]
We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal, one of my favorite books of 2019, comes out just THREE WEEKS from today & to celebrate, I’m giving it the Styled By Books treatment. One of my favorite ways to start any Styled By Books outfit is with a solid staple item that draws on the dominant […]

This book is a BIG MOOD for me (and […]
Erin Morgenstern has a new book coming out later this year, making it the perfect time to revist her lush and magical 2011 novel, The Night Circus. I absolutely loved this book (and am very much overdue for a re-read one of these days), and the aesthetics of both the cover itself and Morgenstern’s descriptions […]
Two things immediately caught my eye when I was first asked about being part of today’s blog tour for The Brilliant Death by Amy Rose Capetta. Well, three things: 1) I’m a fan of Amy’s work, so … duh! 2) Italian-inspired story that’s giving me mafia-esque vibes 3) That gorgeous cover & knowing I had […]
We’re going from ancient Alexandria into deep space for today’s edition of Styled by Books, featuring The Tomb by S.A. Bodeen, a cool new sci fi novel with a fascinating premise. The book follows a teen who thought she was living in ancient Alexandria — until she learns it was all a lie, and she’s […]
