Hi, I’m Yesenia!

I’m just a girl who randomly picked up ACOTAR in 2024 and decided reading needed to become my entire personality.

Somewhere between trying to remember which book came next, hunting down release dates, and keeping track of my never ending TBR, I realized I was already spending an unreasonable amount of time researching all of this for myself.

So I figured… why not share it with the other book girlies?

This is meant to be an easy little corner of the internet where you can quickly find the bookish info you’re looking for and help keep your reading life somewhat organized. Whether you’re checking if a series is completed, what’s coming next, or just trying to meet your new favorite MMC, hopefully you can find what you need here without searching seventeen different places first.

As for me, I’m a millennial mom of three who found reading as something that was just for me.. a little escape I genuinely love and one that keeps me grounded in the middle of everyday life.

I’m an immersive reader, which means audiobook in my ears + physical book in my hands whenever possible.
Maximum emotional damage, maximum efficiency.

And when it comes to romance, give me the yearning. The absolutely pathetic, centuries-long, I have loved every version of you kind of yearning.

My favorite trope will forever be Every Lifetime.
Two souls finding one another again and again, no matter the where, when or how.

Books have given me a lot of fictional people I’m far too emotionally invested in, a community of girls who get it, and have become this bright spot in my life.
I hope Stardust & Spice can be a little bright spot in yours, too

welcome to Stardust & Spice ✦
