So can we talk about last night?! Because we are STILL. NOT. OVER. IT. 😭✨🌙
The Starfall Maasquerade was everything we dreamed of and SO MUCH MORE. And if last night proved anything, it’s that the bookish community is truly TOP TIER. 🖤
First of all… THE OUTFITS?! ARE YOU KIDDING?! The gowns, the wings, the masks, the SPARKLE. And can we give the men their flowers?! Because the High Lord fashion was NOT playing around. 👏🏻
A HUGE congratulations to Joe, who absolutely understood the assignment as Rhys and was crowned our High Lord of Starfall, alongside his beautiful Feyre! 👑
Now, can we get sentimental for a second? 🥹
From your Bookish Bestie, Shalyn: I spend months dreaming up these events, obsessing over the tiniest details, and imagining what they’ll feel like when everything comes together. But nothing compares to looking around and seeing a room full of people laughing, making friends, celebrating stories they love, and creating memories together.
THAT is why we do this. And we genuinely cannot put into words how much this community means to us.
To our beloved Belladonna Bookshop || Norfolk, MA Indie Bookstore , we LOVE you endlessly. To all of our incredible vendors, thank you for bringing your talents, your magic, and those AMAZING raffle donations! Congratulations to all our lucky winners! 🖤
To Cheffrey, thank you for bringing our fantasy inspired menu to life. To Bianca and our management team, thank you for making all the moving pieces come together. And to our entire Barrett’s staff, who not only worked their butts off but showed up wearing their own sparkle because THEY understood the assignment, too. WE LOVE YOU. ✨
There are a million little things that go into planning a night like this, but the one thing we could never manufacture is the feeling in that room.
That magic? That was all of YOU. 🥹
Thank you for showing up for our crazy ideas, for making every late night and stressful moment worth it, and for reminding us why we love doing this so much.
Until the stars bring us together again. 🖤✨
