Look no further than the seriously fun, funny, deliciously romantic world of Thunder Point, a 9-book series by the same author that brought us all the beloved Virgin River book series that inspired the Netflix show of the same name! I absolutely loved getting lost in all of the happenings inside the tiny coastal Oregon town of Thunder Point, and today I’m breaking down everything you need to know about the lovable book series, including what you’ll find inside the pages, which of the 9 books were my favorite, where you can buy them right now and more!

The Virgin River Book Series Review

We’re taking a slight detour today from fun DIY home decor tutorials, cottage home decor roundups, cottage-cool styling tips and casual outfit ideas for a fresh new topic that I just couldn’t be more excited to talk about – the Virgin River book series by Robyn Carr, which, if you’re not familiar, was just brought to life by way of a very fun Netflix show at the end of 2019. After reading all 20 books in the Virgin River series I’m breaking down everything you need to know if the TV show piqued your interest and you’re now considering a foray into the literary world of Virgin River including how the books are similar to or different from the TV show, what I loved about reading the books, whether or not you need to read all 20 in order to avoid confusion and so much more!

I still can’t believe she’s here and she’s all ours @olcartier ! Theophilia “Tilly” James, may you have your mom’s spunk & your dad’s level head. That should keep you sticking to only the good kinda trouble 😉 Let this be your sign that the baby-in-a-bucket photos are absolutely equal parts ridiculous & adorable & 100% worth the effort it takes to drag everyone out of the house 1 week postpartum 🥰 @taq.photography.llc I love you to the moon for always filling these first months with so much joy! #newbornphotography #babygirl #babyphotography #momlife #cottagestyle

I can’t even believe I’m writing this. I just can’t believe it. We’re still so shocked & sad & just plain, all around devastated. It still kind of doesn’t feel real, but the hard truth is, it is real. And it sucks. Our beloved pup Elvis, the guy who has brought so much love & joy & mischief & laughter into our home & our family for the last 2 years crossed the rainbow bridge this week after a shock cancer diagnoses and an all too quick decline. We never in a million years thought that the pup we brought home 2 years ago, the dog we envisioned growing up with our kids, being a central part of our family dynamic and our memories for years and years to come, would leave us this soon. It’s not fair. He didn’t deserve this. He was always so healthy & so loved & the helplessness, sadness & anger we’ve felt over these last few months as Elvis declined & we got his diagnosis was just beyond brutal. I haven’t really been able to find the meaning in it right now, but what I do know is that we loved him with our whole hearts, and so did everyone else. And I still believe that although loving something, anything this much can be hard & heartbreaking at times, it’s worth it every single time. I’d do it all over again for 2 years with Elvie by my side & so would Chris. He was truly a 1 in a million companion. 🌈

All about this perfect neutral paint color on the blog! Link is in my bio. We gave this dresser in our bedroom a little paint facelift & tried the color “Shiitake” by @sherwinwilliams . And we’re LOVING it! It’s such a beautiful grey-beige & would be so good in so many different spaces. #sherwinwilliamsshiitake #swshiitake #neutralpaintcolor #bedroompaint #cottagestyle #shiitakepaintcolor

Game. Changer. 🥰 This was my first request when we talked about the shower with our builder @hill.farm.design & now that we’re in here, I can confidently say that it was 100% worth it! #bathroomdesign #bathroomremodel #bathroomdecor #bathroomrenovation
