Romance the Every Day

What a beautiful and charming book!! I’m already a big believer in romanticizing your life, so this book was just perfection for me. I love the idea of slowing down, incorporating romance, and finding the joy and beauty in the every day. There were tons of ideas, and the watercolor illustrations were sweet and whimsical. Loved it!

This is a lovely coffee table / novelty book for the independent woman in your life. It would be a great galentine's gift or housewarming gift.

Beautiful watercolor pages throughout and then a celebration of living life with what the author terms romance—imagine Audrey Hepburn, Taylor Swift in her "Begin Again" video, or cozy village romance novels. Rose colored glasses, hygge year round, if you will. Anthropologie & Paris vibes.

It’s a good idea. The explanations are cute and they do put a good spin on things that I wouldn’t have given a second thought to.

This book was so nice and cozy and magical. I loved how it was divided into bite-sized ideas of different ways to romanticize the every day and how it covered so many different areas of life. The illustrations were beautiful and charming and the perfect pairing for this book. It will make such a nice, beautiful book to gift to loved ones.

Absolutely adorable. I throughly enjoyed reading through this book and taking in the beautiful artwork.
The author has done such a great job of describing all the senses in details.
I could smell the cake, feel the sun on my skin, taste the flaky pastries…
This book is a reminder that there is romance in every day things. If we can’t find the romance, we can create our own romantic experiences.

Short and lovely ready.

I have always loved the idea of romanticizing the sometimes-mundane moments in life. In ‘Romance the Every Day’, Andrea Kasprzak provides 52 different ways to turn everyday moments into something more magical. What a fun idea for a book! I loved that she really emphasized how subtle and simple romance can be, and how important it is to find romance in things when the news, social media, and everything else can be so full of fear and hopelessness. I found myself audibly saying “yes!” and “love that!” throughout almost the entirety of the introduction. There were so many sentences I wanted to highlight or underline.

As someone who is (or at least feels like she is) still a relatively new mom, so much of my life feels like it’s running from one thing to the next. There are days when it feels like I have no time to take a deep breath, let alone find the magic in the moment. This book was a wonderful reminder to make time for even just a few seconds to pause, readjust, and take in the quiet beauty of whatever I’m doing.

The artwork in this was also so charming! I can see this being the perfect little coffee table book or an addition to a gift basket for a new home. I know that I’ll be taking several of the recommendations from this to heart.

A hopeful manifestation for a romanticized life of little moments. Taking every page of this book and making it a list to live by!

The layout and font selection was beautiful.

I enjoyed that most of the ideas in this book were either relatively cheap or free, because the barrier to access for pleasant activities can be really difficult to navigate. Also the artwork was super cute!

This is adorable. Everyone could romanticize their days a little bit more. This could be the perfect gift for just about anyone! It’s a reminder to slow down and enjoy your days!
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this arc ebook in exchange for an honest review.

I adored this book! Such a fun list of different ideas to make the mundane days of life special. I enjoyed every minute of it and will be putting many of the ideas into practice.

When a friend of mine was going through an especially rough patch, I told her that I thought she needed to reintroduce joy into her life. (In the moment, for this particular person, the advice made sense.)

This book would have been the perfect accompaniment to that advice. Gorgeous illustrations and practical advice on falling in love with the day to day in your life.

Thanks to NetGalley - the author- and the publisher for the arc/and the opportunity ro review.

I love the idea of this but at first I didn't get it. Once I understood it, I fell in love. This is such a fantastic book that anyone could benefit from!
You can improve your life experience by taking trying out the things here, and you won't need to spend money. It's about taking advantage of the life you already have.
Head up to the roof for a different perspective! Head to the library or a used bookstore. Read a picture book for a different perspective. A whole book full of these perfect little ways to get the most out of life.
The pictures have soft lines and colors, helping create the mood.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

Pros: I loved this book's mission of adding joy (and a little luxury) into the ordinary. I especially appreciated that the ideas in this book are actually doable . . . and are luxurious without being expensive. This book celebrates some of my favorite things--jammies, libraries, bubble baths, swings--and reminds me to take the time to appreciate and enjoy those little things.

Cons: None that I can think of!

Thank you to NetGalley and Chronicle Books for the opportunity to read this book.

What a cozy and beautifully written (and illustrated) book! I really want a physical copy to be able to reference on the days when I feel like life has been lacking a bit of romance, so I can incorporate some of these practices into my life.

What a beautiful little read! Kasprzak eloquently details 52 practical ideas to make your life more romantic, from pajamas to rooftops. The illustrations are whimsical and relaxing. I’m hoping for a Part 2 to continue learning how to make my life more romantic.

This book is adorable! I looked over it & did the first week suggestion of “romancing” my life. It felt so good! I cannot wait to see how my life looks & I feel about it a year from now. The illustrations a nice & made looking through the book really enjoyable. The author’s writing style is beautiful & romanced the topic of self care.

I expected many things starting this book.

I expected fun suggestions. I expected some pretty illustrations. What I certainly did not expect was the beautiful writing that came along, a writing that made the experience of reading this romantic in itself! The authors mentions to her own personal life and her friends certainly helped her feel closer to the reader making the book more intimate which worked extremely well for me!

The suggestions in this are so many, can be applied in so many different ways, with or without company, and with no need of a high budget, the author makes a clear point of how easy it is to romantize your life no matter the circumstances!

Absolutely stellar!

This book was such a delight! This is definitely a book that I want to purchase a physical copy of so that I can read it again and again. I absolutely love the concept of this book, and unsurprisingly, reading this just made me feel so happy and excited to incorporate these small practices into everyday life. Thank you to NetGalley and Chronicle books for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was so cozy. It's the perfect book to curl up with a cup of hot cocoa in bed or in the bath and take in all the beautiful and cute images and ideas to make life a little more special.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the ARC!

This is a great book for those feeling burnt out and wanting to connect back with themselves and the world around them. It features recommendations of ways to revel in the little things and slow down to appreciate beauty. The author has a short write up with every recommendation which I appreciated. It’s a love letter to being human and living life. If you are wanting to romanticize your life but are overwhelmed on where to even start, this is the book for you.

Romance the Every Day, by Andrea Kasprzak, is a lovely book I enjoyed paging through. The illustrations were beautiful and the suggestions for ways to add romance into your life were thoughtful and would be easy to implement. Highly recommend.

okay, i love the little drawings/paintings within this book to go along with the tips. I feel like this book is perfect for someone looking to add a little more romance into their life. I wish I had a significant other because I would totally go down like a list (which is why I like the beginning table of contents section that looks like a check sheet). I really like this cute little book, I think the cover could be a little more enticing to the reader.

I absolutely love this concept of self-care. Who doesn't want some romance in their lives? And who better to give us that romance than ourselves! I very much enjoyed all the ideas of things to do and ways to find a little bit of romance every day. I loved the artwork! This book would make an amazing gift.
Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this ARC!

Romance the every day

Defining romance as loving the moment, not necessarily another person set the stage for me to think differently about romance. Viewing the concept this way is a combination of mindfulness and self-care, and I love it!

I like it when a book makes me pause and take notes. I noted ideas I would like to try and ways of thinking of things that I would like to adopt.

As each idea of adding romance every day was explored, suggestions were made as to how to implement them, things you could do by yourself or with others. I will definitely be including the author’s advice in my everyday life.

This book was lovely. The artwork was pretty and the suggestions to put some romantic moments in the everyday were fun and pretty easy to include. I believe in romance in relationships but also for single people who desire luxurious moments on a random Tuesday.
