Apparently I'm feeling a little salty at everyone jumping on this "new" trend of books as outfits ... I've been doing #StyledByBooks for a few years now.

So, let's look back at all of my past outfits/posts. (Being super preggo is keeping more from taking new photos right now):

My first-ever #StyledByBooks post featured the hilarious adult vampire rom-com BITE SOMEBODY by @saradobie --> https://novelnovice.com/2016/04/11/bite-somebody-sara-dobie-bauer-cover-match/

Next, I styled a modern pirate-y look inspired by DAUGHTER OF THE PIRATE KING by @TriciaLevensell --> https://novelnovice.com/2017/02/24/daughter-pirate-king-styled-books/

I LOVED doing this #StyledByBooks photo shoot for STRANGE THE DREAMER by @lainitaylor at a local park, despite some of the weird looks we got --> https://novelnovice.com/2017/03/08/strange-dreamer-styled-books/

This was the first of a couple HARRY POTTER-inspired outfits I've done for #StyledByBooks over the last few years: https://novelnovice.com/2017/05/13/harry-potter-styled-books/

I think my outfit for FLAME IN THE MIST by @rahdieh was the first time I did #StyledByBooks for a blog tour, but certainly not the last --> https://novelnovice.com/2017/05/26/flame-mist-styled-books-blog-tour-contest/

I think this was the first time an author expressed a desire to see their book(s) get the #StyledByBooks treatment, and for @ColleenOakes_ & her RED QUEEN series, I was happy to oblige: https://novelnovice.com/2017/06/22/queen-hearts-blood-wonderland-styled-books/

My space dress was an easy #StyledByBooks match for @RominaRussell's ZODIAC series --> https://novelnovice.com/2017/07/11/zodiac-series-styled-books-blog-tour-contest/

My husband (who is usually my #StyledByBooks photographer) got weirdly invested in accessorizing my outfit for this look inspired by ROAR by @CoraCarmack --> https://novelnovice.com/2017/07/27/roar-cora-carmack-styled-books/

A trip to the beach was conveniently timed for this #StyledByBooks shoot inspired by A MAP FOR WRECKED GIRLS by @JessicaTaylorYA --> https://novelnovice.com/2017/08/07/map-wrecked-girls-styled-books-blog-tour-contest/

By this time, most of my #StyledByBooks photos were for new or upcoming releases, but I had fun revisiting a book that came out a few years earlier for this look inspired by THE WINNER'S CRIME by @marierutkoski --> https://novelnovice.com/2017/08/15/winners-crime-styled-books/

My next Harry Potter #StyledByBooks look was all about back-to-school style & showing off my Gryffindor pride --> https://novelnovice.com/2017/09/01/hogwarts-house-styled-books-back-school-edition/

This was the first time I got a little cosplay-ish for a #StyledByBooks outfit, but how could I resist for ALL'S FAIRE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL by @JamiesonV --> https://novelnovice.com/2017/09/12/alls-faire-middle-school-styled-books-blog-tour/

I *love* the star-print maxi dress I wore for this #StyledByBooks outfit inspired by the ACOTAR series by @SJMaas, but this was another local park photo shoot that drew some weird looks --> https://novelnovice.com/2017/09/18/acotar-series-styled-books/

The look inspired by THE WICKER KING by K. Ancrum was an example of simplicity in #StyledByBooks --> https://novelnovice.com/2017/10/23/wicker-king-styled-books/

A lot of my #StyledByBooks photos are just taken in my yard, but for RENEGADES by @marissa_meyer we found a cool urban spot overlooking downtown Portland --> https://novelnovice.com/2017/11/03/renegades-marissa-meyer-styled-books/

Have @cassieclare #Shadowhunters temporary tattoos? Will take a #StyledByBooks photo shoot --> https://novelnovice.com/2017/12/01/shadowhunters-styled-books/

The #StyledByBooks outfit for THUNDERHEAD by @NealShusterman was simple, but remains one of my favorites --> https://novelnovice.com/2018/01/15/thunderhead-styled-books-giveaway/

Sometimes I sew! I made the skirt I wore in my #StyledByBooks outfit for TO KILL A KINGDOM by @alliechristo --> https://novelnovice.com/2018/03/03/kill-kingdom-styled-books/

And sometimes I just busted out a super extra evening gown for #StyledByBooks, as was the case for THE WICKED DEEP by @SheaErnshaw --> https://novelnovice.com/2018/03/26/the-wicked-deep-styled-by-books/

A local rose garden played backdrop to the #StyledByBooks photo shoot for SMOKE IN THE SUN by @rahdieh --> https://novelnovice.com/2018/06/07/smoke-in-the-sun-styled-by-books/

The #StyledByBooks post for MY PLAIN JANE by @CynthiaHand @Brodiashton & @jodimeadows showed that even casual wear can help you match your outfit to a book cover --> https://novelnovice.com/2018/06/28/my-plain-jane-styled-by-books-blog-tour-contest/

I went semi-cosplay-ish again for the SEAFIRE by @nataliecparker #StyledByBooks (featuring the original HC cover, although I think this would still work for the new PB cover) --> https://novelnovice.com/2018/09/04/seafire-styled-by-books/

Apparently I really like space/celestial-print dresses, because I think this is the third *different* one featured in a #StyledByBooks outfit, this time for THE TOMB by @sabodeen --> https://novelnovice.com/2018/09/13/the-tomb-by-s-a-bodeen-styled-by-books/

I loved the colors of the original cover for THE BRILLIANT DEATH by @AmyRoseCapetta & couldn't resist this #StyledByBooks ensemble --> https://novelnovice.com/2018/11/02/the-brilliant-death-styled-by-books/
