From Nantucket weddings and Maine beach houses to Hamptons mansions and New York summers, these books capture everything I love about a coastal Northeast summer. If you’re craving seafood, salty air, family drama, and charming seaside towns, this list is for you.

Recent Book-to-Film Adaptations I Actually Liked
I don’t even watch movies…which makes it all the more surprising that these recent book-to-screen adaptations completely won me over. If you’re wondering which ones are actually worth watching, I’ve got a few recommendations.
Hello and Welcome (Back)!
Hi, I’m Delaney—a long-time reader, first-time author, and enthusiastic recommender of books that will probably take over your life. Welcome (back) to Sequels & Scribbles, where we’ll be talking books, writing, and everything in between.
My Favorite Audiobooks
On a more positive note from my last post (sometimes, we just need to let the rage out, you know?), I wanted to chat about my favorite audiobooks today! Audiobooks have really been having their moment recently, mostly because they enable us to consume content (a story) and entertain ourselves while doing something like runningContinue reading “My Favorite Audiobooks”
My Least Favorite Literary Characters
In some books, there are characters that make me so utterly infuriated that I want to scream every time their name appears on the page. Half of the time, they’re not even villainous characters, just ones who repulse me on a fundamental level because of their personalities. Much like our lord and savior, Mr. FitzwilliamContinue reading “My Least Favorite Literary Characters”

I’m obsessed with my library card, and I’m proud of it. I keep a copy on my key ring at all times and the main card in my bedside table. The Libby app is one of my favorites. I’ve been known to gasp with joy when one of my requested eBooks comes off hold atContinue reading “You Should Get a Library Card”

It snowed this week in Texas (just a light dusting, but again, this is Texas), so it’s officially winter! Whether you live in a place where snow and ice are the norm or in an area where you’re lucky if the temperature dips below 60º in January, there’s nothing quite like getting cozy with aContinue reading “It’s Winter! What Should You Read?”
My Favorite Books: Fantasy Edition
If a fantasy book or series is published, I will read it. I was the kid who was obsessed with fairies and anything magical, and ever since then, I’ve inhaled fantasy books at an alarming rate. For obvious reasons, I’m a fantasy writer as well. Hey, you can take the girl out of the magic,Continue reading “My Favorite Books: Fantasy Edition”
My Top 8 Reads of 2024
Last year, I read 195 books. Frankly, that’s an excessive amount. Some were total misses (we’ll circle back to these in another post), and some were absolute rock stars that I’m still thinking about months later. To start 2025 on a high note, I’m going to reflect on my favorite books I read in 2024—nay,Continue reading “My Top 8 Reads of 2024”
