target books

The last time I walked into Target's book section, my jaw dropped at how well-organized based on what's trending on BookTokit was. Like, are you kidding this bibliophile? It was like walking into Narnia, except for instead of fauns and Turkish delights, I was met with the TBR list of my dreams.

After scouring the book section, I plunged myself deep into the world of Sarah J. Maas and ACOTAR. I still don't know if I've managed to catch my breath from Feyre and Tamlin's adventures, but I'm admittedly not ready to stop there. So naturally, I want more of what trending books Target has to offer on my next trip.

Feeling similarly? Here are 20 trending books you can find at Target IRL or online right now!

Romantasy Target Books

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

Feyre often wishes her life could be different, but she doesn't think anything will come of it until the night a terrible beast demands repayment for a wolf's life she took. When she wakes up to see that she's in the very magical world she's heard stories about, she realizes the 'beast' is actually a high-ranking faerie named Tamlin.

They're both moody most of the time, but it's not until Feyre begins to understand more about his world that she begins to soften. In turn, Tamlin's growing feelings for her speaks leaps and bounds. However, there's something evil growing in the woods and it is ready to devour all that feels right in every world.

It'll be up to Feyre to help stop it.

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

Violet Sorrengail may be the daughter of the commanding general at Basgiath War College, but that doesn't make people respect her. It's actually one of the main things that puts a target on her back as she trains to become a dragon rider. The other is the fact she's incredibly fragile which leads people to underestimate her at every turn.

However, no one expects her to bond to one of the most powerful dragons whose mate happens to be bonded to the one person who has a vendetta against her — Xaden Riorson. Initially unsure of how she's going to survive, Violet begins to trust her dragon's instincts as well as her own. What she'll find is that some enemies are much closer than she initially thought.

The Serpent & The Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent

Oraya's adoptive father is the Nightborn vampire king, but that's something that's still not enough to protect her. So, she decides to enter a deadly tournament called the Kejari to solidify her presence in the world she inhabits.

Knowing that she'll more than likely be outwitted, Oraya turns to the one person she probably shouldn't form an uneasy truce with — Raihn. He's considered to be her father's enemy and he's not exactly the sweetest guy out there. But, the two can't fight how wildly their hearts beat for each other.

Unfortunately, this may be their undoing because there's no room for falling in love when surviving is on the line.

A River of Golden Bones by A.K. Mulford

Calla and Briar are not only twins, but they're also wolves and that's kept a secret for several reasons. However, this doesn't stop them from having a path to follow. The only thing about this is that Calla lives in Briar's shadows. The only person who is able to see her for who she is happens to be Prince Grae — the same prince Briar is getting married to.

As soon as the twins decide to stop hiding long enough for Briar to get married, a ruthless sorceress swoops in to finish what she started long ago. This forces Calla to do the one thing she's grown used to — stop hiding in the shadows to make a true difference.

Sword Catcher by Cassandra Clare

Castellane is home to the elite and those who have a criminalistic nature, but both are motivated by the thrill of money as well as power. Though Kel has grown up alongside Prince Conor Aurelian, he knows his life is only valuable because he's a Sword Catcher. This means it is he who will sacrifice his life in place of Conor if it comes to that.

When Lin Caster, a physician, seeks help for her best friend, she and Kel become acquainted with each other. This puts them directly in the path of the Ragpicker King, someone who rules the underworld. The more they begin to learn about Castellane, the more they realize just how much corruption is rampant all around them.

It'll take more than hope to avoid the snares hidden throughout Castellane.

Hooked by Emily McIntire

James finds the perfect plan for destroying his enemy Peter Michaels — get close to his daughter to find out as much as he can. All goes well until it is one of James' own that commits a grave offense. The problem is that he doesn't know who has committed the betrayal. On top of that, his growing affinity for Wendy (Peter's daughter) makes things complicated. It's not like Wendy's resisting him though. She's as smitten with him as he is with her, but she can't seem to separate him from his dangerous alter ego, Hook.

This creates a murky situation that'll have huge consequences no matter if James succeeds in harming Peter Michaels or not.

The Twisted Crowns by Rachel Gillig

The only thing that can save them is the Nightmare who occupies Elspeth's mind, but even he is growing tired of their search.

Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett

Emily Wilde, a Cambridge professor, is the one person you'd go to if you were looking to learn about faeries. She's a skilled scholar and researcher who's set on producing an encyclopedia that contains everything about them. But, Emily is not the most charismatic person.

She finds this creates difficulty for her when she travels to Hrafnsvik to gather more information and she even runs into her rival Wendell Bambleby. He's everything she's not in terms of having social graces and he somehow manages to disorient the work she's doing.

Lessons In Chemisty by Bonnie Garmus

Elizabeth is a talented Chemist who doesn't abide by the limitations placed on women in the 60s. She's incredibly intelligent and confident, two things that seem to intimidate those she comes in contact with at Hastings Research Institute. The only person who doesn't seem bothered by this is Calvin Evans, an equally intelligent chemist who respects her brilliance.

Their love story is beautiful and Elizabeth finds that she actually doesn't mind settling into domestic life with him, but it suddenly ends when Calvin's life is tragically cut short (still over this TBH). To make matters worse, Elizabeth had no idea she was pregnant at the time of his death and is suddenly thrust into an uneasy world where she not only loses her job, but also has to figure out how to raise a child alone.

A chance encounter with the father of one of her daughter's classmates results in Elizabeth blending cooking with science and her own inspirational advice to women — the Supper at Six show. The more she appears on women's TV screens, the more she inspires more women to stand up for themselves in their lives and go after their heart's desires.

This gives way to more gruntled feelings and another chance encounter that sheds light on a part of Calvin's past that even he would've been shocked to know about.

Knowing your hair type is one of the most valuable and beneficial things to your hair health — especially when it comes to the porosity of your hair. Hair porosity means the level at which your hair absorbs moisture or water, and it's categorized as low, medium, or high. Sometimes, low porosity hair — which is slower to absorb water — can keep you from getting the proper hydration to keep your hair looking and feeling healthy.

Dr. Ross Kopelman, hair transplant surgeon, explained, "Low porosity hair has tightly closed cuticles that make it difficult for moisture to penetrate the hair shaft. This can lead to dryness and product buildup, as products tend to sit on the hair rather than being absorbed." He also mentioned that this can lead to breakage and tangling since your hair is having a hard time retaining moisture.

Luckily, there's a way to help low porosity hair maintain its health, get rid of excess buildup, and retain moisture through specific products like shampoos and masks. I talked to experts Clyde Haygood (celebrity hairstylist), Dr. Ross Kopelman(hair surgeon and expert), and Kseniya Popova (lead chemist and head of R&D for The Rootist) to get all their product recommendations for the best low porosity hair products to try right now!

Amazon

SheaMoisture Hair Mask

Dr. Ross Kopelman recommended this hair mask from SheaMoisture, noting that it will help heal your hair cuticles and allow products to more deeply penetrate the hair. This is exactly what we're looking for, since with low porosity hair, products have a hard time reaching your hair cuticles and fully absorbing. This will also help any breakage you might've gotten given your hair type!

Amazon

Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave-In Conditioner

This was another great leave-in recommended by Dr. Kopelman to help repair breakage and attract moisture. He says that it has glycerin and honey which both help your low porosity hair to really retain the moisture in a light, non-greasy way.

Amazon

The Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo

If you're needing a bit of a deeper cleanse but have very sensitive hair, then this recommendation from Dr. Kopelman might be just what you're looking for! He let us know that this shampoo is thorough and effective, yet still gentle for any sensitive hair-types! According to his solid advice, you only need to use it once a month to remove any buildup that might be preventing your hair from being able to fully absorb moisture!

Amazon

The Rootist AHA Pre-Shampoo

Lead Chemist and Head of R&D for The Rootist, Kseniya Popova, says that this pre-shampoo is great for the low porosity hair gals! She gave us great insight by saying, "This pre-shampoo treatment is fantastic for those with low porosity who want to target product build-up and excess oil. The alpha hydroxy acids glycolic acid and lactic acid and apple cider vinegar help to gently exfoliate without stripping natural, healthy oils that need to coat the hair."

The Rootist

BioBrew Fermented Strengthening Serum

Kseniya Popova also told us about this great strengthening serum from her company, The Rootist! She says that it is a great serum that has super nourishing ingredients like moringa oil, along with vitamin C that help to condition cuticles and boost hydration. And bonus! They added a heat-protecting active, for up to 450 degrees, that is super beneficial to low porosity hair when using hot tools like curling irons and hair dryers.

The Rootist

Strengthen Concentrated Shampoo and Conditioner

Kseniya also recommended this amazing shampoo and conditioner duo from her company that she says is great for low porosity hair. She explained that they help to cleanse the roots, scalp, and hair without causing damage or stripping moisture — exactly what you need for cleansing low porosity hair without stripping away all the natural oils and moisture excessively. Kseniya said, "It is necessary to strengthen low porosity hair fibers because they are prone to brittleness and breakage. The Strengthen Concentrated Shampoo contains yuzu ceramides and hydrolyzed proteins that will help to strengthen the hair fibers of low porosity hair. And the Strengthen Concentrated Conditioner contains coating emollients, such as coconut oil, acai oil, rice brand and passion fruit oils that lock in necessary moisture" This means that you'll really be able to lock in moisture, down to the root!

Amazon

Pura D'or Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoo

We got a great recommendation from celebrity hairstylist, Clyde Haygood, when it comes to drier low porosity hair. He says this shampoo will be great because it infuses biotin, keratin and caffeine to boost hair health and shine in a lightweight formula. This mean it won't be too heavy or greasy, but still helping to retain moisture.

Amazon

Pura D'or Hair Thinning Therapy

Dealing with hair thinningand low porosity? Well, hair expert Clyde Haygood has just the thing for you. He said this mask is one of his favorite products for how it hydrates the hair, targeting both hair thinning and low porosity. He also added, " Using a hair mask once a week is also a great way to strengthen strands and protect hair from heat styling damage. I also love that it’s free from harsh chemicals, hypo-allergenic, vegan and cruelty free which is ideal for all hair types." Sounds like just what we're looking for!

It’s been 24 years (!!) since Gilmore Girls first premiered on TV, and obviously a lot has changed since then. Not just in the world, either — if you’ve been with the show since the beginning, that means you’ve gained more than two decades of personal experience and perspective in life since watching Lorelai and Rory sit in Luke's Diner. NBD.

Re-watching classic episodes, we’ve noticed that adult perspective really does have an effect on how you see the show. We've been feeling reflective, and couldn’t help but think about how all this life wisdom makes Gilmore Girls even better all these years later.

How A 'Gilmore Girls' Adult Rewatch Impacts You

Netflix

1. Um, the coffee addiction is too real. Let’s just get this one out of the way — what we thought was a fun social hobby when we were younger has turned out to be necessary for functioning day to day in the world. Gilmores, we’ll never doubt you again. Sorry, Luke.

Saeed Adyani/Netflix

2. You get even MORE of the references. One of the best parts of GG has always been its rapid-fire use of pop culture references in the dialogue. While at one time it was fun to be like “same!” when Lane NEEDED to have the new Belle and Sebastian single, adult us is like “same!” when Lorelai calculates money purely to see how many pairs of Jimmy Choos she can buy.

Saeed Adyani/Netflix

3.Lorelai’s independence. And speaking of Lorelai being the buyer of her own designer shoes with her own hard-earned money, we’ve gotta say that watching Lorelai absolutely slay at being a business owner and mother and friend (and just generally be amazing at life) as an adult versus a teenager is a WHOLE OTHER kind of inspiring.

Saeed Adyani/Netflix

4. You care way less about Rory’s BFs and are instead SO inspired by how smart and hard working she is. Of course we’re totally guilty of obsessing over WHO exactly Rory will end up with. And it’s not that we haven’t always looked up to Rory for her smarts. But having school years and first jobs and growing pains of early adulthood under your belt makes you appreciate her hard work just a little bit more.

Saeed Adyani/Netflix

5. You can relate a little more to Emily Gilmore. Controversial! Emily certainly didn’t make things easy for Lorelai, and her upper-class snobbery was never really all that relatable. But she was also fierce & funny, and took absolutely no crap from anyone. And we love it.

Saeed Adyani/Netflix

6. Stars Hollow is literally life goals. The Gilmores’ tiny town was always beautiful and charming, but your bigger city sights probably blinded you to the IRL magic of it. Now, we all just wanna get away to somewhere so Instagrammable.

Saeed Adyani/Netflix

7. You appreciate the magic of it in a whole new way. Simply put: The Gilmore Girls are one of a kind, and we’re lucky to have them.

How have you found your perception of Gilmore Girls has changed since becoming an adult? Let us know over @BritandCo!

This post has been updated.

30 years after "Run, Forrest, run!" entered the cultural consciousness, we're getting an unofficial Forrest Gump reunion! Robin Wright and Tom Hanks' new film, titled Here, brings the actors together with Forrest Gump director Robert Zemeckis. The movie is a sweeping look at life across hundreds of years, anchored in the same cozy living room. And if we're already emotional just from watching the trailer, we'll definitely need to bring tissues to the theater! Here's everything you need to know about the movie.

What is the new movie Here about?

CTMG/Sony Pictures

Based on the graphic novel by Richard McGuire, Here follows the story of multiple families across time, and explores the places — and homes — they inhabit. "The story travels through generations, capturing the most relatable of human experiences," according to an official synopsis of the movie, which is "a tale of love, loss, laughter and life, all of which happen right Here."

When is Here coming out?

CTMG/Sony Pictures

Here comes to movie theaters on November 15, 2024. With so much emphasis on family and home, this is going to be the perfect pre-holiday movie to watch with the people you love the most. Check out the rest of this year's Fall Movies to see what else is coming this year!

Who's in the cast of Here?

CTMG/Sony Pictures

Here stars Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Paul Bettany, Kelly Reilly, and Michelle Dockery.

Where is Here filmed?

CTMG/Sony Pictures

Here began filming at the end of 2022 in London, and director Robert Zemeckis revealed the camera stays in exactly the same place throughout the entire movie. “The single perspective never changes, but everything around it does,” he tells Vanity Fair. “It’s actually never been done before."

Check out the other 2024 movies coming out this year — and let us know your favorite Robin Wright & Tom Hanks movies on Facebook!

With bills to pay, project deadlines and a growing to-do list, it can be hard to keep your house in order. But research shows that cluttered environments are tied to higher levels of stress. Luckily, there are simple ways to make your home feel more zen without a ton of effort. From stylish ways to clear clutter to embracing organic materials, check out these 15 mindful decorating tips for creating a space where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Purge Once. Edit Often.

Photo by Charlotte May

There’s a reason why Marie Kondo's KonMari method was such a huge hit — because it works. To create a mindful space, you need to master the magic of tidying. Surround yourself with things that you love and get rid of non-essentials that are cluttering your space. The result: a cozy, comfortable home you love.

Focus On Negative Space With Low Furniture

CB2

If something about one of your minimalistic rooms feels off or cramped, you might need to focus on the proportions of your furniture. Tables, a sofa or a bed that are just a few inches too high can greatly disrupt a room’s visual flow. The design trick: Buy low furniture like this gorgeous CB2 Cantar Ivory Velvet Upholstered Bedfor a cozy and simple look.

Stick With A Neutral Or Soft Color Palette

Dacotah Studio

When decorating a minimalist interior, it’s all about creating a clean base. Clean light walls can open up a space and make it feel airy, like this stunning kitchen by LA-based Dacotah Studio(see our full feature here). Soft, nature-toned pieces in beige, tan and green are also soothing and easy on the eyes. Decorating within a neutral color palette also gives your home that instant, pulled-together look. That plus calming vibes? It’s a win-win.

Add Minimal Texture

Design: Urbanology Designs | Photo: Matti Gresham

To keep a room from feeling cold or bland, add texture. Shop for soft throws, throw a sheepskin over your desk chair and lay down a fluffy wool rug. Your space will look put-together and cozier than ever.

Get Rid Of Most Mirrors

Joshua Smith Design | Photo: Lance Gerber

In feng shui, mirrors are said to bounce off energy, which can cause you to feel restless. There have even been studies that show mirrors could trigger stress and anxiety. While we love how a mirror can make a space look larger, it’s probably best to remove them from your bedroom, living room and kitchen. Instead place mirrors behind closet doors or limit them to the bathroom.

Choose Natural Materials

Design: Urbanology Designs | Photo: Mike Davello

While minimalism is all about perfecting the “less is more” approach, there’s a chance your interiors might feel cold and sterile. Invest in pieces of natural or raw materials such as wood, marble, hides, clay and cork. The uniqueness of earthy materials adds character and warmth to your abode.

Embrace Natural Light

Photo + Design: Klein Agency

A simple mindfulness exercise is to wake up when it’s light out and sleep when it’s dark out to maintain a healthy sleep rhythm. Get rid of curtains and tear down walls that block windows to maximize the amount of light that comes in. Letting natural light fill your home brings the outside in and allows you to get the best rest possible.

Let Your Space Speak For Itself

Photo by Gül Işık

There are so many ways to decorate a home, but before you begin drilling and filling up the shelves, really take time to understand and appreciate your space. Whether your home has traditional molding, modern kitchen cabinets or a quirky layout, your home’s bones are the foundation for building upon. You might find that many of your physical possessions don’t complement your space. Work with what you have (and not against it) to create a home that is unified.

Keep Surfaces Clear And Tidy

Design: Arterberry Cooke

This is where being mindful isn’t just about aesthetics. De-cluttering a messy surface looks amazing and feels amazing too — think of it as a mind and spirit detox. Clear and tidy desks, tables and kitchen countertops on a daily basis so you can start every day fresh with clarity.

Use Stylish Storage

Design: Bungalowe | Photo by Gavin Cater

We know. It’s hard to get rid of all of your clutter. Paper, art supplies, makeup brushes, laundry — the list of stuff that accumulates (and you can’t always get rid of) goes on. Consider getting rid of trash cans entirely in rooms that don’t absolutely need them. Or, use pull-out and built-in garbage and recycling bins to free up floor space. Keep office and cleaning supplies organized with pretty baskets and containers, and find creative ways to store your hair and beauty products. With so much stuff, stylish storage is key to making your home organized and tidy. We love how LA-based design team Bungalowe created custom storage with shelving in this bedroom (see the full feature here).

Keep Cords Out Of Sight

Photo + Design: Klein Agency

To make your home (and mind) feel clear, hide everyday eyesores like power strips, routers and laptop chargers by thinking vertically. Manage your electrical cords by purchasing desks with shelves for power strips, attach cords to the back or bottom of your desk with these Blue Key World Cable Clips ($7) or create a charging station drawer. There are so many ways to hide cords, and you can get as creative as you like!

Set The Tone With Soft Lighting

CB2

In addition to installing dimmer switches to set a relaxing mood, task lighting (your table and floor lamps) should be warm and atmospheric. Layer the light with wall sconces like CB2's lovely and affordable Astr White Onyx Wall Sconce and some candles, and your space will feel extra intimate and cozy.

Make Your Bed Every Morning

Design: Arterberry Cooke

As tempting as it is to rush out the door in the morning, leaving your bed unkempt can set the tone for the day. Making your bed forces you to slow down and set a healthy pace for the day. For more style, splurge on beautiful linen sheets that’ll motivate you to tidy your bed every morning.

Treat Yourself To Quality Towels

Piglet In Bed

Consistency in fabrics like your sheets and towels can make a room look instantly pulled together. Refresh your bathroom with 100% cotton, OEKO-TEX-certified towels like these striped ones from Sand Shell Pembroke Stripe Cotton Towels from Piglet In Bed that have a cool vintage vibe.

Let The Outdoors In With Florals And Plants

Photo by Ksenia Chernaya

With clean, minimalist style, it’s even more important to bring a little bit of life into your space. Think of caring for a plant as a daily exercise in mindfulness. Bonus: Florals and plants instantly create an inviting atmosphere too.
