The other day, we saw a trailer for The Idea Of You, which is based on the book. It got us thinking about the books we'd love to see turned into movies. Here are some of the many on our list, including rom-coms, historical fiction, fantasy, and a thriller or two.  Even though we're believers that the book is (almost) always better, we still can't resist a good movie adaptation of our favorite reads. What about you? What books would you be most excited to see as a movie?  Magnolia Parks Who else is obsessed with Magnolia Parks? If you haven't read i ..read more

Tucked in a quiet and cozy corner of Phoenix, the Page Petal office is our home away from home. It's where we make each flower-pressed bookmark by hand, package them individually with love, and laugh at ourselves as we make TikTok videos.

We will always have a special place in our hearts for those days, but it feels really good to dedicate a new space to all things Page Petal. Keep scrolling to see a peek at our office, featuring our mini library and the TV show we can't stop watching. We're so excited to grow this s ..read more

What should I say? Chances are this is a question we've all found ourselves asking at one point. If you have friends dealing with loss, loved ones going through ruts, and neighbors fighting illnesses, there are so many times when words feel empty. Even though there's often nothing to say to make things better or change a situation, small acts of love show you care. Below are ten books that feel like hugs for the soul. Some are funny, others are more serious, and all of them are beautifully written. We hope you find something on this list that helps you s ..read more
