Magic Dark and Strange by Kelly Powell | ARC Review [TOUR]

I almost loved Magic Dark and Strange. As a whole, this book truly wasn’t that bad, but needed a bit more meat on its bones. I was initially intrigued […]

White Ivy by Susie Yang | ARC Review

Here’s the thing: White Ivy is not the kind of book I would normally pick up. When I read the synopsis though, something just grabbed me. This turned out to…

This Is All Your Fault by Aminah Mae Safi | ARC Review

To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini | Audiobook Review

I liked this so much. Really big sci-fi like this is hard for me(I’m smart but like, not THAT smart), it’s never been a genre I really seek out…

Legendborn by Tracy Deonn | ARC Review

Legendborn ended up on my radar a few months ago because 1) it has one of my favorite covers ever, and 2) I’m a sucker for anything Arthurian. So I…

Today is a Good Day, y'all! 🥳 I won't take up Today is a Good Day, y'all! 🥳 I won't take up too much of your time today because there's so much else going on but I DID want to highlight one of this year's releases I can't wait to dive into + offer a chance to win a copy! Sound like a plan? THE RAVENS is by NYT best-selling co-authors Kass Morgan & Danielle Paige that combines a prestigious sorority of witches, sinister magic, and betrayal, all amidst a dark contemporary fantasy setting. So first, WITCHES. Also, give me ALL the college books?! This one is set in Savannah, Georgia at the so-named Westerly College! Grab a copy using the link in my stories! A huge thank you to @hmhteen for sending me a copy (can't wait to read it!!) and partnering with myself and the rest of the tour to give away a copy! GIVEAWAY! ➤ One winner (US only) will receive a copy of THE RAVENS. TO ENTER ➤ Follow me (@novelknight), @hmhteen, @kassmorganbooks, @daniellempaige and @storygramtours ➤ Tag a friend you think will be interested! EXTRA ENTRY ➤ Visit @theladysparks's account tomorrow and repeat these steps! RULES Giveaway ends Nov. 23 at midnight EST. Open to US residents only. Not affiliated with instagram. Must be 18 years old or have parental permission. Account must be public for entry verification. . ABOUT THE BOOK Kappa Rho Nu isn’t your average sorority. Their parties are notorious. Their fundraisers are known for being Westerly College’s most elaborate affairs. But beneath the veil of Greek life and prestige, the sisters of Kappu Rho Nu share a secret: they’re a coven of witches. For Vivi Deveraux, being one of Kappa Rho Nu’s Ravens means getting a chance to redefine herself. For Scarlett Winters, a bonafide Raven and daughter of a legacy Raven, pledge this year means living up to her mother’s impossible expectations of becoming Kappa Rho Nu’s next president. Scarlett knows she’d be the perfect candidate — that is, if she didn’t have one human-sized skeleton in her closet…. When Vivi and Scarlett are paired as big and little for initiation, they find themselves sinking into the sinister world of blood oaths and betrayals. . #TheRavensTour #TheRavens #KassMorgan #daniellempaige #HMHTeen #storygramtours
Happiest of Fridays, book lovers!⁠ ⁠ This week Happiest of Fridays, book lovers!⁠ ⁠ This week has been an emotional roller coaster but the weekend is nearly upon us and, I don't know about you, but I definitely need some R & R time.⁠ ⁠ But with everything going on, I also haven't really been reading so... nothing new for you 😅 but please have another stack of book recommendations in the meantime! Yes, I recommend checking out all of these books, and they're either standalones or first in their respective series so you can dive right in!⁠ ⁠ While I'm sure some of you are tired of election news, I've been watching live streams during most waking hours the last few days and feeling tentatively optimistic with how the counts have gone today (because THAT'S HOW WE DO IT PENNSYLVANIA 🙌). But if you're starting to feel the burnout, step away and take a break. We're not done yet and this is far from official.⁠ ⁠ Please enjoy your Fridays however you see fit and have a good weekend!⁠ ⁠ .⁠ ⁠ #bookstack #bookrecommendations #bookspines #bookpile #pileofbooks #yafantasy #fantasybooks
It's Thursday and I think this is the most exhaust It's Thursday and I think this is the most exhausted I've been all year.⁠ ⁠ I'm sorry I don't really have any new books to talk about with you today, my head's just not in the right space for it. So instead, I have another book for you from my TBR that I can't wait to get to.⁠ ⁠ THE RAGE OF DRAGONS by Evan Winter is the first in The Burning series and came out last year. I've heard it described as GAME OF THRONES meets GLADIATOR which, okay, "Dragon" is already in the title and then you give me that comp? SOLD!⁠ ⁠ Why mention this book?? Well... the sequel, THE FIRES OF VENGEANCE hits shelves next Tuesday! So it's the perfect time to grab book 1 (which I believe is ALSO currently on sale on eBook so *wink wink* *nudge nudge*). A perfect escape from the world this weekend, then you can grab book 2 on November 10!⁠ ⁠ THE RAGE OF DRAGONS is the #ThrowbackThursdayBook of the Week so make sure to check it out, as well as the upcoming sequel! Synopsis below!⁠ ⁠ .⁠ ⁠ ABOUT THE BOOK⁠ ⁠ The Omehi people have been fighting an unwinnable fight for almost two hundred years. Their society has been built around war and only war. The lucky ones are born gifted. One in every two thousand women has the power to call down dragons. One in every hundred men is able to magically transform himself into a bigger, stronger, faster killing machine.⁠ ⁠ Everyone else is fodder, destined to fight and die in the endless war. Young, gift-less Tau knows all this, but he has a plan of escape. He's going to get himself injured, get out early, and settle down to marriage, children, and land. Only, he doesn't get the chance. Those closest to him are brutally murdered, and his grief swiftly turns to anger. Fixated on revenge, Tau dedicates himself to an unthinkable path. He'll become the greatest swordsman to ever live, a man willing to die a hundred thousand times for the chance to kill the three who betrayed him.⁠ ⁠ .⁠ ⁠ #therageofdragons #evanwinter #theburning #orbitbooks #epicfantasy #fantasynovel #fantasybooks #thefiresofvengeance
On Wednesday we take a deep breath and seek moment On Wednesday we take a deep breath and seek moments of joy. What has brought you joy recently?⁠ ⁠ I'm mostly staying off social media (which has brought a sort of joy in its own way) but have also been escaping into stories, whether written by others or my own.⁠ ⁠ For today's stack, I give you a bunch of YA titles I highly recommend, all of which were also published before 2020 with the exception of ASHLORDS (January 2020). Definitely worth checking these out!⁠ ⁠ And it's Wednesday so writing update! It's NaNoWriMo so I'm slowly working through my new draft as well as my other project. Yesterday didn't go so well but easing back into it today. For daily updates, I'm posting on my personal account with a little mini challenge I put together for the month! Just visit @austinedecker!⁠ ⁠ Take a deep breath. Find your moments of joy. And have a wonderful rest of your Wednesday, friends.⁠ ⁠ .⁠ ⁠ #yafantasy #yascifi #yabooks #yalit #bookstack #bookspines #bookpile #bookrecommendations
