W E D N E S D A Y⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ➵ QOTD: What is your favorite special book feature? Stained pages, exclusive cover, secret gilded artwork on the naked cover, author annotated chapters, maps?! ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ➵ AOTD: All of the above. But for the sake of the question I’ll narrow it down to two and say sprayed edges & a fancy AF naked cover! ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ➵ This photo features the Beautiful scarf and book from the November @illumicrate. Just...drool. I love the exclusive cover and black edges together. I can’t wait to see their February Gods & Monsters box. You can use code BOOKWORM10 to save on a subscription! ⠀⠀ ➵ ➵ One more @illumicrate note: there are only TWENTY FIVE Grishaverse boxes left. So hurry it up and get one kitty cats. When they’re gone, they’re gone. (The books have a fancy AF naked cover, btw.) ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀
Hello Tuesday...⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ➵ This year I set myself a goal to read six classics. Now I just have to decide where to start! I have such a long list of suggestions, it’s slightly overwhelming. I’m leaning toward Persuasion or Rebecca. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ➵ QOTD: Do you have a favorite classic novel? ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ➵ My amazingly talented friend, @hollydunndesign, designed this Alice bookmark. She’s selling mystery bundles in her shop right now, too. Check it out and grab your own! You can use code BOOKWORM10 to save on your order. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀
M O N D A Y⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ➵ I can’t get over 2019. The books coming out are just growing my tbr by leaps and bounds. I thought I’d do a little post about a few of the ones I’m longing for. Aside from Wicked Saints, which I already read, these are all slated for my February tbr. Run over and add them your list! ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ — The Ruin of Kings by Jenn Lyons (Feb 4) is an adult fantasy being compared to the likes of Sanderson and Rothfuss. If you’re looking for an epic fantasy to dig your teeth in to, this one sounds exquisite. ⠀⠀ — Wicked Saints by Emily A. Duncan (April 2) is my favorite read of the year, so far. In the author’s own words, “For all your dark fantasy about girls with daggers, alcoholic princes, melodramatic goth boys & Slavic cosmic horror monsters needs!” ⠀⠀ — Descendant of the Crane by Joan He (April 2) is a gorgeous Chinese-inspired fantasy by a debut author. Young heroines and a world of deception are within these pages. ⠀⠀ — Upon A Burning Throne by Ashok K. Banker (April 16) is being pitched as the Indian Game of Thrones. So, I’m in! ⠀⠀ — Blood Heir by Amélie Wen Zhao (June 4) is a DARK Anastasia retelling and I am here for it. It’s already getting rave reviews over on Goodreads. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ➵ QOTD: Are any of these on your tbr? And what’s another book you just can’t wait for? ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀
“Whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.” -JKR⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ➵ QOTD: Is there a book that feels like coming home for you? ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ➵ AOTD: Harry Potter is definitely home for me. It’s the series that made me friends and swept me away and got me to read more regularly. It’s in my bones. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ➵ ➵ This box light came in my December @enchantedbookbox and I ADORE it! Their February Enchanted Encounters box is on sale now, along with a few more Schwab boxes! Don’t miss out. You can use code BOOKWORM5 to save on monthly boxes! ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀
