Hey loves! Who’s in the mood to read about some upcoming fantasy debuts? 🥰

Sorry I didn’t post yesterday, I wanted to get a blog post together for this and I guess I’m out of practice because it took a lot longer than I’d planned!

If you head to the link in my Linktree you’ll find the blog post with all synopses and purchase links if you’re after some book shopping, but all of these look so good 💕

Books featured are:
✨ And Break the Pretty Kings by Lena Jeong (twice, because as you’ll notice on the last slide I’m lucky to be on Mirae’s Street Team! 🥰)
💕 The Sun and the Void by Gabriela Romero-Lacruz
✨ The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem
💕 The Hurricane Wars by Thea Guanzon
✨ The Surviving Sky by Kritika H. Rao

💕 The Phoenix King by Aparna Verma
✨ Sing Me to Sleep by Gabi Burton

We’re set to have a lot of very awesome debuts, but I’ve tried to highlight some due out soon because preorders are always helpful! And I’m very excited for these ones 😍💕

QOTD: are there any books catching your eye on this list, or any debut fantasy books you’d like to shout about?

Thank you @hodderscape @readeatretreat for this early copy of The Lightstruck by Sunya Mara, sequel to The Darkening! ✨

If you haven’t checked out The Darkening yet then I’d definitely recommend it if you’re a fan of enemies-to-lovers and morally grey characters! It’s set in a fantasy world trapped within the eye of encroaching storm, and after the ending of book one I’m psyched that I can pick up book two soon! 💜

Hey loves! How’s everyone’s weekends going? 💕

I did an oops and added another edition of The Girl Who Fell Beneath The Sea by Axie Oh to my collection 😂 in my defence… the colours are different and it’s gorgeous 🥹

I’ve only included UK editions from @hodderscape on this reel, the US edition is on my shelf though…

Happy book birthday @ay_chao! 🥳🎉

Shanghai Immortal is out today and I can’t wait for more to read this book and experience the brilliance of A.Y. Chao’s world-building and the wonderful Lady Jing 💕

Last night I had the honour of being invited to the book launch for Shanghai Immortal and it was such a lovely evening!! I got to play mahjong for the first time, which was awesome because it’s one of the games that features in the book. I’m definitely after a set to play with friends now! 😂

A zither player was playing the most gorgeous music all night, there was a gorgeous cover cake complete with a dragon too and we all got gift bags after!

I’ll take photos of the contents once I’m back up north but for now have a little collage, including a photo of the gorgeous cake! 🫶🏻💕

Thank you @hodderscape for the invite, and for publishing fabulous books! 💙

What trilogies do you love? 💕

It’s been a while since I’ve spoken about Girls of Paper and Fire by @girlinthelens but if you’re looking for a finished trilogy to try then this is a beautiful one! And, perfect for pride month as it’s sapphic 🫶🏻

Lei and Wren’s relationship is heartwarming, but the trilogy as a whole centres around them trying to make the world better for everyone, no matter what they have to sacrifice along the way 🥺

✨

I went to book launch of another Hodderscape title tonight, the awesome Shanghai Immortal by AY Chao!! 💕 I’ll be posting about it tomorrow when the sun’s up but ahh it was a lovely evening 🥺💕

What books are you looking forward to reading soon

What books are you looking forward to reading soon? ✨

One I’m looking forward to is The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem! Even more so due to the stunning cover 😍

✨ Synopsis ✨

At ten years old, the Heir of Jasad flees a massacre that takes her entire family.

At fifteen, she buries her first body.

At twenty, the clock is ticking on Sylvia’s third attempt at home. Nizahl’s armies have laid waste to Jasad and banned magic across the four remaining kingdoms. Fortunately, Sylvia’s magic is as good at playing dead as she is.

When the Nizahl Heir tracks a group of Jasadis to Sylvia’s village, the quiet life she’s crafted unravels. Calculating and cold, Arin’s tactical brilliance is surpassed only by his hatred for magic. When a mistake exposes Sylvia’s magic, Arin offers her an escape: compete as Nizahl’s Champion in the Alcalah tournament and win immunity from persecution. In exchange, Arin will use her as bait to draw out the Jasadis he’s hunting.

To win the deadly Alcalah, Sylvia must work with Arin to free her trapped magic, all while staying a step ahead of his efforts to uncover her identity. But as the two grow closer, Sylvia realizes winning her freedom as Nizahl’s Champion means destroying any chance of reuniting Jasad under her banner. The scorched kingdom is rising again, and Sylvia will have to choose between the life she’s earned and the one she left behind.

✨

Releasing July 20th, huge thank you to @orbitbooks_uk @gambit589 for the proof copy here! 💛

✨

Heading down to London again tomorrow, but grabbing a coach instead thanks to the train strikes 😂 weirdly excited for all the reading time though tbh! Hoping I can finish The Surviving Sky 💕
