💀 The City of Dusk by @tarasimauthor, FairyLoot

💀 The City of Dusk by @tarasimauthor, FairyLoot Adult Edition! 💀

I shared my review for this book a while ago but to keep it nice and short, I adored this story so I was SO happy when @fairyloot shared their April adult theme 😭🖤

This edition introduced me to a new obsession, books that look kind of like they’re made from marble? It looks so stunning even though it’s a small change from black to white. The endpapers are full of skulls and likewise gorgeous but then the naked hardcover?! I fell in love a little 🥹🖤

I absolutely love this book and I adore what FairyLoot and @hodderscape have done with this edition! 🥰🖤

Quick QOTD today! Shadow or light magic? ✨

Personally I’d go with shadow magic, but I’m pretty sure that’s just because I adore Taesia from The City of Dusk 💀🖤

Happy Friday loves! What’s everyone reading/planning this weekend? ✨

This week’s been pretty full on so I haven’t had much chance to read or anything, but very glad for the weekend break and hoping to take a lot of new photos!! ❤️

This is an older photo I never got round to posting, but just to remind y’all that Axie Oh’s books are STUNNING inside and out 🥰💖

And I love how the @fairyloot edition of XOXO goes so well with the standard UK copy of The Girl Who Fell Beneath The Sea 🥺❤️

✨ What books do you find yourself talking about the most? ✨

The books in this photo are some I find myself recommending to people ridiculously often, I loved reading all of these so much and they’ve stayed on my mind for months now 🥰

In fact, I’m actually banned by my partner for talking about two of these (Six Crimson Cranes and Jade Fire Gold), so I’ve tried to stop talking about them AS much in real life… but everywhere on social media is fine, right? 😂

If you’re new here, some books I’d 100% recommend in this shelfie:
✨ Girls of Paper and Fire trilogy by Natasha Ngan
✨ The Blood of Stars duology by Elizabeth Lim
✨ Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim
✨ Jade Fire Gold by June CL Tan
✨ Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan
✨ Only a Monster by Vanessa Len
✨ The Girl Who Fell Beneath The Sea by Axie Oh

The Darkening by @sunyamara is high up on my list because it sounds fantastic and this cover is stunning too!! Super big thank you to @readeatretreat @hodderscape for this proof copy, I’m planning on getting stuck into reading it later this month! Due out July 5th 🥰💜

✨ Synopsis ✨

A fierce revolutionary. A desperate prince. Together they will face the Storm, or be swept away . . .

Prince Dalca was born for one purpose: to protect his home from the Storm, a deadly force that surrounds his city and curses everyone it touches. Vesper Vale is the daughter of failed revolutionaries. Since the Queen sentenced her mother to death by the Storm, she and her father have been on the run.

So when the queen’s soldiers – led by Prince Dalca – catch up to Vesper’s father, she will do whatever it takes to save him from sharing her mother’s cruel fate.

Even arm herself with her father’s book of dangerous experimental magic.

Even infiltrate the prince’s elite squad of soldier-sorcerers.

Even cheat her way into his cold heart.

But when Vesper learns that there’s more to the story of her mother’s death, and that her home is in dire peril, she has little choice: trust the devious prince with her family’s secrets, or follow her mother’s footsteps into the Storm . . .

✨ Book Review! ✨ It feels like I’d wanted

✨ Book Review! ✨

It feels like I’d wanted to read A Magic Steeped in Poison by @judyilinauthor forever, and I’m so glad I did because this was a debut I seriously enjoyed! 5-star read for me 🥰💖

There’s a full review on my website (link in bio) but basically… This book will appeal to anyone who enjoys:
✨ Competitions
✨ Unique magic
✨ Mysterious love interests
✨ Found family 🥰

Obviously, this book is a must read if you enjoy East Asian inspired stories, and so it’s perfect to pick up this month especially!! ☺️
