✨ Morally grey characters! ✨

QOTD:
Do you like stories where the main characters are morally grey? 🖤

Personally, I’m a little bit of a sucker for them, which is part of the reason why I loved ONLY A MONSTER by @vanessa.len_writes! Releasing in exactly three weeks for the UK 😍❤️

It’s hard to talk about this book without giving too much away, but of course our main character is in fact the “monster” of this story and Vanessa will leave you rooting for her the entire time! For a monster she’s a very sweet character, but as her own grandmother says… ‘Real monsters look like you and me’ (a line from the very first page that gives me chills whenever I read it) 🖤

And… if you preorder you can still grab the super detailed gate to the monster court designed by @no0nedesigns here!! (I’m saving my sticker for when my UK copy comes in cause I think it’ll look perfect inside that edition of the book!) Swipe for a close up but it’s so pretty 😍 and there’s also the bookmark with the gorgeous title that features on the US/Aus covers! ❤️

TLDR; please preorder this February debut release because you won’t regret it 🥰🖤

✨ Is there a finished duology you can’t wait to binge read? ✨

Chloe Gong’s These Violent duology is at the top of the list for me, and I absolutely adore these @fairyloot editions of the books!! 😍

The book sleeve is also from FairyLoot (December box) and I love the artwork so much! By @celestialfang 😍❤️

The books are:
✨ A DARK AND HOLLOW STAR by Ashley Shuttleworth
✨ THE GIRL WHO FELL BENEATH THE SEA by Axie Oh (ARC gifted by @readeatretreat @hodderscape - thank you 🥰💖)
✨ JADE FIRE GOLD by June CL Tan

✨ IRON WIDOW by Xiran Jay Zhao

I adored all of these books and would highly recommend checking them out if you haven’t already! (And preordering the two ARC copies) 🥰

If you’re interested in the synopsis of any then I’ve put them all together on a blog post on my website, www.luchiahoughton.com ✨

So, QOTD, who’s a new-to-you author you discovered last year? 🥰✨

Side note, I listed these in alphabetical order so the Hodderscape group was completely accidental… but I do love a lot of their books so 🥲

✨ Map Monday! ✨

QOTD: do you like when books include a gorgeous map of the world? 😍

Personally I really love it, so this map of the world of CASTLES IN THEIR BONES by Laura Sebastian was a definite treat! The detail that’s gone into it is amazing 😍

In case you missed it, I posted a review for this book on my blog last Wednesday but it’s an awesome story! Can’t wait for more from the world… even if I’m still not over THAT ending. 👀

[#ad/gifted - thank you again to @readeatretreat / @hodderscape for the early finished copy! ❤️]

✨ Can you tell what these books are just by their edges? 👀✨

Today I’m sharing four of my absolute favourite @fairyloot books so far! They all look so lovely together too 🥺😍

From left to right, we have:
- JADE FIRE GOLD by June CL Tan
- SPIN THE DAWN by Elizabeth Lim
- UNRAVEL THE DUSK by Elizabeth Lim
- SIX CRIMSON CRANES by Elizabeth Lim
❤️❤️

I’d wholeheartedly recommend all of these books, and if you already like one you’re bound to like the others! ❤️

✨ What’s been your most recent bookish post? ✨

Mine is this absolutely gorgeous SIX CRIMSON CRANES pin from @fictopia.id that arrived today!! As soon as it showed up on my feed I had to have it and I’m very very grateful that they’ve opened up an Etsy store now!! 🥺💖

And… shipping from Indonesia to the UK in less than a week?! Okay, yeah… wow! 😂😍

This pin is the version inspired by the UK cover but there’s one inspired by the US cover too 🥺❤️

And I have to say, I’m most definitely a fan of how well it goes with the @fairyloot edition here too!! 😍😍💜
