Thank you @hodderscape for this stunning proof of The City of Dusk by @ge_summers! 😍

This is releasing in January 2024 and is for fans of The Ten Thousand Doors of January, The Starless Sea and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.

I shared the synopsis of this alongside a cover reveal but for a little refresher I’ll share it again! Can’t wait to get to this magical read 😍

🗝️ Synopsis 🗝️

For centuries, Everlys have seen their brightest and best disappear, taken as punishment for a crime no one remembers, for a purpose no one understands. Their tormentor is a woman named Penelope, who never ages, never grows sick – and never forgives a debt.

Ten years ago, Violet Everly’s mother left to break the curse, and never returned. Now Violet must find her mother, or she will be taken in her place.

Her hunt leads her into a seductive magical underworld of power-hungry scholars, fickle gods, and monsters bent on revenge. And into the path of Penelope’s quiet assistant, Aleksander, who she knows cannot be trusted – and yet to whom she finds herself undeniably drawn.

Tied to a very literal deadline, Violet will travel to the edges of the world to find her mother and the key to the city of stardust, where the Everly story began . . .

QOTD: What are you reading/listening to/watching lately?

I can’t stop listening to BTS and Stray Kids so I’ve finally picked up Once Upon a K-Prom by Kat Cho and I’m loving it 🥺

✨ The Hurricane Wars by Thea Guanzon ✨

First up, thank you to @thelockedlibrary / @harpervoyager_uk for the proof here, I was so excited for The Hurricane Wars by @theagwrites and this proof is just too beautiful 🥺

I posted my review for this book on my site if you’re interested in reading a longer review but… I loved this so much. The world building was fantastic and that teamed up with so much glorious tension between Talasyn and Alaric was just *chef’s kiss* 😍

All the stars ✨✨✨✨✨✨ and I need book two in my life as soon as possible.

Go run to preorder if you haven’t already because this comes out in October, and run faster if you’re a fan of enemies-to-lovers 🥰

✨

QOTD: What was the last book you preordered?

💚 Of Jade and Dragons by Amber Chen 💚

Hey loves! I’m here today to boost this STUNNING cover (hello to another cover with art by @afterblossom_art 😍) for Of Jade and Dragons by @amberwrites88, which also sounds like the story will be just as fabulous as the cover! (Also head to Amber’s account to see the full wrap because 😍😍😍 I’m obsessed) 💚

Comps include Iron Widow x Six Crimson Cranes and Mulan x Iron Widow (gimmie on both accounts), I’ve put a short description on the last slide but in case it’s a wee bit small here goes:

‘After witnessing her father's murder, eighteen-year-old Aihui Ying vows to take revenge into her own hands. Armed only with a journal containing her father's greatest engineering secrets and a jade pendant snatched from the assassin, she follows the trail to the capital city and the prestigious Engineers Guild, a place that harbors her father's hidden past. Disguised as her brother, Ying infiltrates the guild's male-only apprenticeship trial with the help of an unlikely ally - Aogiya Ye-yang, a taciturn young prince. But the secrets concealed within the guild can be as deadly as the weapons they build, and Ying must decide if her revenge is truly worthwhile, if it means going against everything her father stood for.’

🗓️ Get your preorders in now for 18th June 2024! 🐉

Thank you Amber for letting me help with the reveal! 🫶🏻💚

Hey loves! Little bit of a different type of post

Hey loves! Little bit of a different type of post today with a feature on some adorable blind box figures 🥹💕

My friends who run @mainstreetbags recently got these adorable Momiji book shop figures in store, so I bought two and they #gifted me a third when I saw them on Sunday 🥺

I knew straight up this one would look cute with the Afterlight edition of Mortal Follies by Alexis Hall, can you think of books I can pair the other two figures with? 🤔

If you’re interested in grabbing any Momiji figures from the store then you can use the code LUCHIA2023 for free shipping and if you spend over £40 on an order you’ll get a free pin, over £100 and it’d be a free homeware product (worth up to the value of £15)

#ad/pr since one was gifted and I have a lil rep code there you can use! 🫶🏻

QOTD: Are you a fan of lined books? (When the author signs the book and writes a quote or tagline) ❤️

I’m a big fan of it, so I hunted down an extra copy of the @illumicrate August book here, Guardians of Dawn: Zhara by @sjaejones, when I noticed some had them 😂

I regret nothing. This book is GORGEOUS and two copies just means I get to display one as The Maiden Who Was Loved by Death, with that beautiful case 🥹

Love the contrast of the edges, and the design in general (another flower edge! 🪷), and then the endpapers are ridiculously lovely also 🥺

Design wise I’m probably more biased because I loved the cover already, but Illumicrate’s additions just make this all the more magical 💖

Andddd then I’m yet more biased because I adored this book.

Take this as your reminder to pick this book up if you haven’t already! I can’t wait for the next book 🥹💕

💙 Mindbreaker by Kate Dylan 💙

Sorry for the late post but I’ve been speeding through Mindbreaker by @thekatedylan to get my review up for my part on today’s bookstagram tour ran by @pridebooktours! 💙

I seriously loved Mindwalker, the futuristic, post-apocalyptic world Kate created was something that felt scarily possible, and Mindbreaker is of a similar nature and in the same world, though instead of our main character being a human with tech, it’s someone who is given no choice but to have her body destroyed and her mind uploaded into a ‘cybotic’ body.

Indra was a brilliant main character, a girl who has never really been allowed to be herself even before the evil tech corporation got their hands on her. And the two main side characters? Nyx is an absolutely adorable friend, you can tell he’d really do anything for Indra, and I loved Tian so much but I won’t say why in this review.

Both Mindwalker and Mindbreaker are full of brilliant twists, but Mindbreaker had even more moments within that tugged on your heartstrings. Sil’s journey was difficult and not without loss, but Indra… I honestly would just like to hug her after finishing this book.

And, if you also enjoyed Mindwalker… absolutely go grab this book right now (it’s out today! 🎉) because you’ll get to say hi to some of the cast 🥹

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The photos here show the preorder incentives also that arrived this week!! (Super excited to get the Goldsboro edition of Mindbreaker to match Mindwalker 🥺). How epic is this bookmark?! Twist it to show Indra without her FleshMesh 👀
