✨ The Broken Binding Special Editions ✨

I’ve had a …couple… of special editions arrive from The Broken Binding lately and though they’ve all been stunning, definitely have a soft spot for this edition of A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland! 😍 the edges and hidden foiling are both absolutely beautiful 🥹

thebrokennbinding is running a special edition photo competition atm too, so I’m counting this as my entry and tagging pufflekitteh and kratist0! ❤️ #tbb25comp

QOTD: What was the last super pretty book you got in the mail? ✨

What was the last bookish world you felt sad about saying goodbye to? ✨

I finished reading Heart of the Sun Warrior by suelynntan and even though I KNOW we’re being blessed to another book based in the same world I bawled my eyes out for the last 50 pages, mostly due to Sue Lynn’s beautiful story building but partly because saying goodbye to this world and it’s characters, even temporarily, is difficult! 😭

I will have a full review for this up on my blog this week but for now I’ll say that if you liked Daughter of the Moon Goddess you’ll adore Heart of the Sun Warrior. It has all of the elements that made DOTMG so fantastic with a huge emphasis on familial bonds and I just know I’ll love anything that Sue Lynn Tan writes 🥹

The biggest of thanks again to harpervoyager_uk for the proof copy here! 💖

As for the stunning print… I had to grab this from thescriptedletterco as it features gorgeous gold foil outlined art from gracezhuart, it’s even more beautiful in person! The Long Dragon, best boys and Xingyin… it’s just perfect 🥺❤️

What are you reading this weekend? ✨

I’m reading Heart of the Sun Warrior as a physical book (I will definitely be talking more about it soon but LOVE IT so so so much 🥹) and Babel as an eBook… eBooks still take me a lot longer to get through usually so I’ve been reading Babel for about a month now 🙈 but it’s such a fantastic story and I’m loving all the background into linguistics dotted throughout! 😍

Feeling very justified about having the illumicrate, fairyloot and waterstones editions of Babel here as well. Actually kicking myself for not having caved with another but I do love how these all look together especially! 🥹✨

What was the last personalised book you got in the mail, or what book would you love to have signed and personalised? 💖

My personalised copy of The Dragon’s Promise arrived at the start of this month and I love it and all the gorgeous preorder goodies! 💙

I love this duology so much, very happy to have both books signed and personalised, and incredibly grateful to booksofwonder for offering international shipping 🥹💖

What was the last book you preordered? ✨

If you haven’t preordered Strike the Zither by Joan He yet then I absolutely implore you to if you’re a fan of fantasy in general!

There’s a longer review on my website but in short, if you enjoy wuxia and xianxia in particular, you’ll love this story.

It follows Zephyr, who is absolutely sure that she is better than almost everyone else around her and honestly, if you like confident characters you’ll LOVE her!

I flew through this book and my only regret is how long I’ll have to wait for the sequel 🥹❤️

‘Neither here nor there, but long ago…’ ✨

Are you a fan of stories within stories? Honestly I love when it’s a theme within a book, and chelsabdullah did it so well with The Stardust Thief! 💜

I can’t wait to see what kind of stories we get in The Ashfire King, and I’m so excited to get back to the world in general! ✨

What’s a sequel you’re highly anticipating right now? 💜
