QOTD: What’s a recently released sequel you’re

QOTD: What’s a recently released sequel you’re excited to read soon? 💕 Hey loves! I’m back after an unplanned hiatus because apparently this year is going to be a little bit of a rollercoaster of emotions. But I’m super thankful to @orbitbooks_uk @gambit589 for these two lovely looking books I received recently!! I’m currently reading Tideborn by Eliza Chan (sequel to Fathomfolk! 🥰) and really enjoying it, whilst I’m grateful to Orbit for both copies here including The Ashfire King by Chelsea Abdullah, sequel to The Stardust Thief! I loved The Stardust Thief because of the found family aspect, so I’m excited to dive back into that world, and the other book here is A Song of Legends Lost by MH Ayinde which also sounds fabulous!! I’ll post about each separately soon, just wanted to first pop on with an overdue thank you to Orbit for the review copies 🫶🏻💕 ✨ #fantasybookstagram #ukbookstagram #ukbookstagrammer

QOTD: Have you ever fallen in love with a book but

QOTD: Have you ever fallen in love with a book but had to leave it behind in the bookstore? 🥲 I found these STUNNING Italian editions of Judy I. Lin’s Book of Tea duology whilst I was in Rome last week. We only went with carry on so after taking them around the store I eventually had to concede to the fact I had no chance of getting them back to the UK 🥲 But I’m so glad I could see them in person! Italian editions are insanely beautiful, and I saw a couple of others like Our Infinite Fates and When the Moon Hatched! Anyway lesson learned, next time I’ll have check in luggage for Italy 🫡 ✨ Hope everyone’s doing well! 💕 ✨ #amagicsteepedinpoison #avenomdarkandsweet #bookofteaduology #judyilin #fantasybooks

QOTD: Something simple! What are you currently rea

QOTD: Something simple! What are you currently reading, watching or listening to these days? 💕 Probably the fanciest reel I’ll ever have on here but I’m currently reading this book, Long Live Evil by Sarah Rees Brennan, whenever I get chance to pick it up whilst in Rome! So I took a quick little video of it whilst at the Trevi Fountain today 🥹 I know we’re following the villain in the story… but I can’t help but adore her and the rest of her budding villain found family! About half way through so hopefully I’ll be able to share my review soon 🥰💜 Proof copy here is thanks to @orbitbooks_uk @gambit589, my FairyLoot edition is safe on my shelves back home! 💕 ✨ #longliveevil #sarahreesbrennan #orbitbooks #booksbooksbooks #booksbooksandmorebooks #fantasybookstagram #ukbookstagram #ukbookstagrammer

🦊 Nine Tailed by Jayci Lee 🦊 QOTD: Can you

🦊 Nine Tailed by Jayci Lee 🦊 QOTD: Can you recommend any urban fantasy books you’ve loved? If not let me know your current read/watch/fave song 💕 Here today to talk about this urban romantasy I read recently and really enjoyed! I actually have a screenshot from the cover reveal for this book (20th Feb 2024!) and I’d been super looking forward to it because I love stories around nine tailed foxes 🥹 This book didn’t disappoint me, we even start out in one of my favourite cities on earth (Las Vegas 🫶🏻) and straight from the start our main character, Sunny, is full of sass and I adored her from the get-go, the more I learned about her though the more I just wanted to give her a big hug. We’re quickly introduced to Ethan, who is a rather attractive-sounding and kind young gentleman, but there seems to be more to him than meets the eye… Sunny is the titular gumiho and she’s basically been in hiding, but when someone previously close to her is murdered then she ends up deep back into her old world and life, heading back to Korea for answers and to try stop a monster who’s returned. Along the way we also get a lovely dose of found family, and overall this was just a super fun (often emotional) read and I’m really excited to see where the story goes next! Just wish I’d picked it up sooner than I did 💕 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ ✨ #ninetailed #jaycilee #booksbooksbooks #fantasybooks #urbanfantasybooks #ukbookstagram #ukbookstagrammer

Hey loves! How’s everyone doing? 💕 I kept me

Hey loves! How’s everyone doing? 💕 I kept meaning to post recently but I went away for a little bit to London to see Ateez and then I’ve kind of been under the weather since, but starting to feel better and I want to talk about pretty books again so hi! QOTD: What’s the prettiest looking book you’ve seen recently? 🥹💕 My post today shows two sets of edges of Sue Lynn Tan’s beautiful books, the first is the Fairyloot editions of Daughter of the Moon Goddess, Heart of the Sun Warrior and Tales of the Celestial Kingdom, alongside the Waterstones edition of Immortal 🫶🏻 The extra edge on the second photo is the Fairyloot edition of Immortal, which is probably safe to show by now but just in case I’ve hidden it! ✨ #suelynntan #immortal #daughterofthemoongoddess #heartofthesunwarrior #talesofthecelestialkingdom #harpervoyager #harpervoyageruk

QOTD: What are you currently reading/watching/list

QOTD: What are you currently reading/watching/listening too? 💕 Ad / PR Thank you @harpervoyager_uk for this gorgeous proof of The Legend of Meneka by Kritika H. Rao! It’s my current read and I’m loving all of the beautiful references to Indian mythology 💫 Meneka is such a fiesty main character too!! And her energy with Kaushika 🥹 I’m taking this away with me next week and excited to binge read it on my long train trips! 🫶🏻 And if you like the sound of the synopsis, you can go pick up a finished copy right now! But I’ll have my review up ASAP, and before that gorgeous Fairyloot edition goes on presale 👀 ✨ Synopsis ✨ Across the realms, celestial dancers known as apsaras are revered for their beauty, allure, and enchanting magic. But Meneka knows that is not all they are. They are weapons – warriors – seducing their targets for Lord Indra, the king of heaven, for his political gain. When a mortal’s growing powers threaten Lord Indra’s supremacy, Meneka seizes a rare opportunity and strikes a deal. If she can seduce this dangerous man, Indra will grant her what she most desires: her freedom. But upon meeting the mortal Kaushika, Meneka finds herself captivated, despite his power threatening to destroy everything she’s ever known. Can she overthrow the man who is, little by little, stealing her heart, or is he seducing her instead and to what end? As war looms in the skies, Meneka must choose between her duty to protect her home, and the man who is showing her what love can truly mean. ✨ #thelegendofmeneka #kritikahrao #harpervoyageruk #harpervoyager #fantasybooks #ukbookstagram #booksbooksbooks #booksbooksandmorebooks
