Happy Monday everyone!⁣ ⁣ Is it just me, or has tomorrow’s massive pub day snuck up on them? There’s so many incredible books coming out tomorrow, but I’m running a bit behind 🙈⁣ ⁣ Today, I’m joining in on @thelittlereadingmermaid’s #coffeeandcurrentlyreading with 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐖𝐨𝐥𝐟𝐟 (thank you @mbc_books & @entangledteen for my gifted copy!). ⁣ ⁣ Hallelujah, vampires are finally making a come back! ⁣ ⁣ While the cover of this one may make you think this is a Twilight resurgence, it’s not. We’ve got a whole myriad of magical beings in this one: vampires, wereshifters, witches, and even dragons, and they are all stuck at the same magical academy. Nothing will go wrong? Right?! 😂⁣ ⁣ I’ve only got 200 pages to go in this one, I already love the world building that Wolff has crafted as well as the unique spin on vampirism that you don’t normally see in YA. Want to know what it is? Get a copy of this book when it releases tomorrow! ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴?⁣

📖 ARC Gιʋҽαɯαყ 📖⁣ ⁣ 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞?⁣ ⁣ I’ve partnered with my friends @Flatiron_Books #partner to tell you about 𝙂𝙞𝙧𝙡, 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙩, 𝙏𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙣 by Melissa Bashardoust. This is a queer fairytale featuring a girl who is cursed with a poisonous touch. ⁣ ⁣ This beauty releases July 7th! But guess what? @Flatiron_Books has graciously offered to give one of you an early copy! ⁣ ⁣ This giveaway is for US entrants only (sorry international!). ⁣ ⁣ To Enter:⁣ - Like and save this post ⁣ - Follow me and @Flatiron_Books⁣ - Tag a friend in the comments ⁣ ⁣ Extra Entries:⁣ - share this post in your stories and tag me and @Flatiron_Books! ⁣ - tag more friends (one per comment; unlimited) ⁣ ⁣ Giveaway ends on April 12th at 5 pm CT. ⁣ ⁣ Disclaimer: giveaway is not affiliated with Instagram. Must be willing to share address if you win. 18+ unless parental consent given. US only. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #GirlSerpentThorn #FlatironBooks

Happy Saturday everyone! ⁣ ⁣ So yesterday, it was confirmed that we’ll be out of the lab for another month 🙃⁣ ⁣ On a happier note, I FINALLY had time to read 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙊𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙏𝙧𝙚𝙚 by @say_shannon (which @crofteereader has been yelling at me to do for almost a year now 🙈). ⁣ ⁣ Anyways, y’all, this book was absolutely incredible! ⁣ ⁣ Samantha Shannon is an expert storyteller that has carefully crafted a completely engrossing and immersive tale. ⁣ ⁣ This story boasts rich and complex world building, fascinating and well developed characters, same sex relationships, magic, dragons (who are actual characters with rich histories and not magical beings to gawk at), political intrigue, and so much more. ⁣ ⁣ Even though this book comes in at just over 800 pages, I found myself savoring every single page and was left in a glorious haze when I finished. ⁣ ⁣ Rating: 5/5 ⭐️’s ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝘆𝗲𝘁?⁣ ⁣ My next backlist title that I need to get to is either Gods of Jade and Shadow or Ninth House.

🌈 It’s Rainbow Stack Day! 🌈⁣ ⁣ Happy Friday everyone! We have officially made it through week three of quarantine/social distancing (we all deserve shiny gold stars and lots of wine…just saying).⁣ ⁣ Today I am joining in the rainbow stack challenge that the rainbow queen herself @jennsbookvibes is hosting! With all of the darkness going on right now, she asked us to light up instagram with beautiful rainbows to help remind us to stay positive and (virtually) lean on one another.⁣ ⁣ So get those colorful books and use the hashtag #jennsrainbowchallenge! ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞.⁣ ⁣ My husband and I have been taking daily walks together, which I’ve now come to look forward to.

💙 Blue Stacks for Autism Awareness 💙⁣ ⁣ Today I am joining in on the Autism Awareness stack challenge that’s being hosted by @suspensethrill @novelgossip @reallyintothis! ⁣ ⁣ They’ve asked us to stack our blue books and use the hashtag #thrillandchillstacks.⁣ ⁣ Can’t participate today? Don’t worry! April is Autism Awareness month, and @travelling.the.pages is hosting a challenge for the entire month. Be sure to use the hashtag #autisminblue. ⁣ ⁣ So whether your participate today or later this month, grab your blue books and let’s show some support 💙⁣
