Jaime Arkin
Happy Sunday! What was your last piece of #bookmai Happy Sunday! What was your last piece of #bookmail - I got this lovely arc in the mail recently from @simonteen and I’m looking forward to reading it soon! Summary will be below! Make sure you get this on your #tbrpile if it’s not already!
.
Summary:

In this charming debut fantasy perfect for fans of Sorcery of Thorns and Girls of Paper and Fire, a witch cursed to never love meets a girl hiding her own dangerous magic, and the two strike a dangerous bargain to save their queendom.

Tamsin is the most powerful witch of her generation. But after committing the worst magical sin, she’s exiled by the ruling Coven and cursed with the inability to love. The only way she can get those feelings back—even for just a little while—is to steal love from others.

Wren is a source—a rare kind of person who is made of magic, despite being unable to use it herself. Sources are required to train with the Coven as soon as they discover their abilities, but Wren—the only caretaker to her ailing father—has spent her life hiding her secret.

When a magical plague ravages the queendom, Wren’s father falls victim. To save him, Wren proposes a bargain: if Tamsin will help her catch the dark witch responsible for creating the plague, then Wren will give Tamsin her love for her father.

Of course, love bargains are a tricky thing, and these two have a long, perilous journey ahead of them—that is, if they don't kill each other first.

I had already read and fallen in love with Chaol and she was kind enough to indulge me lol - I also got to meet and chat with @stdennard that day and though her book wasn’t out yet it was such fun getting to know more about what she was writing!
.

Hey all! Happy Tuesday! . What’s coming up on yo Hey all! Happy Tuesday!
.
What’s coming up on your #tbrpile ? I was so excited to get my hands on this one! It arrived a bit too late for me to read prior to release but I’m hoping to dive into it soon! Check out the summary below and get it on your tbr now OR grab a copy today since this came out last week! (ALSO isn’t that cover gorgeous?) 
.
Summary:

Choose your player.

The “ironborn” half-fae outcast of her royal fae family.
A tempestuous Fury, exiled to earth from the Immortal Realm and hellbent on revenge.
A dutiful fae prince, determined to earn his place on the throne.
The prince’s brooding guardian, burdened with a terrible secret.

For centuries, the Eight Courts of Folk have lived among us, concealed by magic and bound by law to do no harm to humans. This arrangement has long kept peace in the Courts—until a series of gruesome and ritualistic murders rocks the city of Toronto and threatens to expose faeries to the human world.

Four queer teens, each who hold a key piece of the truth behind these murders, must form a tenuous alliance in their effort to track down the mysterious killer behind these crimes. If they fail, they risk the destruction of the faerie and human worlds alike. If that’s not bad enough, there’s a war brewing between the Mortal and Immortal Realms, and one of these teens is destined to tip the scales. The only question is: which way?

Wish them luck. They’re going to need it.

.
Huge thank you to @stmartinspress and @bighonchomedia for sending me this amazing book and some sweet treats to enjoy while reading! Summary is below and I’m so excited to give it a read!
.
Summary:

Skye Starling is overjoyed when her boyfriend, Burke Michaels, proposes after a whirlwind courtship. Though Skye seems to have the world at her fingertips―she’s smart, beautiful, and from a well-off family―she’s also battled crippling OCD ever since her mother’s death when she was eleven, and her romantic relationships have suffered as a result.

But now Burke―handsome, older, and more emotionally mature than any man she’s met before―says he wants her. Forever. Except, Burke isn’t who he claims to be. And interspersed letters to his therapist reveal the truth: he’s happily married, and using Skye for his own, deceptive ends.

In a third perspective, set thirty years earlier, a scrappy seventeen-year-old named Heather is determined to end things with Burke, a local bad boy, and make a better life for herself in New York City. But can her adolescent love stay firmly in her past―or will he find his way into her future?

On a collision course she doesn’t see coming, Skye throws herself into wedding planning, as Burke’s scheme grows ever more twisted. But of course, even the best laid plans can go astray. And just when you think you know where this story is going, you’ll discover that there’s more than one way to spin the truth.

Happy Sunday! I tend to use this Instagram space t Happy Sunday! I tend to use this Instagram space to talk about books I love and share recommendations - I used to do a whole lot more promo back when i received more books but I’ve become less of a ‘give me all the books’ person over the years I’ve realIzed! What do you use your space for?

All that to say that I started this book on audio the other day and have loved absolutely every second of it. These characters and the writing is just amazing and I’m so mad at myself for not reading it immediately upon receiving it. I predict many rereads in the future!

Happy #stacksaturday my friends! How are you doing Happy #stacksaturday my friends! How are you doing these days?
.
Do you listen to podcasts? What are your faves? We used to do a more regular podcast where we talked books and book boys and just all the fun stuff we were interested in and I am excited to get to talk to my friends tonight and just catch up! It’s been ages and add to that the quarantine and no book events and I only have Erin to talk to about books lol
.
Also just featuring one of my faves today #victorvale - I love these books so much - if you like grey characters and stories where you’re not sure you should be rooting for the main characters this is the series for you lol- BUT IT IS SOOOOOO GOOD!
.
Happy Saturday my friends!

Do you have any bookish goals this year? . One of Do you have any bookish goals this year?
.
One of mine was to finish up a few series that have been on my shelves for a while! The only reason I hadn’t read The Triumphant when it came out was because I needed to reread the first two books and I finally did an audio reread and immediately read book 3 after! This series was so good you guys! I highly recommend it! So much action and drama and luck ass gladiatrices! (Is that the word? Lol) I really loved it and hope you grab it if you haven’t already!
