Hello book friend! How's the weather in your area? We have been having a lot of severe thunderstorms lately and had to visit the storm shelter due to a tornado warning..all is fine though 🙃 City of Nightmares ⭐⭐⭐ By: Rebecca Schaeffer This novel is unique and has a great beginning. What's not interesting about humans turning into their worst nightmare if they dream? Like men eating spiders, vampires, or giant lizards. The main character has a lot of trauma and fear that really controls her life. Slowly, she improves but it's a very slow process that can be a bit much at times. #yafantasybooks #cityofnightmares #bookreview

Whats something you’ve accomplished recently that you’re proud of? Listen, I’m an author, not a photographer. But these books next to this map… I almost gave up and hired someone to help me finish this map, and though I’m sure they would have done an amazing job, the sense of accomplishment I have having done it myself is so powerful! I love how it turned out, and I love how it looks next to the books it represents 🥹♥️ These map prints are going out exclusively through my kickstarter, so make sure to get to the link in my bio and find a tier that works for you! (The print map is also available as an add on!) Only 5 days left till this kickstarter ends, and about a week and a half till book 2 launches!!!!! #yafantasy #yafantasyromance #yafantasyauthor #yafantasybooks #cleanfantasy #cleanbook #cleanbookrevolution #cleanreads #cleanbookrecs #christianfictionauthors #christianbookstagram #christianfantasy #christianfantasybooks #christianfantasyromance #empireofashandsong

What was/is your last read of April? • I was hoping to finish ZA9 but I don’t see it happening today. It’s soooo good but I’m so slow at listening to audiobooks. I get distracted if I try to do other things while listening and then have to rewind because I miss things haha. • This gorgeous Shadowhunters print is from @enchantedextras and you can use my code LIVING15 to save in the shop. • Happy Tuesday!

Mattes is...something else. You will never know if you're getting silly, sarcastic Mattes or dead serious Mattes until you're halfway into the conversation. Also, if it's serious Mattes, all I can tell you is watch out. Mattes will joke around and flirt with you, then 2.5 seconds later start telling you about the mission, if you're trustworthy that is. We don't see a LOT of Mattes in book 1, but rest assured, we will learn much more about him and his motivations in book 2! Chaos?

Spell Bound by @ftlukens Genre: YA, fantasy, LGBTQ+ romance ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ Whenever I need a quick, fun, heartwarming read I will always return to FT Lukens. And that’s what I did here, turning to Spell Bound after a disappointing DNF and an incoming reading slump, and it was the best choice I could’ve made. I felt so so happy whilst reading this book and it felt like a warm hug! One thing I love about FT Lukens’ books is the way they incorporate subtle societal criticisms into their work, and in this one they focused on corrupt government and leadership. This is something I’m particularly passionate about and I found how they wove these themes into this wonderful magical world. Another thing I loved about this book (and Lukens’ work in general) is how accessible their writing style is. Reading their work always makes me feel safe and welcome. I loved Rook and Sun as protagonists and found them wonderfully unique and relatable in their own ways. Their slowly blossoming romance with respectful boundaries was so sweet and uplifting and I adored their story. This book had really unique side characters too, and though I wish we got to spend a bit more time with them, I felt that they really added to the story, and I loved the found family elements that slowly developed across the book. I do wish this had been slightly longer to flesh out the ending a bit more, but I loved it so so much and had so much fun whilst reading it! I definitely recommend Spell Bound for fans of fast-paced heartwarming queer stories with lovely happy endings. I’m even more excited to get to Lukens’ newest release now! ✨ #ftlukens #fantasy #fantasybooks #fantasybookshelf #fantasystandalone #standalonebooks #ya #yabooks #yabookstagram #fantasybooksseries #yafantasy #yafantasybooks #contemporaryfantasy #lgbtq #lgbtqbooks #youngadultbooks #youngadultfiction #youngadultbook #books #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookshelf #bookreview #bookrecommendations #bookrecommendation #bookreader #bookreviewer #bookstagramuk

I missed the whole Gangsey, even Adam… 😂 Book read this month: - The Raven Boys ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - The Dream Thieves (not pictured) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Blue Lily, Lily Blue ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - The Raven King (almost finished) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Welcome to the Hyunamdong Bookshop ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - The Bone Ships ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Emily Wildes Encyclopaedia of Faeries ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Once upon a time, on the coldest night of midwinter, in the darkest heart of the forest, Death and Fortune came to a crossroads" Little Thieves is a Goose Girl retelling. It's one of my favorite YA books, and it has it all: humor, magic, lovable characters, gorgeous prose. And it made me cry (I never cry!) Which book made you cry?

Or tell me a random fact about yourself ☺️ I went into this book fairly blind, I knew there would be magical letters but that’s the extent of what I was prepared for. Overall the story starts out at a good pace and it was easy to fall for the magical atmosphere. I enjoyed the character driven plot and following Iris and Roman’s journey. Iris was easily relatable with all that she has to go through and the decisions she has to make. Their relationship was definitely what had me turning the pages so quickly and I loved every moment between them. The only thing I wish there was more of is world building and lore. I know it eventually comes but it would have been a little nice to have more sprinkled in this book. I found the war between gods and the magic system so fascinating, I think it would have been nice to expand even more on it. Overall I liked this book a lot and totally get all the hype around it. And to answer my question, I have had a penpal! I met an exchange student at camp when I was younger who lived in Japan. We kept in contact for a while by email which was a lot of fun. 🏷️ #divinerivals #divinerivalsrebeccaross #yafantasybooks #bookreviews #bookreview #yafantasy #magicalbooks #readersofinstagram #bookworm #bookstagram #booksofig #booksilove #bookphotography

•REVIEW• 📖 The Guidal: Unearthing secrets ✍️ Roxy Eloise ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *contains minor spoilers if you haven't read book 1* Firstly I feel like I need some charcoal pjs and a peppermint hot chocolate while reading this series... I loved the world building in this book and the character developments. This book is the second in a trilogy and unearths lots of secrets literally. The love triangle is an emotional rollercoaster still unsure if she will ever pick one and if she does, which one? I'm still routing for Pax *Team Pax through and through* Tayo is growing on me, however I still do not trust him and I'm not sure why? I'm loving the magic building, someone in the book club mentioned it was like the room of requirement Harry Potter feel and now I totally agree. I feel I would be a "Heeler" and love to branch out too either side of the circle. @roxyeloiseofficial knows how to keep you wanting more.. the queen of cliffhangers! This was not ok and I'm so thankful she has given and ARC to book 3 🙏🏻 Swipe for synopsis -> but do not swipe if you haven't read book 1 as you don't want any spoilers! 🩶 P.S This book has consumed our book club to the point where we have a seperate Guidal chat 🫣 that's how much you need to download this book or order now!

ੈ✩‧₊˚ 𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 by clare oscongo — 𝑨𝑹𝑪 𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘 i wanted to love this book so badly. and the thing is, i honestly think it’s objectively a well-written book. it will resonate really well with the target audience, and i’m really happy people like deedee get to see themselves represented in YA literature. i just think that because i’m not really in that target audience, it didn’t resonate with me in the same way — and that doesn’t mean it’s a bad book, just that it’s not a book for me. midnights with you kind of reads like a tashie bhuiyan book, except that tashie is one of my all-time favorite authors, while i didn’t love this book. i think it’s because midnights was more heavy on the depression and family struggles part and lighter on the romance, with more of a stream of consciousness-type prose, while tashie’s books have a more traditional narration style and balance out all the different themes and elements. again, neither one is objectively better or worse, it just depends on the reader, and i’m the type that prefers the latter. that’s why i’m not giving it a star rating — i don’t think it would be fair, and i don’t want to dissuade anyone from reading it who might benefit from it more than me. nonetheless, i really appreciate the author and @netgalley sending me an e-arc of this book for early review! 🫶🏻 ——— #qotd what’s your favorite debut novel? ——— 🏷️ #yabooks #bookreview #bookrecommendations #bookstagram #books #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookworm #abookwormslife #reading p #readinglove #ilovereading #booktok #bookishreels #readingismagic #ireadya #ilovebooks #yafantasy #yafantasybooks #bookish

A warrior priest. A divine power… they would both rather her die than let her keep it. . Synopsis:  Nadiya has been told countless times her ambition to become the first no-name mage to hold a commander’s position amongst the Runai would get her killed. When the temple begins to collapse, her class is sent to evacuate everyone, but her determination to save lives and prove herself capable results in her and the High Priest’s apprentice, Lateo, being trapped inside. Despite his evident disdain for her and all of the mages, he leads them to an underground vault to take shelter while they wait to be rescued. However, as the roof caves in, and Nadiya tries to catch a holy relic, the Heart of Asentai, power floods her veins. When she wakes up, she’s become the Beata, a prophesied mythic figure with more magic than she could dream of. She’s sent away to be protected, but more importantly to protect everyone else from her and the power she can’t control. She’s now separated from the mages and stuck with the priest who hates her as her guard. Nadiya is desperate to turn herself back into a no-name mage and return to the Runai, but is that even possible? And can she do it before someone kills her to steal a power she doesn’t even want? .

I’ve read this series in audiobook format so when I learned that they were reprinting the series with stunning new covers I just had to run to the bookstore and get them! ( this cover is from the italian edition) This series is one of my favorites and I’ll never forget the absolute rollercoaster of emotions I went through while reading it. I’m so excited to read Heir and see a glimpse of old favorites and new characters!! I’m preparing myself for the emotional trauma 😂 🇮🇹 Ma quanto sono belle le nuove copertine di questa serie? 🥺 Avendola ascoltata tutta su audio , quando ho visto le nuove copertine ho dovuto comprarle per forza. Non vedo l’ora di vedere come saranno quelle per A Reaper at the gates e finalmente A sky Beyond the storm 👀 #anamberintheashes #sabatahir #yafantasybooks #fantasy

I have to be real… I get a little tired of the “surface level” descriptions of Where Darkness Cannot Follow, because, sure, it’s about people fighting monsters in a canyon and that’s cool, buuuut… It’s so much *more* than that to me. It’s REALLY about what’s going on inside my character’ hearts not what’s happening around them. WDCF is packed with messages that “just happened” as I wrote, and each one is deeply important to me. Some are only sampled in book 1 and will be deepened throughout the trilogy, but others we see in high focus in book 1. I pray that as people read my story, they will experience some form of healing or, at the least, feel encouraged. 💕 What messages are in your story? ••• Where Darkness Cannot Follow is coming to Kickstarter May 10th! Be sure to follow the prelaunch page to get in on early bird discounts and opportunities 😁 Comment “Early Bird” and I’ll DM you the link or you can find it in my bio ✨ ••• #yafantasybooks #cleanbookrevolution #cleanfiction #cleanfantasyauthor #cleanfantasy #cleanfantasyromance #indiebook #wheredarknesscannotfollow #christianfantasy #christianfantasywriter #realmieauthor

Saint by Adrienne Young ☠️ Do you ever buy books just because you need the set to be complete? I read Fable and Namesake last year, but I actually bought Saint before I read Namesake. I just knew the covers looked cool together and I wanted the set complete. Saint is The World of The Narrows Book 0, a prequel to Fable because it is about her parents. In my opinion, this book is meant to be read after reading Fable and Namesake, in publication order. I enjoyed getting to see the history of Fable’s parents and understanding Saint’s background. However, the plot just wasn’t exciting enough for me in the first half of the book. Eventually, it picked up and I was interested to see how things fell into place. Maybe I should have read it closer to the other two books, when I was still in my pirate era. I really love Saint as a character but I wanted more depth and romance in the story. This is a YA series, so I get that this could be a me problem, not a problem with the book. I think this is a great series for someone looking for pirate adventures, strong female characters, and a tad of romance. Saint is on my #backlistbooks24 challenge list. Another one done! ✅ #theworldofthenarrows #adrienneyoung #piratefantasybooks #yafantasybooks #piratebooks

Today's spotlight is on the Daughter of Hades! ‍ One of the main locations in the Daughter of Hades series is London! I have visited London a few times now and absolutely love it. There is a lot of history there and is fun to see all the different types of cultures within the city. My favorite place is Kensington Gardens and Palace! ‍ Chrys, Huntley, and AJ get to venture throughout the city in book 1, and Huntley shares a flat with Pothos in the other books of the series. It is funny I picked London when that is how it is set up in the book Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips (which I just read recently). ‍ What modern city do you think the Greek Gods would like to hang out in? . . . . . #yaauthor #indieauthor #fantasybook #authorsofig #folktales #mythologymemes #mythology #yabooks #yabookstagram #indieauthors #indieauthorsofinstagram #authorsofinsta #greekmythology #greekgods #myth #greekmyths #folklore #mythologyromance #mythsandlegends #yafantasy #yafantasybooks #yafantasyseries #yareads #fantasybooks #youngadultfantasy #fantasyreads #yaromance #yabookstagrammer #hades #persephone

✨Two for Tuesday✨ Q: What’s a sequel you’re excited for? I loved Threads That Bind when I got an ARC of it last April.

Do you tend to read popular books or less-known ones? . I don’t read a ton of mainstream, popular YA books. But after years of hearing about The Scorpio Races, I finally got myself a copy. I’ve only read the prologue so far, but I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the book! . Have you read The Scorpio Races? If so, what did you think? . . #readergirl #cozybookstagram #readersunite #bookstagrammer #yafantasybooks #bookphotography #thescorpioraces #horsebooks #redbooks

Friendly reminder! I know I’m talking about A CRUEL THIRST a lot, but let’s not forget about my original baby, SINNER’S ISLE. ABOUT SINNER’S ISLE A spellbinding romantic fantasy about a powerful witch who will do anything to escape the remote island she’s being held captive on, including blackmail a notorious, charming pirate who washes up on shore, from debut author Angela Montoya. Rosalinda is trapped on Sinner’s Isle, an island filled with young women like her—Majestics, beautiful witches loathed by society for their dangerous magic yet revered by powerful men who want to use them. For years, she has been kept under the watchful, calculating eye of Doña Lucia. Now eighteen, Rosa will be the prized commodity at this year’s Offering, a fiesta for the wealthy to engage in drink, damsels, and debauchery. That is why she must flee—before someone forces the vicious phantoms within her to destroy everything she touches. Handsome, swashbuckling Mariano has long sailed the high seas as the Prince of Pirates. Then the king’s fleet attacks his father’s infamous ship, leaving him marooned on Sinner’s Isle with only an enchanted chain meant to lead him to his heart’s desire. Instead, he falls into the hands of a brazen (although) bewitching headache—Rosa. Together they must outwit each other and their enemies before the Offering ends and it’s too late to escape the perils of Sinner’s Isle. #yafantasy #yafantasybooks #yafantasyauthor #yafantasyromance #fantasyromance #fantasyromancebooks #bookish

Review: This book took me by complete surprise. It has sat on my TBR for years and now I’m kicking myself for not picking it up sooner. First of all, the writing is magical. The lyrical prose made me swoon continuously. I loved how it felt like I was in the midst of a fairytale/folktale the whole way through. The characters were also very impressive. I embraced them immediately, flaws and all. I was mystified by the power dynamics and magical abilities of Tarisai and her fellow council members. The villain of the story was equally fascinating. Her motives for acting the way she did were clear, and at times, even understandable. It does not excuse her choices but it humanized her in a way that I appreciated. The pacing was also perfection in my opinion. There was time taken for character development but not so much that I got bored. The action was visceral and propelled the story forward. It made listening to this book very addictive. Overall, this is a superb fantasy novel. It’s both mesmorizing as well as memorable. I can’t wait to move on to book two! Go read this one right now!

Kirkus Reviews says my debut is “well-balanced”! 🍾 Needless to say, I’m thrilled. I’ll take a positive review any day. This review comes out in May’s issue tomorrow but you can read it now at the 🔗 in b!o! 📚 About RISE by Freya Finch For seventeen-year-old Bryn, being the youngest, messiest, most rebellious sister in a family of valkyries isn’t easy. Especially considering home is a Renaissance faire in Chicago full of costumed workers who see her as nothing more than a nuisance. When her mother disappears on a mission for Odin, Bryn begins having strange visions about the impending Ragnarök. Bryn senses their mother is in great danger, but her annoyingly perfect older sisters refuse to take her seriously. Their mother is, after all, captain of the valkyries.

Things only take a turn for the worse when a half human, half giant named Juniper crashes the party with a violent zombie in tow, confirming Bryn’s worst fears—her visions of Ragnarök are real. If that wasn’t enough, the faire’s mysterious new addition, Wyatt the Black Knight, just so happens to have a ferocious secret that threatens everyone around him. Determined to survive Ragnarök, Bryn, Juniper, and Wyatt team up to combat the horde of monsters that keeps appearing throughout the faire. But after Bryn ignores the call to deliver Wyatt to Odin’s eternal warriors in Valhalla, choosing to save his life instead, she starts to wonder if she’ll ever get this valkyrie thing right.

Whispers of divine interference—including sightings of the mischievous Loki—reach Bryn’s ears. Soon everyone at the faire becomes a suspect, leaving Bryn, her sisters, and their newfound friends the only ones who can stop the war to end all realms. Whether she’s ready or not, Bryn is about to learn how the ties between fate and choice are as interwoven and unbreakable as the bonds between sisters. #kirkusreviews #yafiction #bookreview #bookstagram #disneybooks #yafantasy #yafantasybooks #yaauthorlife #debutauthor #booksbooksbooks #youngadultbooks #youngadultfantasy #fantasyfiction #tbr #readmorebooks #booksta #bookstoread #yabookstagram #readersgonnaread #yafantasyauthor #comingsoon‼️ #toberead #2024debuts

✨ARC Review✨ HAPPY RELEASE DAY! Thank you to @netgalley and @pagestreetpublishing for this eARC in exchange for my honest review! ✨ 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲: To A Darker Shore 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: @schwartzwords 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲: April 30, 2024 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗲: YA Fantasy 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 ✨ 𝓢𝔂𝓷𝓸𝓹𝓼𝓲𝓼:  Plain, poor, plus-size, and autistic, Alesta grew up trying to convince her kingdom that she’s too useful to be sacrificed like so many of their country’s poor to appease the infernal monster across the poison sea in hell. When Alesta’s attempt to prove herself with inventions goes awry, her best friend and heir to the throne, Kyrian, takes the blame expecting leniency—and ends up tithed in her place. To end the sacrifices forever, Alesta plans to kill the monster that killed her friend. She travels to the depths of hell only to find Kyrian, alive, but monstrously transformed. There’s no escaping hell or their deeper feelings for one another, and the farther they go, the closer they come to uncovering a truth about the tithings that threatens to invoke the wrath of not only monsters but the gods as well. ✨ 𝓡𝓮𝓿𝓲𝓮𝔀: This was a lovely cozy fantasy YA novel with an amazing list of representation - plus sized rep, autistic rep, and LGBTQ+ rep. The beginning was a bit slow but once she got to the island things really picked up! I loved the romance between the FMC (Alesta) and the MMC (Kyr) - I’m not always a huge fan of the friends to lovers trope but thought this one did it well. I also really enjoyed the found family angle with Rina and Lor (and Mico but… that’s all I’m gonna say about him). While there were some plot twists that I predicted, there were plenty that I didn’t. I had a really good time reading this and definitely recommend it! ✨ QoTD: do you enjoy YA books? I find myself really enjoying them! ✨ #booksta #bookstagram #arcreview #arcreviewer #yafantasy #yafantasybooks #leanneschwartz #toadarkershore #bookreview #bookreviewer #fantasybooks #fantasy #pagestreetya

Swipe for the book quote! Destiny chose her, but did it ask for her consent? Can a mortal face a dragon and emerge unscathed? In this land of magic and treachery, the weight of prophecy rests upon Laura's shoulders. The dragon queen rules with an iron claw, her eyes hold secrets older than time. The people, desperate for salvation, turn their hopes toward Laura—a mortal girl, their reluctant champion. But what if she doesn't feel like fighting at all? What if it's all one big mistake? Find out by reading Tabula Smaragdina! I believe that everyone is the smith of their own fate. In my book, however, magical creatures rely on an ancient prophecy and hope that Laura will be their savior. What about you? Do you believe in destiny or fate? #yafantasybooks

Tips for naming characters and places. I'm not sure I have any tips for this. For places, my world is a different version of the US, so many city/town names are the same or similar. They might not be exact, but they're semi-based in real places. For character names, it really comes down to if it feels right for me. I actually can't write at all until I know my character's names, so this is really important to me. Finn was a very easy character to name. I think I might have had the name first, and a vague character followed it. On the other hand, Celeste is a name I wouldn't have picked out for anyone other than the Celeste in my book. I spend a lot of time searching name lists until I find one that I feel fits the vibe of the character. Overall, this is probably very unhelpful, but it is my process, so what can you do 🤷‍♀️ #writerfriendschallenge #writingcommunity #dystopian #writing #writersofinstagram #writer #yafantasybooks  #bookstagram

Book Cover reveal ✨ Daughter of Light and Dark will be available August 30th, 2024. She wanted one thing and one thing only, to free her mother’s Jinn from his golden ring, but to free one is to free them all. Accompanied by her Jinny Companion — the Lord of chains, and a dark presence stirring to free from within her, Mina sets on a journey to find all the eleven golden rings of the Kings of Jinn, her main mission overshadowed by scheming royals, a troubled friend, and a crumbling world.

So, here’s the thing. . Sometimes as a writer, it’s really tempting to try and be happy and perky all the time. To try and say all the good things about your books and to act like everything is going peachy! But, honestly... . It’s not always like that. . Being a writer has a lot of ups and downs. It’s a lot of, “Nobody cares if I write this, so why even bother?” and “Why am I wasting my life, trying to put words on the paper that nobody will ever read?” . It’s really disheartening sometimes. . Oftentimes, for me, writing is like trying to roll a huge boulder up the mountain. I see other people at the top. They’ve already made it. I see other people down below me, and I try and help them, but I’m struggling under the weight of my boulder. So when I try and reach down, I almost get crushed by the weight of my burden. . And when I try to ask for help, *I* feel like the burden. I feel like I’m begging. I feel like people will think I’m pathetic. “Do something clever! Make it feel organic! Don’t beg or whine or plead.” But sometimes, I just can’t. . So here I am, exhausted, pausing to ask a favor. I’m not trying to annoy you. I’m not trying to beg. But if you have a minute and have enjoyed my book, please review it. And if you haven’t read my book, please consider reading it and leaving a review, or recommending it to a reader you know. . Even your local authors need some encouragement once in a while. . #youarenotalone #icandoitwithabrokenheart #taylorswift #writingcommunity #embersgram #readercommunity #writingcommunityofinstagram #newread #parksandrecmemes #bookmemes #booksbooksbooks #yafantasy #yafantasybooks

~*~ Book Review ~*~ Graceling by Kristin Cashore is another book I've had sitting on my shelf for an embarrassingly long time and never got to. I think someone recommended it to me but I can't for the life of me remember who, so if you're reading this thank you for the recommendation. I absolutely adore the world of Graceling. The worldbuilding is fantastically done, and the concept of Graces--a cool twist on the magic/powers so common in fantasy--is fun and refreshing. The characters pulled me in right away and I loved every single one of them, though I wish a few had gotten more attention and "screen" time. You can't introduce me to an adorable science nerd prince and only give him a few scenes, guys. The thing that disappointed me about Graceling was the pacing. While the plot itself--full of court intrigue, mad kings, deadly treks through wild places, and romance, some of my favorite things--was thrilling, the pacing of it all just... didn't work. At times it dragged on and felt like nothing would ever happen and at times was rushed and lost crucial details. Some character arcs suffered as a result, particularly that of our protagonist Katsa. And after so much buildup, the fate befalling the villain, a truly chilling character worthy of an incredible climactic fight, was lackluster at best. All the pieces of Graceling were things I loved. The ideas were there, and they were wonderful, but the execution fell a little short in places. All in all I'd still say Graceling is worth a read, if just for the truly great cast of characters and fascinating world. But unfortunately this one isn't as memorable as I'd hoped. No book hangover for me this time. If you've read Graceling, what did you think? #bookstagram #bookish #bookreview #recentread #yafantasybooks #yafantasy #fantasyromance #graceling #kristincashore #kristincashorenovels

Was going to be done posting for the day, but came up with a Mattes worthy bad joke while chatting with @ree_thomas_author. Thanks for being my Watson! And I gotta say, I'm shocked this didn't make it into the actual book. Hissy Puss? Are you serious. Mattes, you actual troll. Get out of my head. And relax with the bad jokes. Except that would mean that I too have to stop with the jokes. Ah well. #bookstagram #yafantasybooks #yafantasyrecs #yafantasyauthor #yafantasyseries

The messy middle is for real. I’m in the thick of major revisions of book2s middle, not to mention in the middle of a trilogy. A lot of things coming together at this part… for the individual book as well as the series. And my scenes holding the information are a royal mess. I am using color-coded sticky notes to try to keep every chess move storyline and point straight. These are only the ones that are causing me trouble. so hard pulling everything together succinctly so these scenes do what they need to do…. And are pleasant to read. That last bit is the super hard part! 🤪 Anyone else use color-coded ink and color-coded sticky notes to try to keep topics and arcs straight? #authorbirgitschreiber #YAfantasybooks #YAfantasyseries #YAfatasy #Youngadultbooks #youngadultbook #bookstagram #YAbooks #booknerds #bookmagic #Fantasyworld #fantasyworlds #fantasynovel #fantasynovelseries #fantasyfiction #Fantasyfictionbooks #fantasyfictionauthor #fantasyseries #fantasyadventure #fantasybook #fantasybookseries #writerssupportingwriters #AuthorsSupportingAuthors #AmWriting #amrevising #revisions #indieauthorsunited
