Happy Friday Eve! What 2018 book release is still on your TBR?
•
I have been excited for Sawkill Girls since it was announced, but sadly, I still have yet to read it. As a mood reader, I keep telling myself autumn will be the perfect time to read it. Crisp, cool weather. Surrounded by the beauty of crunchy orange, yellow, and purple leaves. Yes! I am definitely going to read this book during autumn.
•
Synopsis:
Beware of the woods and the dark, dank deep.
🍂
He’ll follow you home, and he won’t let you sleep.
🍂
Who are the Sawkill Girls?
🍂
Marion: the new girl. Awkward and plain, steady and dependable. Weighed down by tragedy and hungry for love she’s sure she’ll never find.
🍂
Zoey: the pariah. Luckless and lonely, hurting but hiding it. Aching with grief and dreaming of vanished girls. Maybe she’s broken—or maybe everyone else is.
🍂
Val: the queen bee. Gorgeous and privileged, ruthless and regal. Words like silk and eyes like knives, a heart made of secrets and a mouth full of lies.
Their stories come together on the island of Sawkill Rock, where gleaming horses graze in rolling pastures and cold waves crash against black cliffs. Where kids whisper the legend of an insidious monster at parties and around campfires.
Where girls have been disappearing for decades, stolen away by a ravenous evil no one has dared to fight… until now.

What is the latest book release that you have purchased?
•
I haven’t read many reviews of this book but I do keep seeing the cover pop up on my feed. I love when publishers add birds, especially crows and ravens, to covers. This detail hits my “auto buy” notch so hard.
•
Synopsis:
In the tropical kingdom of Rhodaire, magical, elemental Crows are part of every aspect of life...until the Illucian empire invades, destroying everything.
🐦
That terrible night has thrown Princess Anthia into a deep depression. Her sister Caliza is busy running the kingdom after their mother's death, but all Thia can do is think of all she has lost.
🐦
But when Caliza is forced to agree to a marriage between Thia and the crown prince of Illucia, Thia is finally spurred into action. And after stumbling upon a hidden Crow egg in the rubble of a rookery, she and her sister devise a dangerous plan to hatch the egg in secret and get back what was taken from them.

“I remembered that the real world was wide, and that a varied field of hopes and fears, of sensations and excitements, awaited those who had the courage to go forth into its expanse, to seek real knowledge of life amidst its perils.”―Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Today would have been my mom’s 60th birthday. I still cannot believe it will be four years this year that she has been gone. Two months after she passed away I began book blogging as a form of coping and connecting with other people who also shared a special love for books.

When I was growing up, my family didn’t have a lot of money. But I was very lucky to have parents that provided unconditional love and always pushed me and my siblings to be ourselves. My mom taught us compassion and understanding. My mom took me to libraries and bookstores—opening new worlds and pages filled with fierce women, teenage wizards, and determined dreamers.

I read Jane Eyre because of my mom, and this book forever changed my world. I became a bibliophile, an anglophile, a feminist, a Gothic literature connoisseur, a dreamer, a fighter, and a liberal. I even got a Master’s in English Literature. Because of my mom, I wanted more than imaginative pages; I wanted to learn, to understand, and help mold a world that is better than anything I could imagine. Her footsteps created my path to pursue my dreams. Happy Birthday, Mom. Your love, words, wisdom, laughter, and determination are forever embedded in me and I am forever grateful that I am your daughter.
A lot of really exciting titles. I can’t wait for There Will Come a Darkness, Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts and many others.
I just got an ARC of There Will Come A Darkness and it sounds so good.
I am currently reading it! I know it’s early, but I couldn’t wait anymore.
hahaha, I don’t blame you.
I just couldn’t help myself.
Oooh snap with a few of these!
So many people are excited for The Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo.
