[Book Tour] Hello everyone!! Today I am really excited to share with you Midnight Strikes by Zeba Shahnaz (@zaybashahwrites), which is a YA Fantasy. The book will be released tomorrow March 14th. *** About the book: In this explosive fantasy debut with a time-loop twist, a provincial girl must work with a roguish prince to stop an attack on the royal family and escape a nightmarish curse that forces them to relive the same night again and again. Seventeen-year-old Anaïs just wants tonight to end. As an outsider at the kingdom’s glittering anniversary ball, she has no desire to rub shoulders with the nation’s most eligible (and pompous) bachelors—especially not the notoriously roguish Prince Leo. But at the stroke of midnight, an explosion rips through the palace, killing everyone in its path. Including her. The last thing Anaïs sees is fire, smoke, chaos . . . and then she wakes up in her bedroom, hours before the ball. No one else remembers the deadly attack or believes her warnings of disaster. Not even when it happens again. And again. And again. If she’s going to escape this nightmarish time loop, Anaïs must take control of her own fate and stop the attack before it happens. But the court’s gilded surface belies a rotten core, full of restless nobles grabbing at power, discontented commoners itching for revolution, and even royals who secretly dream of taking the throne. It’s up to Anaïs to untangle these knots of deadly deceptions . . . if she can survive past midnight. *** You can find the rest of the tour schedule on their website (link on my Linktree). *** @tbrbeyondtours #MidnightStrikes #TBRBeyondTours #ZebaShahnaz #fantasyreader #fantasybook #bookaddict #bookcommunity #readingismagic #bookblogger #bookreviewer #greekbookstagram #instavivlio #vivlio #diavazo #eucitesc #mybookfeatures #over30sbookstagram #bookstamums #booknotes_athina (at Sitia , Crête) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvafWHLH2e/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello everyone!! We are in the middle of the week, so let's talk about a book that I read recently as part of the #btww reasalong. Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Fairies by Heather Fawcett is a book that I enjoyed but not as much as I was expecting. It is written in the form of Emily's diary, which makes the writing a little dry. However, we get to see Emily's thoughts in more detail. I found the story really interesting,with some really good twists. Our main character Emily is very introverted and thorny. Also, I wanted the romance to be more built up. It felt a little flat and the book wouldn't have been different without it. Overall, the book is cute, funny and light and full of faerie lore that I loved. Rating: 3 Stars *** #EmilyWildesEncyclopaediaofFaeries #NetGalley #review #bookreview #LMSMarch2023 #fantasyreader #fantasybook #bookaddict #bookcommunity #readingismagic #bookblogger #bookreviewer #greekbookstagram #instavivlio #vivlio #diavazo #eucitesc #mybookfeatures #over30sbookstagram #bookstamums #booknotes_athina (at Sitia , Crête) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpiZwcILn9b/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today I want to share with you The Moth Keeper by Kay O’Neill (@strangelykatie), which is a middle-grade fantasy graphic novel about passion, duty, and found family. The book will be published tomorrow March 7th. *** About the book: Anya is finally a Moth Keeper, the protector of the lunar moths that allow the Night-Lily flower to bloom once a year. Her village needs the flower to continue thriving and Anya is excited to prove her worth and show her thanks to her friends with her actions, but what happens when being a Moth Keeper isn’t exactly what Anya thought it would be? The nights are cold in the desert and the lunar moths live far from the village. Anya finds herself isolated and lonely. Despite Anya’s dedication, she wonders what it would be like to live in the sun. Her thoughts turn into an obsession, and when Anya takes a chance to stay up during the day to feel the sun’s warmth, her village and the lunar moths are left to deal with the consequences. K. O’Neill brings to life a beautifully illustrated fantasy world about responsibility to yourself and your community. The Moth Keeper is filled with magic, hope, and friendship. *** Check out www.tbrbeyondtours.com for the full tour schedule *** @tbrbeyondtours #TheMothKeeper #TBRBeyondTours #KayONeill #fantasyreader #fantasybook #bookaddict #bookcommunity #readingismagic #bookblogger #bookreviewer #greekbookstagram #instavivlio #vivlio #diavazo #eucitesc #mybookfeatures #over30sbookstagram #bookstamums #booknotes_athina (at Sitia , Crête) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpdUhZ0LPf0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello everyone!! Do you like reading non-fiction books? I really like reading non-fiction books that focus on the history of something. I find them very informative and a great palette cleanser between my usual reads. A Little History of Science traces the march of science through the centuries. The book is well-written and you can easily read and comprehend it regardless of your knowledge in the subject. A great read for children and adults alike.
