#Indiecember Day 13 The next indie book in my TBR is Awakening Shadows. This story sounds so bad ass and is possibly perfect for both Young Adult and New Adult readers. Swipe the picture to see what it's about as it has a chosen one princess, magic, demons, and probably epic battles. Can you tell I haven't read it yet haha! The Navarre Chronicles book 1 Awakening Shadows is by @sydneysbookshelf #Bookstagram #Books #AmReading #YoungAdult #YA #TNC #AwakeningShadows #TheNavarreChronicles #ChosenOne #Prophecy #Prophecies #Demon #IndieBook #IndieAuthor #Fantasy #HighFantasy #EpicFantasy #FantasyBook #BooksAreMagic #BooksAreMagical #BooksOfIg #BooksOfInstagram #ReadersOfIg #ReadersOfInstagram #NBB #NBBBook #NerdyBookBox https://www.instagram.com/p/CXbvSHgL1Vr/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hello everyone!! Today I am really excited to share with you my review for Awakening Shadows by Sydney Hawthorn (@sydneysbookshelf) This post is in collaboration with Book of Matches Media (@bookofmatchesmedia) and the author who gifted me an ebook copy if the book. Awakening Shadows is the first book in The Navarre Chronicles and it is a YA Dark fantasy with mild steam/heat level. It was published in September 2020 by Lilac Daggers Press LLC. If you like Throne of Glass, Shadow and Bone, The Starchaser Saga and Divine Blood by Beck Michaels you will love this book too. *** MY REVIEW Awakening Shadows is a fantasy romance book that I really enjoyed. I liked the writing style of the author and the world that she builds around the story. The book has the perfect amount of adventure and there is also magic and mystery that I really love. I enjoyed the characters and the slow burn romance between Quinn and Joseline. My favourite is Quinn and I also enjoyed the dynamics between Evalyn and Dax. I will definitely continue with the series, as the next book Whispering Shadows will be published really soon! Rating: 4 Stars *** You can find the purchase link on my Linktree as well as the link to my blog post *** Cupcake from Whimsy Mug Topsies by @canxdancexreads .Use my code BOOKNOTES10 to save. *** #SydneyHawthorn #AwakeningShadows #AwakeningShadowsARCTour #BOMMTours #BOMMIndieAuthors #BOMMARCTour #BookOfMatchesMedia #booksofig #bookishlife #booklove #booksonbooks #bookloversofinstagram #readingtogether #bibliophilelife #unitedbookstagram #bookstack #readingtime #greekbookstagram #instavivlio #vivlio #diavazo #eucitesc #mybookfeatures #bdstars #booknotes_athina (at Káto Zákros, Lasithi, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQTWa5crS3T/?utm_medium=tumblr

✨✨✨𝓗𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓸, 𝓫𝓸𝓸𝓴𝓲𝓼𝓱 𝓯𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓼!✨✨✨⁣⁣ ⁣ 𝐐𝐎𝐓𝐃: What’s the bookish question that stumps you the most?⁣ ⁣ 𝐀𝐎𝐓𝐃: I swear my brain short circuits whenever someone asks me what my fave book is 🤣 Not a series, not the top ten, but just a single book 😂 ⁣ ⁣ Another one is, “what are you going to read next?” Well, for one, I’m a mood reader but I love joining book tours like this one with 𝐁𝐎𝐌𝐌 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 and this ARC Tour for 𝐒𝐲𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐇𝐚𝐰𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐧’𝐬 “𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐬”🥰 It’s the first book in 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 and it’s already released so check out the link in my bio to grab your copy 😉⁣ ⁣ 𝘼 𝙋𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨.

Sheltered from the world around her, naïve Princess Joseline is no stranger to the responsibility and isolation of being heir. But when an attack on her eighteenth birthday reveals the looming return of the legendary demon king, shattering every protective boundary around her, Joseline is thrown full force into the long-forgotten prophecy and the role she plays in his demise.  Saved from Aeron’s clutches by a secret organization of warriors trained to protect her, Joseline is forced to choose between her curiosity to understand their motives and her duty to her people’s safety. Swept into the impending war threatening her country, Joseline must learn at all costs not only to fight, but to control the ancient magical power awakening within her.  Her life and the lives of her people depend on it.⁣ ⁣ #TheBookwormPrincess👸🏻⁣ #SydneyHawthorn #AwakeningShadows #AwakeningShadowsARCTour #BOMMTours #BOMMIndieAuthors #BOMMARCTour #BookOfMatchesMedia⁣ #bibliophile #bookstagram #books #readersofig #igreads #booklover #bookaholic #mybookfeatures #bookstagramcommunity #booklovers #PageTurnersPH #bookstagramfeaturesonly #booksbooksbooks #bookworm #bookdragon https://www.instagram.com/p/CPLRb5XLgTQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

“What we live by, we die by.”

‘Robert Frost‘ Quotes.

Hadn’t that been what he’d said that day? Clad in midnight fabrics, Shen could be merely a shadow of a tree or a rock by the water, and anyone passing by might wonder at how the tree’s leaves bend towards the water, as if peering into it or in mourning. Even in meditation, there’s a shadow there. Sometimes fleeting and sometimes lurking, just out of his field of vision, moving like the river’s water whenever he doesn’t look directly at it.

To live by balance is to die by it as well. He knows that. He’s always known it. And yet ...

“What is it that you live by...?” He asks the river, yet it gives him no answer.

The Stars will not speak to him.

#forgive me this was going to be a drabble but it sizzled and died #if you want an actual response omg just let me know or send another..............;#awakeningshadows #inquiries;

Final day of the book box challenge! - So I actually took this pic last month after getting the box in the mail as my usual unboxing pics, but then I decided to join NBB Book Box Challenge and it all worked out lol. This box was very gorgeous. I love the galaxy pin hoop, the pin, the book, the journal, the map! EVERYTHING! Oh man I hope you guys give this box a try, in fact, seeing as I have many indie author friends, I'm going to expect your books in one of these boxes now lol. Anyway, the next box now available for purchase is a horror fantasy novel and I've NEVER read one of those before. I can't wait to read all these books. Happy week all! @nerdybookbox Items: Awakening Shadows by @sydneysbookshelf Enamel Pin by @celestialwoodsshoppe Galaxy Pin Hoop by @createdbyraemn Journal by @crabapplebooks Bath Salts by @tub.tonics Cinnamon Hot Chocolate by @kishicandles Polaroid by @mercuriobebop Bookmark by @silver_wheel_press_designs #KimmersBooks #Bookstagram #Writergram #Read #Reader #Reading #Book #Write #Writer #Writing #AmReading #AmWriting #NBBDec2020 #NBB #Fantasy #AwakeningShadows #NerdyBookBox #BookBox #Fae #BookBoxChallenge #HighFantasy #BooksAreMagic #BooksAreMagical #BooksOfIg #BooksOfInstagram #ReadersOfIg #ReadersOfInstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CK4jo7uAXyG/?igshid=1quo2ky85qgf6

Day 4 of book box challenge, here I go. - Ok, so another funny story. During Indiecember I had a short chat with the author and how much she loved the idea of Indiecember. Unbeknownst to my dumbass, I told her that I will get her book when I can after I break though most of my TBR... I forgot her book was IN the NBB December book box 🤦🏻‍♀️ I felt so embarrassed after opening this box and seeing her book in it lmao. Oh man, well, now I have it, and it's going in my 2022 TBR. Trust me when I say that pile is already building up FAST! - So, I don't know who did the map for this book. I'm not sure if it was the author or someone else. The spoiler card didn't say this time. If you know please let me know so I can tag the artist. If it was the author, then I'll delete this part. @nerdybookbox Items: Awakening Shadows by @sydneysbookshelf #KimmersBooks #Bookstagram #Writergram #Read #Reader #Reading #Book #Write #Writer #Writing #AmReading #AmWriting #NBBDec2020 #NBB #Fantasy #AwakeningShadows #NerdyBookBox #BookBox #Fae #BookBoxChallenge #HighFantasy #Polaroid #BathSalt #BooksAreMagic #BooksAreMagical #BooksOfIg #BooksOfInstagram #ReadersOfIg #ReadersOfInstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CKuNItAA9KA/?igshid=ur95fx28czxd

Day 3 of book box challenge, here I go. - Oh my goodness, these items are just too cute! It's been such a long time since I've relaxed with these kinds of bath salts. It smells really nice. Now I just need to have the time to use it lol. As for the polaroid, it's so cute! It's tiny, but so cute. I kind of want one made for TCfFP, RaF, AND VTCoY right now! Gotta get the money now lol. @nerdybookbox Items: Polaroid is by @mercuriobebop Bath Salt is by @tub.tonics Awakening Shadows by @sydneysbookshelf #KimmersBooks #Bookstagram #Writergram #Read #Reader #Reading #Book #Write #Writer #Writing #AmReading #AmWriting #NBBDec2020 #NBB #Fantasy #AwakeningShadows #NerdyBookBox #BookBox #Fae #BookBoxChallenge #HighFantasy #Polaroid #BathSalt #BooksAreMagic #BooksAreMagical #BooksOfIg #BooksOfInstagram #ReadersOfIg #ReadersOfInstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CKj6CIlAklV/?igshid=lhexeizebapo

Ok so I've never taken part in a book box challenge before, so here I go. - Oh wow this box was AMAZING! There were so many items I was not expecting, the journal in this pic being one of them! It looks SO freaking pretty. Now I just need to decide what to write in it lol. The bookmark here is just as beautiful and I'm so curious as to what the symbols on here mean/represent. Also, there's a funny story involving the items in this box, but I'll share them in the other posts with those items. I can't wait to show you guys the rest. - Well, I'm a dunts. I took to long in deciding whether or not to buy the next box and now the new January box is sold out. Dammit, I should've bought it when they announced 80% sold out. *Sigh* 😔 Hopefully I can buy the next box. @nerdybookbox Items: Bookmark is by @silver_wheel_press_designs Journal is by @crabapplebooks Awakening Shadows is by @sydneysbookshelf #KimmersBooks #Bookstagram #Writergram #Read #Reader #Reading #Book #Write #Writer #Writing #AmReading #AmWriting #NBBDec2020 #NBB #Fantasy #AwakeningShadows #NerdyBookBox #BookBox #Fae #BookBoxChallenge #HighFantasy #Bookmark #BookJournal #BooksAreMagic #BooksAreMagical #BooksOfIg #BooksOfInstagram #ReadersOfIg #ReadersOfInstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CKPXlTuAdgW/?igshid=bo1641grydyx
