🧛🏾‍♀️So, I decided to read a different book instead of jumping straight into Bloodmarked, I figured I would take a break from the world of The Legendborn Duology and knockout a bookclub read in the main time . I’ve heard wonderful things about House of Hunger and who doesn’t love Sapphic Vampires?

🧛🏾‍♀️The writing is captivating so far and the atmosphere is set, I’m almost to the point where Marion Shaw reaches The House of Hunger and it’s moving pretty quickly, I never finished Alexis Henderson’s debut novel but I’m liking this one much more already.

🧛🏾‍♀️Cleo says hello btw

LISTEN,

This book is something else. It’s amazing because it’s just hitting everything on the head. I need Black folks everywhere who have ever engaged in argument with some dumb fucking white people to read this.

I literally raised my hand to the lord when author Andre Henry spoke about blocking white fools and not engaging with them, period. “Friend” or not.

I love how he’s giving Black folks the words to explain the type of gaslighting that white people and non-Black people have attempted to engage in surrounding discussions of racism. They gaslight and then they cry as a distraction/diversion tactic.

Reading this book reminds me of why I read, the knowledge and camaraderie I seek from nonfiction on so many fronts. This book reminds me why it’s so important to share these narratives and align them with the larger audience.

All of these pages on here are telling hardcore truths.

(ID provided in Alt)

Lore of the Wilds by Analeigh Sbrana -- available for pre-order now!

A Library with a deadly enchantment.

A fae lord who wants in.

A human woman willing to risk it all for a taste of power.

In a land ruled by ruthless Fae, twenty-one-year-old Lore Alemeyu's village is trapped in a forested prison. Lore knows that any escape attempt is futile–her scars are a testament to her past failures. But when her village is threatened, Lore makes a desperate deal with a fae lord.

She convinces him that she will risk her life for wealth, but really she’s after the one thing the Fae covet above all: magic of her own.

As Lore navigates the hostile world outside, she’s forced to rely on two fae males to survive. When undeniable chemistry ignites, she’s not just in danger of losing her life, but her heart to the very creatures she can never trust.

Release day September 5th, 2023

More pre-order links are incoming as they generate.

Hey booklr! I'm posting this on behalf of my friend Analeigh Sbrana (@literaryxqueen on insta), who doesn't have a Tumblr. Her debut novel, Lore of the Wilds, went live for pre-order this morning, and I'd love it if we could show it some love.

Analeigh tried for two years to sell her story to trad-pub, but the vibe was that trad-pub didn't want to take the risk on a Black Fae fantasy adventure set in a breathtakingly descriptive magic kingdom in a market currently flooded with white fairy romances. So, she took matters into her own hands and joined the ranks of self-pub.

Full disclosure: I worked on this book as a proofreader, and I loved every minute of it. I kept forgetting I was supposed to be working and reading ahead. I scheduled a week to finish reading it in did it in 3 days, and the only reason it took so long was that I had to actually pause and work on it 😅.

So, if you like:

-🍄cottage core -✨fairy core -📚light/dark academia vibes -🌈a diverse cast of lgbtqia+ Black characters -💘romance -🧝🏾‍♀️ being kidnapped by a fairy prince to tidy up his cursed/enchanted library and coming into your own magical powers as a result, then Lore of the Wilds might just be for you!

Here, have a sneak peek of what the physical books will look like:

(ID in alt) The book will eventually be available in eBook, paperback, and hardback--Ana's just having a time getting the links to generate. I'll post them as soon as they're live.

Please do consider giving LoTW some love. It's such a fantastic book, and I'd love to see it thrive where trad-pub left it to fail. Thank you 💖

It's really hard to explain to people that one of my main hobbies is painting my nails to match books I read (and it's even harder to explain how time consuming and challenging it can be)
