I am currently reading Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of faeries and I absolutely love it. It feels like a whimsical academia book and I am here for those vibes. I really like Emily and Wendell interacting with each other.

📚 Currently Reading: These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong
I needed something to listen to the other day while I was out and about galavanting the museum, I spun the wheel and it told me to continue on with the sequel of These Violent Delights.. only problem, I couldn’t remember book 1. SO, I’m now currently reading that and will be moving straight on to Our Violent Ends once I’m done.
UPDATE: 02/04/24
I have finished These Violent Delights.. and I never paid any attention to the audiobook.. OOPS 😂
I got enough of the story to continue on to the next book, but please don't ask me for too much information because I simply cannot give it to you!
I kept my original rating of 4⭐ as I don't feel like it was fair of me to give it a new rating with me not really paying attention.
Have you guys read the series yet?

I must have saved my country in a past life or something because THE HURRICANE WARS was FairyLoot’s adult subscription box pick for the month of October!!! From the exclusive cover and endpapers by the unparalleled @afterblossom to the exquisite foiling and sprayed edges to the sparkly hardback, this edition is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever held in my hands. Thank you, FairyLoot team, for this masterpiece!
Tumblr media
To discuss the HURRICANE WARS writing journey and sing more of this SE’s praises, I’m hopping on Instagram Live with the official FairyLoot account this Monday, November 27th, at 6 PM GMT+8. Come through and watch me be awkward as per ush—although this time I’ll have have this absolute treasure to wave around, thank god 🧚‍♀️

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I just wanna share just how beautiful these FairyLoot exclusive editions of @aliceoseman 's Heartstopper graphic novels are! The intricate drawing behind the sleeves and the spine of the book!! *chef's kiss* It's perfection!!
I'm looking forward to the 4th volume! If FairyLoot ever decides to release one in the future 👀
#10, #11 & #12 of my Alice Oseman book collection
[PSA: The number does not mean anything! It's just the order of when I bought/received the book.]

Special Editions
The Raven Cycle FairyLoot Edition
These special editions of The Raven Cycle were originally scheduled for May. Due to a publication issue, they were delayed until "August-September". They finally arrived in the last weekend of September... and my copy of 'The Raven Boys' was bound upside-down.
FairyLoot were really good about it, they agreed to send another one out. But it took ages to get a response, so it was a couple of weeks before they sent it out, and then the courier delivered it to a completely different address! Literally, one nowhere near my house. Again, I contacted FairyLoot, and they followed up with the courier. This took even longer, but after another two weeks, they concluded that the package had been lost, and they sent out yet another replacement.
So, not only was the first package four months later than originally expected, but the replacement book took nearly two more months to arrive!!

The dust jackets on these special editions are very closely modelled on the standard covers. The thing I didn't like about the original covers is that they were all different colours, so didn't look that good lined up together. These ones fix that, by all being blue! It's just a shame that the spines look so... basic. Almost amateur, in fact.
The back covers are different from the standard ones, though, and they each feature a quote from the books. This is the great thing about special editions - they're designed to look good from every angle.
The hardcases are also really cool - each has a super elaborate tarot-style design on the front, representing: Blue, Ronan, Adam, and Gansey. No designs for Noah or Henry, unfortunately, but I guess they aren't really "main" characters in the same way the others are. The foiling is only on the front cover, I'd have loved the back to be foiled as well, even if it was just with the same design.

The interior artwork on the dustjackets is impressive. They work as reversible jackets, so you can choose the design you want to display. Each features artwork of the character that matches the hardcase design, and the quote on the back is the same as on the outer dustjacket. I really love the artwork on these, but they do look way less professional than the blue/white covers, so I'll have the other ones on display instead.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Other than the outrageous lateness of these editions, I have two major disappointments.
The first is kind of my fault, I didn't manage my expectations well enough. I made the assumption that these would be the same size as the standard hardcover editions, which I own (see above), but have taken the multi-coloured dustjackets off. I was hoping I could put the lovely new blue jackets on these, so that they would match the rest of my Stiefvater books, which are all blue. Then I could display the new books with their gorgeous foiled hardcase spines on display (also see above). It was not to be. The FairyLoot editions are much taller than the standard books, so I can't swap the jackets over! It also means they don't fit on the shelf with the rest of the books. Fortunately, I think the OwlCrate editions will match the rest of the books.
The second disappointment is not my fault. There's slight, superficial damage to the books. It's not bad enough that FairyLoot would replace them, but it's enough to be annoying with how much they cost. The third book, especially, was quite crushed around the bottom edge. I've tried my best to straighten it out, but it's still very noticeable once you're close up.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The endpapers are my favourite part of these editions! I love that each one is different - four books means eight gorgeous pieces of artwork! I love the scenes chosen for each book, and the illustrations are so beautiful!
The artist who designed these endpapers also designed the Raven Boys book sleeve I got in my first ever book subscription box - and it's still one of my favourite items I've ever received!
These editions also have silver gilded edges, printed foil signatures, a bound-in author letter, and ribbon bookmarks.
There's so much going on with these books, I should be absolutely delighted with them, but the ridiculously long delay in receiving them has kind of just soured my mood towards them a bit.

Wow, first off, I can't believe I abandoned you all. And second, I am so excited to try and get back into blogging! I just wanted a space again to rant and rave about my thoughts on books, but not necessarily in my book journal, but then I remembered here, and how this tumblr account used to be my online book journal. Anyway, back to todays scheduled program xo
The City of Stardust by Georgia Summers..
It gets a 2⭐️ from me.
This book was so weird for me. I got this edition from Fairy Loot back in their January Adult box, and I got my partner to choose a book for me to read, he landed on this. I was so excited to read it because its giving Velaris vibes, it's giving fantastical feelings..
It gave me.. nothing.
Firstly, the writing style: I loved! It was honestly the only reason I carried on reading, it was so beautifully written and compelling. It's just a shame that the plot wasn't all put together and the characters were only half explored, to me anyway.
Storywise: The plot was interesting. A secret world, that only people called Scholars can access with keys made of this special metal; God-metal/reveurite. Violet Every, our MC, is hidden away from this world, by her 2 uncles, for her safety, because the family is cursed.
Violet's mother was next to be taken away, but she leaves her daughter, Violet, in the hands of her brothers to go off to look for a cure to this curse.
It's honestly a hot mess. So many plotholes, like.. why couldn't one of the brothers be taken? Why must it now be Violet who is to be taken? The author talks alot about Violet's talent in manipulating reveurite but we never see it until the very end for 1 quick second.
Aleksander, my goodness. I wanted to whack that lad so many times. The author wrote him very well, had me compelled with him, and then was thrust back to reality of him and made me want to square go him.
Penelope being the "Bad guy".. there was so much more Georgia could of done with this character.
You're probably reading this like, "Louise, babe, this isn't making a lick of sense.. what are you talking about?" and you know what? You're right.. because to me, this book made no sense.
If you've read this, please let me know how you felt about this!
