★ What are some of your go-to book recommendations? I have a lot, but The Lunar Chronicles by @marissameyerauthor is my go-to recommendation for folks new to Young Adult or returning to Young Adult! It’s such a fun series, and incorporates a lot of what I love of YA books.

💬 I have a random fun question for today! What three emojis do you think best describe you? Today I’m thrilled to feature Morrighan by @maryepearson! Thank you to @fiercereads for sending me a copy of the book! A richly illustrated and romantic origin story of Mary E. Pearson's Remnant universe, the world of the BookTok sensations Dance of Thieves and Vow of Thieves and the New York Times-bestselling Remnant Chronicles. Before borders were drawn, before treaties were signed, before wars were waged anew, before the great kingdoms of the Remnant were even born and the world of old was only a hazy slate of memory told in story and legend, a girl and her family fought to survive. And that girl’s name was Morrighan. Discover the origin story of the Remnant universe, penned by the New York Times–bestselling master storyteller Mary E. Pearson, in this lush collector’s edition prequel with lavish illustrations, a romance for the ages, and a magic that stirs the heart. . . . h a s h t a g s : #morrighan #maryepearson #fiercereads #storygramtours #bookworm #booknerd #booksbooksbooks #beautifulbooks #readingisfun #desksetup #desktop #workspace #bookstack #bookgram #bookish #bookphotography #coffeeandseasons #coffeeandbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CljSNKquNum/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🦇 A Crown So Cursed Book Review 🦇

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

❝ Don't forget to mind your Muchness, and keep moving forward. ❞

❓ #QOTD What's your favorite fantasy retelling OR your favorite character from Alice in Wonderland? ❓ 🦇 The long-awaited final installment of L.L. McKinney's Nightmare-Verse trilogy is finally here! The Nightmares that are leaking into the mortal realm are no longer so easily defeated with Figment Blades. With the monsters now seeping through the Veil, Alice and her crew must save Wonderland from itself. Between Hatta's Madness, Humphrey and Chess's strange, shared nightmares, and Alice's family in danger (again), it's almost more than Alice can take. Can she confront Wonderland's dark past to save the mortal realm's potentially darker future?

[ Find my full review below or on: Goodreads | Insta | StoryGraph ]

💜 L.L. McKinney is a magical moon goddess who weaves words with exquisite, unmeasured Muchness. As always, McKinney excels with both her word choice and dialogue, painting vivid pictures and powerful, raw characters that bounce right off the page. There's no refuting how fun, creative, and enchanting the entire Nightmare-Verse series is, and McKinney's spellbinding prose is perfect for an Alice in Wonderland retelling. How can you not love the badass, multi-fandom-loving bi baby girl that is McKinney's Alice? From the first chapter, readers are rushed off their feet, out of this reality, and into Alice's. Every fight scene conjures spectacular, action-packed imagery. Each line of dialogue sounds like you're talking to a familiar, fascinating friend. Alice in Wonderland is one of my all-time favorite classics, and no one has rewritten that world quite like McKinney has. I devoured this book in one sitting, as I'm sure many readers will (after all, we've been waiting since 2019 for this final installment, and it's finally here!).

🦇 Though I'm sure this will be a five-star read for many, this is my least favorite of the Nightmare-Verse books. The entire story, while action-packed, seemed rushed, as if the author was trying to fill 300+ pages to get to the grand (unsurprising) reveal. There are many plot points that are never fully resolved. For starters, the relationships in the book are a mess (Alice/Hatta, Alice/Chess, Chess/Humphrey, and Alice/Haruka...the latter seems like it was thrown in there to remind us that Alice is bi, even though she's kind of dating Hatta at the time?). There's a reveal involving Hatta, Chess, and Humphrey that gets mind-wiped, leaving us with no resolution there (a reveal that complicates the confusing ships mentioned above). Perhaps the most frustrating is the reliance on magic as a quick fix to a messy plot. The majority of the story is meant to get Alice to an epic final battle, but there aren't enough clue drops or slight reveals placed throughout the story to build suspense or intrigue.

🦇 Recommended to fans of Alice in Wonderland retellings, action-packed fantasy fight scenes, and magical mayhem.

The wonderful @lbardugo has a really great tradition of starting the new year off spending a little time doing things that you want to do going forward into the new year. She calls it, “Begin as you mean to go on.” You can learn more about it by heading to her Instagram or checking out #baymtgo. 🖤 One of the things that I am being intentional about doing today is taking care of all the little piles of things that I have around the house that I always plan to go through “eventually.” Of course eventually never comes and I find myself just moving these annoying little piles around my house and letting it stress me out. No more of that in 2023! 🖤 I have had two piles of #grishaverse goodies sitting on my living room floor since Fall! I kept meaning to take the time to take pictures of it to share here. Since these are @lbardugo related this seemed like the day to post it. 🖤 The first photo shows some wonderful goodies that @fiercereads sent to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Shadow and Bone, as well as the collectors edition. 🖤 The second picture shows the many goodies I came home with after attending the Grisha Gala to celebrate ten years in October. The photos after that are just a few of the highlights from that incredible event. (I also included a split photo of the very first time I met Leigh back before Shadow and Bone came out and the two of us at the Grisha Gala.) 🖤 Finally, I had to find room in my Grisha box (from when Ruin and Rising was released) to store my new goodies and get them off my floor!😂 It made me feel all nostalgic so there’s a photo of a few of my favorite things that I’ve picked up over the years at different events or been sent by amazing friends and @fiercereads. 🖤 I’m very much looking forward to bringing positive habits into the new year, and at least another 10 years of stories from Leigh! https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm40A4cLsDZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

QTOD: Do you like books with multiple POVs? I usually enjoy books with multiple point of views as long as there aren’t too many characters. It’s a lot harder for me to keep things straight if we’re getting info and thoughts and feelings from too many sources. But on the flip side, sometimes I find single POVs a little too stagnant… — [Image description: The book, We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal open to its title page.] . . . ⚔ challenges #AllTheBooksAug22 [hero or villain] #MyFictionalMusings [multiple POVs] . #WeHuntTheFlame #HafsahFaizal #FierceReads #YAFantasy #bookgram #booksbooksbooks #bookishlife #readingtime📖 #instabooks #yareads https://instagr.am/p/ChS3UUitWec/
