QOTD: Which SJM couple is your favourite? Or if you haven't read any Sarah J Maas books, tell me one of your other favourite fictional couples. I love them all, especially the Throne of Glass couples. But I must say my top faves are Elide and Lorcan and I'm sad we only got to see their interactions in two books. I would read an entire series just about them. #reppost This booksleeve and fabric bookmark were #gifted from @craft_of_stars. the booksleeve actually buttons closed!! I love this design so much. Get yourself a booksleeve or fabric bookmark at the Craft of Stars store (link in my bio) and use BOOK10 at checkout to save! There is also a giveaway going on! Check out the latest Craft of Stars post for all the entry details. But essentially Jess wants to know how you use your CoS items! #mycraftofstars are used in a few different ways. My mermaid pouch (from a self care pack) is used to store my @booktineusbookmarks, and this Terrasen booksleeve is currently used to store all my CoS scrunchies 😂😂 //CHALLENGES// #AmpersandFeb21 - Love #gothandliterature - Prophecy #LMSFebruary2021 - Book Girlfriends #MyFandomObsessionsFeb21 - Aslan: true love #queensoffebruary - Swoon-worthy romance #Bookishbellesfeb21 - Genre Spotlight: Romance #starsinthedark - a slow burning flame #BookBookOwlFruityFebruary - Choc Dipped Strawberries: Romance #arcflames21 - OTP you don't talk about enough #RFABFeb21 - Valentine's Day //HASHTAGS// #sarahjmaas #bookmerch #booksleeve #bookmark #throneofglass #tog #bookstagram #popularbooks #OTP #hardback #hardcover #bookstack #craftofstars #auskiwibooksta #yafantasy #bookstagram #bookphotos #booknerdigan https://www.instagram.com/p/CLRQlwoA5lj/?igshid=71to48q6f1ip

QOTD: Tell me one of your favourite underrated authors JULIET MARILLIER!!!! She writes beautiful historical fantasy novels, almost all of them featuring meddling fae and folklore. I own almost everything she's written now (Exclusing some anthologies) and only have the Fortriu trilogy and Foxmask to finish. Her standalone, Heart's Blood, is my ALL TIME FAVOURITE Beauty and the Beast retelling. //CHALLENGES// #arcflames21 - You'd love to visit #Bookishbellesfeb21 - A Royal Romance #gothandliterature - Cursed #MyFandomObsessionsFeb21 - Sons of Adam, Daughters of Eve: prophecy #queensoffebruary - Atmospheric #starsinthedark - don’t leave me now #BookBookOwlFruityFebruary - Cumquat: Underrated book //HASHTAGS// #underratedbooks #julietmarillier #theharpofkings #warriorbards #adancewithfate #faebooks #faeriesbooks #fae #historical fantasy #goodbooks #aussieauthor #bookrec #bookrecs #bookrecommendation #auskiwibooksta #ausyabloggers #ausbookishfeatures https://www.instagram.com/p/CLOrImRAlOK/?igshid=18jh3xukvcpx9

QOTD: Did you get any exciting new books this month? (Aside from ACOSF 😂) Look at me being organised and posting a haul photo! I usually don't get photos of my stacks before the challenges use book haul as a prompt 😅 All these books except for one were bought by my family to bribe me for errands/ favours. The Immortal Heights is a delayed birthday present. Alll this means I've stuck to my buying ban! Well, except for a couple of ebook pre-orders I forgot about 🙈 And I may or may not have bought one book from a favourite author I couldn't resist because it's hard to get and almost out of stock in most places.... I'm pretending that doesn't count yet though because it won't arrive until next month 😉 //CHALLENGES// #AmpersandFeb21 - Haul #arcflames21 - Book #LMSFebruary2021 - Sci-fi Saturday #MyFandomObsessionsFeb21 - CS Lewis: #bookhaul #queensoffebruary - #StackSaturday #RFABFeb21 - Bought in Feb #starsinthedark - we fought our best //HASHTAGS// #Bookhaul #Bookaddict #bibliophile #bookpile #lore #alexandrabracken #raybearer #kingdomofthewicked #whisper #lynnettenoni #bookworm #ausyabloggers #ausbookishfeatures #booknerd #bookstagrammer #loveozya #bookphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CLyvryigIlR/?igshid=buh1535bkihw

📖 Book Review: The Ever After by Amanda Hocking Final book in the Omte Origins trilogy. NA urban fantasy series. Thank you to @panmacmillan for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review. Swipe for my full thoughts, but TLDR; Overall this was a good conclusion to the Omte Origins and Trylle world. It was my favourite of the three, but it still felt like it never quite lived up to its full potential. Still a fun and easy to read series though. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ //CHALLENGES// #arcflames21 - Sequel was better #MedievalFeb - Fey/Fae/Fairies (how about trolls instead) #queensoffebruary - Awesome mentor #starsinthedark - alchemy of love #BookBookOwlFruityFebruary - Mango: Sweet friendships //HASHTAGS// #booktineusreview #bookreview #review #bookreviewer #bookblogger #ausyablogger #bookstagrammer #amandahocking #omteorigins #theomteorigins #bookworm #trolls #trylle #urbanfantasy #newadult #nafantasy #booknerdigans #auskiwibooksta #bibliophile https://www.instagram.com/p/CLq35vcgM5J/?igshid=vvhd18xid3xh

📖 Book Review: A Dance with Fate by Juliet Marillier Book 2 in the Warrior Bards trilogy. New Adult Historical Fantasy. Swipe for my full thoughts, but TLDR; If you enjoy tales rich with faerie folklore and filled with complex characters, you need to give Juliet Marillier a try. As a giant Marillier fan, I knew I was going to enjoy this new instalment in the Warrior Bards series but I didn’t realise just how much I’d love it. While it didn’t explore all the questions I had after the first book, I was still absorbed by the main story. I cannot wait to see how it all wraps up.
