What book did you buy based on its cover? 🤪 Before I even fawned over Leigh Bardugo, I saw The Language of Thorns and its beautiful cover, not to mention the gorgeous illustrations! 🙌 I rarely if ever cover buy nowadays, as I mostly look at the blurb. 💕 π π π π π • BLURB • Travel to a world of dark bargains struck by moonlight, of haunted towns and hungry woods, of talking beasts and gingerbread golems, where a young mermaid's voice can summon deadly storms and where a river might do a lovestruck boy's bidding but only for a terrible price. 💀 Inspired by myth, fairy tale, and folklore, #1 New York Times—bestselling author Leigh Bardugo has crafted a deliciously atmospheric collection of short stories filled with betrayals, revenge, sacrifice, and love. 💚 Perfect for new readers and dedicated fans, these tales will transport you to lands both familiar and strange—to a fully realized world of dangerous magic that millions have visited through the novels of the Grishaverse.📚 This collection of six stories includes three brand-new tales, all of them lavishly illustrated with art that changes with each turn of the page, culminating in six stunning full-spread illustrations as rich in detail as the stories themselves. 🖋 π π π π π Book Challenges: • Plot by @thedeityiswandering #wanderingmystical • Fantasy by @pagesandbeyond #beyondpagesjuly21 • Book that made you happy @exhausted.reader #exhaustedreaderjul21 • Book inspired by mythology by @booknooknerd84 #booknookbingo • Book you read in one sitting by @ahleys.reading.cafe #arcmusic21 • Love by @littlemissstar55 #lmsjuly2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CRjMkiCLXX4/?utm_medium=tumblr
