Hey book dragons! So I got some awesome book mail! @penguinteen was so awesome to send an ARC of Together We Rot by Skyla Arndt and I will be honest this book sounds really good. Can’t wait to start it this weekend! 🪴🌿✨🕯️🌿✨🪴🌿✨🕯️✨🌿🪴 Here is a synopsis of what the book is all about! A teen girl looking for the truth about her missing mother forms a reluctant alliance with her former best friend...in exchange for hiding him from his cult-leading family. Wil Greene’s mom has been missing for over a year, and the police are ready to call the case closed—they claim she skipped town and you can’t find a woman who wants to disappear. But she knows her mom wouldn’t just leave…and she knows the family of her former best friend, Elwood Clarke, has something to do with it. Elwood has been counting down the days until his 18th birthday—in dread. It marks leaving school and joining his pastor father in dedicating his life to their congregation, the Garden of Adam. But when he comes home after one night of after a final goodbye with his friends, already self-flagellating for the sins of drinking and disobeying his father, he discovers his path is not as virtuous as he thought. He’s not his father’s successor, but his sacrifice. For the woods he’s grown up with are thirsty, and must be paid in blood. Now on the run from a family that wants him dead, he turns to the only one who will believe him: Wil. Together, they form a reluctant partnership; she’ll help him hide if he helps her find evidence that his family killed her mother. But in the end they dig up more secrets than they bargained for, unraveling decades of dark cult dealings in their town, led by the Clarke family. And there’s a reason they need Elwood’s blood for their satanic rituals. Something inhuman is growing inside of him. Everywhere he goes, the plants come alive and the forest calls to him, and Wil isn’t sure if she can save the boy she can’t help but love. 🪴🌿✨🕯️✨🌿🪴🌿✨🕯️✨🌿🪴 #bookstagram #bookworm #book #booksbooksbooks #bookstacoven #bookstagrammer #bookarc #togetherwerot #booklover #booknerds #bookaddict #thedarklibrarians #penguinteen https://www.instagram.com/p/CqZXd63LTAR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

💬 Give me all your spooky fall book recs! 🍂👻 The Corpse Queen by @heatherherrmanauthor sounds like the PERFECT fall read to me! Honestly, I was completely sold at “grave robbing”!! 💀 Thank you to @PenguinTeen for sending me a copy of the book. Spooky Bitch candle by @bossypantscandle! Use code LIFEINLIT10 for a discount! . . . s u m m a r y : In this dark and twisty feminist historical thriller, a teenage girl starts a new life as a grave robber but quickly becomes entangled in a murderer's plans. Soon after her best friend Kitty mysteriously dies, orphaned seventeen-year-old Molly Green is sent away to live with her "aunt." With no relations that she knows of, Molly assumes she has been sold as free domestic labor for the price of an extra donation in the church orphanage's coffers. Such a thing is not unheard of. There are only so many options for an unmarried girl in 1850s Philadelphia. Only, when Molly arrives, she discovers her aunt is very much real, exceedingly wealthy, and with secrets of her own. Secrets and wealth she intends to share--for a price. Molly's estranged aunt Ava, has built her empire by robbing graves and selling the corpses to medical students who need bodies to practice surgical procedures. And she wants Molly to help her procure the corpses. As Molly learns her aunt's trade in the dead of night and explores the mansion by day, she is both horrified and deeply intrigued by the anatomy lessons held at the old church on her aunt's property. Enigmatic Doctor LaSalle's lessons are a heady mixture of knowledge and power and Molly has never wanted anything more than to join his male-only group of students. But the cost of inclusion is steep and with a murderer loose in the city, the pursuit of power and opportunity becomes a deadly dance. . . . h a s h t a g s : #TheCorpseQueentour #TheCorpseQueen #heatherherrman #PenguinTeen #storygramtours #bookstagram #bookphotography #bookphoto #bookishphotos #creepyreads #fallreads #fallvibes #cozycore #cozyaesthetic #autumnal #librariesofinstagram #totalbooknerd #bookobsessed #bookaholic #readinglist #culturetripbooks #booklover #readmorebooks #bookwormsunite #goodreads #bookreviewer (at Bookstagram) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUFj5cfrGdn/?utm_medium=tumblr

“You can achieve everything in this world, but if it’s for someone else, it’s pointless. Live for yourself.” - Blood Heir . . 🌟QOTD: is there a character you’d love to meet but would be super scared to come face to face with?! . . Hello friends and happy Thursday!! As much as I talk a big game I’m definitely a big scaredy cat!! I know if I came face to face with Anastacya Mikhailov I would be soooo nervous!! Obviously she’s a sweetheart when you aren’t trying to destroy her country but still those eyes would be nerve wrecking!! If you haven’t checked out this series yet I HIGHLY recommend it!! It’s got magical affinities, political power plays, and a serious slow burn romance!! I cannot wait for the gorgeous third and final book!! Have a great day everyone! . . #ReadGushJuly21 - Spiral #BooksarePugaliciousJuly21 - May: dark fantasy #BookSummerLovin - Damen/Laurent: royal couple #DisneyLadiesJuly21 - Ariel: transformation . . #bloodheir #redtigress #ameliewenzhao #penguinteen #delacortepress #cosplay #booktography #booknerdigan #readingcommunity #bookhoarder #booknook #yabookstagram #readersgonnaread #toberead #allthebooks #readinggoals #booksaremagic #bookblogging #bookstagramfeatures #yafantasy #shelfie #bookporn #booksarelife #rainbowbookshelf https://www.instagram.com/p/CREVZDvLR6C/?utm_medium=tumblr
