Hey guys I hope you’re having a wonderful Thursday. Winter has been brutal in NYC and it makes it so hard to get up to go to school or work. How amazing is this cover of Amber and Dusk? I am so in love with this color. Summary: Sylvie has always known she deserves more. Out in the permanent twilight of the Dusklands, her guardians called her power to create illusions a curse. But Sylvie knows it gives her a place in Coeur d'Or, the palais of the Amber Empress and her highborn legacies. So Sylvie sets off toward the Amber City, a glittering jewel under a sun that never sets, to take what is hers. But her hope for a better life is quickly dimmed. The empress invites her in only as part of a wicked wager among her powerful courtiers. Sylvie must assume a new name, Mirage, and begin to navigate secretive social circles and deadly games of intrigue in order to claim her spot. Soon it becomes apparent that nothing is as it appears and no one, including her cruel yet captivating sponsor, Sunder, will answer her questions. As Mirage strives to seize what should be her rightful place, she'll have to consider whether it is worth the price she must pay.

Hi everyone I hope you’re having a wonderful Thursday. It’s my day off which is good because I feel a bit sick and have an annoying cough. Currently my fiancé and I are obsessed with Mario Odyssey and can’t seem to stop playing. I’ve also been so excited to read In an absent dream by @seananmcguire Summary: This fourth entry and prequel tells the story of Lundy, a very serious young girl who would rather study and dream than become a respectable housewife and live up to the expectations of the world around her. As well she should. When she finds a doorway to a world founded on logic and reason, riddles and lies, she thinks she's found her paradise. Alas, everything costs at the goblin market, and when her time there is drawing to a close, she makes the kind of bargain that never plays out well.

Hey guys I hope you have an amazing New Year celebration. I’ve been so MIA and I know I’m sorry. Just been sort of sick and very uninspired.

Hey guys today I partnered up with @tlcbooktours @jameybee and @williammorrowbooks to bring you The Wild Inside. Summary: "The Wild Inside is an unusual love story and a creepy horror novel — think of the Brontë sisters and Stephen King." —John Irving A promising talent makes her electrifying debut with this unforgettable novel, set in the Alaskan wilderness, that is a fusion of psychological thriller and coming-of-age tale in the vein of Jennifer McMahon, Chris Bohjalian, and Mary Kubica. A natural born trapper and hunter raised in the Alaskan wilderness, Tracy Petrikoff spends her days tracking animals and running with her dogs in the remote forests surrounding her family’s home. Though she feels safe in this untamed land, Tracy still follows her late mother’s rules: Never Lose Sight of the House. Never Come Home with Dirty Hands. And, above all else, Never Make a Person Bleed. But these precautions aren’t enough to protect Tracy when a stranger attacks her in the woods and knocks her unconscious. The next day, she glimpses an eerily familiar man emerge from the tree line, gravely injured from a vicious knife wound—a wound from a hunting knife similar to the one she carries in her pocket. Was this the man who attacked her and did she almost kill him? With her memories of the events jumbled, Tracy can’t be sure. Helping her father cope with her mother’s death and prepare for the approaching Iditarod, she doesn’t have time to think about what she may have done. Then a mysterious wanderer appears, looking for a job. Tracy senses that Jesse Goodwin is hiding something, but she can’t warn her father without explaining about the attack—or why she’s kept it to herself. It soon becomes clear that something dangerous is going on . . . the way Jesse has wormed his way into the family . . . the threatening face of the stranger in a crowd . . . the boot-prints she finds at the forest’s edge. Her family is in trouble. Will uncovering the truth protect them—or is the threat closer than Tracy suspects?

Hey guys I’m so sorry for the lack of activity lately. Just been so exhausted with school and work. I’ve been in the biggest slump ever. I haven’t taken photos in weeks. Just don’t have the energy to. I have finished most of my finals and was actually able to pick up The Matchmakers List which I’m currently loving. And right now like right now, right now I’m reading Queen of Air and Darkness because I just could not wait! I literally forgot how book 2 ended and as soon as I started the first chapter my heart shattered again. My poor babies, I’m so happy I have this book in my hands.

Hey guys today I’m partnering up with @realchrisbabu and @tlcbooktours to bring you The Expedition. This is the second book the first being The Initiation. Summary: They survived the Initiation. Now the real test begins. Drayden and his friends thought nothing could be harder than the Initiation. Little did they know it had only been a warmup for the challenge that lay ahead. With New America’s situation dire, Drayden and the pledges venture into the unexplored world beyond the walls, escorted by a team of elite Guardians. The group seeks to contact another civilization in what remains of Boston, but Drayden has secret goals of his own. Dangers abound in the outside world, including Aeru, the deadly superbug that wiped out humanity. While they battle the elements of a desolate landscape, a power struggle emerges within their ranks. The Guardians seem to be carrying out a covert mission themselves, and the quest turns everything they thought they knew about New America upside down.

One of my most anticipated books was in the November Box @owlcrate and I can’t wait to read it. This edition came with amazing gold lettering. Which made it even more beautiful. Summary: Each year, eight beautiful girls are chosen as Paper Girls to serve the king. It's the highest honor they could hope for...and the most demeaning. This year, there's a ninth. And instead of paper, she's made of fire. In this richly developed fantasy, Lei is a member of the Paper caste, the lowest and most persecuted class of people in Ikhara. She lives in a remote village with her father, where the decade-old trauma of watching her mother snatched by royal guards for an unknown fate still haunts her. Now, the guards are back and this time it's Lei they're after -- the girl with the golden eyes whose rumored beauty has piqued the king's interest. Over weeks of training in the opulent but oppressive palace, Lei and eight other girls learns the skills and charm that befit a king's consort. There, she does the unthinkable -- she falls in love. Her forbidden romance becomes enmeshed with an explosive plot that threatens her world's entire way of life. Lei, still the wide-eyed country girl at heart, must decide how far she's willing to go for justice and revenge. _______________________ The December box is available to order and will come with an @inkandwonder.designs bookmark.

What’s the longest book you’ve ever read? Did they drag for you? A few long books I’ve read are IT, The Name of the Wind and the Wise Mans Fear. The only one that dragged for me was IT. I think it was mostly because it was weird and creepy AF. https://www.instagram.com/p/BqqLx35HNSZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e9gffxn88fe2
