Hello all you beautiful people! I feel like I have nothing to say at all today - does anyone else get like that when they are posting on IG? It's like I get on here to post and my mind goes BLANK and I zombie out and can't think of a single thing. Ah well.... What can you do? - - - Today's prompt for #tbrandbeyondoctchallenge is Red and Black Books, so I dragged down a couple of my beautiful Barnes and Noble Collector's editions. I'm in Canada, so these weren't cheap getting over here but it was so worth it. I have a couple shelves full of them and I just adore them. They are stunning. - - - October 15th! We are about halfway to Halloween now!!! ☠️🎃👻
Just a quick post today, hope everyone had a great weekend and for those of you who are celebrating Thanksgiving weekend - hope you had an awesome long weekend! I didn't get much done this weekend at all - pretty much no reading. Hoping to have a great reading week for #spookathon this week though! - - - The Emperor needs necromancers. The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman. Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead bullshit. Tamsyn Muir's Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap off the page, as skillfully animated as necromantic skeletons. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. But her childhood nemesis won't set her free without a service. Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrowhark succeeds she will become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier. Without Gideon's sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die. Of course, some things are better left dead.
Sunday! It's Thanksgiving Weekend in Canada, so I'm about to head off to my first of two Thanksgiving suppers nom nom nom 🤤🤗🦃🍁 - - - Today's prompt for the #tbrandbeyondoctchallenge is Chapter 13, so I skimmed through my books and found this beauty! The original House of Furies - sadly they've redone the cover and I believe the inside, so it's nowhere near this gorgeous now. I really hate when they do that and, of course, they did it mid series, so the covers wouldn't match. UGHHHH! My life is so hard! - - - Are any of you celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend? 🦃🍁
Vampires! They're back! I wasn't really sure how I felt about vamps coming back, but I think I'm digging it because it sounds like they won't be the sparkly kind and that is what I'm here for. I like my vamps dark - really dark and really violent. I'm quite excited for The Beautiful, I've heard mixed things but I think I'll enjoy it. I know some other authors are coming out with vamp stories in the next year or so as well, including Jay Kristoff - I can't wait! - - - In 1872, New Orleans is a city ruled by the dead. But to seventeen-year-old Celine Rousseau, New Orleans provides her a refuge after she's forced to flee her life as a dressmaker in Paris. Taken in by the sisters of the Ursuline convent along with six other girls, Celine quickly becomes enamored with the vibrant city from the music to the food to the soirées and—especially—to the danger. She soon becomes embroiled in the city's glitzy underworld, known as La Cour des Lions, after catching the eye of the group's leader, the enigmatic Sébastien Saint Germain. When the body of one of the girls from the convent is found in the lair of La Cour des Lions, Celine battles her attraction to him and suspicions about Sébastien's guilt along with the shame of her own horrible secret. When more bodies are discovered, each crime more gruesome than the last, Celine and New Orleans become gripped by the terror of a serial killer on the loose—one Celine is sure has set her in his sights . . . and who may even be the young man who has stolen her heart. As the murders continue to go unsolved, Celine takes matters into her own hands and soon uncovers something even more shocking: an age-old feud from the darkest creatures of the underworld reveals a truth about Celine she always suspected simmered just beneath the surface. At once a sultry romance and a thrilling murder mystery, master storyteller Renée Ahdieh embarks on her most potent fantasy series yet: The Beautiful.
