Today's #bookmail had the FairyLoot and Owlcrate September Adult Fantasy boxes. Very different books. Sun of Blood and Ruin is gorgeous, though it's not getting the best reviews. And After the Forest will be a perfect October read. Though this is the 2nd month the Owlcrate book has had a solid color sprayed edge. Hoping for some more creativity next month.
Bk6 of my recent #BookMail is the Special Signed Edition of The 1st book in The Bone Season series. It‘s 2059 & 19yr old Paige Mahoney is working in the criminal underworld of Scion London, based at Seven Dials. Her job: scout for information by breaking into people‘s minds. Paige is a Dreamwalker & Clairvoyant & in the world of Scion, she breaks the law by simply breathing. Attacked, drugged & kidnapped, she‘s taken to Oxford, a city kept secret.
Bk5 from my recent #BookMail is this absolutely gorgeous edition of the 1st Geomancer novel. In the lakes, the wolf queen sharpens her spears. In the mountains, an ancient girl opens an eye. In the forest, an orphan is summoned by the trees. Ysolda has lived her life in the shadow of the wolf queens tyrannical rule, but safe in her forest haven, she has never truly felt it‘s threat. Until an earthquake shakes the land & her sister vanishes.
Bk4 of my recent #BookMail is the new signed edition of her 1st shortstory collection in awhile. Plus I love the cover! The foiled dog & fox screams autumn vibes & is another perfect #Scarathlon2023 book. In this there‘s a Queen who makes a bargain she can‘t keep, a secretary that watches over the life she just left, & a man whose life changes when a horse talks to him. A little bit creepy & a little bit funny & a whole lot brilliant.
Bk3 of my recent #BookMail is this new anthology of stories set in the realms of education. 12 sinister tales of gothic revenge & retibution, by authors such as Olivie Blake, M.L.Rio(a master at dark academia)& more. Retribution visits a Casanova lecturer, truth revealed about a missing professor, a jilted lover uses a seance for revenge, horrors are uncovered in an obscure academic department and more. Perfect for #Scarathlon2023
Bk2 of my recent #BookMail is the latest YA Fantasy from the author of Six Crimson Cranes. A story of two sisters, one beautiful, the other a monster. Channi wasn‘t born a monster, after her father sacrificed her to the Demon Witch shes cursed with a serpents face. Her sister Vanna is the only person who doesn‘t see a monster, beautiful inside & out she‘s about to be auctioned off to a wealthy suitor & only Channi can save her from his cruelty.
