📘 Shadow Rose 📚 Daughters of Moon and Sun 🖋️ Elsie Quail ➡️ Synopsis 🌞🌞🌞🌙 Firstly, I fell completely in love with this cover. It is just absolutely gorgeous! The premise of the story was also rather compelling and I do love a well-spun fantasy world. The world setting itself is really quite wonderful, especially the contrast between the human world vs. the Afterlife. The details of magic and different creatures to the compellingly dark dungeons where the Lady of Darkness was being kept prisoner kept me riveted. I also love a good quest for which these 3 friends set off to right a wrong. Unfortunately, I wasn't too keen on these characters. Maybe, it was my expectations... I somehow wanted Maeva to be just like Mia from The Nevernight Chronicles. Okay, not exactly but bad ass because, at the start of the book, that's what she kind of sounds like. However, she wasn't, exactly... She and her friends cried quite a lot in the book. I don't know why I mind so much when my tears are pretty much on tap but it bothered me. Her interaction with her bff & love interest was also really awkward which is in one way understandable BUT I kind of found the first time they actually got it together so very truly awkward or just really weird (in terms of setting than sexual content). But then again, it could just be me. This book is obviously not for children and these characters are also not children but yet, they also stamped their feet a number of times! I honestly can't remember the last time I stamped my feet because I'm upset, can you? Overall, lovely setting, really promising story arc but I was just unable to empathise with these characters. Thanks to the author for gifting me with an eARC copy of the book. All thoughts are my own. ⚠️ implied rape, implied domestic violence, death of a child. 🏷 #ShadowRose #ElsieQuail #DaughtersOfMoonAndSun #fantasy #lgbtqia #ff #indieauthor #independentauthor #bookstalife #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #ausbookstagrammer #booklover #booksta #igreads #lovetoread #eclecticreader #bookishfeatures #aussiebookstagrammers #readersofinstagram #bookreview #fantasybooks #bookphoto #bookish #booklife #booksofinstagram #eclecticreader https://www.instagram.com/p/CmKXXXmyPkO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Q: What genre do you read the most? A couple of years ago, I would have said fantasy. The past two years the ratio of romance novels I read has increased dramatically. //CHALLENGES// #bombbooks1221 - Kisses and Wishes #winterinnarnia21 - Trumpkin (grumpy but loveable characters) #LMSDecember2021 - Favourite Main Character #sparkandsparrowperth #booksandcandles #fantasybooks #bookworm #reading #reader #afateofwrathandflame #fantasyromance #booknerdigans #aussiebookstagrammer https://www.instagram.com/booktineus/p/CX0h9uPr-ug/?utm_medium=tumblr

🖤🧛🖤🗡️🖤 Was so excited to get this beast in the mail yesterday! I pre-ordered this bad boy back in February and it's so damn pretty! It's has the most gorgeous illustrations inside and I think it may be the prettiest book I own. . I other news, lockdown in regional vice has eased, which means that Master Ollie has once more gone back to school. It's been a bit rough and not gunna lie, it's difficult keeping a a 7yo and a 3yo occupied while home schooling and it's been a bit if a free for all the last few weeks. But, back to school for now at least, until holidays! ☺️ . Things have been fairly steady on the writing front, and my rough timeline it's looking good for now. It's definitely coming along. 😃 It WOULD be nice to get a routine again. Routine? Who's that? . . . #bookdragon #booklr #bookgram #bookgeek #booksofinstagram #bookworm #booklover #bookstagrammer #booknerd #bookstagram #booknerdigans #booklove #bookaholic #bookaddict #bibliophile #aussiebookworm #aussiebookstagrammer #aussiebookstagram #jaykristoff #empireofthevampire #eotv #vampire #vampires #thelastsilversaint #bookmail #bookmailisthebestmail #flatlay https://www.instagram.com/p/CTnvgfCvmyu/?utm_medium=tumblr

What are you currently reading? ... So, I am finally reading again!!! After a couple of months of being in a reading slump, I have picked up an old fave to reread!! I'm currently curled up in bed reading ACOMAF while I have one of my many Night Court inspired candles burning. I really should be working on at least one of the many WIPs I have but it's taken me so long to get stuck into a book I just want to focus on reading. ... #acomaf #sarahjmaas #book #pins #bookishpins #readandwonder #acofas #acotar #acowar #bookstagram #amreading #shouldbewriting #bookishcandles #currentlyreading #aussiebookstagrammer #bookworm https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz4adZQgTTZ/?igshid=mqbxcxzkw93h

🔥 Mafia romance with a little spice and a whole lot of suspense? Knights Ridge Empire series has another completed trilogy! 🖤 Thank you @tracy_lorraine_author for sending me an ARC to devour another Knights story 📲 Reckless Dynasty is now available on #kindleunlimited along with the Wicked Knight series & Deviant Knight series 💫Review💫 4 ⭐️ Reckless Dynasty is book nine in the Knight Ridge Empire series and book three in Toby and Jodie's trilogy. Like the rest of the Knight's Ridge Empire series Reckless Dynasty does not disappoint and delivers the action packed storyline with dangerous plot twists and the darkness we have some to expect from Tracy's writing. This is a dark Greek mafia series built on the foundations of family and loyalty with a huge does of 'touch her and I'll kill you' vibes. Reckless Dynasty picks up where that ending to Reckless Princess left us hanging on for dear life. This series is so easy to be consumed by and to devour in one sitting. Toby and Jodie's relationship started out of revenge but is now firmly ruled by love. Their journey has been nothing short of chaos and this book is now different. Toby fights to keep Jodie safe while she fights to stay alive. As always we have breadcrumbs for our upcoming knights and that ending chapter has my absolutely on the edge of my seat waiting for Dark Knight. I can't wait to see where Tracy continues to take us with the Knights Ridge world. #knightsridgeempire #tracylorrainebooks #darkromancebooks #mafiaromance #mafiaromancebooks #darkromancereads #romanticsuspense #bookrec #bookreview #bookishpost #bookishflatlay #bookstagram #bookphotography #aussiebookstagrammer #girlswhoread #romancebookbloggerofinstagram #romancereads https://www.instagram.com/p/CeSApOzvJzF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

YESSSS THIS DAMN SERIES JUST KILLS ME 😍 Starting my New Year book posts with one of my absolute favorite series! Ayleth is so beautifully flawed and perfect and I just wish I could be her hunt sister 🙈 she is the definition of a strong woman. She overcomes. She lives, she struggles, she makes mistakes but she is still strong, smart and powerful and PERFECT 🙌 I also love seeing more of Terryn's emotions and internal struggles with this book. He is still very much the stubborn, consummate professional but it's really nice to see little embers of that slow burn Romance. 🔥 Paths of Malice finally had a much stronger focus on Dread Odille and her red devil witch lieutenants, their history and stories which I've been waiting for since the first book 🙈 No spoilers but this book is just as exciting, Dark, twisted, devilish and magically thriller-y ❤ Three out of three books of this series being brilliant? You should definitely read if you're a dark fantasy fan 👌 perfect for fans of Nevernight and A Darker Shade of Magic 💪 #books #ebook #bookart #bookishart #bookphoto #bookreview #bookreviewer #bibliophile #bookishcommunity #aussiebookstagrammer #sylviamercedes #thevenatrixchronicles #aylethdiferosa #terryndubalafre #darkfiction #darkfantasy #magic #witches #demons #possessed #nevernight #godsgrave #darkdawn #gothicfantasy #gothicfiction #adsom #adarkershadeofmagic (at Goulburn, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6y8RyrgHVf/?igshid=el69ffjmohke

Hiya! Is anyone else a massive Disnerd like me?? . Since I moved from Aus, I’ve been very careful about my purchases due to the fact that I do have to bring it all back with me when I move back home. And being a Disney fan isn’t easy with so many Disney stores and stockists around me. I am keeping myself very restricted and I think a lot about whether the item is worth buying and bringing back to Australia with me. I’ve been living in the UK for nearly a year now and I’ve only bought this Disney Animator’s Collection mug, the Beauty and the Beast pandora bangle (the charms were gifted to me), and this box set of Villain Tales by Serena Valentino. The books were an absolute steal! They were originally £32 but I got them for £7!! How could I not?! . I hope you’re all having a wonderful Tuesday 😊 #bookstagram #books #bookish #bookworm #disney #disnerd #disneyanimatorscollection #pandora #aussiebookstagrammer #aussiebookworm #aussiebooklover #aussieintheuk https://www.instagram.com/p/BztTWJ_lZin/?igshid=4wjy28eix8v3

📓 Babel, Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution 🖋️ R.F. Kuang 🎓🎓🎓🎓✒️ "Professor Lovell liked plain scones the least, though, so sultana scones were the staple of their afternoon teas ... [Robin] knew he didn't like sultanas in his scones; when Professor Lovell wasn't looking, he picked out his sultanas, slathered the denuded scone in clotted cream, and popped it in his mouth." Ok so the above quote doesn't really have anything to do with the plot in the book but seriously, all the mention of scones made me crave for some so what does one do but bake some! I'd suggest some fresh scones ready for reading the first part of the book but after that, I really needed wine. A. Lot. of. Wine. Honestly, I was wary of this book after The Poppy War trilogy. I mean that trilogy was violently brutal! And seriously, R.F. Kuang does not hold back her punches. Babel is excruciatingly brutal. I find that with The Poppy War trilogy, there is that veil of fantasy but in Babel, while there is still that fantasy veil, it is ever so sheer. Babel is a very dense reading. The amount of research must have been astounding. There was so much in this book from general history to linguistic ones. As the author has noted, however, certain things were fudged a little bit to fit because, after all, this is a work of fiction. I can't tell you what's been fudged but I'm still so very impressed with the meticulous details presented in this novel. The read will take a lot of focus and time but hoowee, it's absolutely worth IT! "'...And we're asking you now to finally, please, hear what we're trying to tell you. Please believe us.'" 🏷 #babel #rfkuang #speculativefiction #sff #booksandteas #bookandtea #sconesandteas #fantasy #bookstalife #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #ausbookstagrammer #booklover #booksta #igreads #lovetoread #eclecticreader #bookishfeatures #aussiebookstagrammers #readersofinstagram #bookreview #fantasybooks #bookphoto #bookish #booklife #booksofinstagram #eclecticreader https://www.instagram.com/p/CnOWsDLLzan/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Q: What are your favourite types of posts to see on instagram? Can I answer all the bookish posts? Because I do like them all. I do have a particular fondness for posts highlighting underrated books though. Please, tell me all about the book you love that doesn't get the attention it deserves! So many of my all time favourite books are novels barely anyone has heard of. //HASHTAGS// #bookspines #prettybooks #shelfie #tbrpile #toberead #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #goodbooks #readersgonnaread #aussiebookstagrammer #rainbowbooks #rainbowshelves https://www.instagram.com/p/CYlkK63L84P/?utm_medium=tumblr
