Thrilled to share that Dune: Messiah by Frank Herbert is now available as part of The Christmas Collection from The Folio Society! It was a dream creating 8 interiors, 10 chapter headings, cover, and slipcase for this illustrated edition. • I feel incredibly fortunate to have created work for a book I love so much, and I hope the images contribute something extra for readers. A huge thank you to The Folio Society and AD Sheri Gee for trusting me with this project and for taking such care in the production details. The end product is a stunning collector’s item that I’m very proud to be a part of. I can’t wait to share more of the work with you. • On creating the cover (without spoilers): The cover depicts Alia dressed in ceremonial garb as the head of the empire’s religious wing. Her rites and rituals strengthen the symbolism around Muad’Dib: a lowly desert creature transformed into an infinite godhead.

We wanted to keep continuity with FS’s edition of the first book, illustrated by Sam Weber (incidentally one of my favorite illustrators). So, Alia’s veil is a link back to Sam’s final illustration in Dune, which depicts Alia as small child. For me, the veil is a nod to the danger of prescience to lock the practitioner onto a fixed path, paradoxically limiting their view. Increasingly in Dune: Messiah, Alia represents religious dogma and the danger of having “blind faith” in a supreme figure or philosophy, so obscuring her eyesight seemed appropriate. And we also get this fitting line early in DM: “Such a rich store of myths enfolds Paul Muad’Dib…and his sister, Alia, it is difficult to see the real persons behind these veils.”

✩ STRANDED 💬 Have you ever been on a cruise? 🤎📖 Snowpiercer meets The Hunger Games in a gripping near-future dystopian. Stranded by @sarahdanielsbooks sounds like such an exciting ride! A dystopian set at sea? 🛳️ Yes, please! Thank you to @sourcebooksfire for gifting me this copy! . . . s u m m a r y : Welcome to the Arcadia. Once a luxurious cruise ship, it became a refugee camp after being driven from Europe by an apocalyptic war. Now it floats near the coastline of the Federated States - a leftover piece of a fractured USA. For forty years, residents of the Arcadia have been prohibited from making landfall. It is a world of extreme haves and have nots, gangs and make-shift shelters. Esther is a loyal citizen, working flat-out to have the rare chance to live a normal life as a medic on dry land. Nik is a rebel, planning something big to liberate the Arcadia once and for all. When events throw them both together, their lives, and the lives of everyone on the ship, will change forever . . . . . . h a s h t a g s : #stranded #sarahdaniels #dystopian #scifibooks #postapocalyptic #beautifulbooks #bookphotography #cozyreading https://www.instagram.com/p/CoXnHiyO8p1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Where are you traveling/visiting in your current read? 📚🍂🤎 . Welcome to our stop in the Bookstagram Tour for Misprized by @nataliesburford hosted by @mtmctours! Misprized is the first book in a YA Fantasy series in which Severine is traded by her grandmother and forced to find a cure for a mysterious illness that plagues the kingdom. To find the cure, she must enter into a competition called the Inquest of the Betrothed, trick a cunning king, and survive against mythological beings who are stronger than she’ll ever be. Out now!!
 .
{Book Review} Misprized is one of our latest reads & it was a great tale featuring a human girl that enters blindly into an impossible quest!! This is the story of Severine, an adventurous independent young lady that sees the world with wonder while also seeking a peaceful life. I loved how despite being sheltered she was not afraid to take on the challenge of thwarting the fearsome king in search of ingredients to stop a deadly disease that promises to doom them all. And then there is so much to learn of the magical world that she’s living in, from the mythological creatures she’s being forced to compete to the history of this world. Misprized is a compelling, high-stakes story with the chosen one trope (that I will never grow tired of reading) & it’s the perfect fantasy book to add to your TBR! 😍🤎 .
And don't forget to visit #MisprizedMTMC from February 6th - February 15th for more beautiful tour posts & reviews!

Sometimes Tom’s grandmother forgets the way home from the market, or that Tom’s name is Tom and not Roy. But Tom doesn’t mind. He loves to help his grandmother and just spend time with her. The special bond between a beloved grandmother affected by memory loss and her devoted grandson is described in Reeve Lindbergh’s most personal book for children, one that is based on her own and her son’s relationship with her mother in the last years of her life. Kathryn Brown’s watercolor illustrations tenderly capture the unique characters — and the love that is universal.

✨ C O V E R R E V E A L ✨ 💬 What was your last 5-star read? 🤎📖 THE REVENGE LIST by @hannahmarymckinnon releases on May 23, 2023 and I’m so excited for her latest twisty thriller! . . . s u m m a r y : They say life flashes before your eyes when you’re about to die. But all she could see was regret. The people in Frankie Morgan’s life say she’s angry. Emotionally stunted. Combative. But really, who can blame her? It’s hard being nice when your clients are insufferable, your next-door neighbor is a miserable woman and the cowardly driver who killed your mother is still out living it up somewhere. Somehow, though, she finds herself at her very first anger-management group session—drinking terrible coffee and learning all about how ‘forgiveness is a process.’ One that starts with a list. Frankie is skeptical. A list of everyone who’s wronged her in some way over the years? More paper, please. Still, she makes the pointless list—with her own name in a prominent spot—and promptly forgets about it…until it goes missing. And one by one, the people she’s named start getting hurt in freak accidents, each deadlier than the last. Could it be coincidence giving her the revenge she never dared to seek…or something more sinister? If Frankie doesn’t find out who’s behind it all, she might be next. . . . h a s h t a g s : #HannahMaryMcKinnon #TheRevengeList #psychologicalsuspense #mysterythriller #amreading #toberead #tbrpile #bookstagram #coverreveal #beautifulbooks #bookish #bookaesthetic #booksandcozymoments #booksandbeans #coffeeandbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CnpoU6vOtr9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
