What’s your last book of the month?

Wishing a happy book birthday to @jennavoris and MADE OF STARS!

This debut novel is a thrilling sci-fi adventure full of lots of action! Love morally gray characters? This is the book for you. Think Bonnie and Clyde in space!

After breaking out of a high security prison, Shane and Ava discover a secret military plot to take over their home planet. With no one else stepping in, it’s up to them (and the crew they recruit) to take a stand, pull some heists, and terrorize the military.

Perfect for fans of THE DISASTERS and AURORA RISING.

Thanks @penguinteen for the ARC!

💫 About MADE OF STARS 💫

Inspired by the lawless love story of Bonnie and Clyde, Jenna Voris’s heart-stopping tale of passion and crime will have you seeing stars.

Shane and Ava are a team. He steals the aircraft, she charms their mark, and together they take what they need. Not even their distracting chemistry could get in the way. Until Shane was caught and left to rot on a prison moon. Now, freshly escaped from confinement and simmering with anger, he has his sights set on their biggest job yet.

Cyrus just graduated from the flight academy with a shiny new position lined up reporting to a well-respected general. On his very first assignment, he stops the outlaws in their tracks—or he would have, if his annoyingly handsome copilot, Lark, hadn’t fallen for Ava’s deception.

But when Shane uncovers a top-secret plot that would leave his and Ava’s home world at the mercy of Cyrus’s military leaders, he makes it his mission to thwart them at all costs. It isn’t long before the two of them make interstellar headlines with each new heist. And thanks to a chance run-in with the rebels, Cyrus is caught between two versions of the truth. He must pick a side—and fast. Because Shane and Ava will bring the planet to its knees . . . or die trying.

CLASH OF FATE AND FURY arrived over the weekend, which is perfect timing as it just released last week.

Happy belated book birthday, @menardrachel! And thank you @fluxbooks for sending me a copy!

⚡ About CLASH OF FATE AND FURY ⚡

Seventeen-year-old Gen may have rescued her beloved father from prison, but she hasn’t saved him yet. If she fails her end of a bargain with the Olympian Empresses, they will send him right back to his cell.

To keep the Empresses happy, Gen must bring them the legendary golden apples of Hesperides and the monstrous Cerberus. But both are rumored to be in the neighboring Elysium Empire, which has a long history of war with Olympia. Making matters worse, Gen’s former enemy and newly designated heir to the isle of Arcadia Castor invites herself on the journey, hoping a golden apple could end Arcadia’s reliance on Illumium for storm vials. And Castor’s twin brother, Gen’s StormMaker boyfriend Pollux, has been pulling away from Gen due to troubles stemming from her mind magic.

With Castor’s pirate-thief girlfriend and Pollux’s servant companion in tow, the unlikely team embarks on its voyage. But war is only an insult away in Elysium, and more than the Emperor has their eyes on Gen’s mission. The quest has caught the attention of one of Elysium’s Oracles, and trouble is sure to brew with Prophecy on the rise.

Over the weekend I had the BEST time traveling Glendale, Arizona with some bookstagram friends to see Taylor Swift!

I am forever grateful that bookstagram has brought so many friends into my life that I otherwise would never had a chance to meet. And that we share other interests such as TAYLOR SWIFT!

The last time I saw Taylor in concert was back during the Red tour so this truly has been a long time coming. I’ve been a fan of hers since the beginning and was not prepared for the wave of emotions and nostalgia that hit while she performed songs from Fearless. 😭😭😭

And of course I wasn’t going to leave Arizona without stopping at a used bookstore! We only had 15 minutes to explore Half Price Books, but I did not waste even a second of it. Swipe to the end to see @alibraryforone’s photo of me in the wild as I searched for Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books to add to my collection.

What’s your favorite Taylor Swift song? Who’s an artist/band you’d love to see live?

Wishing a happy book birthday to INFAMOUS! Bridgeton meets Booksmart in this queer regency romance—doesn’t it sound so good?!

Thank you @smpromance for sending me a copy!

📝 About INFAMOUS 📝

Twenty-two-year-old aspiring writer Edith (“Eddie”) Miller and her best friend Rose have always done everything together—from climbing trees and sneaking bottles of wine, to extensive kissing practice. But Rose has started talking about marriage, and Eddie is horrified. Why can’t they continue as they always have?

Then Eddie meets charming, renowned poet Nash Nicholson—a rival of Lord Byron, if he does say so himself—and he welcomes her into his world of eccentric artists and boundary-breaking visionaries. When Eddie receives an invitation to Nash's crumbling Gothic estate in the countryside, promising inspiration (and time to finish her novel, a long-held dream), she eagerly agrees. But the pure hedonism and debauchery that ensues isn’t exactly what she had in mind, and Eddie soon finds herself torn between her complicated feelings for Rose and her equally complicated dynamic with Nash, whose increasingly bad behavior doesn’t match up to her vision for her literary hero.

Will Eddie be forced to choose between her friendship with Rose and her literary dreams––or will she be able to write her own happily ever after?

What are you up to this weekend? Happy Saturday!

What are you up to this weekend?

Happy Saturday! I’m sharing this photo for no other reason than the fact that I got this adorable cookie the other day and immediately had to take a photo of it with the TO ALL THE BOYS books because it was so perfect for the series.

Anyone else excited for @xokittynetflix? I’m so excited to see @jennyhan’s world grow as Kitty takes center stage in the upcoming Netflix spin-off series!

Happy SHADOW AND BONE day! I am so so SO excited t

Happy SHADOW AND BONE day! I am so so SO excited that season 2 is finally here!

I had the most incredible time at the premiere last week—thank you @shadowandbone, @netflix, @netflixgeeked, and @1iota for the wonderful night.

I’ve been a fan of the Grisha series since I was in high school and loved the first season of the show. So it was amazing being able to meet @lbardugo and the entire cast as they walked the black carpet and then see an advance screening of the first episode.

Swipe to see some photos from the event!

What’s the last show you watched?
