Book Smart Part 2, Debut Diaries |
|
|
A recent book I read and loved click the image to learn more |

I've been devouring thrillers since last year, for reasons I sort of go into above. One of the many books I've read includes The Inheritance Games. It's definitely one for fans of 'Knives Out'. Filled with lots of my favourite things: wealth, angsty guy characters, intrigue, and a mystery that keeps you guessing right until the end, it made me watch its movie counterpart all over again. |
|
|
I watch all of the 'Chicagos' on Nowtv - Fire, PD, and MD. I love how big the universe is; the character from the three respective shows meet at some point or other, and while I'm still holding out for cross-show dating, I am content with salivating over Jay from PD. If you know, you know. |

A Sneak Peek at Witches Steeped in GoldB |
|
|
This edition's sneak peek is a little different since I can't show any photos of what I'm about to confess, but I can tell you about the six different cover designs (of eight separate editions!) releasing this year. Next year is all about foreign covers, so stay tuned for those . . . 1) The UK paperback has a raised gold title . Signed editions are available below, if you click the button labelled 'Forbidden Planet' 2) The US hardback has a secret golden spine. Brave + Kind Bookshop has signed bookplates, just click the button labelled 'Brave + Kind' 3) Secret Book box number 1 has a darker, golden cover 4) Secret Book box number 2 has a special edition cover unlike any of the others 5) Secret Book box number 3 features Ira and Jazmyne in All their glory in a way none of the other covers do 6) Fox and Wit have miniaturised the US cover, and it features green sprayed edges. Those are available via the button "Fox and Wit', though they're currently sold out; if you sign up to be notified, they may add to their numbers - don't hold me to that! It's too difficult to pick a favourite, since they are ALL so different. I've been blown away by the care behind the scenes. Everyone wanted to make their cover amazing, while paying homage to the book, and I couldn't be happier with each and every single design. Whether you snag a book box, or a trade edition, I hope you love it |
