Good day #bookland, and happy #Tuesday y’all. I hope everyone is having a fantastic day. Today I’m excited to participate in the Bookstagram & Creative Tour for GILD by @ravenkennedybooks! You’ve heard about King Midas, but what about the woman he turned to gold? Gild is the first book in an adult fantasy series. Book two, Glint, is already available on Amazon, and book three, Gleam, is set to release on May 31st. All books are available FREE on Kindle Unlimited!

From the very first line, we know this book is going to be a wild ride. This is my first delve into a Raven Kennedy book, and I’m sure it won’t be my last. Kennedy is an amazing storyteller, weaving elements of magic and fantasy effortlessly into a golden tale. Our MC Auren lives in a gilded cage (literally), and while she attempts to make the best of a caged life, you can’t help but want more for her as she begins to desire more for herself, like true friendship and companionship. GILD is easy to devour and will keep you turning pages into the wee hours of the night. Keep in mind, this tale is DARK and intended for mature/adult readers. If you’re interested in following Auren on her journey while she navigates a cruel world, then check out the giveaway below.

Good day #bookland and happy #Monday y’all ✌🏾. Why are weekends so short? I hope you guys had a fabulous weekend…I didn’t feel so hot yesterday, so I didn’t do much except for a few things around the house. Of course, work has already been crazy today and filled with way too many zoom meetings. The mini diva and I are about to take a break and grab some lunch before her second virtual session starts.

Anyways, enough of my rambling. What are you guys up to today? What are you reading? #currentlyreading or finishing GILD (yo, this book is crazy good) and #currentlylistening to From Blood & Ash (yes, I’m finally getting on the train).

Happy Reading 📖

Good day #bookland, and happy #Saturday y’all ✌🏾. How are you guys doing today? I hope everyone had a wonderful week and you’re having a great day so far. We’ve been busy the last few weeks, and it finally feels good to just relax and not do much today. I plan to read, catch up on my shows I missed this week, make a couple of videos, and maybe get some editing done.


#QOTD What are you guys up to today? How was your week? What are you reading? Or, just tell me something good 😊. I’m #currentlyreading The Unbroken by C. L. Clark. I was in B & N for two hours yesterday and only bought one book 😅. Ummm…but I won’t say how many I bought on Amazon tho…🤣.


Happy Reading 📖

Good day #bookland and happy #TGIF y’all 🙌🏾. This morning has already been on 10…for those of you who had to do virtual learning all school year, cheers to you. Because it’s zoom overload at my house between the mini diva and my working form home. Thank goodness for Starbucks. Anyways, the sun is out again today so I may just go work on my back porch and soak up some sun.

What are you guys up to today? Any plans for the weekend? What are you reading?


#QOTD What is your favorite type of book merch? #AOTD Recently, I’ve been obsessed with tarot cards. More book boxes are starting to include them and I can’t get enough.

Good day, my friends! It’s time for another fantasy recommendation. If you’re looking for a shorter book that will rock your storytelling world, then check out The Empress of Salt and Fortune and the companion novella When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain. There’s something about books from Tor—they always introduce me to books I never knew I wanted. If you aren’t already, please subscribe to their newsletter. They offer free books, short stories, and great articles.

Why you should read these novellas…
- Representation: non-binary, queer love
- folktales
- mammoths, laughing/shapeshifter tigers
- Nghi Vo’s gift for epic storytelling and lush, atmospheric world building
- They are short but I can’t stress this enough…EPIC 👌🏾🙌🏾


Do you read novellas?

Good day #bookland and happy #Thursday y’all ✌🏾. This week has been slow compared to the last couple of weeks (not complaining). Work has been steady, the mini diva and I are still getting adjusted to virtual learning, and it’s been a good week for me creatively (I’ve finally been able to take pics and not hate them 🙌🏾). All in all, I’m ready for the weekend and some sunshine 🌞.


What are you guys up to today? What are you reading? I finished my audiobook of Goodbye Paradise and now I don’t know what to listen to next. Any suggestions? #currentlyreading GILD.

#QOTD Tell me the last book you purchased! #AOTD Well, I’ve been trying not to buy any books but…I did preorder The Witch King which comes out next month😁(sn: if you haven’t seen the cover for it or read the blurb, go check it out😉).

Rep part: This amazing Jude & Cardan candle is from @acourtofcandles 🙌🏾. If you haven’t checked out the shop yet, seriously what are you waiting for? Use Mothergamerwriter10 if ya want 😊 to try them out.

Good day #bookland and happy #Wednesday y’all ✌🏾. It’s another cold and rainy day again…not that I’m complaining. The mini diva is back to virtual learning again. We almost made it a full school year without a COVID incident at her school…luckily there are only a few weeks left and she will soon be out for the summer🙌🏾. We still don’t know if we will continue to work from home after June, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏾.


Anyways, what have you guys been up to lately? What are you reading? I’m #currentlyreading GILD and #currentlylistening to Goodbye Paradise by Sarina Bowen.

#QOTD So, I randomly picked up Soulswift because the cover was so darn pretty and I must say, I’m loving it so far. Do you like books that talk about religion or that have religious themes? Or tell me your favorite books with angels and demons!

#QOTD Tell me your favorite magical kingdoms!


Hello, #bookland, and happy Tuesday y’all✌🏾. I hope everyone is having a fantastic day so far. I’m excited to be back after a couple of days away with the family to bring you guys another amazing giveaway. Rising Like A Storm is everything you could want in a fantasy. From the epic world-building to the cast of characters and unique magical system, it’s a book everyone needs on their shelf. Read more about it below!



About:
In the concluding installment to the Wrath of Ambar duology from masterful author Tanaz Bhathena, Gul and Cavas must unite their magical forces―and hold onto their growing romance―to save their kingdom from tyranny.

With King Lohar dead and a usurper queen in power, Gul and Cavas face a new tyrannical government that is bent on killing them both. Their roles in King Lohar’s death have not gone unnoticed, and the new queen is out for blood. What she doesn’t know is that Gul and Cavas have a connection that runs deeper than romance, and together, they just might have the strength and magic to end her for good.


Rising Like a Storm releases on June 22nd. Make sure to add it to your TBR piles!

Good day #bookland and happy #Wednesday y’all ✌🏾. I hope everyone is having a fantastic week. Me, I’ve been pretty busy and still trying to get through comments and DM’s😅. It’s definitely that time of year to get things done. We’ve been steadily working on the basement and just doing odd jobs around the house. I’m in the office today, hopefully it won’t be too crazy😆.
