I've been living a lie 😭
Me out here thinking "dam these booksta girls don't hold their punches" 👀☃️
I should have known!!! ☠️⚰️🧟♀️
😾I HAVE LOTS OF FEELINGS!!!! 🐦⬛🗯️
🛑Book 2 is definitely subverting expectations so far!
🕊️I am entranced by the honesty around mental health 💔🥀 the coping mechanisms that we sometimes reach for, and the everyday pleasures we can no longer enjoy 🎨🖌️
🧚♀️ More to come soon as my poor heart recovers

My first long review is live on the @hawkeyepublishing website and LOOK IT'S BEAUTIFUL 😍🥹
I am bursting with joy at these wonderful words and the idea someone enjoyed my book ❤️ We write in a vacuum of self-doubt but it is amazing to see how the stories touch others and there is NOTHING else like it 😭💕

In my post-2000s Shakira era💃✨
It's my birthday on Friday, do you think I should give it the snip?
Blast from the past, anyone?
🐉📚The world of the Shadow Hunters is one of my absolute favourites! There is something so appealing about a supernatural battle being waged right under your nose.
⚔🏰Not to even BEGIN with Jace and Clarey and their amazing, tumultuous romance. (If you know you know)
🌳✨I am always trying to downsize my life, but how can you say goodbye to such a wonderful series?
Who else has a series that's expanded a bit beyond their (ahem) available space?

📢✨LAUNCH REPORT📚
Stoked to have attended the launch of Rosanna this weekend at the Burrow West End with Annie O'Moon Browning❤️
It was such a friendly atmosphere with lots to celebrate and so MANY people there to do the celebrating! 🥳💃
✏️Fav quote from the author: "The role of a novelist is to bring to life what's within us."
Annie brings the struggles and emotion of life into this lyrically written novel about love, hardship, and humanity. (Plus a bit of magic, ofc)🍀🧚♀️
Check out Rosanna on the @hawkeyepublishing website - and you can pre-order a copy of Road to Freedom while you're there! 😂👀

Writing this post as I listen to Tortured Poet's Department and I am SO EMOTIONAL so excuse me for the gushing but what a JOURNEY 😵
I was so excited to read this book and it absolutely did not disappoint. What started as a classic fantasy save-the-princess, evil-sisters, timid-protagonist storyline became a kick-ass, dungeon-delving, monster-hunting, nobody-puts-baby-in-a-corner EPIC.
Reading this series was so important to me as a way to connect with everyone on bookstagram. I wanted to sit where you have sat, read the things you've read, and experience what you've experienced. Taste the poison and see if I can take it.
Now I see SJ Maas is more than an author, she's a movement. Sending lost readers back to their books. Sending fantasy to the top shelf. Sending love and magic in every direction.
I am so glad I took the leap to begin this series and all I can say is I cannot WAIT for Book 2!
