Q: What was the last signed book you ordered or had signed in person?. 💎 On Friday, February 17, I went to Books of Wonder for the Revelle by Lyssa Mia Smith launch event! She was in conversation with Lauren Blackwood, Rochelle Hassan, and Meg Long. This event was so good, I loved the conversation and learning more about Revelle. ✨ Since the book is set in the 1920s, of course I had to dress the part for this event too! Any excuse to wear my flapper dress, and I received a lot of compliments on it. It was a fun event and I'm really glad I was able to go. 💃 If you haven't noticed yet, I'm a big fan of Moulin Rouge - Revelle is Moulin Rouge inspired but with MAGIC, lots of magic! And lots of family love for Luxe Revelle - I loved the relationship Luxe has throughout the story with her cousins - it was so heartwarming. There are a few different magical families on Charmant, the island just a ferry ride from New York - and some of the powers include being able to charm and make the customers desires (seemingly) come true, time-travel, healing, mind-reading, and making food or drink the best you've ever had. But of course, all this magic comes with a cost to the user. Highly recommend this book if you're looking for a historical fiction fantasy with some forbidden romance and rival magical families! #Revelle #RevelleTheBook #LyssaMiaSmith #MoulinRouge #MoulinRougeBroadway #epicreads #balzerandbray #fantasybooks #yafantasy #debutauthors #debutbooks #debutfantasy #newbooktuesday #yahistoricalfiction #yaromance #yafantasyromance #yahistoricalromance #boostingya #currentlyreading #bookevent #booksofwonder #booksofwondernyc (at Books of Wonder) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co0RPI5vUR4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

February 25, 2020 Happy Book Birthday to Red Hood! • I’m currently reading this and I can say that I think it’s a very dark and interesting read. Wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into when I started this but I’m over halfway through and don’t see myself finishing until the end. • *🐺SYNOPSIS🐺* You are alone in the woods, seen only by the unblinking yellow moon. Your hands are empty. You are nearly naked. And the wolf is angry. Since her grandmother became her caretaker when she was four years old, Bisou Martel has lived a quiet life in a little house in Seattle. She’s kept mostly to herself. She’s been good. But then comes the night of homecoming, when she finds herself running for her life over roots and between trees, a fury of claws and teeth behind her. A wolf attacks. Bisou fights back. A new moon rises. And with it, questions. About the blood in Bisou’s past, and on her hands as she stumbles home. About broken boys and vicious wolves. About lost girls in the woods — frightened, but not alone. 📚 I do give trigger warnings for this book as it covers sex, murder, domestic violence, and menstruation. If you check this out let me know. I would love to know who is on the love it or hate it side. 📚 #redhood #redridinghood #fantasy #retelling #triggerwarnig #arc #balzerandbray #bookworm #bookish #bibliophile #bookaholic #wolf #currentlyreading #february #2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Ao7ofAyzz/?igshid=fdc974bjg2bx

Day #14, Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli. In attempt to not spoil this book for those of you who have not already read or seen the movie of this bad boy, we follow Simon and his quest for love. I will say it does have a little of a first world problem vibe to it, overall it is a really well done modern gay coming out story. If any of you like the John Green/David Levithan books, this one will be up your ally too, just right for the teen/YA crowd.

Even The Darkest Stars by Heather Fawcett . What book has been on your TBR the longest? I’m not sure this is the one for me, but it’s definitely up there! I have it since it was released - I think last year? And even though I’m really excited for it, there are always other books that pop up that I read first! . . . #eventhedarkeststars #heatherfawcett #bookseries #snow #fiction #fantasybooks #fantasyfiction #bookcover #bookobsessed #bookhoarder #bookaholic #bookstagram #bookphotography #bookphoto #bookphotograph #snowscape #balzerandbray https://www.instagram.com/p/BtW6NwbHo4i/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gt7rrebsnofz

The answer is always YES! Evan Panos just wanted to be loved as is. It seems like a no-brainer. Yet, being who you were born to be is still an issue for so many LGBTQ people. I came out years ago. It didn’t go well, but eventually I found a family of people that saw me (and accepted me) as my whole self. Coming out is hard. It shouldn’t be. No one should HAVE to come out. We should all just *BE* yet we do. If you’re struggling to step into the light as your true self, know that there will be a giant community of people who will love you. As is. They will love you so hard, so fully and without any reservations. For those that have, congratulations and keep being your own hero. And for the straight friends, family, allies that support us—-Thank You doesn’t seem like enough, but that’s all I’ve got right now. It’s a BIG thank you! Your love and support mean so much. ❤️🏳️‍🌈#nationalcomingoutday #dontblendin #thedangerousartofblendingin #epicreads #representationmatters #balzerandbray #evanpanos #evanandhenry #instagay #gaymanreading #lgbtqbooks #readya #yalit #lgbtbooks #writersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Boy7jNynLf1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uhdouiwdo8kp

Q: What's your favorite era of historical fiction?. 💎 Happy Book Birthday to Revelle by @lsmittywrites!. Charmant is only a ferry ride away. Give a Revelle a jewel for a chance to feel ecstasy. Revelle had me at "Moulin Rouge inspired" - say less! So of course I had to bring this book with me the last time I visited the Moulin Rouge on Broadway - and of course dress the part! I absolutely love historical fiction, especially set in the 1920s Prohibition era, throw in some magic and mystery and fantasy and I'm SOLD. If you're a fan of historical fiction, dual POV, YA fantasy, forbidden love, family bonds and of course - Moulin Rouge - this is the story for you! So happy Revelle is out in the world today in all formats including my favorite, audiobook~. Fun fact, I've seen Moulin Rouge on stage 15 times since October 2019, including New York, London, and Chicago on the tour - but I just watched the movie for the first time this past December!. Another fun fact, I first met Lyssa in an elevator at YallFest in 2021 before her book officially had a title and kept running into her during Yallfest!. P.S. Hello. Yes, I am alive, I know I haven't posted in ages but let's see if I can get back to it. I'm still reading as much as I can, but -gestures around- life has gotten in the way of blogging & bookstagram-ing. But I miss this! So I'm hoping to find time to come back!. #Revelle #LyssaMiaSmith #MoulinRouge #morerouge #MoulinRougeBroadway #epicreads #balzerandbray #fantasybooks #yafantasy #debutauthors #debutbooks #debutfantasy #newbooktuesday #yahistoricalfiction #yaromance #yafantasyromance #yahistoricalromance #moulinrougemusical (at Moulin Rouge The Musical - Broadway) https://www.instagram.com/p/CopabIeLL6W/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Pride!! We are showcasing our favorite queer characters for Pride month!

Number 4: Laura Ann Langston from Rust In the Root

Justina Ireland literally taught a class on how to write loveable characters. Laura Ann Langston of Rust in the Root, a brilliant young adult fantasy novel, is a great example of Ireland's ability to create a character that captures readers' hearts.

In 1937, Black 17-year-old Laura Ann Langston, a powerful queer mage hailing from small-town Shrinesville, Pa., goes to New York City seeking a grand future beyond her family’s humble farm. Laura wants to use her Floramancy skills to become the best baker the country has ever seen. Instead, when she sees a job posting sign after spending her last nickel on coffee, she joins the Bureau of the Arcane’s Conservation Corps and embarks on a journey that will uncover the darkest magic of the nation’s past–and present.

Laura is witty and sarcastic–which gets her into trouble more than once. In addition to being queer, Laura is a rare plus-size main character as depicted in the book's trailer.

We have hardcover editions signed by Justina Ireland in stock: @SistahScifi | www.sistahscifi.com | https://sistahscifi.com/products/signed-rust-in-the-root. Better yet, check it out from your local #library

Image reposted @thereadingblackgirls Currently Reading: Rust in the Root by @justina.ireland ❤️ -Nish 🤍

"Rust in the Root is another alt-historical fantasy from powerhouse author Justina Ireland. What does “alt-historical fantasy” mean, you might ask? It means that Justina takes elements from our very real history, and twists and tweaks them into an incredibly rich fantasy world." From @EpicReads

Author Blurbs for Onyx & Ivory

Ready to hear what people are saying about Onyx & Ivory? i’ve been lucky to have a number of tremendously awesome authors give it their mark of approval, and I’m grateful to each of them.

“Kate is a hero for the ages, and I was utterly swept away in her story, aching for her trials and rooting for every victory. This hero has heart and soul that will linger long after you close this book. A triumphant adventure with so much heart.”

—Natalie D. Richards, best-selling author of One Was Lost

"The world of Rime is complex and layered, the cast of characters just as real as they are magical. Everything about this story is fearless. Be warned. This is the kind of book that swallows you whole."

—Kristen Simmons, author of ARTICLE 5 and METALTOWN

“This stunning, action-packed fantasy grips the reader from the first page. Mindee Arnett weaves a tale rich with magic, fantastical creatures, and memorable characters that will leave you begging for more!”

– Lorie Langdon, YA author of the DOON Series and OLIVIA TWIST

“Oh fortunate reader! Master story crafter Mindee Arnett’s first high fantasy novel gallops onto the scene with everything you’d hope for: stunning betrayals, palace plots, deadly combat, deadly beasts, secrets old and new, magic wild and tame, and of course, magnificent horses. Her star-crossed protagonists Kate and Corwin, wills teal your heart with their abundant integrity, loyalty, and guts. The history and heartache they must overcome to work together is as great a challenge as protecting the people and the land they love.”

—Liz Coley, Internationally Best-selling author of Pretty Girl-13

And of course this one, by the lovely Susan Dennard!

November 3rd us almost upon us and it isn't too late to start the conversation about the importance of voting, provide resources and help people get registered. As readers and influencers we have a responsibility to use our voices to spread the word and call our followers to action. We also have the power to choose to promote authors who have important messages and voices. I am asking you today to use your platform because the fate of humanity literally depends on it. Thank you @deystreet and @epicreads for these gifted copies and goodies and for allowing me to be a part of this important campaign because #readersvote. 🗳Reclaiming Her Time: In the tradition of Notorious RBG, a lively and beautifully deep-dive into the life, wisdom, wit, legacy, and fearless style of American icon Congresswoman Maxine Walter's. From her anti-apartheid work and support of affirmative action to her passionate opposition to the Iraq War and calls to hold Trump to account, you can count on Auntie Maxine to speak truth to power and do it with grace, and sometimes sass. 🗳Yes No Maybe So: In this book about the power of love and resistance, teens Maya and Jamie both volunteer to canvas for a state senate candidate. They spend their summer going door to door encouraging people to vote and speaking up on important issues affecting their community. And as the polls get closer, so do Maya and Jamie. 🗳You Say It First: An irresistible novel that proves one conversation can change everything. While working at a voter registration call center, activist Meg ends up on the phone with disillusioned Colby, who has no time for some privileged girl preaching the sanctity of the political process. But that phone call winds up being the first in a series of candid conversations. Across state and phone lines, Meg and Colby form a once in a lifetime connection. But ate they just too different to make it work? #readersvote #readershavepower #registertovote #votingmatters #vote #bookstagram #bookdragon #books #bookmail #deystreet #epicreads #balzerandbray #rockthevote #bookphotos #bookishactivities #williammorrow #harpercollins #vote2020 #useyourvoice #votingbooks #bibliophile #latinxvoter (at Bushwick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGdgcrng89w/?igshid=kplkiq3wz6ca
