• I got to try my first order of @bunka.co and it's so good. Love it as a morning tea. I do not add any sweetener to my tea and this is the perfect flavor for me. Yes I'm wearing writing gloves my hands are always cold. Lol. #tea #teavibes #perfectmorning

  • Forest of Souls is almost here and there is still time to pre-order. Make sure you copy is ready for you on release day. ....... Sirscha Ashwyn comes from nothing, but she’s intent on becoming something. After years of training to become the queen’s next royal spy, her plans are derailed when shamans attack and kill her best friend Saengo. And then Sirscha, somehow, restores Saengo to life. Unveiled as the first soulguide in living memory, Sirscha is summoned to the domain of the Spider King. For centuries, he has used his influence over the Dead Wood—an ancient forest possessed by souls—to enforce peace between the kingdoms. Now, with the trees growing wild and untamed, only a soulguide can restrain them. As war looms, Sirscha must master her newly awakened abilities before the trees shatter the brittle peace, or worse, claim Saengo, the friend she would die for. ....... #starsandsouls #currentlyreading #2020release #ya #Bookstagram #bookphotgraphy #booksofinstagram #junerelease #ya

  • I’m featuring Star Daughter for the #StarsandSouls photo challenge. I’m halfway through the book and I’m loving the world of the Celestial Court. Why can’t I be half star. Definitely put this one on your pre-order list. ……... This gorgeously imagined YA debut blends shades of Neil Gaiman's Stardust and a breathtaking landscape of Hindu mythology into a radiant contemporary fantasy. The daughter of a star and a mortal, Sheetal is used to keeping secrets. Pretending to be normal. But when an accidental flare of her starfire puts her human father in the hospital, Sheetal needs a full star's help to heal him. A star like her mother, who returned to the sky long ago. Sheetal's quest to save her father will take her to a celestial court of shining wonders and dark shadows, where she must take the stage as her family's champion in a competition to decide the next ruling house of the heavens--and win, or risk never returning to Earth at all. ……….. #books #booksofinstagram #mythology #ya #fantasy #star #bookphotography #yadebut #currentreads #2020reads #augrelease #bookstagram #starsandsouls

  • Out today!!! #ASongBelowWater by @bcmorrow Tavia is already at odds with the world, forced to keep her siren identity under wraps in a society that wants to keep her kind under lock and key. Never mind she's also stuck in Portland, Oregon, a city with only a handful of black folk and even fewer of those with magical powers. At least she has her bestie Effie by her side as they tackle high school drama, family secrets, and unrequited crushes. But everything changes in the aftermath of a siren murder trial that rocks the nation; the girls’ favorite Internet fashion icon reveals she's also a siren, and the news rips through their community. Tensions escalate when Effie starts being haunted by demons from her past, and Tavia accidentally lets out her magical voice during a police stop. No secret seems safe anymore—soon Portland won’t be either. #books #booksofinstagram #2020release #2020reads #June20 #read #bookstagram #mermaids #ya

  • I loved Serpent & Dove and I’ve started Blood & Honey but I need to finish a couple other books first before I go all in. It’s really hard to resist though. Books where the romantic leads have witty banter always gets me. It makes reading the relationship develop fun. Plus witches, who doesn’t love witches. #books #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #ya #fantasy #witches #serpentanddove #serpent&dove #currentreads #2020reads

  • Happy Memorial Day. Thanks to those who serve. My dad was a veteran. He did Missile Tech in the Army. Every year he used to make us go downtown in our city to not only the parade but also this presentation they would have in the bandshell. They would talk about the veterans and each division of the military in the audience would stand and be recognized. I remember complaining. My dad made sure we all had respect for veterans the poper way to display the flag. I'm still in the part of my grief where these memories hurt and it feels stupid my dad is gone. I can't believe it's been 9 months. I'm glad he taught us how to be patriotic. I'm glad I miss him so much every stinking holiday because it just shows how much he was a part of my life and my kids life. So for those of you this day is hard. I send you a virtual hug and again thank you for those who have served.
