Speaking of...GIVEAWAYS⠀ .⠀ Just finished House of Salt and Sorrows yesterday. I somehow ended up with two copies of this book and instead of returning the extra copy I’m giving it away to one lucky winner to get you over #humpday. ⠀ .⠀ A retelling of the 12 Dancing Princesses and as with every retelling there is a twist. The Thaumes family is cursed and sisters keep dying. Once there were 12 and now there are 8. But Annaleigh doesn’t think these deaths were accidental and as she keeps digging deeper into their deaths she puts herself at the top of the chopping block. In the meantime the remaining sisters have been sneaking out every night to dance at balls and are wearing their shoes out, which is where the retelling of the 12 Dancing Princess comes out. But where are they really going every night? Told for a YA audience this book is good. I wish it were a bit edgier or scarier but considering the audience is suppose to be younger I think Craig did a good job of blending together a new story with a retelling. Also major props for not having the love triangle be the center of the book. Teenage love triangles give me so much anxiety and while it’s present in the book, it’s not overdone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. To see my full thoughts head over to my blog. Link in bio! ⠀ .⠀ To enter: ⠀ 1️⃣Like this post⠀ 2️⃣Follow me and be my friend ⠀ 3️⃣Tag 2 friends in a comment who love a good retelling (can be done unlimited times)⠀ 4️⃣ Extra entries for sharing in your story & for showing some of my other posts some love. ⠀ .⠀ Open internationally. Giveaway closes 8/24. Winner will be announced this weekend!⠀ .⠀ #bookgiveaway #speakingofgiveaways #speakingof #speakingofbooks #speakingofblog #bookreview #booklover #bookreviewer #bookblogger #yabookstagram #bookretelling #storytelling #houseofsaltandsorrows #delecortepress #erinacraig

Speaking of...Pub Day! ⠀ .⠀ Happy Pub Day to The Whisper Man. I read this one last week and I know there are a lot of mixed feelings going around about the book but I really enjoyed it. The story itself wasn’t as ‘creepy’ as I was expecting it to be and IMO this falls more into the mystery genre. Which I’m okay with. I did love the imaginary and the story lines. And the additional of so many different POVs really added extra substance to the story. Did I figure out the murderer before the end of book, yes. Do I still give this 4.5 ⭐️, also yes. Have you read this? What did you think? To see my full review head to my blog, link in bio! .⠀ Also this candle is speaking to my soul today. I’m dying for a nap this afternoon! ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #speakingof #speakingofbooks #speakingofblog #thewhisperman #publicationday #newbooks #bookofthemonth #botm #booklover #thrillerbooks #bookstagram #notjustaprettybook

Speaking of...challenges. ⠀ .⠀ It’s Monday again, we have too many of them, don’t ya think. Anyway, with it being the third week of August I’m working really hard to keep on track with my reading this month. So this is what I’m challenging myself to this week. ⠀ 📖 finish Beyond The Point⠀ 📖 finish House of Salt & Sorrow⠀ 📖 finish Shopaholic Takes Manhattan⠀ 📖 finish The Future of Another Timeline⠀ .⠀ I have some many unfinished books at the moment. I normally never read more than 1 book at a time but I’m just so dang excited about all the books sitting on my TBR. What books are you excited for this week?? Do you normally only read one book or multiples at the same time?? ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #speakingof #speakingofbooks #speakingofblog #books #tbr #weeklyreading #readinggoals #beyondthepoint #newreleases #allthebooks #bookish #bookreviewer #bookstagram

Speaking of...Sunday Funday! ⠀ .⠀ Had a blast getting to hear @katherinecenter at @thetwigbookshop this evening! I really love getting to hear the author’s POV and insight into a book. I feel like it makes the story even more interesting to get a behind scene glimpse into their thought process. Can’t wait to read Things You Save In a Fire 🔥 ⠀ .⠀ #speakingof #authorsiginings #thetwig #katherinecenters #howtowalkaway #speakingofblog #speakingofbooks #newbooks #bookstore #sundayfunday
