My Darkest Powers YA paranormal trilogy gets a brand-new look on September 1st! New covers with sprayed edges and a bit of text updating 😉 (US only because it's the US publisher doing the reissue)
One of the most exciting things about reading is that you could fall in love with a book and love everything about it and not remember pretty much anything so then you can read it again and experience it almost like for the first time
Book characters need to stop making terrible decisions.
I’m stressed.
I’m emotionally invested.
I’m shouting at the pages.
And somehow, I’m the one suffering. 😩
I have noticed that the books I remember most vividly aren’t necessarily the ones I loved. Sometimes, it’s the ones that irritated me so badly I had to argue with the author in my head.
“go to hell” is basic. “i hope your favorite book series is poorly adapted as a live action” it’s smart. it’s possible. it’s terrifying. it has happened to me..
Instead of stressing over that ever-growing stack of unread books, think of your bookshelf as a wine cellar. You're just collecting books to be read at the right time, the right place and the right mood.
Reading a book in public is only performative to people that don’t read books. To a reader, every waiting room, park bench, and train carriage is another potential chapter.
