🪡 BLOG TOUR + BOOK REVIEW 🪡 I'm thrilled today to be hosting a spot on the blog and bookstagram tours for THE SEVERED THREAD by @leslie.vedder, hosted by @tbrbeyondtours! This book releases on 7 Feb from @razorbillbooks @penguinteen. Thanks so much to the publisher for my copy! I had been wanting to read The Bone Spindle ince it came out, so when I saw this tour opportunity, I jumped at the chance to participate. I read TBS and The Severed Thread back to back, and what a ride it was! This is one of those rare instances -- rare, at least, for me -- where the second book in a series surpasses the first. I don’t want to say too much so as to avoid spoilers for either book, but I loved going on more adventures with Shane and Fi so much! Shane and Fi are so great together, and I loved seeing their relationship develop into a partnership based on trust and, eventually, true friendship. There is also romance, and while there is instant attraction between Fi and Briar and between Shane and Red, it’s really not instalove -- both relationships are allowed to develop over the course of two books, and I can’t wait to see where they end up. I enjoyed the adventure aspect of TST even more than I did TBS, which is saying a lot! And holy cow, the cliffhanger ending of book two has me biting my nails and wishing I had book three in my hands right now! If you are a fan of fairy tales, retellings, gender swaps, fractured tales, budding romance, fierce female characters, puzzles, and good old adventure, you should pick this series up! I would literally recommend this to any and every reader.

“In fables, there is always a mother and there is always a daughter. There is somethings a Grand Mar and sometimes a Grand Daughter. And the story that will be told to you, your whole life, is that your Grand Mar is your mother and you are her daughter, and I am your sister. But between the pages of this notebook, hidden away from your Grand Mar, you will find the truth.” ✨🕊✨ One Hundred Days by Alice Ping is an emotional and thought provoking contemporary novel following a daughter and her mother, while expecting her own child. Narrated by Karuna, the book gives us a glimpse into her life before, during and after she falls pregnant, and shows the incredibly complex relationship that she has with her mother. Have you ever read a book where you just HATED one of the main characters? Because this book was one of those for me. I hated Karuna’s mother, who was incredibly selfish, overbearing, belittling and possessive. Karuna herself was also a complex character and I didn’t often agree with her choices. I could more often understand why she did the things she did though. But the way Karuna took care of both herself and her child as much as possible made for a compelling read. This book wasn’t afraid to have the difficult discussions about differing parenting styles, differing cultures and generational trauma as it added quite a lot of context to the overall storyline. I also really loved that the author took the fairytale structure and incorporated it throughout the novel; it added so much to the story, but very subtly. I have to admit that this book made me laugh out loud at times, while at others it made me rage, and at times it made me cry. Beautifully written and portrayed, I struggled to put it down. ✨🕊✨ One Hundred Days is book 85 for 2022. #bookstragram #books #booksofinstagram #booklover #bookphoto #reading #aussieswhoread #avidreader #bookwhore #aussiereader #bookdragon #reader #readersofig #booksofig #bookcommunity #bookish #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #bookstagrammer #booklife #bookaddict #girlswhoread #readinggoals2022 #auskiwibooksta #bookquote #onehundredsays #alicepung #fracturedfairytale #compellingreads #yellowandpink https://www.instagram.com/p/CkLnSgnSlcx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
#wordfunfox Today's word, "Meal” is one that everyone expects in a Beauty and the Beast story. Everyone knows the quickest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach… Wait a moment, that came out a little frightening, didn’t it? Luckily, Mirabelle has nerves of steel, even when it is clear she’s dealing with magic. To read about Mirabelle’s adventures, check out A Tale of Gold and Roses, by Beth Nottingham, on Amazon Kindle for $0.99 - or if you have Kindle Unlimited, it's absolutely free! #writing #fantasy #fracturedfairytales #beautyandthebeast #magic #writingchallenge #food https://www.instagram.com/p/CTEvw9_rXao/?utm_medium=tumblr
My own take on the #piedpiperofhamelin The titular main character from my upcoming retelling of the fairytale legend. I based his appearance on a rat with his braid resembling a rat’s tail. I also gave him hypnotic swirly eyes similar to Makima. #thepiedpiperofhamelin #piedpiper #thepiedpiper #fracturedfairytales #twistedfairytale #retelling #fairytales #fairytaleretelling (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp6lhpnvYWN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Want your friends to read about Bea and the gang? The Fairy's Tale ebook is FREE on Amazon until the 29th of July! (We're also currently no.1 in Teen and Young Adult!)
https://www.bklnk.com/B00T3E9QL8 (this link will take you directly to your local Amazon store)
Here’s the blurb:
Bea's to do list:
Get the girl to the ball
Engineer True Love's Kiss
Make a Happy Ever After
DO. NOT. MESS. THIS. UP.
Easy, right...?
Apparently not. Bea, a wannabe fairy godmother, has finally been given a story of her own to manage - and to prove that cabbage fairies aren't completely useless. Only, her heroine doesn't want to marry the hero, and the ugly sister is bent on overthrowing the King. Worse still, the Royal Advisor seems to know a lot more about Bea and fairy godmothers than any human should...
Bea knows she should report all this to her boss. But that would mean admitting she's a failure, that everything everyone says about cabbage fairies is true. Besides, how hard can it be to get her story back on Plot? Everyone wants to marry a Prince, don't they...?
