We’re advertising a book for readers of dark fantasy: The Hunting Moon—the highly anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestseller, The Luminaries—by Susan Dennard.
WHAT IT’S ABOUT
Winnie Wednesday has gotten everything she thought she wanted. She passed the deadly hunter trials, her family has been welcomed back into the Luminaries, and overnight, she has become a local celebrity.
The Girl Who Jumped. The Girl Who Got Bitten.
Unfortunately, it all feels wrong. For one, nobody will believe her about the new nightmare called the Whisperer that's killing hunters each night. Everyone blames the werewolf, even though Winnie is certain the wolf is innocent.
On top of that, following her dad's convoluted clues about the Dianas, their magic, and what happened in Hemlock Falls four years ago is leaving her with more questions than answers.
Then to complicate it all, there is still only one person who can help her: Jay Friday, the boy with plenty of problems all his own.
As bodies and secrets pile up around town, Winnie finds herself questioning what it means to be a true Wednesday and a true Luminary—and also where her fierce-hearted loyalties might ultimately have to lie.

This advertisement is for a dark academia contemporary fantasy book called The Atlas Paradox by Olivie Blake. It is the bestselling sequel to bestselling book The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT: 
Plate tectonics shift with the beat of Nico de Varona’s heart. Fire is Libby Rhodes’ forte. Plants speak to Reina Mori. Expert telepath Parisa Kamali can traverse the mental landscape of the mind. Callum is an empath with the dangerous ability to project his desires, and Tristan Caine can do… something else. Something weird. 
One year ago, a cohort of six young, ambitious, and uniquely powerful magicians enrolled in a research program with the clandestine Alexandrian Society, a secret organization that safeguards humanity's most dangerous breakthroughs regarding the fundamental forces that underlay creation. 
Now they are five. 
As the void left by their lost companion fractures existing alliances and forges new ones, a man advances the final stages of his scheme. He would move the six like pawns in his world-changing game. Destroyed, remade, or radically changed, his world is clay. Olympus is empty. The gods are here.

As the duo continued into the small town, they quickly found a group of humans talking amongst one another. “My lady! Here!” Tor whispered, pulling Reshi into the brush so as they could listen in.
“Are you sure this is what you saw Brycen?” an older gentleman asked, turning towards a tomed man clad in various hues of blue. The man spoke strongly. “I am. It was alight just a few days ago, mere hours after they left with their god. A search revealed nothing however.”
Reshi looked at the man curiously, before turning to Tornadus. Following his gaze, he seemed to be staring at the man as well. “Tor? Human catch your eye?” she asked.
“Perhaps.” He replied, flashing her a toothy grin. “They’re all talking about you.” Turning her attention back towards them, she listened intently.
“Perhaps it was nothing.”
“No, whatever it was, the goddess has returned. We just need to find where she is.”
“Actually…” The older man turned towards a younger human. “She needs to find her. N won the god’s favor by proving himself to him. Our young trainer needs to win the goddess’s favor now.”
Reshi watched as the teenager nodded towards the older man. She fixed her belt and cap, and stared up with a determined expression. “I won’t let you down. I swear it.” Something about her intrigued the goddess. If she was truly going to try and win her favor, then she would have to keep an eye on her.
The girl quickly released a pokemon from her own pokeballs, before flying off into the sky. The older duo continued to discuss amongst themselves as they retreated into the villiage further.
“We have to hope she is able to find her in time.”
“Lenora might be able to assist us. She would be the most well read on Unova’s history.”
“Perchance, though she knows more about the fossils rather than the society.”
“Perchance? You cannot just say that Alder.”
“Why not? It works well no?”
“No.”
Reshi watched for a moment longer, before rising to her feet.
“Let’s continue on Tornadus.”
“We should be careful My Lady. It might be wise to not show our true selves infront of the humans.”
She stopped for a moment to look over at him, a confused expression crossing her face. “Are you certain? It seemed like they were searching for me?” Her brows furrowed. “I haven’t walked among humanity before, what makes now different?”
“It will be far easier to discern someone’s true intentions when they don’t know who you are, rather than them playing to your interests.” She looked away, contemplating for but a moment. “That would-I understand…I suppose.”

Tor Books EPIC Holiday Gift Guide For Your Oddball Family
Tumblr media
Hello hello, and welcome back to our annual TOR BOOKS HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE, where we give you what we think are the best gifts for the hyper specific, super chaotic individuals in your life. From your childhood BFF to your mildly traumatized game master, we have a whole slew of bookish picks for you this holiday season. Enjoy, and Happy Holidays, y’all!
by Rachel Taylor and a cat
Tumblr media
For your long suffering GM (Game Master) who just wants a break from your party — via tenor
Anyone who acts as game master for Dungeons & Dragons (or any other TTRPG, to be frank) deserves an award for powering through all the shenanigans their party puts them through. From attempting to fight a dragon with a fork to accidentally leading your party off a cliff, your deeply stressed out GM deserves a cozy novel to help them decompress. Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree is out now and, for an extra little something, you can submit your receipt to get an adorable acrylic charm, a perfect addition to your gift!
Tumblr media
For your cousin who remained loyal and never left Tumblr — via GIPHY
You remember the Tumblr exodus of 2019, and for shame—you were part of it, you fragile soul. But not your cousin. Resolute, they stood by their blog and posted through the long, long night. Three years later, Tumblr is resurging and you need a gift for the one who never lost faith. What’s more Tumblr than magic danger-nerds alternatively hooking up with and hating each other as they conduct research and mainline caffeine and/or alcohol? Redeem your past mistakes with the perfect bookly gifts for your cousin: Olivie Blake’s The Atlas Six and thrilling sequel, The Atlas Paradox.
Tumblr media
For the enthusiastic players who got their GM Legends & Lattes — @lookhuman via GIPHY
You love the players at your table, but even after years of collaborative TTRPG storytelling, you’ve never once anticipated the many ways they have conspired to unravel every plot thread you’ve ever written. How then could you ever predict what they might like as a gift? Easy. Just listen to us: Daughter of Redwinter by Ed McDonald is a fantastic epic fantasy about a girl who can A) see ghosts, and B) turn people into them with an expertly placed arrow, if she takes the mind. Of course, if anyone finds out about her power, she’s dead, and circumstances have led her to become a ward in the monastery of the very warrior-magi that would execute her. Oops! What gamesplayer can resist a quick-paced and twisting tale of magic, adventure, and deceit?
Tumblr media
For your ex-boyfriend who’s still blowing up your phone with House of the Dragon TikTok’s — via GIPHY
So your ex-boyfriend (who you’re still friends with, DESPITE THE ADVICE OF OTHERS) just finished House of the Dragon and he won’t stop texting you about how much it sucks to have to wait 2 years for season 2. He’s right, but you can still give him a new epic fantasy to obsess over with The First Binding by R.R. Virdi. At over 800 pages, it’ll keep him busy for quite a while AND it also doubles as a premium bludgeoning weapon for you if he doesn’t appreciate your gift. Win win!
Tumblr media
For your chronically-online uncle who needs to stop doomscrolling for his own health — @dualvoidmania via GIPHY
He’s mister doom-and-gloom. If there’s an upsetting tweet, you’ve seen it because he’s retweeted it. You don’t quite know him well enough to be comfortable with direct intervention. You need to gift him Last Exit by Max Gladstone. It’s a book about the death of idealism and the rot that creeps through the cracks of reality like so many corrosively fecund vines. It’s about a generation who thought they would transform the world and failure’s fallout. He’ll still be very DOOM-ful, but in an artistically fun, yet still scary way.
Tumblr media
For your brother who is OBSESSED with The Wheel of Time on Amazon Prime — via GIPHY
So your brother watched The Wheel of Time on Amazon Prime and has fallen down the 14+ book-deep rabbithole that is Robert Jordan’s timeless epic fantasy series. Help him delve even further into the lore with Origins of the Wheel of Time by Michael Livingston! He’ll be able to learn even more about all the mythology and legends that inspired Robert Jordan’s universe and you’ll get some peace and quiet while he’s absorbed in his new book.
Tumblr media
For your sister who always has at least 5 open browser tabs of Ao3 fics — via Gfycat
Who among us hasn’t spent some time reading fix-it fics on Ao3? Well, no one compares to your sister, who currently has 30 tabs open on her iPhone filled with her favorite OTP falling in love 30 different ways (IF THE SHOW WON’T GIVE THEM A HAPPILY EVER AFTER, THE INTERNET WILL). You can’t buy her the perfect 100 chapter slow burn coffee shop fix-it fic of her OTP, but you CAN buy her Ocean’s Echo by Everina Maxwell! It features all the choicest tropes like mutual pining, slowburn, and fake dating and will be sure to put a smile on her face for the holidays.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
For your estranged mother, to subtly let her know that your relationship still requires some Conversations — via GIPHY & tenor
Do you want to give your mother a gift that’s also a hint about how you feel about your tumultuous parental relationship? Just Like Home by Sarah Gailey is the gift for her! It’s got great thriller vibes, with a daughter coming back to her family home for the first time after her father was arrested for being a serial killer…which she kind of caused. And mom’s still holding a grudge over a DECADE later. It’s got drama, monsters, and enough parallels to make your mom go ‘Wait, is this f*cking play about US?!’
Tumblr media
For the loved one in your life who waited 2.5 years to finally see My Chemical Romance live in Fall 2022 — @KyleeConriquez via GIPHY
A million years ago (Or two and a half. Whatever. Time is meaningless mush) your loved one planned to attend the My Chemical Romance reunion. A show that would eventually be put off and off and off due to ongoing events until earlier this year. It was epic, but you know what else is? Book of Night by Holly Black. Your loved one won’t have to wait 900~ days for this literary event, and just like an MCR show, they’ll want to acquire (more) goth clothes and tattoos after.
Tumblr media
For the childhood BFF everyone called a ‘voracious reader’ growing up / anyone who was ‘a delight to have in class’ — via Goodreads
Did your childhood BFF simply devour every book in front of her? Is she still That Person whose TBR pile is precariously stacked in the corner of her living room, a threat to anyone who brushes too close? Give her a book to really whet her appetite for reading in The Book Eaters by Sunyi Dean, where a very special family literally sustains themselves entirely by eating books. Did we bite a book while reading this to see if we were book eaters? Who’s to say.
Tumblr media
For your college best friend with at least one historical quote tattoo — via GIPHY
Does your college best friend have an encyclopedic knowledge of historical retellings? Do they have, at minimum, one historically linked tattoo that prompts a 20 minute lecture whenever someone asks what it means? Do they have five different editions of The Song of Achilles on their shelf? And most importantly, do they crave a new, queer retelling to sink their teeth into? Look no further! Neon Yang has a Joan of Arc inspired, post-apocalyptic sci-fi story for you. Check out The Genesis of Misery, ​​starring a queer and diverse array of pilots, princesses, and prophetic heirs.
Tumblr media
For the ambiguously LGBTQ+ niece whose fashion sense you try to understand, but ultimately makes you feel insecure about how fast you’re aging — @yifan via GIPHY
You love them, but no one makes you feel old like your nebulously but definitely queer niece. They’re so cool, and are very helpful in keeping you up to date on the hippest trends, but every time you talk to them, you feel the pent-up years in your joints. Get your niece A. K. Larkwood’s The Serpent Gates series, including The Unspoken Name and The Thousand Eyes. It’s about a gay orc death priestess who rebrands herself as a garbage wizard’s personal assassin and picks up a gods-cursed, magi-baddie mid-adventure. There are cosmic gods, ancient ruins, devious machinations, and a lot of awesome gay stuff.
Tumblr media
For the sibling on their third+ rewatch of The Expanse — via GIPHY
We get it. Your sibling buddy is bummed that The Expanse has finished its TV run and is still hopelessly in love with its marriage of adrenaline-flooding action and introspective parsing of human expansion / empire. Again, we do get it, and what you need to get is Sweep of Stars by Maurice Broaddus.
Tumblr media
For the nephew who you gifted The Way of Kings to last year — via GIPHY
Your nephew reads through books at speeds generally known only to muscle cars and lightning, and he needs long fantasy books now! The time required to produce the next installment in an epic series is often as long as the books themselves, which is unfortunate since it’s time for you to gift your nephew another book. Here’s the good news: Brandon Sanderson writes as fast as your nephew reads, and his long-awaited continuation of the Mistborn series, The Lost Metal, is the perfect gift. And then next year you can get him the next Brando Sando, and the book cycle of giving goes on and on and on.
We hope you and your loves ones have a happy and safe holiday season! Did we miss a super niche friend/family member that you want to see a gift for? Let us know in the comments!

Part 1 / Den nye jenta ~ Part 2 / Som en jeg kjenner ~ Part 3 / Rolig til sinns
Also published on Wattpad
Tumblr media
Summary: The part where you and Laurits try to get ready for the party at the Jutul cabin. And you start to see more colours of Laurits.
Laurits and I walked to where I live with Liv, which is apparently not very far from his home. He laughed that it must be destiny that I ended up in ‘this shit neighbourhood’ just like him.
I left him to wait on the steps outside the house, by his request, then quickly changed my outfit into something good enough for the party and a motorcycle ride. 
“Hope I didn’t take too long.” I came out and locked the door.  Once I turned around, Laurits clearly looked me up and down, and back up again. “What are you doing?”
“Checking you out, clearly.” he huffed with a smirk, evidently not embarrassed at all. I laughed a bit and shook my head at how unbothered this dude is.
“I assume you need to make yourself pretty as well?” I was half joking, but his expression was so genuine, like it’s common sense.
“Of course, what do you think, I’ll miss an opportunity to show off a banger outfit? C’mon, Y/N, honestly.”
Ok, now I really want to see what he has in mind.
I was about to say I’ll wait outside, when he basically dragged me in as soon as I opened my mouth. We stumbled in, both of us giggling like idiots when I tripped over my own feet and nearly fell nose first on the floor.
“Laurits?” I heard a concerned woman’s voice come from inside the house. I stiffened up and got serious in a second. That has to be his mother, and I would hate to make a first bad impression. Childhood trauma, put a pin in it.
He gave a weird look and I just shook my head like ‘not now’. Soon enough we walked closer to the dining/kitchen area and his mother raised her eyebrows upon seeing me.
“Mom, this is Y/N, she’s an exchange student from Y/C. Please don’t be weird while I go change.” he spilled quickly, giving her a pleading look then jogging up the stairs, leaving me with his mother. 
With his mother, whom I don’t know how fluent in English she is, and me, not very fluent in Norwegian. 
I just smiled shily. Seriously, what should I say besides hi??
“Kaffe eller te? (Coffee or tea?)” she asked finally, smiling warmly.
“Kaffe, takk. (Coffee, thanks.)” Oh thank Gods, something simple.
“Med sukker? (With sugar?)”
“Ja, takk! (Yes, please!)”
I looked around the lilac coloured room. Pretty cosy for such an old house.
“Vær så snill, sitt ned. (Please, sit down.)” She came back with a cup of coffee and put her hand on my back, leading me to the dining table.
I just nodded smiling, took the cup from her hands and sat down.
“Jeg heter Turid. Og du er…? (My name is Turid. And you are…?)” she trailed off. Naturally, she forgot my name after Laurits just blurted all of that out so quickly.
“Y/N. Det er hyggelig å møte dere. (It’s nice to meet You.)” I hoped I was being polite enough how I spoke, feeling my cheeks heating.
“Samme her. (Same here.)” she said, squeezing my hand in an assuring manner. I gave her a more relaxed smile.
“Um, does Laurits usually take a long time getting ready?” I asked, sipping the coffee.
“O, noen ganger. (Oh, sometimes.)” she sighed with a laugh. “Gå, besøk ham. (Go, visit him.)”
I blinked a few times, unsure. Visit him?
She probably saw the confusion in my face and jokingly nudged me to get up and pointed upstairs. I let out an awkward laugh, finished up my coffee and went upstairs.
His room door was quite obvious - some punk rock music playing through the door loud enough. I knocked hard so he really hears me.
The door opened shortly, with Laurits half dressed, hair disheveled. Quite an annoyed look on his face.
“What’s wrong?” I raised an eyebrow.
“Can’t fucking find anything to wear.” he muttered and let me in.
I couldn’t hold in the laughter that bubbled up from my chest. He threw me a dark glare.
“I’m sorry. I am. Just… same problems here.” I defended myself. “Ok, Prince, let’s see what we can do about this horrible horrible situation.”
He smirked and steered me by my shoulders to his small messy wardrobe.
“Dear Gods, Laurits, this looks miserable. Is it always like this?” I motioned to the mess, and gave him a very dramatic-comical look. 
“I need your help picking something out, not your commentary on the wardrobe itself.”
“Okej, but my help comes with commentary, so…” I laughed while digging through the clothes. Picked up something that cannot be his - a floral shirt. “Hej, how about this wonderful piece? You’ll be the talk of the night, for sure.” 
He just stared at me through his eyebrows, not saying anything. I chuckled, kind of nervously, because it would feel better if he said something! Now it makes me think he’s rather planning something mischievous. 
“No? Not fancy enough for you?” I looked at the shirt myself, as if examining it. “I’d say go for it.” I nearly laugh-snorted, imagining him in this.
Only that what escaped my mouth was a blood curdling scream.
Because this bastard buried his thin fingers between my ribs. And seeing how tickling apparently I am, he locked me in his arms, my back to his chest, and kept torturing me.
“Take it back!” he almost growled in my ear.
“Neeeeeiiii! Neverrrr aaahhh-hahaha!” I yelled and erupted in hysterical laughter once he assaulted my sides again. Tears streaming down, my cheeks and stomach aching from laughter.
“I can do this all night.” he grunted with laughter.
“T-that sounds aahahah p-p-perverted!!” I screamed, trying to break free, but he held me quite tightly. “F-f-fuck ooooff!!” I kept laughing hysterically and kicking the air.
The door to Laurits’ room flew open with a crash and we just froze.
Magne is standing widely in the doorway, looking fairly surprised. And wait, is he holding a fucking huge-ass hammer?
“What is going on?” Magne broke the silence and loud rock music background, his cheeks getting a tint of pink when his eyes darted between us two.
This probably looked interesting. Me, screaming bloody murder here, his brother shirtless, with me locked in his arms.
“Please leave. I am busy serving Justice.” Laurits said suddenly in a very calm tone. “And what were you thinking of doing with that thing?” he mocked, motioning to the hammer in Magne’s hand. Which he hid behind him awkwardly. 
“N-nothing.” he stammered, then looked at me. “Are you really ok?”
“Yes, Magne. We’re just fighting. I think.” I chuckled and looked over my shoulder at Laurits.
I felt a shiver run down my body, because his gaze was stone cold towards Magne. Like he completely shifted, his hold on me tightening like a python slowly strangling its prey.
I lightly squeezed his hand that was around my waist. Only then did he break eye contact with Magne and turned his attention to me. 
“You ok?” I asked quietly. His gaze slowly softened and he nodded. Then wordlessly let go of me and just shut the door in his brother’s face.
