I have to admit that it took me a couple of tries to get into The Bone Witch because of the slow pacing, but now that I’ve finished the book I am 200% invested! Can’t wait to get started on The Heart Forger, which I’ve heard is even better ♥️ • • • Necromancy, anti-heroine, slow-burn romance, cultural inspirations from the geiko of Gion (based loosely on the life of Mineko Iwasaki, the geiko who Arthur Golden interviewed for Memoirs it a Geisha... but the less we talk about Golden’s book, the better.) You should definitely check this series out! • • • #thebonewitch

If you loved Uprooted have I got good news for you, because Spinning Silver is even better! It’s my favourite Naomi Novik novel to date. The way she slowly introduced and weaves new point of views into the story is masterful. • • • It also has things I love like: independent women with different strengths and goals, reinvention of a fairy tale, deals and bargains, and not one but two slow burn romance. YESSSSS.

Happy Tuesday everyone! It was the long weekend for us Aussies, so I got lots of reading, eating, and tv binging done! • • I’m just finished watching American Crime Story: The People Against O. J. Simpson and I’m so excited for season 2. I love watching crime and mystery but haven’t quite managed to get into them as books. The last crime novel I read was The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino which I enjoyed immensely! Do you have a rec for my next crime/mystery read? • • • Speaking of mystery, can anyone guess which book this is from? 😂

Ok if you’ve been on twitter you’ll already know that The Poppy War is my favourite book of 2018 🔥 I haven’t stopped talking about it since I finished the book last month. • • • It’s a fantasy based on Chinese military history, where people have the power to channel the gods. The main character, Rin, is the anti-heroine I’ve always wanted in my life. It’s brutal and beautiful and bloody brilliant. I really want to say everyone should read it, but the last third is quite graphic and potentially triggering. Content warning for genocide, rape, drug abuse, human experimentation, torture, murder, self harm, ableism. • • • If you’ve read the book and loved it, I’m hosting a chapter by chapter reread weekly on my blog so you should join me! I’ve also created a The Poppy War wikia so everyone who’s read and loved it should come help me edit, pls ♥️🔥 • • • What’s your favourite read of 2018 so far? #thepoppywar

It’s the first day of #1KBE! A challenge I’m hosting with @litcelebrasian to promote the authors of A THOUSAND BEGINNINGS AND ENDINGS! I’m starting off with Smoke in the Sun by @reneeahdieh 🌸 • • • I love these cover changes that are putting WoC front and centre, between this and the AEITA changes my bookshelf is living its best life! What are your favourite series cover change? Or your least favourite? • • • • #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookphotography #bookblogger #books #tbr #currentlyreading #booksandflowers #booktography #booklover #bookworm #booknerdigans #booklion #bookstagrammer #bookstagramfeature #vscobooks #vscoreads

It’s the long weekend here, so it’s time for me to inspect my TBR and choose my next read! I have the following choices: • Pachinko by Min Jin Lee - I’ve only heard rave reviews about this one, which explores the lives of Korean immigrants in Japan. • The Book of M by Peng Shepherd: a dystopia where people are losing their shadows and their memories, promises to be an exploration of humanity. • The Heart Forger by Rin Chupeco: I’ve been enjoying The Bone Witch the past few days and heard this one is even better! Necromancy and subterfuge with heavy influences from the geiko culture in Kyoto! • • What are you reading this weekend?
