COVER MAKEOVER!!
twelve years ago, my very very first book baby SNOW LIKE ASHES came kicking and screaming into this world, and i got to share with you all a story about a white haired warrior girl from the kingdom of winter who was trying to save her people from the kingdom of spring. this story lived with me for almost a decade, grew with me through high school and college, and seeing it on shelves was one of the most impactful moments of my life.
and now, my debut series is getting a redesign!
seeing these new covers come to life (with art by the BRILLIANTLY talented @golightlyfinch ) brought me to tears at every single stage — and just look at these finished products!! meira! mather! theron! the conduits! THE CHAKRAM!!
these gorgeous editions will be available in the UK starting june 18 (US details coming soon!) and are up for preorder now!

A striking fantasy tale of dark magic, dangerous politics, and discovering your true self—perfect for fans of Game of Thrones, An Ember in the Ashes and A Court of Thorns and Roses.
Sixteen years ago the Kingdom of Winter was conquered and its citizens enslaved, leaving them without magic or a monarch. Now the Winterians’ only hope for freedom is the eight survivors who managed to escape, and who have been waiting for the opportunity to steal back Winter’s magic and rebuild the kingdom ever since.
Orphaned as an infant during Winter’s defeat, Meira has lived her whole life as a refugee. Training to be a warrior—and desperately in love with her best friend, Winter’s future king—she would do anything to help Winter rise to power again.
So when scouts discover the location of the ancient locket that can restore Winter’s magic, Meira decides to go after it herself—only to find herself thrust into a world of evil magic and dangerous politics—and ultimately comes to realize that her destiny is not, never has been, her own.

It is my stop on the tour for The Demonic Inventions of Aurelie Blake by @mararutherfordwrites and I am so grateful to @bookramblerpr and @harper360ya for sending me a copy of the book 🥰
I am just over halfway through and I am absolutely obsessed with this intricate and beautifully written story! The concept of creativity being forbidden was so intriguing and the execution is so perfect. I really love the protagonists and I am very excited to see what happens!

🖤 Inventor x demon hunter
S Y N O P S I S
In Wisteria, the very act of innovation is forbidden. Any creation—art, music, engineering—conjures a demon from the other side. The greater the innovation, the more dangerous the demon.
This has never stopped Aurelie from inventing—but it has made it more difficult. Her inventions are small by necessity, producing demons that she is capable of dispatching alone. But she knows she’s meant for something greater, and each day has her chafing more at the boundaries of her society.
Destrier lost his parents to demons as a child, and has devoted his life to preventing more senseless murder at the hands of demons. He was young when he joined the hunters, and each year he’s grown stronger. But it’s never enough.
When a mysterious figure offers Aurelie a job she can’t refuse—an impossible, magnificent invention—her decision to accept sets off a chain of events that will alter every aspect of their world… and sparks the connection that will change both Aurelie and Des irrevocably.

Synopsis
A standalone mystery from a New York Times bestselling, Edgar Award-winning author set in a contemporary world tinged with magic, in which two sisters spend summer vacation in a small town in the shadows of abandoned amusement park that is not what it seems.
Ivy and Dahlia Vicar know this summer’s trip to visit friends in Rialto, Missouri, is going to be different from their usual family vacations.
Twelve-year-old Dahlia, an artist who lives with anxiety, is looking forward to something new. Rialto, after all, has its own abandoned theme park! But mystery-loving, fourteen-year-old Ivy is struggling with how to be the right kind of big sister to Dahlia, and longs for the way things—especially vacations—were when they were younger.
In Rialto, it quickly becomes clear that this vacation will also be different in totally unexpected ways. For one thing, the town stands in the middle of an improbable forest that, according to local legend, swallowed it overnight decades before. Then there are Dahlia’s even more improbable sightings of impossible creatures—a giraffe with antlers and a leopard with wings. And there’s their new friend Remy, whose family inherited the house they’re all staying in from an aunt who left bequests for local friends that Remy must personally distribute.
When he enlists Ivy and Dahlia to help deliver these gifts, they find themselves drawn into a mystery going back to the time when Rialto Park was still open. And it begins to seem that, if they are going to help Remy solve it, they will have to find a way to believe in magic.

Throwback Thursday with the delightful @beckyalbertalli 💓 Talk about a career highlight. Two years ago (to the day!), I was lucky enough to be in-conversation with Becky at one of my favourite bookstores @kinokuniya_sydney to chat about her beloved YA novel Imogen, Obviously. What a treat to see her devoted fans and readers pour so much love into her and vice versa - a masterclass in making people feel seen and accepted for exactly who they are. Becky was also incredibly generous with her platform and gave The Unexpected Mess of it All so much love. Such a special night… and I can’t believe it was two years ago! 🩵💛🩵💛

I AM EMOTIONAL. ARES YIN, THE MAN THAT YOU ARE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Chanel is iconic, Ares is a fantastically layered and wonderful MMC. The tension 😫 the yearning 😫
Obviously the plot is brilliant because Ann Liang wrote it. There were aspects I would have liked to have been explained/resolved further (both characters’ family drama), but I was satisfied with the ending overall.
Always and forever an Ann Liang stan 🫶
