Shopping Books Bienal São Paulo (2024)🇧🇷

I didn't take many photos or record many videos. I visited the stands of Galera Record, Arqueiro & Sextante, Flyve and many others. It was a magical experience that will live in my memory rent-free for a long time😹💖🦋

Have you read any of these books?📚

I love Trolls and had no idea there were books about them!

And I finally have the complete collection of A.G. Howard's books (I love a good Alice in Wonderland fanfic).

I also bought A Court of Mist and Fury (Acomaf). Honestly, I don't care about having the others. This is simply the best of the saga and the most well-structured.

Hey there! You can call me Faye, Fairy, Flower, whatever, I'm trying out a few new names.

I'm gonna be reviewing books I read, updates may be slow as I have classwork to do, and sometimes I simply cant read.

I'll try and be detailed, do quotes, reasons, pros, cons, whatever, and I'll take suggestions!

I of course reserve the right to say no to certain books, as they may contain triggers or simply be something I wouldnt be able to read.

New getting to know you game!

Favorite movie: My Neighbor Totoro. It's the first movie I can ever remember watching, and it will always, hands down, be my favorite. It started my love of Studio Ghibli movies.

Favorite book: Splintered by A.G. Howard. A dark and twisted Alice and Wonderland retelling about Alice's descendant, filled with a lot of crazy, creepy, and wonderful details. Read it years ago and it instantly became my favorite.

Favorite any fandom rare-pair: The Ancient One and Kaecilius. I always assumed they had a relationship, and I headcanon them as having had one. Unfortunately for me, there is very little content with this air. Six stories. Just. Six. If that isn't the ultimate rare-pair, I don't know what is it.

Movie and/or TV show that you watched in the past year that surprised you, but you would totally recommend: For the movie, that would be The Hunt (Jagten). Recommended to me by an AO3 author. It's about a man wrongly accused of sexually abusing a child in his kindergarten class, who is also the child of his best friend. I've never had a movie make me so angry before. I mean, I get why people were making assumptions and such, but what got to me most was the guy he had known since they were toddlers didn't even give him a moment's benefit of the doubt. Didn't take a single moment to listen to him. And the kid (teenager) who actually led to the whole thing happening, even unintentionally, never spoke up or was pointed out.

For the TV show, that's tied between Hannibal and Supernatural. I was little apprehensive about both, because while I wanted to watch Hannibal when it first aired, I wasn't allowed (too young) and I'd never watched anything so dark or violent. But now it's my favorite TV show, and I would totally recommend it. It's dark, twisted, and really intriguing. I love Hannigram.

As for Supernatural, I'd seen some clips of Sam and Dean over the years, and one episode I watched, they seemed like complete jerks, so I was iffy about starting it. I feel silly for being hesitant now, because it is SO good. It's funny, compelling, and interesting, even if sometimes the Winchester brother break-up angst gets on my nerves.

What's your profile pic and why?: Profile pic is Abigail Hobbs from Hannibal, in the episode Primavera. It went with my header, which I changed after getting mad at the old one (for petty personal reasons), and I love the lighting in it. I also really liked Abigail's outfit and hairstyle in that episode.

No pressure tagging: @keepmeinmind-01, @creative-girl, and @inastarlesssky, plus anyone else who wants to play! I don't know who follows me or is a mutual and likes to play these.

Ive recently started rereading splintered by a.g. howard and decided and i wanted to rewrite the story without jeb so heres a snippet of the first chapter then the link:

He looks shocked and hurt as I slam the door in his face. I lock it as I feel tears welling up in my eyes. Whether those tears are those of anger or sadness, I wasn’t sure. I just know I can’t help but to let them fall. I force myself to turn away from the door and continue on with what I was doing. I falter as I pick up my backpack that I previously left in the living room, hearing Jeb knocking on the door and calling out my name.

Rating: 4/5

Book Blurb:

New York Times bestselling author A.G. Howard continues her dark, compelling YA fantasy series about twins separated by a family curse.

Nix Loring stepped into Mystiquel to face the Goblin King and break her family's curse. When she found her twin, Lark, held captive for three years and forced to power the magical realm with her imagination, Nix offered herself up in her sister's place.

Now, Nix wants nothing more than to be home with the people she loves. Instead, she's tasked to create beauty from a world fallen to desolation. She finds herself drawn to the faerie creatures under her care-and even reluctantly drawn to the Goblin King himself. But how can she rebuild the very realm that tore her family apart?

Back home, her uncle and boyfriend desperately plan a rescue. But Lark, having learned Nix was meant to be the Goblin King's captive in the first place, resents how her twin stole everything belonging to her during her absence. Worse yet, Lark harbors an unspeakable secret that could destroy what little she has left.

As time draws closer to the rescue, Lark grapples with the darkness growing inside: should she help save her sister, or finally get her revenge?

Set in a gritty, atmospheric world filled with magical creatures, New York Times bestselling author A.G. Howard concludes her thrilling fantasy duology full of romance, twists, and betrayals.

Review:

Picking up where the first book left off, two twins swap lives, one thrust back into a human world she's forgotten and another sacrificing herself to take her sister's place in the fairy realm as it's new architect.... yet their family curse must find a way to end and it can only end with one of them dying. Phoenix "Nix" Loring and her sister Lark have swapped places, ever since Nix took Lark's place in the fairy realm as it's new architect to stop the rot that was growing and to help the Goblin King fix it.... she still yearns to go back to the human world. Meanwhile Lark, the other twin who has only ever known the fairy realm... who's own blood is now different is forced to take Nix's role in the human world while her heart yearns to be back with the Goblin King. Lark and the Goblin king share a connection but Lark was not the twin meant to fix the fairy realm and so she was sent away... yet as she is back in the human world her body is changing... and shes no longer human. As Nix repairs the fairy realm she begins to discover her sister's dark secrets and the betrayals... all the while trying to stop an evil force hell bent on taking over. Can Nix and Lark find a way to end their family curse and get both their happily ever afters without sacrificing one another? This was a nice ending to the series and I was happy to see both sisters get their happily ever afters. I loved the first book and this was a nice twist to the original story and inspiration. It's a overall really interesting series and one I'd recommend for anyone who likes the Goblin Market/Labyrinth themed stories with a dash of romance and intrigue!
