[Book Tour] Hello everyone!! Today I am really excited to share with you Midnight Strikes by Zeba Shahnaz (@zaybashahwrites), which is a YA Fantasy. The book will be released tomorrow March 14th. *** About the book: In this explosive fantasy debut with a time-loop twist, a provincial girl must work with a roguish prince to stop an attack on the royal family and escape a nightmarish curse that forces them to relive the same night again and again. Seventeen-year-old Anaïs just wants tonight to end. As an outsider at the kingdom’s glittering anniversary ball, she has no desire to rub shoulders with the nation’s most eligible (and pompous) bachelors—especially not the notoriously roguish Prince Leo. But at the stroke of midnight, an explosion rips through the palace, killing everyone in its path. Including her. The last thing Anaïs sees is fire, smoke, chaos . . . and then she wakes up in her bedroom, hours before the ball. No one else remembers the deadly attack or believes her warnings of disaster. Not even when it happens again. And again. And again. If she’s going to escape this nightmarish time loop, Anaïs must take control of her own fate and stop the attack before it happens. But the court’s gilded surface belies a rotten core, full of restless nobles grabbing at power, discontented commoners itching for revolution, and even royals who secretly dream of taking the throne. It’s up to Anaïs to untangle these knots of deadly deceptions . . . if she can survive past midnight. *** You can find the rest of the tour schedule on their website (link on my Linktree). *** @tbrbeyondtours #MidnightStrikes #TBRBeyondTours #ZebaShahnaz #fantasyreader #fantasybook #bookaddict #bookcommunity #readingismagic #bookblogger #bookreviewer #greekbookstagram #instavivlio #vivlio #diavazo #eucitesc #mybookfeatures #over30sbookstagram #bookstamums #booknotes_athina (at Sitia , Crête) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvafWHLH2e/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello everyone!! Do you like reading non-fiction books? I really like reading non-fiction books that focus on the history of something. I find them very informative and a great palette cleanser between my usual reads. A Little History of Science traces the march of science through the centuries. The book is well-written and you can easily read and comprehend it regardless of your knowledge in the subject. A great read for children and adults alike.

[Book Tour] Hello everyone! Today I am really excited to share wth you Spice Road by Maiya Ibrahim (@maiya_ibrahim), which is a YA fantasy and the first book in The Spice Road Trilogy. The book was released yesterday January 24th. Spice Road has Middle Eastern, Arabian & Lebanese representation. In this epic and action-packed fantasy, one young heroine navigates the treacherous road between protecting the ones you love and staying loyal to the place you call home *** Check out my post on my blog Book Notes by Athina for more information, as well as the link to the rest of the tour scedule. *** Synopsis: In the hidden desert city of Qalia, secret spice magic awakens affinities in those who drink the misra tea. With an affinity for iron, seventeen-year-old Imani wields a dagger like no other warrior, garnering her the reputation as the next greatest Shield for battling the dangerous djinn, ghouls, and other monsters that lurk in the sands beyond city limits. Her reputation has been overshadowed, however, by her brother who tarnished the family name after he was discovered stealing their nation’s coveted spice – a tell-tale sign of magical obsession. He disappeared soon after, believed to have died beyond the Forbidden Wastes, and leaving Imani reeling with both betrayal and grief. But when Imani uncovers evidence her brother may be alive and spreading their nation’s magic beyond the desert, she strikes a deal with the Council to find him and bring him back to Qalia before he can reveal the city’s location. Accompanied by Qayn, a roguish but handsome djinni, and Taha, a powerful beastseer whose magical talents are matched only by his arrogance, they set out on their mission. Imani will soon discover there are many secrets that lie beyond the Forbidden Wastes – and in her own heart – but will she find her brother before his betrayals endanger the fate of all of Qalia? *** @tbrbeyondtours #TBRBeyondTours #SpiceRoad #MaiyaIbrahim #fantasyreader #fantasybook #bookaddict #bookcommunity #readingismagic #bookblogger #bookreviewer #greekbookstagram #instavivlio #vivlio #diavazo #eucitesc #mybookfeatures #over30sbookstagram #bookstamums #booknotes_athina (at Sitia , Crête) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn2MJqXLytH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[Cover Reveal] Hello everyone!! Today I am really excited to share with the cover for Blood Moon Sanctum by Zian Schafer (@zian_schafer), which is a fantasy romance and the 1st bokk in A Curse of Obsidian & Silver series. The book will be realeased on March 23rd. *** About the book: ‘Daughter of the Blood Moon’ they call her. ‘The winner of the war’ they said. ‘The princess that will bring the gods back’ they claim. War is waging between the Black Bloods and the Paragon Dawn. Thetime has come for the other kingdoms to pick a side. Except there’s onething that will get in the way of pledging their unwavering allegiance:every king wants Princess Devereux’s heart on a platter, or worse, a ringaround her finger. Her plan is simple; find the witch that cursed her and stay hidden inplain sight so the prophecy may never come to life. Only one of thosetwo things has been doable; running from her crown was easy; dabblingin black-market trade has its benefits; getting rid of the curse, however,seems to be a fallacy. Her truth will be found in the pages of a long-forgotten book. But somebooks aren’t meant to be read. Some doors should never be unlocked. Because when he comes out, he’s not going back in. And once he is out,there’s no telling what monsters will crawl out of Hell with him. *** @sapphire_ink_press_ #SIPevents #sapphireinkpress #bloodmoonsanctum #fantasyreader #fantasybook #bookaddict #bookcommunity #readingismagic #bookblogger #bookreviewer #greekbookstagram #instavivlio #vivlio #diavazo #eucitesc #mybookfeatures #over30sbookstagram #bookstamums #booknotes_athina (at Sitia , Crête) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnPrLYtrpPE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
