Thank you @thomasallenltd for this complimentary copy of Veronica G. Henry’s Bacchanal! 🙌🏼 I’m currently working on my review for this book! But I’m the meantime, here’s the synopsis: Abandoned by her family, alone on the wrong side of the color line with little to call her own, Eliza Meeks is coming to terms with what she does have. It's a gift for communicating with animals. To some, she's a magical tender. To others, a she-devil. To a talent prospector, she's a crowd-drawing oddity. And the Bacchanal Carnival is Eliza's ticket out of the swamp trap of Baton Rouge. Among fortune-tellers, carnies, barkers, and folks even stranger than herself, Eliza finds a new home. But the Bacchanal is no ordinary carnival. An ancient demon has a home there too. She hides behind an iridescent disguise. She feeds on innocent souls. And she's met her match in Eliza, who's only beginning to understand the purpose of her own burgeoning powers. Only then can Eliza save her friends, find her family, and fight the sway of a primordial demon preying upon the human world. Rolling across a consuming dust bowl landscape, Eliza may have found her destiny. [Image Description: A photograph of a paperback copy of Bacchanal by Veronica G.

I’m not very far into this WIP so I can’t really say that there are many interesting lines (especially since I’m fast drafting) but this one I suppose brings a few questions to mind. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #wipjoy #writingquotes #✍🏾 #fastdraft #firstdraft #tobeahero #novella #readersofinsta #storytellerscafe #wordgasm #storyexcerpt #writemore #writeon #writeyourownstory #diversefiction #igwriting #writersmovement #wattpadbook #wattpadwriter #creativeprocess

Do you read contemporary fiction? 📖💛 I dooo and have been learning more toward adult contemporary recently. I’m super excited to pick up The Perfect Find by Tia Williams! Seven Days in June by her was one of my favourite reads of 2021, so I cannot wait 💛🤩 Synopsis: Jenna Jones, former It-girl fashion editor, is forty, broke and desperate for a second chance. When she’s dumped by her longtime fiancé and fired from Darling magazine, she begs for a job from her arch nemesis, Darcy Vale. Darcy, the beyond-bitchy publisher of StyleZine.com, agrees to hire her rival – only because her fashion site needs a jolt from Jenna’s old school cred. But Jenna soon realizes she’s in over her head. Jenna’s working with digital-savvy millennials half her age, has never even “Twittered,” and pretends to still be a Fashion Somebody while living a style lie (she sold her designer wardrobe to afford her sketched-out studio, and now quietly wears Walmart’s finest). What’s worse is that the twenty-two-year-old videographer assigned to shoot her web series is driving her crazy. Wildly sexy with a smile Jenna feels in her thighs, Eric Combs is way off-limits – but almost too delicious to resist. 🌼🌼🌼 [Image Description: A hand holding up a paperback copy of Tia Williams’ The Perfect Find in a living room setting.

It's back to book posting! 💫 Whilst I really enjoyed the overall plot of this book and the dystopian jungle setting I felt this book moved way too fast to feel anything or really connect 😩 The plot is fast paced but to the point I felt things were skimmed over🤷 Because of this I feel like we also missed out on a good initial world and character building because it just jumps straight into the action. This might not be an issue for some that enjoy very fast paced, quick reads but I personally enjoy having a bit more of a connection with characters or the world so I need that build up to really enjoy a book. I was impressed by the diversity and representation that was effortlessly weaved into the book and for a dystopian fantasy with a twist it was surprisingly believable to read which I feel is testament to the authors skill 👌 Overall, I think the book has a great premise and a lot of potential but would benefit from being more fleshed out it's terms of character and world building 💁 #undergrowth #chelhylott #chelsealim #NetGalley #ninestarpress #diversefiction #diversityinbooks #LGBTIQ #lgbtiqbooks #dystopia #dystopianfiction #yafiction #youngadultliterature #yalit #whatimreading #reading #books #ebooks #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #bookreview #bookreviewer #bookblogger #bibliophile #bookishcommunity (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6jVigTAVnO/?igshid=6yjrpkwhrqrn

It occurred to me last weekend that there is only one white person in my cast of characters this year, the rest are people of color. Last #NaNoWriMo I don’t even think there was a white character. . . When I’m scribbling characters straight from my mind without thinking too much on it, I don’t write white characters because I’m not white. It’s not until I start overthinking that it occurs to me, ‘oh maybe I should put a white character in here or there to appease people.’ I don’t think I’m gonna change that as I rewrite and edit this books over the next year or so. I’m gonna keep the cast raw and fresh, and decidedly POC. There aren’t enough poc in sci-fi. . ✍🏾 . . . . . . . . . . . #amwritingscifi #womenofcolor #peopleofcolor #diversefiction #diversitymatters #writingofig #nanowrimo #writerofig #igwriting #writerscommunity #nanowrimo2017 #bookblogger #storytelling #whenshescribbles #wattpadlife #writeaway #writeon #writeyourownstory #womanofcolor #writersdesk #wocwriters #writersoftumblr #creativeculture #writeoff #writemore #writersworld #writersmovement #scribbles #thoughts

A magical story with beautiful world building 💫 Foreign to You follows our two protagonists Finn and Adelaide on opposing sides of rising racial tension. Finn is a hunter. Human. Ruthless🔥 Finn's life is a tangled mess with his insane father, a dead mother, the death of the man he loves right before his eyes, ongoing attacks from feral Fianna and whispers of legends that may be able to change his life around. Adelaide is a Fianna. A shapeshifting deer. A prophesized leader of her kind 👑 Adelaide can't recall her life before waking up human one cycle. She's prophezised to lead her corrupted people from darkness back home to peace with their god. But the darkness is rampant and stronger than she knew 😈 There are a couple of twists and turns that are well thought out and overall this is an enjoyable read. It's well structured, has a beautiful world and the author builds and sustains emotion brilliantly ❤ It's not exactly a book I'd read and fall in love with myself purely because I have these ingrained ideals of deer (Bambi🦌) and I just couldn't wrap my head around the concept of "were-deer" I guess you could call them if we're being blunt. BUT... OH BOY BUT - This is still a great book. I read it within 48 hours because I was constantly intrigued and all the characters are believable and beautiful. I have to give it 4 stars. Anything less feels like a rip off 👌 #bookreview #foreigntoyou #netgalley #yafiction #youngadult #yalit #youngadultbooks #diversefiction #LGBTIQ #LGBTIQfiction #representationmatters #book #books #newrelease #fiction #fantasy #yafantasy #bookishcommunity #bookworm #booklover #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #booksofig #reader #reading #readersofinstagram #readersofig (at Belanglo State Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtUidsiHiKv/?igshid=1nwb3sgtbdm7b
