"'It is meant to be the sanguine humor, robust and enduring, is it not? But perhaps that is why his cheeks glow so brightly.' She tilts her head speculatively. 'How strange, that such a taint could bring an even greater beauty to him. I would not have thought that possible.'" p 24*

*in no particular order
10. ERIN A. CRAIG--her debut House of Salt and Sorrows was one of my favorite reads last year and I cannot wait to see what else she'll write!
9. SARA FARING--her debut The Tenth Girl was eerie and weird and my kind of read! Looking forward to more of her books!
8. KATE ALICE MARSHALL--another debut author who wrote a pretty chilling read that's being optioned for film!! Hope she writes more horror stories! We need more YA Horror in the world--especially ones that tie to the paranormal!
7. THE DOLLHOUSE MURDERS by Betty Ren Wright--after growing up with the movie as a kid, I thought it was finally time to read the book since it was always challenging to find a copy!
6. THE EYES OF TAMBURAH by Maria V. Snyder--yet another delightful fantasy read from Maria that I can't wait to read more of!
5. ELISSA J. DESIGNS--an etsy shop with bookish inspired jewelry.
4. BRIO & BRANDISH--another delightful Etsy shop with more bookish inspired goodies like jewelry and enamel pins!
3. BOOKISH SIGNS AND MORE--you guessed it, another Etsy shop I stumbled upon this year! I got myself some Caraval signs!
2. PAGES OF THE NIGHT--a bookish Funko Pop shop! How did I not know about this site until this year!! Where have I been?! Lol.
1. BOOK WEIGHT--yes, it's weird I know! But I quickly fell in love with this nifty device because omg, trying to hold your book open and turn the page all while on a lunch break is extremely difficult if the book is one that doesn't like to stay open or if the pages aren't quite evened out yet! Very helpful and a new fave for me!
Great list! I've seen so many good reviews for House of Salt and Sorrows that one of these days I'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteI had looked into book weights back when I was attending a lot of conventions. It is definitely something that would make reading a physical book easier for me, when not traveling
ReplyDeleteI've heard some great things about House of Salt and Sorrows!
ReplyDeleteThat book weight looks good. Mind you, I read on my kindle when I'm outside.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was such a thing as a book weight. Neat!

ReplyDeleteI've never heard of a book weight before, but I need this - both for windy days and for mornings when I'm reading over breakfast.
