Alexandra Bracken's 2017 release!

You can look at the full details on Alexandra Bracken's website here

From what I understand this will be the first instalment in a new middle-grade series. It is about the main character, Prosper, who learns that he has a demon living inside him due to his great-great-great-great-great-something grandfather making and breaking a contract with a demon.
This demon has now reawakened and its sole purpose is to destroy the family who betrayed him - Prosper's family.

Now Prosper has days to banish the demon back to its own realm, however, it's not easy when the demon lives inside him and trying to trick Prosper into a contract. 'Yeah, Prosper will take his exorcism without a side of eternal servitude, thanks.'


I personally think this sounds like a really interesting concept and with Bracken's writing I know it will be amazing.

The release date for this title is September 5th 2017 and is currently available to pre-order on Barnes & Noble, iBooks, Indiebound and Amazon (American Site) / Amazon (English Site)

Diversity December Bingo!

Image
I understand that it is very hard to find diverse books (I know this from my own experience of trying to complete this bingo board for a few hours now) So I thought I would help you out a little. Throughout this post, I am under the impression that 'PoC' stands for 'Person of Colour'. If I am wrong then feel free to correct me and ignore the recommendations for PoC categories. Non-Western Cultural Fantasy - Daughter of the sword by Steve Bein This one was particularly hard for me as I have never read any books from this genre (and have only just really started to dabble into fantasy in general) I chose this book as it has a lot of good reviews. This book is described as an 'unusual fantasy' by many that is set in Japan across multiple eras. It is a contemporary story with a mix of detective and urban fantasy about an investigation into the attempted theft of an ancient sword. This book contains 3 period stories (two set in samurai periods and one se...

June TBR – Celebrating Pride Month Through Literature

Image
Hello hello hello! June, as we all know, is pride month. That’s why my tbr for June 2022 is filled with LGBTQIA+ stories to celebrate that these books are out in the world. At the beginning of this month I submitted my dissertation for my undergrad degree in English. For that paper I researched some of the history of sexuality laws and it made me so grateful of how far we have come in our love for all people. A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue – by Mackenzi Lee This historical fiction YA novel follows Henry Montague, or as we know and love him – Monty. Monty is raised as a gentleman but he is truly a rogue at heart. Drinking too much, gambling and sleeping with countless women… and men. Monty is bisexual in a time when this love could only be shown behind closed doors. Monty is in love with his best friend Percy who is leaving for college in Holland the following year. This book follows the two, along with Monty’s sister and a glorified baby sitter, on their year long tour of...

I'll Give You The Sun - Review with SPOILERS

I'll Give You The Sun - Jandy Nelson Beautiful. Stunning. Amazing. Wow I cannot believe how much I loved this book! Jandy writes this story from the perspective of twins, she writes the brother's, Noah's, perspective when he is 13-14 and the sister's, Jude's, perspective when she is 16. They grow apart in both perspectives but then come back together in Jude's last chapter. All of Jude's chapters are called 'The History of Luck' and Noah's are called 'The Invisible Museum'. These titles almost explain how each character is feeling at these points in their life. Noah makes art in his head after not being accepted at an art school and Jude believes she needs to have all of these good luck charms from her grandma's bible to survive. In Noah's perspective, he draws beautiful art and is in love with a boy called Brian. This love story goes from suppressed emotions to forced sexuality to admitting they liked each other. In Jude...
