Might write a proper review later, idk yet. LOVED it. Nearly cried at the end. We're all made of stars (c) We're all part of the great cosmos, and our shining, sapphire orb, our Home. We can't take care of it, and it's better off without us💔 #book #booklover #bookworm #books

This will be my third Paver book. I adored Dark Matter and loved Thin Air, so my hopes are high for this one! #currentlyreading #readingnow #books #bookworm

It alludes to, or echoes, the uncertain times we find ourselves in. Quite often, everything feels incomprehensible and strange, as though we’re in the “wrong” version of our world. I believe the book captures that feeling well.

The prose is beautiful, and I loved his descriptions of various landscapes and seascapes. Some paragraphs are incredibly striking and I think will stay with me for a while. This is the sort of book that you should let wash over you, and I did, but I also stubbornly tried to parse it. I couldn’t.

When it comes to dialogue, I got the impression that the author worked some of the random bits of conversation he overheard in real life into the narrative, and that at times, the characters spoke of metaphysical dilemmas he was grappling with.

M. John Harrison is the writer whose books a lot of people adore but rarely understand. I enjoyed this one, but I can’t for the life of me tell you what it’s about. There’s some sort of alien invasion going on, perhaps from the astral plane. It might be about AI.

August book haul! 🤓📚📖 I’m very pleased with allll of these purchases. Some are secondhand, some are brand new. I love the smell of old books as much as that of freshly printed ones. Feeling super content 😌 #books #bookworm #bookhaul #bookstagram

The writing is atmospheric and gorgeous. I loved the increasing sense of creepiness and wrongness throughout. I had a lot of fun guessing what the mystery was, even though it was kind of obvious, it was still interesting to play around with different theories. I’ll 100% read more of Chidgey! #books

My heart is broken 😭❤️‍🩹 but the ending is bittersweet rather than purely sad. The book gave me a lot to think about, and the characters felt so real and vivid. I just wanted to swoop in and save them, the poor things 💔 #bookrecs #bookreview #books #booklover #bookworm

This is a very special book. It follows a group of friends clearing out an exquisitely derelict Victorian mansion, a gentle mystery pulling you in, unspooling with every page, hinting at the existence of some other place, a realm parallel to our own. #bookreview #bookstagram #books

My recent book haul. Purchasing new books, arranging them on my shelves, flipping through their pages, organising them according to my own system gives me so much joy. It’s a delightful, calming ritual, and the anticipation of diving into the worlds behind the covers is magical. #bookhaul #books

Only starting it but already head over heels in love with the prose! So lyrical and immersive. I had to immediately purchase another book by this author, just on the strength of the first page of this one. Hoping the plot won't disappoint, too! Excited to dive in and savour it. #currentlyreading

Your monthly reminder: Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write.

A mortal man with no memory of his past and a goddess the earth has no memory of compete for their university’s magic in a world where magic, and the language that sustains it, is dying… …and whichever student loses will have their own extinction to worry about 💀🥀 #QuestPit #AG #A
A woman with long, golden hair, amber eyes, freckles across her nose and cheeks, golden skin, and white flowers in her hair. She has a warm expression, and is holding an old green book and wearing a scarlet dress. Standing behind her is a man with dark, messy hair, deep blue eyes, pale skin, and sharp features. He’s frowning with his hands in his pockets, and is wearing a white shirt with leather braces. 

The image is stylised like a painting with a dark, stormy black and grey background, and features smudges and paint streaks that help create a dreamy sort of vibe to the portrait.

OF SONGS AND PHANTOMS is a darkly lush retelling of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, where the ingenue discovers her voice has forbidden magic, and the only way to save herself from being executed for witchcraft is to place her trust in a mysterious phantom. #Questpit #Q #A #RF
a collage with a ballerina, a cathedral, a marble staircase, a champagne flute, a single red rose, a chandelier, a pile of skulls, a pedestrian bridge, and a group of ballerinasPitch: Adult Romantasy, 110 000 words
As a chorus dancer in the Lutesse City Opera, classically trained soprano Seraphina Dallier does not sing in front of people. That is, until one fateful night, she slips up, and her heretically magical singing voice attracts the attention of a mysterious stranger…and the theocratic authorities. 
Accused of witchcraft and exiled from everything she has ever known, Seraphina must put her faith in that same stranger, seeking refuge with him in a seductive city of magic hidden beneath the city. But can she trust her heart? Or, will phantoms from her past come back to haunt her, threatening everything she has come to love?
For fans of...
phantom of the opera retelling, 1920s era, forbidden magic, shadow daddy mmc, he falls first...hard, female rage, lgbtq+ characters, slow burn to spicy spice (with three chili peppers), only one bed, found family Comp Titles:
The Gilded Wolves - magical parisian setting, diverse cast of characters 
Serpent and Dove - magic vs. church, sloooooooow burn, 
The Vine Witch - secrets and betrayals, "a handsome stranger"

Three-panel moodboard consisting of three pieces by Alphonse Mucha.

Left: Emerald. A serpent snarls at the viewer from amidst green lilies.
Center: The Moon. A woman wearing nothing but a navy blanket covered in stars stands against a backdrop consisting of the night sky and a crescent moon. She covers her smile with one hand. This image is noticeably lower in quality than its neighboring panels.
Right: Salon des Cent. A woman conceals her mouth with a hand, her index finger curled down. She's glaring intensely at the viewer.

A golden filigree lines the bottom and frames the sides, partially covering the left and right panels.
