Finally, the last of the main character introductions from THE LIBRARIANS--i.e., everyone who works at the library. There are other very important characters, the romantic interest guys, that I'll let you discover for yourself. 😉 To preorder your copy: books2read.com/ST-Librarians

H0W OTHERS SEE ASTRID:

Hazel turns around; a young white woman in her late twenties waves. Other than the red streaks in her sandy hair, she looks a lot like a hobbit, round-faced, with pink cheeks and brown eyes. Hazel can see her dancing, in the exact dusty-rose sweater vest and long corduroy skirt she’s wearing, at Bilbo Baggins’s eleventy-first birthday party.
In other words, absurdly cute.

HOW ASTRID SEES HERSELF：

One does not become a librarian dreaming of luxury and acclaim. Astrid wants to be useful and she wants to achieve quiet contentment. But quiet contentment is beginning to feel like the hardest boss level in the game of life.

This is Hazel and I love Hazel and I don't say this lightly but it occurs to me just now that I might like to be Hazel? Or at least have resting enigmatic face, lol. B&N has a 25% off preorder promotion for members until 7/11. ARC giveaway for THE LIBRARIANS on Goodreads until 7/30.

How others see Hazel: Astrid has done a lot of fantasy casting over the years, putting faces—mostly those of well-known actors—onto characters from her favorite books. Hazel, she is sure, would have been perfectly cast as a woman with whom a chance encounter alters the course of a protagonist’s life.
Or at least costs them sleep and focus for a good long while.

HOW HAZEL SEES HERSELF

Hazel shrugs. “That’s always been my problem. I’m not cool; I just have resting enigmatic face.”

My first straight-up romance in ten years, as part of the AFTER THE END collection. Dystopian, but it's set far enough After The End that it's not about hardships and whatnot. I love reunited lovers, I love angst, and boy do I love magical amnesia so this novella is straight up my own alley!

Cover of Sherry Thomas's upcoming romance novella as part of the AFTER THE END collection. Cover features a beautiful Asian couple in a seated embrace against a background of waves. Blurb reads, "A handsome prince comes across a beautiful woman on the open sea. She is lying on a primitive-looking raft, almost entirely naked. What is he to do?" Tropes: magical amnesia, reunited lovers, star-crossed lovers.

What do I enjoy the most about THE LIBRARIANS? Lol, I started as a romance writer, so the romance, of course.

THE LIBRARIANS cover along with the following pull quote from the book:

She’s learned to live with her yearning and her regrets. And she’s come to believe that they have not only collected as sediments, but cemented into stone—after all, twelve years is a geological era. And she, an occasional visitor to the depths of her own heart, would run her fingers over fossilized memories caught in those prehistorical strata.

His reappearance overturned that tidy fantasy. Her yearning and her regrets have been locked away, yes, but like those children of the Khaleesi forced into the dungeon, they emerged instead as full-grown beasts, ravenous and more feral than ever.
