Of Curses and Kisses by Sandhya Menon  

4th February 2020

I don't have a cover for this one so here's the synopsis...

Will the princess save the beast?

For Princess Jaya Rao, nothing is more important than family. When the loathsome Emerson clan steps up their centuries-old feud to target Jaya’s little sister, nothing will keep Jaya from exacting her revenge. Then Jaya finds out she’ll be attending the same elite boarding school as Grey Emerson, and it feels like the opportunity of a lifetime. She knows what she must do: Make Grey fall in love with her and break his heart. But much to Jaya’s annoyance, Grey’s brooding demeanor and lupine blue eyes have drawn her in. There’s simply no way she and her sworn enemy could find their fairy-tale ending… Right?

His Lordship Grey Emerson is a misanthrope. Thanks to an ancient curse by a Rao matriarch, Grey knows he’s doomed once he turns eighteen. Sequestered away in the mountains at St. Rosetta’s International Academy, he’s lived an isolated existence—until Jaya Rao bursts into his life. Sparkling and elegant, Jaya’s unlike anyone Grey has ever met. Still, he can’t shake the feeling that she’s hiding something. Something that might just have to do with the rose-shaped ruby pendant around her neck…

As the stars conspire to keep them apart, Jaya and Grey grapple with questions of love, loyalty, and whether it’s possible to write your own happy ending.

April 2019 Book Haul

It struck me that it had been a while since I had shared a book haul on here and so I thought I would post one. I personally love watching book hauls over on BookTube and so I think that is why I have reverted to just doing book hauls over on my channel. 

So I know it is a little lazy but I'm going to share a book haul by sharing my book haul video here with you now in case you had missed the fact that I only really do book hauls over there. I do gush about the feel and even the smell of books as I haul them and all of the buy links are in the description box in case you feel compelled to order any yourself!

Do let me know in comments what the last book you bought or received was...

Books and More March 2018 Haul!

I have another book haul for you today. Again rather than doubling up on a blog post listing everything and a video showing everything I'm going to share my video with you instead. All the links are in the description of the video in case you want to find out more about anything I've mentioned-enjoy!

Letterbox Love #7

Welcome to Letterbox Love, this is a UK meme, hosted by the lovely Lynsey at Narratively Speaking and inspired by The Story Siren's In My Mailbox. This post is a means by which to highlight the books we get in the post and beyond, and especially to bring attention to those books which may be sat on our shelves for a little while yet that we love all the same.

I've received some fabulous books recently and so it was definitely time to do a book haul to share them all!

I posted a video about books I got from the library, bought and was sent and so here's that for you. I'm not going to list all the library books here but I WILL highlight books that I've bought and received recently! I've included some of my Instagram shots of the covers just to mix it up a bit as well...

Books I've received from publishers...

From Simon and Schuster I received A Stitch of Time by Lauren Marks. This one is already released and sounds really interesting! They also sent me Hello Sunshine by Laura Dave. This comes out on July 11th so look out for my review of that one then!

From Mills and Boon I received another from the Mills and Boon Modern Girls Guide to Life: Growing Old Disgracefully. The last one of these was hilarious and so I'm sure this one will be too!

And from Penguin Random House I received The Friend by Dorothy Koomson. I can't wait to read this one. It was released in hardback and Kindle format on 1st June.

And then from Simon and Schuster UK I received the beautiful Chase The Rainbow by Poorna Bell. This book is absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to read this story. This was released on the 4th May.

They also sent me a proof copy of Anatomy of a Scandal by Sarah Vaughn, this comes out 11th January 2018!

Books I've bought...

I've been to a couple of fabulous author events recently (post coming on these soon!) and so I bought a few new books so that I could get them signed at these events.

The first event was with authors Coleen Oakes and Brianna Shrum. I got copies of Queen of Hearts...

And Never Never. Reviews coming for these very soon!

I was also lucky enough to attend an event at my local bookshop, Tattered Cover, with Graeme Simsion. He's one of my favourite authors and so I was excited to get my copy of The Best of Adam Sharp signed too!

The library books I checked out the library are all featured in the video and pretty much all of them are in my June TBR too so do give that a look to find out what I've been checking out of the library recently!

What books have you bought/received/checked out recently? I'd love to hear what you're all reading!

I've been lucky enough to receive some books from publishers this week and I also got some fab books from the library that I want to share with you. Click on the image to go to the buy page for each book. I've also already reviewed one of the books so definitely check out that post which I will link below! I also made a couple of videos about these books:

I received a copy of I Know What I'm Doing and Other Lies I Tell Myself by comedien Jen Kirkman from Simon and Schuster. This one comes out in paperback on Tuesday 25th so look out for my review of this one then!

Then from Simon and Schuster UK, Books and the City, I was lucky enough to received a signed paperback copy of The Woman at Number 24 by Juliet Ashton. 

Thanks so much to Simon and Schuster US and UK for these fab books!

Check out my review of this one here!

Then, just yesterdy, I received a copy of Miss You by Kate Eberlen from Pan Macmillan, thank you so much to them for this book, I've heard great things about it!

And here are all the fabulous books I checked out from my fabulous library!

I found out that this is called Lobsters in the UK and I actually already own it-ha!

Thanks again to the publishers for the wonderful books and look out for reviews of all the other books!
