#fantasy #romance

The header at the top of the image reads: Out Now.
In the center of the image (which has a background of lush crimson rose blossoms) is the front cover of Stephanie Burgis’s A Marriage of Undead Inconvenience, which shows an ominously closed entrance-gate at the top of the cover and a bat with its wings outspread at the bottom, all framed by climbing roses. Four arrows point at the cover with four chunks of text, reading: “Beauty and the Beast, but he’s a vampire” “She’s brilliant, and he loves it” “Tea is very important” and “She *really* loves libraries.” At the bottom is a link to the preorder page: books2read.com/UndeadInconvenience

In the centre of the square image is the cover of Stephanie Burgis’s Wooing the Witch Queen, which shows a sinister witch queen in a spectacular beaded dress embracing her handsome and adoring new librarian (in a black wizard's robe) inside a library of magic filled with crows and masks and flying books. Around it are these bits of descriptive text: Fierce, bi witch queen; sweet, nerdy hero with a secret identity; found family; mischievous crows; magical library; flirting with fountain pens. At the bottom right corner of the image is a picture of a glittering black masquerade mask.

Early Morning Rendezvous is a watercolor painting in landscape format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. Two sweet little birds sit opposite each other in a bush and look at each other. The dense branches of the bush form a heart shape around the two birds. The rest of the bush can only be seen blurred in the light blue morning mist. The two birds are depicted as silhouettes in front of the rising sun in a delicate pink heart shape and surrounded by green heart-shaped leaves.
This watercolour painting is the ideal gift for lovers - for Valentine's Day, a birthday, a wedding anniversary or just to say "I love you".

It's time for a new pinned thread now that Wooing the Witch Queen is out in the US and the UK!

https://stephanieburgis.com/books/wooing-the-witch-queen

#romance #fantasy

An image of the North American front cover of Wooing the Witch Queen shows a sinister witch queen in a spectacular beaded dress embracing her handsome and adoring new librarian (in a black wizard's robe) inside a library of magic filled with crows and masks and flying books. The tagline reads: Love can be a witch. A blurb from Sarah Beth Durst (New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop) reads: “Full of charm, wit, and magic… I loved it!”
Around the image, against a starry night background, are various pieces of text connected to it by arrows. They read: “bi villainous heroine,” “sweet cinnamon-roll hero with a fake identity,” “crow friends,” “found family,” and “flirting with fountains pens.” At the bottom of the image are the words: Out now!

ALT

In the centre of this image is the beautiful British cover of Wooing the Witch Queen, by Stephanie Burgis. The illustration shows a man in a cloak riding headlong through the night towards an ominous castle with an illuminated, crowned female figure in its doorway and bats flying overhead in the moonlight. A potion vial surrounds that central image and is further framed by leaves and branches. Crows sit on the branches, and a tagline reads: Love can be a witch. A blurb from Sangu Mandanna reads: ‘Warm and lovely’
On the lefthand side of the image around the cover is a stalk of herbs, surrounded by magical stars; on the righthand side is a fountain pen. The text above and below the cover reads: ‘He had to remember that she was infinitely more likely to kill him than to kiss him…’
Out Now in the UK!

It was a summer night, warm though the sun had gone down. The lights of the city sparkled, the river in front of them caught the reflection.

They were in the perfect place, at the perfect time, with just the right person. Was there any way, they wondered, to stop time and make this moment last forever?

“Annie S. Swan both requires revaluation through her own biography & calls into question easy valorisations of ‘danger’ as expressed in terms of explicit challenge & radicalism. The extent of her appeal & influence demands a more nuanced analysis of the politics of emotion & the gendering of reader response”

—Prof Glenda Norquay on Annie S. Swan (1859–1943) – born #OTD, 8 July

finished reading The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
by Sangu Mandanna.

A lonely witch finds family & love when she is sought out to tutor three young witchy girls. A cosy romantic fantasy. Some enlivening characters and fun use of magic. Very 'House by the Cerulean Sea'.

I've been thinking today about one of my favourite audiobooks: The Trouble with Angels, which I narrated as Eden Cavell, about a naive divorcee who makes a fresh start when two hot Daddy Doms take her under their wing.

It's a good book for people who are interested in my work who don't like romance! It's big-hearted and genuinely funny.

https://geni.us/TTWA

#Romance #Audiobook #Audiodrama #Audiofiction @romancelandia @bookstodon @audiobooks

A Kindle plays the audiobook of The Trouble with Angels by Maggie Adams, narrated by Eden Cavell. The title and attributions run across the top of the cover; a shining halo hangs at a jaunty angle from the "E" of "Trouble". The cover is illustrated with silhouettes of two fit male angles in sharp suits, standing in a field of wildflowers against a radiant sky. They look like just the kind of angels who would be good trouble. A yellow banner across the bottom right corner says: "Now in audio".

finished reading Spring Snow 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑
by Yukio Mishima.

A doomed romance in early 20th century Japan. Interminably slow, with frequent tangential digressions into philosophy and description. Nearly gave up but something finally happened 100 pages in. The climax verges on the tragi-comic, but it's mostly just brooding & hopeless. I was intrigued by the nobleman who is so elegant that problems solve themselves, hence effortlessly maintaining said elegance.

Sunshine Heart is an acrylic painting in portrait format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. A heart in bright shades of yellow, orange and red shines brightly like the sun on an abstract textured background in shades of red and orange. Below the heart runs a row of small heart shapes in the same warm hues. The warm colours exude love, positive energy and happiness.
