In other news, last week I finished two books! And one of them I basically read in ONE day and omg, it’s been a long time since I last read a book in such a short period of time! Said book was Contagion by Erin Bowman and gosh, such a great and CREEPY book. I don’t read horror novels since I’m such a scaredy cat but since @GoScribbler sent me a copy, I decided to finally break into my copy and I HAVE REGRETS because I now cannot sleep. Truth be told, I loved the book! Can’t wait for the sequel!!! ♥

Bought three awesome books that I’m super thrilled to have in my bookshelf. Switched by Amanda Hocking, An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson, and Ace of Shades by Amanda Foody! I have only read (and loved) An Enchantment of Ravens, but I cannot wait to dive into the other two, they look and sound fantastic! ♥

But the empire is in distress and its people are sinking into poverty and despair. Even though Jade doesn't want the crown, she knows she is the only one who can dethrone the empress and set the world right. Ready to reclaim her place as rightful heir, Jade embarks on a quest to raise the Dragon Lords and defeat Xifeng and the Serpent God once and for all. But will the same darkness that took Xifeng take Jade, too? Or will she find the strength within to save herself, her friends, and her empire?
Set in an East Asian-inspired fantasy world filled with breathtaking pain and beauty, Kingdom of the Blazing Phoenix is filled with dazzling magic, powerful prose, and characters readers won't soon forget.
