The Chosen Ones.
It brings to immediate mind Harry Potter and then Hermione hitting him upside the head when he starts to get cocky.
Another double book month!! (Is this making me low-key cocky?) We got Twin Crowns by Catherine Doyle and Katherine Webber and it is SO good. I may not have started This Vicious Grace yet, but I read this one while on vacation and devoured it in a day. You can check out my full review on Goodreads.
In this month’s box, we received another trinket dish featuring Rin from the Poppy Wars, an Atlas Six book sleeve, Adelina art print, and Sting dagger paper tabs (Sting from Lord of the Rings).
I like the trinket dishes and think they’ll all look amazing. The tabs will definitely come in handy when I start planning out the book pages I need to read a night in order to read more consistently every day.
This month’s tarot cards feature Poppy and Hawke, and Keiran from the Blood and Ash trilogy. They represent The Lovers and The Chariot.
Twin Crowns is so pretty, I love the stencilling on the edges. But I’m kind of bummed that it’s a different cover. I LOVE the original art cover by Charlie Bowater. Hopefully, she does the sequel so I have that version as well!
June’s themed book is This Vicious Grace by Emily Thiede.
Three weddings. Three funerals. Alessa’s gift from the gods is supposed to magnify a partner’s magic, not kill every suitor she touches.
Now, with only weeks left until a hungry swarm of demons devours everything on her island home, Alessa is running out of time to find a partner and stop the invasion. When a powerful priest convinces the faithful that killing Alessa is the island’s only hope, her own soldiers try to assassinate her.
Desperate to survive, Alessa hires Dante, a cynical outcast marked as a killer, to become her personal bodyguard. But as rebellion explodes outside the gates, Dante’s dark secrets may be the biggest betrayal. He holds the key to her survival and her heart, but is he the one person who can help her master her gift or destroy her once and for all?
Emily Thiede’s exciting fantasy debut, This Vicious Grace, will keep readers turning the pages until the devastating conclusion and leave them primed for more!

I am loving this yellow colour!
Fairyloot is definitely adding a lot of yellow to my bookshelf this year.
I’m loving that they changed from doing art on the back of the dust cover to the end pages instead. I feel like one actually sees the art more this way!
I did start reading a couple of pages from this one (while I was cleaning) and it was pretty good from the beginning so I am looking forward to actually starting and finishing it.
I enjoy the theme and the blurb for the book definitely sounds interesting.
What are your thoughts on these two books?!
