I'm reading The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri and I'm OBSESSED so here's a little sketch of the Hirana.

mattymurdox’s 2021 reading list: ‘The Jasmine Throne’ by Tasha Shuri

“Her own words left her. Her own words broke. This was what she had needed. Not forgiveness, not a balm for this strange writhing fury inside her, but the promise of someone to care for–to love–that she could not harm. Even if she had to. Even if she tried.”

favourite books: the jasmine throne by tasha suri

imprisoned by her dictator brother, malini spends her days in isolation in the hirana: an ancient temple that was once the source of the powerful, magical deathless waters — but is now little more than a decaying ruin. priya is a maidservant, one among several who make the treacherous journey to the top of the hirana every night to clean malini’s chambers. she is happy to be an anonymous drudge, so long as it keeps anyone from guessing the dangerous secret she hides. but when malini accidentally bears witness to priya’s true nature, their destinies become irrevocably tangled. one is a vengeful princess seeking to depose her brother from his throne. the other is a priestess seeking to find her family. together, they will change the fate of an empire.

Penguins new ad campaign celebrates well-read books

This new ad campaign from Penguin appeals to those of us who think beat-up, torn, taped, scribbled-upon books are more appealing than pristine ones. I wondered if the books photographed here were found as is, or lovingly distressed by the art director, then I saw the small print in the lower right of each ad, which suggests they were found that way.

books read in 2020: the priory of the orange tree by @sshannonauthor (★★★★☆)

what is below must be balanced by what is above, and in this is the precision of the universe. fire ascends from the earth, light descends from the sky. too much of one doth inflame the other, and in this is the extinction of the universe.
