★ What are you currently reading or listening to? I am currently listening to the audiobook of King of Fools by Amanda Foody! I actually started it about a year ago, but set it aside for a few days, and forgot to pick it back up before my audiobook loan expired with the library (I thought I had longer 😅). That said, I’ve been meaning to finish the trilogy, and decided it was time to jump back into the world of New Reynes! My current ebook is Unconditional by QB Tyler, which I posted a bit about in my stories last night! It’s a lot taboo and a lot steamy, and I am loving it so far. How many books in this stack have you read? I’ve read all of them but five (aside from King of Fools)! I still need to read Queen of Volts, Soul of the Sword, Night of the Dragon, Crown of Feathers, and Legendborn! ★ CURRENTLY //   🎧 King of Fools by Amanda Foody 📖 Unconditional by QB Tyler 🎮 Immortals Fenyx Rising ★ CHALLENGES //   #tumblesoverbooks / sibling rivalries #allthebooksjune21 / tell me you’re a bookworm ★ HASHTAGS //    #theshadowgame #aceofshades #amandafoody #hollyblack #thecruelprince #danceofthieves #shadowofthefox #circleofshadows #crownoffeathers #legendborn #thelastvoyageofpoeblythe #fantasybooks #bookaesthetic #homelibrary #bookstack #bookbabe #readfantasy #bookstagram #bookworm #bookphotography #bibliophile #booklover #bookaddict #bookish #booksbooksbooks #beautifulbooks #bookdragon #bookhoarder https://www.instagram.com/p/CQKKQwoLStg/?utm_medium=tumblr

W E L C O M E !

Welcome to Ace of Shades!

 Most people in America do not fully invest themselves in injustices and conflicts that may not directly impact them. Acts of discrimination, hatred, and injustice against our friends, family, and peers are acts that I believe should no longer be tolerated. Racial and ethnic imbalances can be seen anywhere and anytime, one example is in the food community. More than often when it comes to fair advantages, Caucasians are more privileged and have unfair advantages over African Americans and Latinos. Ace of Shades is a platform to help uplift, support, and showcase all of the talented and amazing African American and Latino chefs. Ace of Shades will provide you with the stories of amazing chefs, restaurant owners, food vendors, and food bloggers. If you are still reading this, know that by continuing to read and inform yourself about racial inequalities in the food world that you will make a difference.

♦️♦️June Wrap Up (1/2)♦️♦️⁣ ⁣ Have you guys found your favourite read of June yet? ⁣ ⁣ I'm a tiny bit early but I just realized I might have went overboard with the number of books I read this month. 🙈⁣ ⁣ So here's a quick wrap up of the first twelve books! ⁣ ⁣ 🔹The Winners Trilogy-- The series is so underrated. It's got politics, betrayal, forbidden romance and so much angst! The writing is beautiful and it's slow burn in the beginning. 10/10 would recommend. 😍⁣ ⁣ 🔹Even The Darkest Stars duology-- Hello there, book that left me a sobbing mess. This series was the biggest surprise I had this year! It's chronically underrated and thinking of the ending of the first book still gives me palpitations.😭 Y'all should give it a shot. ⁣ Ayesha at Last-- A P&P retelling with a Muslim twist. I'm afraid that while I loved the first half, the overabundance of plot lines and presence of several stereotypical characters ruined the book for me. ⁣ ⁣ 🔹Song of the Current duology-- Confession, I'm still in the middle of the second book but it's an okay read. I picked it up for the enemies to lovers trope and badass pirates but something just feels lacking. 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣ ⁣ 🔹Ace of Shades-- I saw Six of Crows on the back and I had to try it! 😂⁣ Basically, a fun read but predictable. A bit confusing but still fresh! I'd give it 3/5 maybe? ⁣ ⁣ 🔹Stormdancer-- The first of The Lotus War trilogy and I buddy read it with @books.bags.burgers ! The first half is slow but once it gets going you're golden. 😍⁣ ⁣ 🔹THUG-- Beautiful and relevant. A contemporarie I'd always recommend.⁣ ⁣ 🔹 Book Love-- Adorable and so so relatable! I'm half convinced the author must have been spying on me. 😂⁣ ⁣ And that's it! Now I have to get back to real life. Dammit. 😅⁣ ⁣ Farha out! *tries to dab gracefully. But fails. Epically.*⁣ 😂 ⁣ #thewinnerstrilogy #thewinnerscurse #eventhedarkeststars #thewinnerscrime #allthewanderinglight #thewinnerskiss #bookwormlife #thehateyougive #songofthecurrent #ayeshaatlast #aceofshades #booklove #unitedbookstagram #stormdancer #thelotuswartrilogy #bookstagramindia #bookphotography #booksbooksbooks #booksinbed https://www.instagram.com/p/BzDa_geAMk7/?igshid=d18pg52fzb40

After a brief absence, I’m back with another papercraft! This time featuring the main duo from #aceofshades by @amandafoody​! This was such a great read/listen and I was enthralled with the story, characters and atmosphere of the city. This piece is chock full of symbolism from the book - especially around the Shadow Game cards. I had such a fun time putting it together, with lots of juicy details! Got this out of my system, but I can’t wait for the next installment next year!

|| Review: Ace of Shades ||⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ + 1/2 All I can say in regards to this book is wow. My expectations were pretty much through the roof but it still left me reeling. Ace of Shades is one of those books where I thought I knew what to expect, but the story was actually so different, and so much fun. Enne and Levi are some of my new favorite characters of all time, Enne grows so much and becomes quite a fierce player in the City of Sin. Levi is hilarious and sweet and his struggles just made my heart ache for him. Their slow burn romance certainly kept me strung along and I’m *still* a little mad that I didn’t get to see a certain thing happen! 😂 Amanda Foody is an incredibly skilled world builder as well, New Reynes has the perfect atmosphere and every detail melded together to create a mysterious, thrilling setting. The magic system is really unique, and I love how there’s still so many layers left to explore. I could never guess any of the plot twists if I tried, and the explosive ending had me flipping pages at rapid speed. This book had all the gambling, gang drama, card-playing, and thieving that this Six of Crows-obsessed girl could hope for! If you want to read some more of my in-depth thoughts on this book, check out my full review on the blog! Link in my bio ❤️ Thanks to @harlequinteen for sending me an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

★ Happy #StackSaturday, friends! What are some series you still need to finish? I still need to finish The Shadow Game and Shadow of the Fox trilogies. I just have the last book left in both! I’ve really enjoyed the other books in the trilogies, so maybe I should finish them before 2021 ends! ★ HASHTAGS // #bookstack #aceofshades #shadowofthefox #inkyardpress #legendborn #yabooks #danceofthieves #fantasybooks #bookbabe #readfantasy #bookstagram #bookworm #bookphotography #bibliophile #booklover #bookaddict #bookobsessed #readersofinstagram #bookish #booksbooksbooks #beautifulbooks #booktag #prettybooks #bookdragon https://www.instagram.com/p/CXXRmNUpUzp/?utm_medium=tumblr
