“Em,” he said, taking my hand. “You will not have to ride Red Wind if you do not wish it. In fact, once I have retaken my throne, you will not have to do anything if you do not wish it. If you desire to sit in some corner of the castle hunched over your books and notepaper, bestirring yourself only to demand a tour of some brownie market or bottle den, then it will be done.”
I let out a trembling breath. “And what sort of queen would that make me?”
He looked perfectly earnest as he leaned in to kiss my cheek. “Mine.”

Insanely honored to have gotten an ARC for this. I love these two, and am so excited to see Wendell’s kingdom and everything that lays in store for them!
If you're familiar with the process, and want to read an early copy of Changeling then you can head on over to my googleform and sign up... GOOGLEFORM LINK
"But wait, Ari! I don't know what an ARC Reader is, or what they do!"
No problem! Let me explain...
Short Answer: ARC stands for 'Advanced Reader Copy' or 'Advanced Review Copy'. An ARC Reviewer offers to read a copy of the book before release, and write an honest review.
As for the long answer, the process to become an ARC Reviewer is fairly simple...
If you sign up to be an ARC reviewer (by completing the google form linked) I will send out a PDF or Epub copy of Changeling in the 3rd week of February. I'll also email out what's called a "Press Pack" which will include all the information about the book, the author (me!), and include some pre-made promotional images so you don't have to go hunting the information down should you choose to leave a review.
As an ARC reviewer, you have the opportunity to read the book before it's released to the public and offer your feedback, insight, and honest opinions of the book across platforms.
If you notice anything wrong with the book such as typos that slipped past me and my editor, or formatting errors, I'd appreciate an email about such things so I can fix them before the book goes live, but it's not required.
Also, as per Amazon's policies, I cannot require you to leave a review. This is NOT a free book in exchange for a review. That's not how it works.
I'm giving you my book for free and asking, if you are so inclined, that you share your experience with others. The good, the bad, and everything in between.
I will be sending out periodic email reminders to all accepted ARC readers about leaving a review however, just in case it slips your mind;
A week before release
The day before release
Release day - once the book is live on Amazon
The day after release
A final reminder one week after release.
If this interests you, head on over to the googleform to sign up!
I know it’s a long shot, but I’ll try! Does anyone have an arc of “Aristotle and Dante Dive Into the Waters of the World” that they’d like to trade for items on their wishlist. I’m so desperate for this copy, you have no idea. Ari & Dante is my favorite book in the world.
hi friends! I just finished reading The Abdication by Justin Newland, and I have some thoughts.
in The Abdication by Justin Newland, a young woman confronts her faith in a higher purpose, and what it means to abdicate that faith. this blog tour is organized by Lola's Blog Tours and the tour runs from 11 till 31 October. check out the schedule here: http://www.lolasblogtours.net/blog-tour-the-abdication-by-justin-newland
I haven’t been into fantasy or new history since I was in middle school, and being able to read and enjoy it again was just so nice. I love Justin Newland’s work with this book because it truly felt like I escaped reality for a moment, and that’s always something I look for in a good book. something about this writing felt akin to home for me, because I haven’t seen this style in a long time. the language was super detailed in the way that children’s books are, but it didn’t make me feel like a child, it just made me appreciate the world that Newland was building. overall, I would give it a 4.5/5, mainly because I just am not a huge fan of new history. however, this book might’ve made me change my mind.
I created this studyblr during my last year of high school to have somewhere I could keep info and tips about studying and going to university. It was also a moment in which I was obsessed with bullet journals, so I wanted to understand how to keep one and find inspiration.
Day 4 - How long have you had a studyblr?
I have just checked my first reblog on the archive and it was on the 30th of November 2014, so almost 6 years! dear god i’m so old
Day 5 - Have you ever done a challenge before?
Yes, I have! I've done the 100 days of productivity in 2016, during my first year of university as a way to stay motivated - I’m pretty sure that was the only one.
+ I’ve been doing some reading for my final dissertation on the history of feminism in Latin America and I’ve also started my arc of Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco and I am very intrigued so far!
I won a flash giveaway over on Instagram and my prize(s) came today! I was only expecting one randomly selected arc of a book and a book themed chapstick. But the awesome gal that I won this from included some extras! She sent me two really nice quality chapter samplers that I can’t wait to dig into! I actually can’t wait to read Beyond the Black Door, it looks really interesting!
then you’re eligible to get a free ARC of THE DEAD KIDS CLUB. To apply, all you’ve got to do is message me on tumblr or via email ([email protected]) and say you’re interested in reviewing an ARC.
Add in a link to wherever you post your reviews, or if you’ve never reviewed before, where you plan to post your reviews, and that’s it! I’ll send the ARC right to you.
If you know of any other reviewers who would enjoy an 80′s-esque YA suspense about a shady protagonist and her equally as shady group of friends, suggest THE DEAD KIDS CLUB to them, too!!
