We’re going back in time for this month’s #SleeperHitReads spotlight. Partly because this lovely, haunting #coverart is perfect for #Halloween. But even more because although #TheAlchemyofStone hit shelves back in 2008 and I read it around 2011, the gloomy yet enchanting story on these pages has stayed with me for a decade. I’m craving a reread just from seeing that blurb: “A gorgeous meditation on what it means to not be human.” If you love dark literary fantasies with in-depth characterization and societal and moral explorations, give this one a shot. Personally, I can’t wait to dive back into #EkaterinaSedia’s beautiful and broken world once more! 💀 🎃 If there are reads you’ve loved that fly—or flew—under the radar, feel free to share them in the comments or post them on your IG with the hashtag #sleeperhitreads so myself and others can find these original, overlooked titles and support hard-working authors. 🤖 🍂 FYI: There's also a #hiddengembooks hashtag that's been around #bookstagram for a few years, so be sure to check that one out for more underrated titles! ••• #writerslife #amreading #booknerd #bookphoto #booktography #bibliophilelife #prettybooks #booklover #payitforward #individualitymatters #readingoutsidethebox #beautifulbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CVireK2rZCn/?utm_medium=tumblr
