The Legendary Playlist

It’s the Legendary playlist! Long before I ever sold a book I used to read other authors playlists and dream about what I would put on my own book playlist, so I’m really excited to finally share songs that inspired me as I wrote Legendary.   I’ve listed all the songs below, along with some extra comments about a few songs. As you’re reading this list, I also wanted to ask a huge favor. If you read Legendary and if you enjoyed it I would be so grateful if you would take a couple m...

It’s a Legendary Launch Party

Welcome, welcome! Legendary is out tomorrow and you have been invited to my Legendary Launch Party tomorrow night. There will be Legendary themed treats, prizes, games, and there might even be an appearance from Legend…

If you’re far away or unable to attend you can still join in on the fun! My sister will be taking over my Instagram tomorrow...

A Letter to my Legendary readers

Four days left to go! Today I wanted to share a letter I wrote. This was for a special edition of Legendary that didn’t end up happening, which I’m glad about because now I can share this letter with everyone!

Dearest readers:

When I wrote my first book, Caraval, I wanted it to feel like a Baz Luhrmann movie meets a Florence + the Machine song. I wanted it to be bright and colorful and wildly over the top.

For Legendary, I knew I wanted it to revolve around a search for Legend’s true identity...

The Taiwan edition of Caraval is now available.

Last week I shared the extraordinary cover for the Taiwan edition of Caraval on Instagram. It’s so beautiful I actually got it printed up as a poster. I also received lots of questions asking where people could order this edition, so I’m excited to share that it’s finally available for preorder here. To translate the page just click on the globe icon in the upper right hand corner.

I was told the price is 10USD (with out shipping), and it releases May 31st. The picture below shows both the re...

It’s a Legendary Pinterest Board

Hey friends,

Legendary is out in only 6 days!  But I know a lot of you have waited a lot longer than six days for this book, so to make this final stretch of waiting easier I’m sharing my Legendary Pinterest board.

I find a lot of inspiration from Pinterest, and for Legendary I was especially inspired by Alexander McQueen. His fashions were a huge inspiration for this book. I thought a lot about his quote, “I want to empower women. I want people to be afraid of the women I dress.” I thought a...

It’s a Legendary Map!

It’s only 8 days until Legendary releases, so I thought it would be fun to share a picture of the map inside. This is exactly how I pictured Valenda, the city where most of Legendary takes place. I might even love this map more than the map inside of Caraval. It’s so detailed and I hope it makes your reading experience all the more magical.

If you haven’t preordered Legendary yet there’s still time left, and if you turn in your receipt to my publisher you can claim a signed Legendary bookplat...

Would you like a Legendary Bookplate?

Hey friends!

As of yesterday all of the exclusive Legendary playing cards have been claimed. However, the good news is, my publisher had me sign extra Legendary bookplates. So if you preorder a hardcover of Legendary you can still receive a signed Legendary bookplate. All you have to do is follow this link and then follow the instructions.

Thank you all once again for preordering–it makes all the difference to authors!

Note: You will not receive an email confirmation, but if your order goes t...

The Barnes and Noble Exclusive Edition of Legendary is Here…

The countdown is on. Legendary releases in the US and the UK two weeks from today! I can’t believe it’s getting so close. I’m getting so excited–I really can’t wait for everyone to read Tella’s story. Yesterday these beautiful Barnes’s and Noble exclusive editions of Legendary showed up at my house and I might be a little obsessed with them.

Barnes and Noble let me annotate an extra chapter at the back of the book. It’s chapter 13, which is one of my favorites. Some of the annotations are spo...

Secret Covers Are Back

My fabulous UK publisher, Hodder and Stoughton, has worked their magic once again. Beneath the dust jackets of the Legendary UK hardcovers are four secret covers, and they are stunning. If you’re on Instagram, I just posted my unboxing of these books in my story--and you can watch if you’d like to see just how beautiful they are.

These hidden covers will only be on the first UK printing of Legendary. So if you want one I’d encourage you to preorder. Here are a few links: Waterstones has a sig...
