YA Lit: The Grisha Trilogy: Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
"The first time I’d entered the Fold, I’d feared the darkness and my own death. Now, darkness was nothing to me, and I knew that soon death would seem like a gift. I’d always known I would have to return to the Unsea, but as I looked back, I realized that some part of me had anticipated it."
So dreamy.

best goddamn cover I’ve heard so far
Fuck goddamn I love this so much I just want to have been the person who came up with the idea I LOVE IT JESUS FUCK COVERS OF MUSIC THAT GO IN OTHER DIRECTIONS ARE THE WHOLE REASON TO GET UP IN THE MORNING
PLEASE WATCH THIS
This is so far up my alley that it found the muggers lurking there and beat them up and left them webbed to the wall for the cops to pick up later with a note signed “Your friendly neighborhood Jazz Cover”
…
That metaphor got away from me a little.
Just listen. Also…hotchacha.
Teeny tiny excerpt from The Dregs (as promised)
Yesterday, I announced that I’m going on my first solo tour. I’ll be reading an excerpt from my new book, The Dregs (Fall 2015 yup yup) at every stop, but I feel bad that I can’t see all yo faces in all the places so I thought I’d share a short (very short) teaser here.
This is a quick exchange between Kaz and Inej. I’ve talked a bit about Kaz before—gangleader, thief, thug. As for Inej, I’m really looking forward to introducing you to her. She’s a Suli acrobat known as the Wraith and the closest thing Kaz has to a confidante—though they don’t often see eye to eye. She also likes to name her knives.
"Greed is your god, Kaz."
He almost laughed at that. “No, Inej. Greed bows to me. It is my servant and my lever.”
"And what god do you serve, then?"
"Whichever will grant me good fortune."
"I don’t think gods work that way."
This time he did laugh. “I don’t think I care.”
I warned you it would be short!
Come out and visit me on tour to hear more!
xo
Oh and for those of you who have asked what Kaz looks like… When it comes to Shadow and Bone I have to be all careful because of the movie deal, but when it comes to The Dregs… I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT. So, I’m going to share this pic of Joseph Gordon-Levitt from my super secret Dregs inspiration board. *tips hat*

I would have liked to add more detail to this because I really like the basic design, but I’d already spent ages on it and didn’t want to turn it into a full picture. Might have to draw Tamar again some day :)

This time, the Darkling had chosen to set me apart, and there was nothing I could do about it.
