I love Shadow and Bone beyond words and I was wondering who do I contact about ARCs for Seige and Storm? Also will you have any contests where you give out ARCs?
So glad you enjoyed Shadow and Bone!
You can request ARCs of Siege and Storm through my web site using the Review Requests email. It goes straight to the lovely people at Mac Kids.
And YES! I will most definitely be doing some contests and giveaways as we get closer to the release date.

I’m reblogging this because sometimes Gollum’s little face just breaks my heart. Like this made me cry. I maybe need to lay off the feels.

Spent all of my holiday break eating empanadas instead of reading. So happy to return to this stack of books! Especially excited to read Shadow and Bone based on PLL Trendsetters’ recommendations!

VERY worth a read. (And the comments are staying pretty thoughtful right now, too.) Many thanks to Morgan Fahey for the link.

When people talk smack about fantasy, I hope they’ll think of this. For all the sexposition and gratuitous boobage in Game of Thrones/ASoIaF, look at the extraordinary range of women front and center in the narrative. We don’t “like” all of them. They aren’t exemplars or symbols. They’re great characters behaving in ways that don’t always make us comfortable.
