My NetGalley Shelf
Hello awesome people and happy Monday!
It’s one of those days that I truly want to embrace the day, since tomorrow it’s Christmas and for some reason I feel like this year’s holiday season is going to be extra special. Not only because I’ll have more spare time to spend with my loved ones, but also because I am very optimistic about 2019, if that’s even possible.
My book will be published in two months, I’m halfway through drafting the sequel, some really amazing books are coming out AND some great books had been sent to me a few months ago, and I believe the time has come for me to share them with you.
So, without further ado, let’s get to my NetGalley Shelf tour!

1. A PIXIE’S PROMISE, BY DIANNA SANCHEZ
[image error]
“Petunia’s tired of being overlooked just because she’s six inches tall. But when the Enchanted Forest is threatened, can she measure up to the task?
She gets lost at home among her bazillion brothers, sisters, and cousins. Even her own parents don’t remember her name! And no one ever takes a pixie seriously.
When Petunia’s best friend, Millie, offers a vacation at her house, Petunia jumps at the chance. Cooking for Millie’s witch of a mother and babysitting a tree should be easy, right? But when an epidemic of spickle pox hits the Enchanted Forest, and Millie’s mother comes down with a mysterious illness, Petunia must pitch in to brew cures as quickly as she can, even if that means using up all her pixie dust.
And when the cure doesn’t work as well as it should, it’s up to Petunia to figure out how to change the formula to save the Enchanted Forest, while living up to all the promises she’s made.”
Though I thought this was going to be a standalone novel, I discovered, quite late I have to admit, that this was indeed a sequel. So, if you guys want to catch up with this series, first you need to read A Witch’s Kitchen.
But because I’ve decided to only read books that I feel really passionate about from now on, I believe I’m going to pass.
2. THE DARKEST STAR, BY JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT

“When seventeen-year-old Evie Dasher is caught up in a raid at a notorious club known as one of the few places where humans and the surviving Luxen can mingle freely, she meets Luc, an unnaturally beautiful guy she initially assumes is a Luxen…but he is in fact something much more powerful. Her growing attraction for Luc will lead her deeper and deeper into a world she’d only heard about, a world where everything she thought she knew will be turned on its head…
#1 New York Times, USA Today, and internationally bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout returns to the universe of the Lux in this brand new series, featuring beloved characters both new and old.”
You guys know that I’m not a huge fan of sci-fi and this look like a sci-fi novel, but because I absolutely loved Mirage, by Somaiya Daud, I decided to give this one a go.
3. A CURSE SO DARK AND LONELY, BY BRIGID KEMMERER

“In a lush, contemporary fantasy retelling of Beauty and the Beast, Brigid Kemmerer gives readers another compulsively readable romance perfect for fans of Marissa Meyer.
Fall in love, break the curse.
It once seemed so easy to Prince Rhen, the heir to Emberfall. Cursed by a powerful enchantress to repeat the autumn of his eighteenth year over and over, he knew he could be saved if a girl fell for him. But that was before he learned that at the end of each autumn, he would turn into a vicious beast hell-bent on destruction. That was before he destroyed his castle, his family, and every last shred of hope.
Nothing has ever been easy for Harper Lacy. With her father long gone, her mother dying, and her brother barely holding their family together while constantly underestimating her because of her cerebral palsy, she learned to be tough enough to survive. But when she tries to save someone else on the streets of Washington, DC, she’s instead somehow sucked into Rhen’s cursed world.
Break the curse, save the kingdom.
A prince? A monster? A curse? Harper doesn’t know where she is or what to believe. But as she spends time with Rhen in this enchanted land, she begins to understand what’s at stake. And as Rhen realizes Harper is not just another girl to charm, his hope comes flooding back. But powerful forces are standing against Emberfall . . . and it will take more than a broken curse to save Harper, Rhen, and his people from utter ruin.”
Give me every Beauty and the Beast retelling there is and I’ll be eternally grateful! I’ve already started reading this book and, let me tell you, it is AMAZING! And it’s a good thing it’s coming out on January 29th, 2019!
4. PERFECT HARMONY, BY EMILY ALBRIGHT

“Pippa Wyndham is a top cellist―she’d never settle for anything less. Determined to get into the nation’s most prestigious music college, nothing’s going to stand in her way . . . Until her senior year of high school when a new guy from a fancy New York conservatory transfers to her school.
Declan Brogan’s cocky, and he knows how amazing he is at the cello. He has every intention of knocking Pippa out of first chair and showing her who really belongs on top. Forced together when assigned a duet, their personal competition and mutual dislike transform into a teasing friendship.
Torn between her childhood crush and the boy who threatens her dreams, Pippa finds herself at risk of losing her best friend, her future, and the boy who makes her heart melt. Struggling to make things right, Pippa discovers that sometimes the thing you want the most doesn’t always end up being the thing you need.”
Not something I read every day but it seems refreshing and cute and I think I’ll start reading this one as well, today!
5. IN PARIS WITH YOU, BY CLÉMENTINE BEAUVAIS
[image error]
“A runaway bestseller in France, Clémentine Beauvais’s In Paris With You is a love story you won’t soon forget.
Eugene and Tatiana had fallen in love that summer ten years ago. But certain events stopped them from getting to truly know each other and they separated never knowing what could have been.
But one busy morning on the Paris metro, Eugene and Tatiana meet again, no longer the same teenagers they once were.
What happened during that summer? Does meeting again now change everything? With their lives ahead of them, can Eugene and Tatiana find a way to be together after everything?
Written in gorgeous verse, In Paris With You celebrates the importance of first love. Funny and sometimes bittersweet this book has universal appeal for anyone who has been in love.”
Again not something I’d read every day, but books written in verse have stared growing on me.
I’m not going to request any more ARCs for the time being, mostly because my TBR is already crazy enough as it is and I do want to read all of these books before requesting any more.
How many books do you guys need to read before requesting more from NetGalley? Are there any books mentioned here that you’re dying to read?
Let me know all your thoughts and feelings regarding that in the comment section down below.
Thank you all for stepping by once again, have a lovely Christmas Eve and…
Till next time… Toodles!
