Lena Sonntag | 32 comments Title: „Godly Heathens“
* Author(s) name(s): H.E. Edgmon
* ISBN (or ASIN): 9781837840212
* Publisher: Daphne Press / Illumicrate
* Publication Date Year: 2023
* Page count: 332
* Format: hardcover
* Description: Infatuation. Reincarnation. Damnation. Gem Echols is a nonbinary Seminole teen living in the tiny town of Gracie, Georgia. Known for being their peers' queer awakening, Gem leans hard on charm to disguise the anxious mess they are beneath. The only person privy to their authentic self is another trans kid, Enzo, who's a thousand long, painful miles away in Brooklyn. But even Enzo doesn't know about Gem's dreams, haunting visions of magic and violence that have always felt too real. So how the hell does Willa Mae Hardy? The strange new girl in town acts like she and Gem are old companions, and seems to know things about them they've never told anyone else. When Gem is attacked by a stranger claiming to be the Goddess of Death, Willa Mae saves their life and finally offers some answers. She and Gem are reincarnated gods who've known and loved each other across lifetimes. But Gem
- or at least who Gem used to be - hasn't always been the most benevolent deity. They've made a lot of enemies in the pantheon-enemies who, like the Goddess of Death, will keep coming. It's a good thing they've still got Enzo. But as worlds collide and the past catches up with the present, Gem will discover that everyone has something to hide.

Lena Sonntag | 32 comments Title: „Merciless Saviors“
* Author(s) name(s): H.E. Edgmon
* ISBN (or ASIN): 9781837840243
* Publisher: Daphne Press / Illumicrate
* Publication Date Year: 2023
* Page count: 289
* Format: hardcover
* Description: That day at the First Church of Gracie changed everything for Gem Echols, and not just because Marian and Poppy betrayed them. Forced to use the Ouroboros knife on Zephyr, who had kidnapped their parents, Gem now has the power of the God of Air.
While for any other god things might work out okay, the Magician-whose role within the pantheon is to keep the balance-having the power of another god has thrown everything into chaos. The Goddess of Death can now reanimate corpses; the God of Art's powers are now corrupted and twisted, giving life to his macabre creations; and, while the God of Land has always been able to communicate with creatures of the Earth, now everyone can hear their cries. As Gem, Rory, and Enzo search for a way to restore the balance without sacrificing themselves, new horrors make them question how far they're willing to go. In the end, Gem may be forced to fully embrace their merciless nature and kill off their own humanity-if it ever really existed in the first place.

Lena Sonntag | 32 comments so sorry for not providing the necessary info immediately, I simply didn‘t see the pinned posts


Lena Sonntag | 32 comments I unfortunately cannot find a non-bookseller link for these books. If necessary, I can upload pictures of the covers tomorrow

Scott | 10467 comments Illumicrate is the publisher, no?

Yes

Cristina Leitón (missleiton) | 6487 comments Illumicrate is a subscription box and it requires registration.
Books or editions that can only be purchased through a subscription cannot be added to Goodreads. Can you share a link to the actual website to verify the book can be purchased without the subscription?

Lena Sonntag | 32 comments Illumicrate and FairyLoot Editions are added to goodreads all the time, which is why I requested it. These editions can be bought without a subscription here: https://illumicrate.com/products/ouro...

Cristina Leitón (missleiton) | 6487 comments Illumicrate asks for registration before doing the check out, so it makes you create an account before buying the book

Stories or books (both ebook and print editions) only available via subscription to a newsletter, or via a website that requires registration. Two exceptions exist:
Editions being sold to the general public by these subscription services may be added to the database (e.g., leftover inventory made available on a public online store and not requiring any subscription).


I'm not sure, so I'm not adding it, but maybe another librarian thinks this can be added.

Eline | 9026 comments Hi, we appreciate your patience as we work through the tremendous backlog. The website you provided doesn't show the ISBN. We need a webpage showing the ISBN/ASIN and other book data to validate the info and if available we need it for the cover image. It should be non-bookseller site (Amazon & AbeBooks excepted), so from the publisher, library or another acceptable site: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/..., if you have the book, we can use a scan/photo of your copy for the cover and the page with the publication information (you can upload a scan/photo of your own to the "more photos..." section of your profile (https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new) in the browser, not the app), then copy the link here and a librarian can add it. Make sure you state the source of the photo in the text and that your account settings are public (not private).

Eline | 9026 comments Archiving due to non-response. You are welcome to add a new request if you'd still like this book to be added. In that case follow the guidelines as per GR template ‘How to request a book to be added to Goodreads’ (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...).
Don't reply to this post as once it's archived it's unlikely to be read by a librarian.
