This week's round-up of beautiful book mail!
I'm excited to begin sharing a roundup of the book mail I've received recently. I can't wait to delve into these books and share my thoughts through reviews!
As always, thank you to all the authors and publishers for sending these out to me! 🫶🏻
The Prince Without Sorrow by Maithree Wijesekara:
A richly imagined fantasy debut full of witches, war, and betrayal
Inspired by the Mauryan Empire, The Prince Without Sorrow launches the Obsidian Throne trilogy with a gripping tale of rebellion, revenge, and reluctant rulers.
Prince Ashoka, the peace-seeking son of a brutal emperor, crosses paths with Shakti, a witch bound by pacifism but fuelled by vengeance. As political chaos unfolds and curses take root, the line between justice and destruction blurs.
This is a vivid, emotional fantasy with razor-sharp tension, layered characters, and stunning world-building. A must-read for fans of epic power struggles, forbidden magic, and slow-burn enemies-to-allies dynamics.
Thank you to the team at Harper Voyager for sending me a finished copy of the book, the book is out now and available to purchase.

The Dicktionary Club by Sophie Gravia:
Dating in Glasgow has never been messier… or more fun to read about.
In The Dicktionary Club, Sophie Gravia delivers a hilarious, sharp, and empowering story of three best friends who’ve had enough of ghosters, gaslighters, and serial swipers.
Their solution?
A secret website exposing the worst men in Scotland with brutally honest reviews.
But as the site goes viral, so does the drama in their own lives.
This book is laugh-out-loud funny, packed with girl gang energy, spicy romance, and real emotional depth. Think Sex and the City meets Catfish but with more heart and a lot more screenshots.
Chaotic, clever, and completely addictive. I’d join the club in a heartbeat.
Thank you so much to Enisha at Bonnier Books for sending me a PR box full of goodies and the book! The book is out now and available to purchase.

The Tarot Reader of Versailles by Anya Bergman:
The Tarot Reader of Versailles by Anya Bergman swept me away with its tarot magic, rebellion, and powerful women at the heart of history.
Set during the French Revolution, this gripping story follows Marie Anne Lenormand, who can see the future, and Cait, who sees the past. When love, politics, and power collide, no one’s fate is safe.
