Ice Planet Barbarians have been on my TBR for years and that's major thanks to @talesofsuzanne! I've seen this series pop up on her feed over the years.

Since my mood is going to decide most of my reads this year, this series is on deck for 2022 and I can't wait to dive in.

Big thank you to @berkleyromance for sending these my way 💜

/soooo, what's everyone reading right now?

I recently just started (waited too long to get this going) Daughter of the Moon Goddess by @suelynntan!

I'm a huge fan of just about anything mythology, so I can't wait to dive deeper into this one.

Thank you @bibliolifestyle @williammorrowbooks @harpervoyagerus for this beautiful copy ❤️

A captivating debut fantasy inspired by the legend of the Chinese moon goddess, Chang’e , in which a young woman’s quest to free her mother pits her against the most powerful immortal in the realm and sets her on a dangerous path—where choices come with deadly consequences, and she risks losing more than her heart.

Growing up on the moon, Xingyin is accustomed to solitude, unaware that she is being hidden from the powerful Celestial Emperor who exiled her mother for stealing his elixir of immortality. But when Xingyin’s magic flares and her existence is discovered, she is forced to flee her home, leaving her mother behind.

Alone, untrained, and afraid, she makes her way to the Celestial Kingdom, a land of wonder and secrets. Disguising her identity, she seizes an opportunity to learn alongside the Crown Prince, mastering archery and magic, even as passion flames between her and the emperor’s son.

To save her mother, Xingyin embarks on a perilous quest, confronting legendary creatures and vicious enemies across the earth and skies. When treachery looms and forbidden magic threatens the kingdom, however, she must challenge the ruthless Celestial Emperor for her dream—striking a dangerous bargain in which she is torn between losing all she loves or plunging the realm into chaos.

Daughter of the Moon Goddess begins an enchanting, romantic duology which weaves ancient Chinese mythology into a sweeping adventure of immortals and magic, of loss and sacrifice—where love vies with honor, dreams are fraught with betrayal, and hope emerges triumphant.

/what are your most anticipated books for 2022?

The Blood Lands is high on my list and there should be no surprise about that.

Blood Lands has a cover and I love it. The red book covers I’ve been seeing for upcoming releases have been 🔥

Book 5 is coming out on January 26th and there’s one more book to go! I’m so ready for Blood Lands, yet nervous at the same time. We shall see what happens.

📆 June 6, 2022

Livvy Savoie is a people person. Not only does she have the magical gift of persuasion, but her natural charisma charms everyone she meets. She hasn’t met a person she didn’t like. Until her annoyingly brilliant competitor walks through the door. No matter how hard she denies it, loathing isn’t the only emotion she feels for him.

Grim reaper Gareth Blackwater is rarely, if ever, moved beyond his broody, stoic state. But the witch he’s partnered with in the public relations contest is destroying his peace of mind. He’s convinced that the flesh-melting attraction he feels for her is merely her witchy magic at work.

But forced proximity proves there is more than magic sparking between them. Livvy learns this enigmatic grim’s abilities are beyond any supernatural she has ever known. And when Livvy becomes the obsessive target of a dangerous wizard, Gareth proves just how powerful he truly is. Because no one is going to hurt his Lavinia.

🥂 📚 Cheers to the new year 📚🥂 I wante

🥂 📚 Cheers to the new year 📚🥂

I wanted to get one more pic in before the year is up and most likely the end of the floating series. These were so fun to do, but I think I'm about ready to wrap this up. Maybe something new will pop up for me to try in 2022 🤷🏽‍♀️ we shall see. Thank you for all the love with my floating pics!

2021 reading was surely an interesting one. I took on less ARCs, got back to series that I needed to catch up on, farewells to the old and brought in the new. Also, lots of rereading of my favorites ❤️

I don't have any major plans for next year, but probably lots of the same of what I've currently been doing.

Whatever you're reaching for in the new year, I hope it's a happy and healthy one. And of course, all the 5 star reads.

Cheers, friends!
