Do you read a book as soon as you get it or does it usually stay on your TBR for a while? Sometimes I read books right away and sometimes they stay on my TBR for a bit. I’m a mood reader but that doesn’t make me any less excited to eventually get the time to read them. . This week was an amazing week for releases! Check out all of the books that have a #BookBirthday today!

🧟♀️🪄🧝🏾♀️ #kingofdeadthings 🧙🏾♀️🪄🧟 @nevinholness ‘s debut novel comes out in the USA tomorrow 4/16!!!! From @simonteen : For fans of Legendborn, Neil Gaiman, and Leigh Bardugo, this urban young adult fantasy steeped in Afro-Carribbean folklore follows two Black teens searching for a powerful artifact in the hidden magical side of London. Raising the dead is easy. Living is harder. Eli doesn’t know who he is or who he came from. Three years ago, he was found by his now-best friends, Sunny and Max, who gave him a home in a magical sanctuary doubling as a Caribbean restaurant. What Eli does know is that he can heal a wound with just a touch and pluck magic from a soul like a petal from a flower—and there is nothing he wouldn’t do to survive and keep his new family together. Malcolm would do anything to forget where he comes from. Desperate to escape his estranged father’s shadow and plagued with an inherited death magic he doesn’t fully understand, Malcolm has just one priority: save his mother, no matter the cost. Malcolm and Eli’s paths collide when Eli and his friends are sent to track down the fang of the leopard god Osebo, a deadly weapon that can eat magic. In a job filled with enigmatic nine nights and Caribbean legends, the teens must face their own demons as they race through the magical underbelly of London to retrieve the fang…before an ancient and malevolent power comes back to life. #simonteen #nevinholness #jesicareviewsya #debutfiction #debutnovel #debutya #afrocaribbean #afrocarribeanbookclub #afrocarribeanauthor #afrocarribeanwriters #youngadultbooks #ireadya #yabooks #teenreads #teenreadstuesday #newreleasebooks @ssedlib
Currently Reading Monday What do you have planned for this week? I’ve got 3 books going on right now, 2 ARCs, and 1 really behind book exchange book (sorry @hannahrosereading) I just started all three last night or very early this morning before work, after participating in a readathon this weekend where I finished 5 books - 2 audio, 1 ebook, 1 manga, and 1 new physical book. Books shown: King Of Dead Things by Nevin Holness Lessons In Timing by Sylvia Barry The Simple Wild by KA Tucker I’m enjoying what I’ve read of each so far, so hopefully none of these are duds for me. #currentlyreading #currentlyreadingmonday #kingofdeadthings #lessonsintiming #thesimplewild

⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️ If you like the "found family" trope, you will love this book - the love binding these kids who have found each other is all encompassing and heartwarming. Eli has no memory of where he came from, but his friends Sunny and Max are always there for him. Their mission in this Afro Caribbean-inspired YA fantasy is to track down the fant of Osebo, and along the way they meet Malcolm, whose powerful father uses him for his magic. The goal, to save the world from the Daughter of Death, means all the kids need to summon every resource they have, and their friendship, in order to prevent this catastrophe. This is a quick read, and there are enough unresolved bits that I am hoping for the next book to keep reading about this group. #kingofdeadthings #foundfamily #nevinholness #urbanfantasy #yafantasy #bipocauthor #afrocaribbean #fantasyreadersofinstagram #ireadfantasy
¡PORTADA! #novedadesyoungkiwi ¡Se ha hecho de rogar pero ya la tenemos! Aquí tenéis la portada de «EL REY DE LO MUERTO» de Nevin Holness (@nevinholness) , una novela para fans de Legendborn, Neil Gaiman y Leigh Bardugo, un Urban fantasy impregnado de folclore afrocaribeño en el lado más mágico y oculto de Londres. Gracias a @awildes_ por la ilustración. Os dejamos la sinopsis. Revivir a los muertos es fácil. Vivir es lo difícil. Eli no sabe quién es ni de dónde viene. Hace tres años, fue encontrado por sus ahora mejores amigos, Sunny y Max, que le dieron un hogar en un santuario mágico que hace las veces de restaurante caribeño. Lo que Eli sí sabe es que puede curar una herida con un simple toque y arrancar la magia de un alma como el pétalo de una flor, y no hay nada que no haría para sobrevivir y mantener unida a su nueva familia. Malcolm haría cualquier cosa por olvidar de dónde viene. Desesperado por escapar de la sombra de su distanciado padre y plagado de una magia de la muerte heredada que no comprende del todo, Malcolm solo tiene una misión: salvar a su madre, cueste lo que cueste. Los caminos de Malcolm y Eli chocan cuando Eli y sus amigos son enviados a rastrear el colmillo del dios leopardo Osebo, un arma mortal que puede devorar la magia. En un trabajo lleno de enigmáticas nueve noches y leyendas caribeñas, los adolescentes deben enfrentarse a sus propios demonios mientras corren por los bajos fondos mágicos de Londres para recuperar el colmillo… antes de que un antiguo y malévolo poder vuelva a la vida.

Happy Monday!!! 💀 These books will make you feel alive again - #Bookstagram #SimonTeen #DeadThingsAreCloserThanTheyAppear #KingOfDeadThings #VampiresHeartsAndOtherDeadThings
I have the urgent & intense need to tell you about these books because I can’t stop thinking about them for reasons: they’re heartbreaking and soul shattering and breathtaking, and the kind of books you can’t say much about without spoiling the experience, so all I ask is that you trust me and read them, not just because they’re brutally underrated, but also because they will rock your world #kingofdeadthings #usinthebeforeandafter #providence #nevilholness #craigwilse #jennyvalentine #bookstagram #queerbooks #yafantasy
BOOK REVIEW King of Dead Things ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In this YA novel, two boys set out to defeat a great enemy together and restore what was lost. Eli can’t remember who he is and where he came from. Malcolm tries to forget. Together, alongside Eli’s two best friends Max and Sunny, they work together on a journey of self discovery & companionship to reach their goals. This was a delightful book and I really enjoyed the writing style. I wish this author all the best on their journey, and I am looking forward to the sequel! #kingofdeadthings #nevinholness #read #reader #reading #bookreview #book #bookish #booktok #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #inclusivebooks #pocbooks #bipocbooks #bipocbookstagram #jamaicanliterature #jamaicanbooks
