Keeper of the Bees by Meg Kassel Genre: YA Paranormal Release Date: September 4th 2018 Entangled Teen Summary: “ Beauty and the beast like you’ve never imagined! ” — New York Times bestselling author Pintip Dunn KEEPER OF THE BEES is a tale of two teens who are both beautiful and beastly, and whose pasts are entangled in surprising and heartbreaking ways. Dresden is cursed. His chest houses a hive of bees that he can’t stop from stinging people with psychosis-inducing venom. His face is a shifting montage of all the people who have died because of those stings. And he has been this way for centuries—since he was eighteen and magic flowed through his homeland, corrupting its people. He follows harbingers of death, so at least his curse only affects those about to die anyway. But when he arrives in a Midwest town marked for death, he encounters Essie, a seventeen-year-old girl who suffers from debilitating delusions and hallucinations. His bees want to sting her on sight. But Essie does...
Februrary already... What have I done with my life in the start of January? Not much...oops. I did some things though.
Friday-that was good. The wonderful Charlie invited me to the OUP night called Storm Your Imagination. It was for Joss Stirling's Storm and Stone and Nikki Sheehan's Who Framed Klaris Cliff. It was held at the 1901 Arts Club, which is an amazing venue-small, cosy, and just the right size for us all. Also warm-a big plus when it's tipping it down.
We had talks from both Joss, about detectives and Nikki, about imaginary friends. Both made their books, well the research behind them, seem fascinating and I'm looking forwards to reading both of those things.
OUP provided Siege and Storm, and Who Framed Klaris Cliff. They also gave us The Private Blog of Joe Cowley by Ben Davis, which looks quite funny, and Replica by Jack Heath, which I was looking forwards to reading before and didn't know it had been picked up in the UK. We also got a notebook and excellent food.
My favourite thing about all blogging events is meeting people. I had good chats to Charlie and Hattie, from OUP, and also to Darren (Book Zone for Boys) and Jim (YaYeahYeah) and Stacey (The Pretty Books). I also saw, but didn't speak much to: Daphne (Winged Reviews), Kerrie (Read and Repeat), Jess (Library Mice), Chrissi (Chrissi Reads), Orli (Blame my Bookshelf), Julianne (This Fleeting Dream), Clover (Fluttering Butterflies), Amy (Spreading UKYA)and lots more who I can't remember at the time.
Thank you, OUP, for the great night!
Other things I got this week...well I had a bit of a bad morning today. So I bought some books. I now also have Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson, a giant historical fantasy thing, Living Dolls by Natasha Stewart, and a book on French language/culture.
I went to the livescreen of Coriolanus on Thursday. It was pretty good. I'll do a writeup soon.
Charlie told me that Orion have picked up Golden Boy by Abigail Tarttelin! We always need more queer lit in the main market. *has research thrown at her* Golden Boy has been released! I need to find it.

I'm not sure if I've said this already, but there's going to be a readalong of the Tom Pollock's Skyscraper Throne series, before they release Our Lady of the Streets. More info here.
Awesome of the week-All of this website- Honest Book Copy.
Most especially Emma Maree's copy of Pantomime.
