Blog Tour and Giveaway- Keeper of the Bees @megkassel @entangledteen

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...

Book Tour + GIVEAWAY: The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black- #Bookishwishes













Today, I'm taking part on the Bookish Wishes tour, for Holly Black's The Darkest Part of the Forest.
First up, a bit about the book.




FAERIES. KNIGHTS. PRINCES. THINK YOU KNOW HOW THE STORY GOES? THINK AGAIN...
NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author HOLLY BLACKspins a dark, dangerous and utterly beautiful faerie tale, guaranteed to steal your heart...Children can have a cruel, absolute sense of justice. Children can kill a monster and feel quite proud of themselves. A girl can look at her brother and believe they’re destined to be a knight and a bard who battle evil. She can believe she’s found the thing she’s been made for.Hazel lives with her brother, Ben, in the strange town of Fairfold where humans and fae exist side by side. The faeries’ seemingly harmless magic attracts tourists, but Hazel knows how dangerous they can be, and she knows how to stop them. Or she did, once. At the centre of it all, there is a glass coffin in the woods. It rests right on the ground and in it sleeps a boy with horns on his head and ears as pointy as knives. Hazel and Ben were both in love with him as children. The boy has slept there for generations, never waking.Until one day, he does… As the world turns upside down and a hero is needed to save them all, Hazel tries to remember her years spent pretending to be a knight. But swept up in new love, shifting loyalties, and the fresh sting of betrayal, will it be enough?

For each stop, we were asked to share a bookish wish. Now, I have many, and could probably go on forever, but I'll share one I haven't ranted about online for ages. And that would  be to, one day, own a book and bake cafe.
It would sell food like this

Quoth the cupcake, "Nevermore" by Evelin-Novemberdusk on DeviantArt and

 And of course, have fabulous drinks to go with them. Maybe something like this 
a Cute Cat and Rilakkuma 3D Latte Art by LaPetiteMiae on DeviantArt
and of course
Tea Wall by ahermin on DeviantArt

 And the books- well, they wouldn't be the things for sale. You see, I know a couple of cafes near me where they have a book exchange, where it's take a book, leave a book. But their book exchanges are only small shelves.  In my book and bake shop, at least one whole wall would have bookshelf fitted to it for swapping.

 And there'd be a mix of genres and things and eventually we'd have a community of booklovers who shared things and had conversations and we'd just foster a band of happiness.

Also, as part of this tour, Indigo is playing  Fairy Godmother, and thus I have a copy of The Darkest Part of the Forest to give away to somebody in the UK.
To enter, tell me -your- bookish wish. Post them in the comments.
 For a extra entries, make a graphic or something illustrating your wish, and share it on social media with the tag #bookishwishes and mentioning Death, Books, and Tea.
I'll pick my favourite, judging on originality, creativity (for graphics and things) and any punning ability (for all things).

Entries close 12 February. Good luck!<

News! OUP edition

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...

Theatre Review: This Much by John Fitzpatrick, performed by Moving Dust

I am aware that my timeliness is terrible. I saw this show eight months ago, I wrote this review eight months ago, I found it again tonight.   I saw it at Edinburgh, and it's now playing at Soho Theatre as part of the Pride festival.  Title: This Much (or A Act of Violence Towards The Institution of Marriage) Writer: John Fitzpatrick Director: Kate Sagovsky Performed by: Moving Dust Cast:  Lewis Hart, Simon Carroll-Jones, and James Parris Seen at: Zoo City Review: Gar is in a long term relationship with Antony, and they're thinking about marriage , but meets Albert on an app. This leads to a romantic drama exploring the meaning and importance of marriage. I saw this in the programme. I loved the title and the picture and thought maybe if I have time. I then saw this being promoted on the Royal Mile- three men in wedding dresses standing on plinths- and thought, yes, I have to see this. I didn't really know about the play though. The drama progresses well. Something's...
