The header at the top of the image reads: Out Now.
In the center of the image (which has a background of lush crimson rose blossoms) is the front cover of Stephanie Burgis’s A Marriage of Undead Inconvenience, which shows an ominously closed entrance-gate at the top of the cover and a bat with its wings outspread at the bottom, all framed by climbing roses. Four arrows point at the cover with four chunks of text, reading: β€œBeauty and the Beast, but he’s a vampire” β€œShe’s brilliant, and he loves it” β€œTea is very important” and β€œShe *really* loves libraries.”

...And of course, if you haven't yet read the first novella in this series, you can snap up A Marriage of Undead Inconvenience, too. The New York Times called it "a charmingly subversive treat" and absolutely made my week. β€οΈπŸ¦‡β€οΈ

The illustrated cover for A Honeymoon of Grave Consequence, by Stephanie Burgis, shows the silhouette of an elegant traveling carriage over the title and a bat with wings outstretched underneath, all of it framed by apples and with mirrors at the top and the bottom of the image. Above and beside the cover is this snippet of text: 
Her pulse gave a sudden, panicked jolt.
Clearly reflected in the mirror, the ragged duvet was curved in the shape of her husband’s formβ€”but his pillow was empty.
What foolishness! Breathing in and out with slow control, Margaret set her teeth together and forced herself not to follow the instinctive urge to twist around and urgently assure herself that her life’s partner was safe.
The windows were fully shuttered with multiple layers of thick wooden slats. No sunlight could possibly reach inside this chamber, and she was no weak-nerved ingΓ©nue to be taken aback by a perfectly well-known side-effect of vampirism. She had been studying the supernatural for years.
Still, she’d never anticipated quite how unnerving it might feel when applied to the single person in the world who was undeniably hers.

My cozy-spooky romantasy novella A Honeymoon of Grave Consequence came out just 4 days ago, so of course it's supplying this week's Friday snippet. β€οΈπŸ¦‡β€οΈ

My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

Yeah the access to books for children has been heavily curtailed for a long time. My tiny primary school had a room full of books but no dedicated staff, my high school ironically had a staff member but not many books (he mostly managed the it centre)

will someone tell Rachel Reeves that a room full of books is better than nothing but school libraries needs librarians!! private schools know this and so have proper working libraries. all schools need that.

I’ll be honest in that I’ve been kinda behind on a lot of romantasy and current YA just because of writing but two friends told me I’d love this and I DO and I stole the proof off one of those friends so feel inclined to tell you all how fun it is for being able to read it early

The cover for Moth Dark by Kika Hatzopoulou which shows a girl (Sascia) millimetres from kissing an elf with dark hair and purple marks on their cheeks. They are both surrounded by moths and a purple tone to the cover.

This is what I was going to recommend! It’s for slightly older but I think is done so well that it works and you can have conversations around anything harder to understand. Def have a read through first as I’m away from my copy so can’t age check for def

A short Dragon Age Veilguard fancomic of two panels - Emmrich, Rook and Davrin are staring at the Hawke armor Tristan (Rook) is pulling out from the chest speculating how the heck it got there and who is the friend and what.

Second panel - the mentioned 'friend' being the king of the hill in the Fade - one and only Garrett Hawke the burple mage u_u
