did you see the eclipse? 🌒

➡️ swipe for my eclipse pictures then again for me looking maybe the coolest I've ever looked 😎

had to do something for the eclipse so collected any space themed books I could find. most of them are pretty tenuously linked tbh but I tried haha

📚 the books

DARKENING song - @delphineseddon
Daughter of the MOON Goddess - @suelynntan
SUNrise on the Reaping - Suzanne Collins
ATMOSPHERE - @tjenkinsreid
Klara and the SUN - Kazuo Ishiguro

I think the only actual space themed one is atmosphere so maybe i need to branch out 😂

we went to watch the eclipse by crosby beach and it was just the perfect spot! getting the solar glasses was a hassle so I'm all prepped for the next one now lol

#solareclipse #eclipse #orbiter #sunriseonthereaping #taylorjenkinsreid Text - Happy eclipse!

Darkening Song

“I’ve been reading this beautifully written book called ‘Darkening Song’ by Delphine Seddon and am really looking forward to chatting about it with her at Wilderness festival this coming Saturday.
It’s the story of a young girl and her female manager navigating fame and the male dominated music industry along their journey. Please come along to listen to us both talking about our own experiences within the industry.”
Sarah Cracknell

Sarah will be in Q&A with Delphine Seddon from 3pm at the Forum Stage at Wilderness Festival @ Cornbury Park this Saturday 1st August.

🖤💋🎶🎸🎤 Darkening Song by Delphine Seddon

Eighteen-year-old Eva is interning at a record label when she discovers 16-year-old singer Alora online. When no one at the label is interested, Eva becomes Alora’s manager despite having no experience. As Alora is catapulted into the spotlight, the young women form a bond navigating the whirling vortex of fame. But when Alora’s dark past resurfaces, and Eva’s ambition blinds her to the warning signs, their lives unravel with disastrous consequences.

What a fierce debut! A powerful character driven exploration of ambition, fame and friendship in all its complexities. I listened to this as an audiobook and highly recommend, I loved the addition of original songs adding to the depth of the story. I can’t wait to watch the adaptation!

Have you read this yet?

HUGE thank you to the absolutely wonderful @delphineseddon and @blueneonbooks for popping in to sign copies of Darkening Song for us today ✨ It was an absolute pleasure 💕

DARKENING SONG is a fiercely feminist story for fans of DAISY JONES & THE SIX and EUPHORIA. It’s about friendship and betrayal. It’s a love story and a story about trauma. But more than anything, it’s a story about hope and about how dreams can come true in ways we least expect…👀

Darkening Song by @delphineseddon (out now with @blueneonbooks) has been on tour with Novel Tours, and we’ve absolutely loved seeing all the incredible Bookstagram content celebrating this fierce, addictive story across audiobook, print, and eBook 🔥

Daisy Jones & The Six meets Euphoria, Darkening Song dives deep into fame, friendship, ambition, and the darker side of the music industry - following a teen star failed by the industry that made her, and the manager forced to choose between loyalty and power.

**ad/pr** thank you @novel.tours for having me! @delphineseddon for writing an absolute cracker! And @blueneonbooks for publishing it! I kid you not this book was epic! It’s out now if you think it sounds like a bit of you! Highly recommend the audio as it has singing 🎵 yes actual music!!insane!

Official blurb - Eva is 18 years old and interning at a record label when she discovers 16 year old Alora online. Never before has she heard a voice like Alora’s, and when it’s clear there isn’t anyone at the label interested in hearing this phenomenal talent, Eva takes matters into her own hands and offers to be Alora’s manager without knowing the first thing about artist management or what’s about to happen to both of them.

It turns out Eva’s instincts were right...Alora is catapulted into the spotlight of major superstardom, and as the two young women navigate the whirling vortex of fame - the parties, the paparazzi, the power - they form a close bond, becoming found family to each other.

But when Alora’s dark and mysterious past begins to infiltrate her present, and Eva’s ambition and success blind her to the obvious signs that her friend is in trouble, their lives unravel with disastrous consequences.

My thoughts- well written, really felt emotional towards some of the characters, it felt like you were right there in the studio, in the room, in the gig, it was just awesome! The dark under belly of the music Industry was no surprise tbh. The music was epic! There are trigger warnings throughout.
I just adored this book and it has stayed with me long after! It’s out now!!!! Run don’t walk!

Let me know below if you have or are gonna pick this up

👄BOOK REVIEW 114 OF THE YEAR👄: 🌟🌟🌟🌟💫 wow - this was an emotional rollercoaster. Full of the music industry life with two young females, Eva and Alora, navigating their way as a music manager and artist - this is a painful look into the betrayal, corruption, manipulation and purity of that world. I would place the novel as a coming of age, feminist fight of a read exploring friendships, blinding ambition and power. Really enjoyed it.

The blurb: Eva is 18 years old and interning at a record label when she discovers 16 year old Alora online. Never before has she heard a voice like Alora’s, and when it’s clear there isn’t anyone at the label interested in hearing this phenomenal talent, Eva takes matters into her own hands and offers to be Alora’s manager without knowing the first thing about artist management or what’s about to happen to both of them.

It turns out Eva’s instincts were right...Alora is catapulted into the spotlight of major superstardom, and as the two young women navigate the whirling vortex of fame - the parties, the paparazzi, the power - they form a close bond, becoming found family to each other.

But when Alora’s dark and mysterious past begins to infiltrate her present, and Eva’s ambition and success blind her to the obvious signs that her friend is in trouble, their lives unravel with disastrous consequences.

Darkening Song what can I say? You broke my heart, then broke it some more just for good measure. I so wasn't ready for the levels of emotion you took me too...

With the knowledge that this is Seddon's debut AND the fact that it's already been snapped up to become a major tv series tells you all you need to know. It's something special.

Daisy Jones who?

I chose to download the audio and listened as I read making it more of an immersive experience with the added bonuses of the singing and music.

Feminist and fierce it's a story of friendships, fame, and everything inbetween. Easily investible characters, dark undertones and an engaging plot had me hooked!
