it has been a whole year of hand-fasting! i can’t freaking believe it and wish i had insight or a monologue of brilliant thoughts, but all i have is gratitude. it has found a home with so many amazing readers 😭 i hope you enjoyed walking through stella rune with loch and nia and i can’t wait to give you more books in this world.

if you haven’t read it yet, it’s discounted for the rest of the month 🫶 i’m doing a re-read too, starting today and through til the end of november (because i can’t be trusted with a set schedule lol).

xx L

p.s. thank you to all the amazing artists who brought loch, nia, and jade to life! this isn’t all of it either 🫣

⚡️BLURB REVEAL⚡️

“An irresistible swirl of mythology, academia, and finding yourself, this witty, steamy debut is a perfect blend of gods, fantasy, and modern women getting to save the day!”

A huge thank you to the WILDLY busy @se.wendel.author for taking the time to read & blurb Thunderstruck — at the same time as preparing for the release of TWO books, Foundling and the forthcoming Heartsworn! Asking for blurbs is one million percent the most intimidating part of the publishing process, and for such a beloved author to read my book still has me gobsmacked.

PS. The pre örder campaign with @therippedbodice ends NEXT WEEK, Friday 16 October!

⚡️THUNDERSTRUCK⚡️: An exchange student arrives in Norway and finds herself in a love triangle with an intense activist and an aloof environmental law professor — who turn out to be the Norse gods Thor and Loki.

Read for:
✨ ‘Mythology meets fanfiction’ vibes
🤓 An academic setting
🌱 Climate justice
😍 Very silly (affectionate) tropes like:
💞 A love triangle with immortal “brothers”
🐴 Only one horse
📚 Hooking up in the library
🌶️ Open door spice (make that 🌶️🌶️)
💖 HEA at the end of book 1!

In bookstores:
🇬🇧 5 Nov @harperfiction
🇺🇸 17 Nov @avonbooks

Baby Myles & Juliet!! (Fine, they’re 21 & 18, but aren’t they cuties?!) 🥰

I’ve been sitting on this piece from @poshotta for AGES! Thank you for capturing them so well! 🩷

In a twisted series of events, teenage Juliet is dateless for senior prom.
Until her long term crush (& older brother’s best friend) sweeps to the rescue. 😏

Then he broke her heart.
Now she’s married to him with a Polaroid of them on prom night hidden in a shoebox. 🤭

It’s a ✨journey✨, friends. 😂

But it was a golden summer they both never forgot. Try as they might. ❤️‍🩹

Meet Myles & Juliet in The Marriage Goal — coming November 3rd!

older brother’s best friend | marriage of convenience | clean romance | no spice | small town | hockey romance | interconnected standalones | closed door | she fell first | grumpy x bookish

Time to reintroduce myself since some things changed in the last few months. Hi! ✨️

(I'm so sorry to all the artists I've tagged in this, I just wanted your handles to be clickable so it's easy to find you! Carry on with your lives, don't mind me!)

I don't know if there's anything more I can add about myself, this is everything that felt right.

When it comes to moving to digital - Canva has the option of checking the source of their pictures, so I feel safer using that than physical stickers. And it saves time, which I'd like to have more of for reading and other hobbies (of which I have too many).

When it comes to crediting artists and indie vs traditionally published ones - I will still try to find the names/handles of artists in the books which are traditionally published. It's simply that indies have a lot more freedom with their works so it's unacceptable to me if they don't use it to promote their cover artists.
If I'm unable to find a name to attach a book to (I'm still behind, I made the rules up relatively late so some books I haven't checked), I will say that clearly (and probably bother one of the artists I trust with asking them if they think it's AI).

Also, this -> ✨️ is my favorite emoji, so you'll be seeing it everywhere. ✨️

Thanks for your attention! Have a cookie 🍪

Di solito non sono una che rileggere i libri, ma questo qui lo rileggerei mooolto volentieri perchè l'ho AMATO, e soprattutto perchè in giro ci sono voci che stiano producendo un film tra i libri della Armas🫠

Anche qui abbiamo una fanart disegnata da @poshotta che AMO profondamente🥹🧡

Quest'anno ho praticamente letto tutti i libri della Armas disponibili in italiano e non vedo l'ora di sapere qualcosa di più su "Alma Vampires" che uscirà il 17 novembre in inglese, che credo sia perfetto per questa stagione🖤❤️

🍀Manifestando per "Alma Vampires" in italiano e per qualche notizia sul film🍀

Avete letto questo libro? Vi aspetto nei commenti⬇️💌

🇬🇧 Hello! How are you?

I usually don't reread books, but omg I would really really like to reread it because i LOVED it, and especially because there are rumors that they are producing a movie of one Elena Armas' books🫠

We have another fanart drawn by the amazing @poshotta 🥹🧡

This year I read all her books that are available in Italian and I can't wait to know more about "Alma Vampires" which comes out on November 17th and I think that it's perfect for this season🖤❤️

LO SO, LO SO che oggi è il grande giorno di "The Love Hypothesis" e devo dire che anche io sono emozionata, nonostante non sia il mio titolo preferito della Hazelwood, ma credo che gli attori protagonisti che hanno scelto siano pazzeschi💙

MA sono qui per mostrarvi il mio libro preferito della Hazelwood (per ora😏) grazie a una fanart disegnata da un'illustratrice PAZZESCA🙂‍↕️

Ammetto che dopo "The Love Hypothesis" e "Love On The Brain" avevo un po' di timore che questo libro non mi prendesse e invece mi è decisamente piaciuto: sarà perchè un certo Jack Smith-Turner si è preso il mio cuore? Molto probabile💛🫠

Voi l'avete letto? Fatemelo sapere nei commenti⬇️💌

🇬🇧 Hello! How are you?

I KNOW, I KNOW it's "The Love Hypothesis" day and i'm very excited, even if it's not my fav Ali book, but i think that the lead actors they casted are amazing💙

BUT i'm here to show you my fav Ali book (for now😏) thanks to a fanart drawn by an AMAZING illustrator🙂‍↕️

I admit that after "The Love Hypothesis" and "Love On The Brain" I was a little worried about this book instead I definitely loved it: is it because someone named Jack Smith-Turner took my heart? Probably💛🫠

¡Hola comunidad lectora!
🥯-Traigo una nueva reseña del primer libro de la serie Windy City de la autora @liztomforde.author
🐶—Tenemos a Stevie, una azafata que acaba de comenzar a trabajar con el grupo de Hockey de Chicago, ama infinitamente los animales y la ropa de segunda mano aunque Stevie vive acomplejada por su cuerpo, eso no deja que pueda encontrar la felicidad propia y la aceptación a ella misma.
🏒—Zanders una famosos jugador de Hockey que tiende a fingir ser lo que no es, con el miedo constante de que la gente lo odiara si saben quien es el de verdad. Ocultando y borrando su identidad y dejando que nadie más que aquellos pocos vean lo que es. Solo Zanders
🐶—Me encanto esta historia desde principio a fin, ver como Steve y Zanders luchan con la atracción uno al otro, los avances de los personajes a medida que avanzamos en los capítulos.
🏒—Conecte con ambos personajes, se el miedo que es no sentirte suficiente con tu cuerpo,Stevie me eseño que no debo sentirme mal por no ser suficiente para nadie, me enseño la importancia de conectar con uno mismo pese a que aveces no pareciera que lo haces. Zanders pese que me caí mal en los oriemros capítulos, creo que tenemos los mismos miedos, fingir ser alguien que no eres para lograr encajar en una narrativa, borrando poco a poco tu auténtico yo para ser...¿Quien? Si al final no importa, ser tu mismo es la victoria más grande que podemos tener.
💌—Este libro fue un subir y bajar de emociones, te encuentran riendo en un momento y al otro los ojos te lagrimean. Es una historia rápida, linda y claro tiene sus momentos +18, pero la verdad es que este libro por sí mismo ya es hermoso 🥺.
🥯— ¿Ya lo has leído? ¿Te gusto?
Los leo en comentarios 💌🥯
Créditos a todos los artistas de los artes 💗

These cuties. 😍 All the art of Bertie and Luke (and baby!) is just too good! Art by @poshotta

I can’t get enough of these two.

BLURB

I should be focused on my college graduation and finding a big girl job, not picking out strollers and baby clothes, but here I am. A positive pregnancy test can throw even the best laid plans out the window. I feel far from prepared for motherhood, but it helps that my baby daddy is Luke Covey.

The guy is cool as a cucumber. Nothing ruffles his feathers, not even my unexpected pregnancy and what it might mean for his rookie hockey year.

He’s ready for it all—the dirty diapers, the late-night feedings, and the crying—but me?

I can’t help but freak out and wonder if I’m cut out for this.

But whether I’m ready or not, this baby is coming.
