Monday Night Thoughts

I know we’ve all been experiencing a whole new perspective on life the last month or so with our new conditions. But it’s important to stay grounded and at peace within our own homes.

Books Clubs, Buddy Reads, and just finding simple ways to socialize will help us all stay close and be able to interact with one another.

I’ve been bouncing around so many books lately because I haven’t been able to stay focused on just any single one. But then I was surprisingly chosen by Storygram tours to be included as part of their book tour for Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko.

This book has re-awakened my struggling focus, giving me an amazingly strong female character, a new world and a family of friends to focus on and love as my own. Ifueko has created a world that is easy to get lost in, a family struggle and pre-destiny that anyone would want to find a way to overcome and unique characters that you absolutely love for various reasons.

If any of you are struggling with the reading blues as I recently was, I’d highly recommend giving this one a quick look to see if you might love it as much as I do.


Synopsis

The epic debut YA fantasy from an incredible new talent—perfect for fans of Tomi Adeyemi and Sabaa Tahir
 
Nothing is more important than loyalty.
But what if you’ve sworn to protect the one you were born to destroy?
 
Tarisai has always longed for the warmth of a family. She was raised in isolation by a mysterious, often absent mother known only as The Lady. The Lady sends her to the capital of the global empire of Aritsar to compete with other children to be chosen as one of the Crown Prince’s Council of 11. If she’s picked, she’ll be joined with the other Council members through the Ray, a bond deeper than blood. That closeness is irresistible to Tarisai, who has always wanted to belong somewhere. But The Lady has other ideas, including a magical wish that Tarisai is compelled to obey: Kill the Crown Prince once she gains his trust. Tarisai won’t stand by and become someone’s pawn—but is she strong enough to choose a different path for herself? With extraordinary world-building and breathtaking prose, Raybearer is the story of loyalty, fate, and the lengths we’re willing to go for the ones we love.
