Goodreads Monday is a meme hosted by Lauren @Page Turner, and the idea is to post a book that’s on your TBR pile and show it off. This is a great way to show off books you haven’t managed to read yet!
This Goodreads Monday will be Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi. This book has been everywhere and has been getting so much love! I won’t lie, the size and me being a baby when it comes to fantasy is whats stopping me from reading it. Don’t fret, Amazon has it at a good price, so when I get paid I’m going to order it!
This week I have chosen:
Title: After We Fall
Author: Melanie Harlow
Published: February 27, 2018
Goodreads Summary:
Zélie Adebola remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and Zelie’s Reaper mother summoned forth souls.
But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, maji were targeted and killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope.
Now, Zélie has one chance to bring back magic and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zélie must outwit and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.
Danger lurks in Orïsha, where snow leoponaires prowl and vengeful spirits wait in the waters. Yet the greatest danger may be Zélie herself as she struggles to control her powers—and her growing feelings for the enemy.
I am DYING to read this one!

It’s such a shame when that happens! I’ve been waiting to read Tower of Dawn on Overdrive for over 3 months. I started out as #36 😂
