Happy US and Canada release day to Vow of Eternal Night! Thank you all for all of the wonderful reviews and kind words you’ve shared over the last little while - I’ve been overwhelmed with your support in the best possible way! It feels so strange to be on the other side of the ocean while Vow of…

If you can guess the niche book detail that made me cry before I get to it you know me better than I know myself (Although I was already emotional by the time I spotted it - it was just the thing that broke me.) So anyway this is my very nerdy tour comparing the US and Aus editions of Vow of…

Replying to @Donna so there’s this one romantasy book that came out recently I can’t stop talking about…(and if this isn’t your first time here there’s a good chance you might be able to guess which vampire romance I’m talking about) #booktok #bookrecs

Ocarina of Wasting My Own Time…aka my inner monologue 99% of the time. I’ve been deep in writing my next book for the last few months but I can’t use that excuse anymore 👀 so I should post about Vow of Eternal Night again but… Ocarina of Time… it calls to me… (also I didn’t speed it up this time…

This is at 1.5x speed because the actual footage was excruciating….. also it registers my laugh as Minuet of the Forest and I think that’s beautiful #ocarinaoftime #thelegendofzelda #legendofzelda

My 10 before the end… even though I still haven’t read all of my ten before the end from last year BUT THAT’S IRRELEVANT I feel like I’ve been in a weird reading mood lately while simultaneously not reading anywhere near as much as I want to and this list really exemplifies a weird reading year……

Clara Wagner is that you? The Melbourne Celestial Ball was SO MUCH FUN and I didn’t get nearly enough footage. If you want a wholesome bookish fantasy vibes night (and an excuse to dress up in your best gown) I highly recommend going to one! And in case you’re wondering: yes, I did indeed do a…

Nothing went to plan here but the worst part was PIERCING MY EARS. So plan my look for the Melbourne Celestial Ball with me. I’m going to take all the jewellery options with me because the more I watch this back the more undecided I am about the earrings in particular so it’ll still be a dice…

I said only one coffin but forgot to say arranged marriage and forced proximity somehow ANYWAY happy Vow of Eternal Night UK release date to all who celebrate. The perfect vampire romantasy to pick up for a final spooky season read #booktok #romantasy #vampirebooks

What to read based on your favourite Pokemon … idk how it’s taken me until today to make this video considering that I learnt to read by reading Pokemon books but THERE YOU GO. Before anyone gets mad I have multiple favourites that are ALL basic so we’re in this together #pokemon #booktok…

Nothing humbles you in a fancy setting like knowing you’ll be sitting on the ground in front of Big W for two hours the next morning for the chance to buy Pokemon 30th anniversary cards… worth it though (I’m very tired) #pokemon #booktok

Come with me to the Australian premiere of Sense and Sensibility! My secret booktok confession is that I haven’t actually read the book yet but I really want to now! I’ve only read Pride and Prejudice and Emma (and a half of Mansfield Park….) so this will have to be my next Jane Austen pick…

Cross stitch is dangerous stay safe out there embroidery buddies . . . Obviously I only filmed this after the bleeding stopped and I knew I didn’t have to go to hospital but man…I have a headache…

I realise no one knows anything about this book but guys… I’m obsessed with it… I originally wrote this line as “you cannot kill me in any meaningful way” and then when I was in the shower I remembered this old post and went “oh no…” I can never free myself from Tumblrs clutches…

Vow of Eternal Night is coming to the UK on 22 October which is only ONE MONTH AWAY!!!! Pre-orders are open in the link in my bio. If you want a vampire romance to round off your Halloween reads at the end of spooky season then might I suggest a certain slow burn Beauty and the Beast retelling……

Potentially niche rant here but I’m in an interesting period rn where I’m learning to balance my content as both an author and content creator because I genuinely love talking about books (and not just my own) but I get in these weird anxiety spirals where if I’m not always posting about Vow I…

I SOBBED towards the end of this book and there’s a video I posted 4 years ago while I was in the depths of despair over it that’s suddenly getting views now which is lowkey mortifying. Anyway once you read The Lymond Chronicles by Dorothy Dunnett it’s hard not to wonder how many of your favourite…

I should be writing my book right now but instead I’m sitting here in a ball gown cross stitching Ardyn Izunia . . . again . . .

I FEEL LIKE A PRINCESS and I think we all know which specific princess LETS BE REAL. For years I’ve been dreaming about buying a proper ball gown with Clara vibes so with Vow of Eternal Night out in the US it felt like a moment to really truly treat myself. PLUS I needed something beautiful for…

I LOVE ANTAGONISTS OKAY while filming /editing this video I had to go back through all my recent content five (FIVE) times because I feel like I’ve posted this exact video recently but I CANT FIND IT AT ALL so if I did and you remember….Just say nothing… if I did though at least one book on this…

It’s actually not a feminist slam dunk to suggest that romance authors don’t have agency over the genres they choose to write. In fact it’s better to just admit you enjoy romantasy than to pretend it would be a different genre if a man wrote it. It wouldn’t be. And it’s ignoring the men who write…

The earliest scenes I wrote from Vow of Eternal Night were originally adapted into a very very early form of chapter one which no one has ever read but me. I hope no one’s too curious though because I dredged it up not long ago and man…I improved as a writer a lot since then. I still love the…

Replying to @Calontopoftheworld wait until you find out I sometimes film my videos out of chronological order too… I’ve realised I often won’t know the exact best place to start a book until I’m close to the end. When I get too hung up on the early scenes I find it too hard to keep going, so…

Once my auto save wiped like four hours of work while editing Vow of Eternal Night which was annoying and inconvenient but not the end of the world because I only lost a half day but since then I CONSTANTLY back up my work. Also I used to draft on MS Word before I switched to Scrivner and it was…

I love opening emails like “oh man I hope it’s from someone who recently came across my book and was immediately captivated by the gothic intrigue.” I also love it when they think the key theme is “vows made in darkness” like okay buddy I’m sure you read the book. #booktok #authortok

I love the coffin jokes keep them coming but one thing no one prepares you for as an author is people making silly jokes about the spice in your book (which I love) and your parents ALWAYS INTERACTING WITH IT NO MATTER WHAT (BAD) it’s fine for now (I guess) but my next book is shaping up to be…

I’m also in desperate need of another sweatshirt to add to my rotation because I feel like I’m always filming in my FFXV and Stardew Valley sweaters and it’s time to mix things up. Time to get some book rep in my sweater line up. #booktok #crossstitch

Lily Georg who lives in a cave and only talks about four books is a statistical outlier and should not be counted. This video is inspired by me standing in front of my bookcase for 20 minutes trying (and failing) to come up with a video theme that doesn’t include any of these books. I just think…

These STUNNING special editions came out today! The quality is really high I definitely recommend going into a bookshop to check them out in person if you’re a James Islington fan! Thank you so much @Text Publishing for sending me these!! #booktok #fantasybooks #bookrecommendations

I had to cut 15 minutes of ugly crying out of this video… also the fact my legit response was to launch into a full blown Oscars speech is lowkey embarrassing but I decided not to cut it because it was my genuine response in the moment. Seriously though this book is so much bigger than me now and…
