Hi Reader, I've got something helpful to share with you about Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros! First, with 2.7 MILLION copies sold in its first week, this third book in the Empyrean series is the fastest-selling adult novel in 20 years. To put this in perspective, selling a few thousand copies of a book can land you on a bestseller list. Over the past two weeks, I've done nothing but read, take notes, and write about Onyx Storm. Earlier in the week, I shared my blog posts to date with you. Now, there are even more Onyx Storm blog posts at The Literary Lifestyle to share, including a character guide -- because I know how many people are struggling to recall the characters. (If you're still on the first (Fourth Wing) or second (Iron Flame) book in the series, don't worry! This link takes you to all my Empyrean series blog posts -- there are almost 30 now.) One more update to share with you is that you can now also purchase ad-free printable PDF versions of my Onyx Storm reading guides in my Patreon shop. This means you can have all my chapter summaries, dragon charts, signet charts, and character descriptions right at your fingertips while you read. (By the way, they are designed so you can avoid spoilers if you don't want to see them.) Your confusion ends and your escapism begins now.
Remember, it's a good day to read a book. -Jules P.S. - Members of my Patreon community get 20% off in my Patreon shop. To find your code, log into Patreon and click the Membership tab. If you aren't yet a member, you can start your free trial now if you want to use the code. |

Hi Reader, We're just days away from Mother's Day! Naturally, the best books about mothers are emotional. Good books about motherhood are as all-encompassing and immersive as this role is in real life. They span relatable and raw non-fiction books, as well as thematic fiction that explores the maternal bond, generational trauma, self-sacrifice, caregiving, the postpartum experience, grief and loss, and more. In my curated list of the best books about mothers, you’ll find something for your...
Hi Reader, Today's email is a more personal one. Yesterday, I celebrated my sixth wedding anniversary. (Bookmark is very old from Etsy and the shop is no longer active.) In case you were wondering, yes, books were mentioned in the ceremony! My husband and I each filled out a questionnaire for our officiant, and I talked about The Five Love Languages in mine, which he repeated to our closest friends and family: If you all know Julianne, you'll know that she's literary. She's a reader, a book...
