Happy Valentine’s Day. I thought this might be a good moment to announce a new project -- and it's a weird one! I created a game, based on The Cruel Prince and the Folk of the Air series. It’s called Enemies & Lovers: The Crown of Elfhame and it’s a fast-paced card game of strategy, deception, and betrayal for 2-4 players. I’ve been a player of games for a long time, but this is the first time I’ve ever created one. It was enormously fun work to learn about game design and to playtest it with family, readers, friends, and strangers. I am super proud of it. All of the full color, ridiculously gorgeous illustrations are by @frostbite.studios and all of the elegant line art was done by my partner, Theo Black. I'm planning on using Kickstarter to fund the printing of luxe decks (tarot-sized, with lots of gold) on May 1. Please click the link in my linktree above, which will take you to the pre-launch Kickstarter page -- and share the link with anyone you think might also be interested. More to come, but for now, thank you for coming along on this fun ride!

New (not black!) nails for WonderCon and rose alpine oolong tea for the weekend as I write Kickstarter lists in my planner (and many thanks to @live.love.posh for making a planner cover that could accompany me on tour and still show zero damage). Hope you’re all having relaxing, productive weekends. I am attempting to turn over a new, chill leaf.

Very excited to be interviewing debut YA author Sami Ellis this Monday at 8pm. Come hang out with us as we chat about slasher films, horror, camp, and what we’d be willing to do to live forever.

If you’re a millennial woman on #BookTok , odds are you’ve seen Holly Black’s #TheCruelPrince recommended by many. Well, Black just released the conclusion to the companion duology, and spoke with Romper about the new book, #ThePrisonersThrone , and why romantasy is arguably the most popular genre right now. Link in bio to read the interview. (📸 #HollyBlack via Sharon Jacobs/ Hot Key Books)

Thank you, kind readers for a totally SOLD OUT tour. I am agog. It’s been so wonderful to meet everyone, to hear about your friendships, your ambitions, to see your incredible cosplay and very fine personal style (and get some hair and makeup tips). I am still grabbing photos from the stores so hopefully I will catch up, but here are some photos from the @quailridgebooks event in Raleigh! And thank you to the always fabulous @tracydeonn for coming and hanging out with me.

I will be on the @kellyclarksonshow tomorrow (well, since I am posting after midnight, later today). And yes, she was just as kind as I could have possibly imagined. And has more secret doors than me! Find out when/where to watch in your area here: /wheretowatch

It’s PRISONER’S THRONE release day! Thank you so much to everyone who came out to Books of Wonder to celebrate with me. I will post more photos when I get them of all the incredible costumes, but I appreciate you all so much! I met so many groups of people who told me how they had connected with one another through books and it made me really happy. And I people who had stuck with me over the 22 years since my first book came out and I did my first ever event — at Books of Wonder! Also shout out to @zoraidasolo for hanging out for the whole event and bringing her first edition Tithe in hardcover! Dang, friend! 🖤🗡️🍾🧚🏼‍♂️🥂
