I received this book for free through the firstreads Goodreads program =)

Loved, loved, loved this book!! I read it all within 24 hours save 17 pages. I love how this book weaves other fairy tales in to its own plot. It's also done in such a graceful way and a way that makes sense. It seems a lot of the popular classic fairy tales find their way into this story.

The characters are so easy to love as well. I loved Sunday. Wednesday was also a favourite of mine.

I also must admit that during the ball scene, I had to stop and watch the video to "Love Story" by Taylor Swift as that scene reminded me so much of the video! After that, I kept picturing Sunday as Taylor Swift and Wednesday as Amy Lee (of Evanescence).

I can not fault this book in any way, shape or form. There is nothing bad about this book except that it ended =)

I'm hoping that there will be a second book since I loved this one so dearly!

Today is Dydd Santes Dwynwen—the Welsh Day of Love 💕, a celebration rooted in the story of Saint Dwynwen, the patron saint of lovers in Wales. According to legend, Dwynwen prayed to be freed from a love she could not have, and her devotion and compassion led her to become a protector of others’ hearts.

Her story is remembered each year on January 25th, especially in connection with Llanddwyn Island on Anglesey, where a well dedicated to her was once believed to hold omens for the future of relationships. Over time, the day has become a Welsh alternative to Valentine’s Day, marked by cards, small gifts, and traditional lovespoons—beautifully carved wooden tokens symbolising affection, commitment, and care.

Today feels like a gentle invitation to celebrate all forms of love: romantic, friendship, family, and the quiet kind we offer ourselves. May your day be filled with warmth, kindness, and a few heartfelt moments to share with those who matter most. 🌹✨

🦢 Release Day 🕊️

Whispers and Wings is officially out today, and I’m equal parts thrilled and emotional to finally share it with you.

This book has lived in my heart for a long time. It’s a story of quiet courage, healing that comes through patience rather than strength, and love that dares to mend what a lifetime has broken. It also brings the Brodyr Alarch series to its close, weaving the final threads into one mythic tapestry.

If you’ve been reading along, I’d love to know

✨ What kind of mythic stories do you love most?

If you’re starting the journey today, welcome. If the story resonates with you, please consider sharing this post or leaving a review—it truly helps these books find their wings and reach new readers.

Thank you for walking this road with me, for your support, and for believing in stories shaped by song, myth, and starlight. 💙🦢

Love this cover and I am so happy to have won a copy from bookish first to review. I used to play basketball in middle school and I enjoy any YA books that take me back to the time of playing sports in High school. I also love a good rom com and this book has that too but of course I am going to bring up that they are a diverse couple and she is plus size. I love a book that has representation and this one is so cute down to her jordan's on the cover and his van's.

Friends turned into more than friends story and it is a coming of age tale for both of the characters. Bethany and Jacob are bad at dating and decide to pretend date and usually this kind of story ends up getting dramatic messy and full of teen angst that is hard for me to get through but this book was totally not that vibe. They are both strong characters that don't succumb to peer pressure which is awesome <3<3<3
