Better view of the cover? Better view of the cover.
Behold:

Prince of Chandeliers by Gina Marinello-Sweeney. A young woman with dark hair stands in the center of a white hall. She wears a deep purple ballgown and a silver tiara. Wisteria flowers fill the bottom of the frame. An owl perches to her left. White chandeliers fill the top of the image, while a mysterious figure in a white cloak fills the background to her right.

Cover Reveal: Prince of Chandeliers by Gina Marinello-Sweeney

Another cover reveal so soon? Yes, indeed, we revel in pretty books this autumn. The bookmarkedone blog is very pleased to present a new, no-spice YA fairytale novel from the charming Gina Marinello-Sweeny. The Synopsis: Wisteria never forgets. When Princess Linetta finds herself in the silver woods with no memory of the past four years, she comes upon an enchanted castle that appears to be composed entirely of chandeliers.

Started to fumble a cheeseknife tonight and my friend just gave me this dead look of "not again."

bookmarkedone @bookmarkedone.bsky.social · 3d

So I've just stabbed myself. Accidentally.

I got distracted talking about books and sent the knife the wrong direction.

...don't...don't try to catch a knife when it's falling...don't do that...

(don't worry!! I am ok!! I had to look carefully to see if it even nicked me)

I am but a squiggle of ink in the world of books. I cannot be seen IRL. I cannot be recognized. I am nameless, faceless, changing as the wind.

don't scare me like that.

"Literature and Light Stabbing" is probably the most bookmarkedone thing I've posted in a while.

...also would be a great name for a @celanimori.bsky.social project...

I would like to say this is the first time I have bonked a knife into the air by talking with my hands a little too animatedly.

It is not. :)
