A lavishly reimagined and revised tenth anniversary edition of the New York Times bestselling first novel in the sensational Bone Season series, by the author of The Priory of the Orange Tree.
“Intelligent, inventive, dark, and engrossing.” — NPR.
Welcome to Scion. No safer place.
The year is 2059. For two centuries, the Republic of Scion has led an oppressive campaign against unnaturalness in Europe. In London, Paige Mahoney holds a high rank in the criminal underworld. The right hand of the ruthless White Binder, Paige is a dreamwalker, a rare and formidable kind of clairvoyant. Under Scion law, she commits treason simply by breathing.
When Paige is arrested for murder, she meets the mysterious founders of Scion, who have designs on her uncommon abilities. If she is to survive and escape, Paige must use every skill at her disposal — and put her trust in someone who ought to be her enemy.

6-5-4-3-2-1
Some books I’ve read in the last couple years that I rated 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 stars!
It was SO hard to narrow down the 5 stars because there were sooooo many incredible books I wanted to include but I kept it to six—just know that it pained me greatly to do so.

How Similar Is Our Taste in Books?
How Similar Is Our Taste in Books?
+10 points if you’ve read it
+5 points if it’s on your TBR
500 possible points (including Finding Gene Kelly 😉)
This is DEFINITELY a non-exhaustive list—there were so many I had to cut out because I didn’t want it to be 500 slides long. But I feel like this is a decent grasp of my tastes?
I’ve absolutely been loving this trend and I had to participate, even if I’m a little bit late to the game (as usual lol)

In the last two weeks I have managed to read 10 books. Of these ten books, three of them were 5 stars and one was the best non-fiction books I’ve ever read. It was so fantastic that I now want to just read non-fiction. One of my goals for 2026 was to read more non-fiction and memoirs and with three in those categories just this month, I think it’ll be possible.\
\
Ten books, however, is a lot and I want to break it down with what I read why you should read these books.\
\
The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon\
\
This was a reread but the first time I have read the new 10th Anniversary edition. I adored this series the first time I read it and rereading made me fall in love with the world and characters all over again. If you love dystopian and fantasy books mixed with a rebellion and hope that is just as likely to flourish as it is to be crushed, this is the book and the series you should be reading.\
\
A Time of Dread and A Time of Blood by John Gwynne (5 ⭐️ )\
\
Do not be like me and finish ‘The Faithful and the Fallen’, tell yourself you will get to the next series in a world you love, and then wait over 6 months before you do. Do not do it. You will regret it. The Banished Lands are John Gwynne at his prime. Everything you loved about ‘The Faithful and the Fallen’ is once again on these pages. While you have a new cast of characters and plot, the central themes, tone, and prose that you adored is present here.\
\
James by Percival Everett\
\
There is a reason this book is award winning. From the prose to the narrative to the themes, every aspect of this well thought out and thought provoking. The themes of racism, slavery, ignorance, and the exploration of the perception of language made this book more intriguing than I imagined. Layered with humor and heartbreak, ‘James’ is an instant modern classic.\
\
The Blood Traitor by Lynette Noni\
\
When I think of YA fantasy at its prime, I will forever think of this series. Up until the last page, I was rooting for these characters, wondering how the story would unfold, and be grateful for the journey I was taken on. If you want a YA fantasy series to fall in love with, this is the one for you.\
\
The House of My Mother by Shari Franke\
\
A mesmerizing memoir that showed light on a situation we all thought we knew, but from the perspective of the hell Shari was living in, a camera still only shows so much. Though I never watched or had heard of 8 Passengers on Youtube in their prime, I was aware of the fall out and preceding arrest of Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt. This memoir reaffirms my stance on why I am against family vlogging and what in this case turned into child exploitation. It was a heartbreaking and insightful memoir and one of the best I have ever read.\
\
The Gate of the Feral Gods by Matt Dinnaman\
\
I would like to state that I have been listening to this audiobook for about two months and only had about 3 hours left by the time February rolled around. It did not take me two months because I did not enjoy it (I really loved it), but because my fiancé and I have been listening to DCC whenever we are in the car together. That’s beside the point. The most important point here is if you haven’t read Dungeon Crawler Carl yet, what are you doing and why are you missing out on the best time of your life?\
\
On Sundays She Picked Flowers by Yah-Yah Scholfield\
\
The best way to describe this book is raw. Raw details. Raw emotions. Raw characters. Raw narrative. The writing to me was the best aspect of the story. It was lush but ominous, mixing beauty with horror in every sentence. If you want a graphic horror novel with peak writing, you have found not only an excellent debut, but the book meant for you.\
\
And Side By Side They Wander by Molly Tanzer\
\
In just 90 pages, you become fully immersed in the world and characters that are about to commit an art heist. It was surprising how much detail and nuance development in a short span, giving you a fully fleshed out story that makes you want even more. I would to see what Molly could do in a full fledged novel, the exploration of the characters, the philosophical undertones, and the depths of the political intrigue that was only barely touched upon. This does not come out until May, but it will be worth the quick read.\
\
Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson (5 ⭐️ )\
\
THIS BOOK! I rarely read non-fiction, but when it came to every aspect of this book I could not put it down. I got emotional multiple times throughout reading this, shedding tears through the last page. This was more than just a look at the injustice of the justice system in the United States, but a look at humanity, systemic racism, bias, poverty, and the violence and cruelty plaguing our justice system. It is both eye-opening and captivating, shedding light on issues that are going unchecked and repeatedly harming those who just needed a hand to help them up instead of push them down. I will be thinking about this book for a very very long time. I wish I could get everyone to read it. It inspired hope while also pointing out the tragedies that keep mercy from succeeding. Please, please read this. Whether you read non-fiction or not, it’s a book that would benefit from everyone reading.\

TBR Jar June - Pick #10
THE LAST BOOK 😭 The month is at an end but i finished The Bone Season just in time to pick one more on the last day of the month 📚

**What. A. Week. **\
\
I mean, is there even anything else to talk about? Certainly not in my life, at least. Launching Skies Press really has taken over all of my days and I can’t believe that was just on Tuesday. It feels like it was five minutes ago and weeks ago.\
\
\
\
We launched an imprint this week, I’m looking into my first manuscript, I’m finalizing show art for the podcast and reaching out to guest hosts - though I have not plucked up the courage to reach out to my list of authors I want to interview; one step at a time - I’m putting together a little Skies Press FAQ, it’s been a busy week! I’m also going to have a Skies Press Day One video up on Bindery soon (tomorrow, ideally)\
\
But if you’re on my socials, you’ve been hearing about that all week, so here’s what else I’ve been doing…which is really just here’s what I’ve been reading\
\
\
\
We’re still in TBR Jar June so at the end of last week I picked Book #6, **A Natural History of Dragons **by Marie Brennan. And thanks to eagle-eyed commenters who know my 2024 Priority List better than I do, this is the third book from that list that I’ve pulled from the jar!\
\
This book ended up being, for me, exactly what I wanted Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries to be. Historical, largely realistic with one prominent fantasy edition, academic, it was great! I had heard that there weren’t actually a ton of dragons in this book, despite the title, and that’s correct but in an expected way. It’s first and foremost a memoir of Lady Trent’s life, to which dragons were important but somewhat incidental, especially here in the beginning. If you like the regency england vibes + dragons this is worth a try; and if you want something similar but with more dragons check out His Majesty’s Dragon by Naomi Novik.\
\
\
\
Pick #7 was The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi and this is why I love the TBR Jar. Last Tale was one of my most anticipated reads of last year and yet it’s been sitting on my shelf unread for 16 months because I could just never find the right time. The right time was never going to happen! I needed the push to finally pick it up and this was everything I wanted it to be. Quintessential gothic literature; toxicly codependent relationships; a sense of unreality that permeates every scene and keeps you guessing what’s real; delicious prose; this book was immaculate. I read it in one sitting because I just couldn’t put it down.\
\
\
\
Pick #8 was another quick read, Midnight Mass by Sierra Simone. This is the companion novella to Priest which follows that book but takes place between it and book 2, Sinner. Romance erotica novella, I thought I knew what I was in for, but Sierra Simone loves to surprise. I really, really enjoy her writing and this series in particular is really emotionally deep - I didn’t expect Priest to be a book that handles questions of faith and community and expectation and grief as deeply as it does when I picked it up - and I was pleasantly surprised to see that continue here. Yes of course it’s got a high smut factor packed into so few pages, but it’s also a very realistic look at how things might progress for our couple after their book and how being settled into a relationship with someone you love isn’t going to magically fix things or keep it easy. I will say, given that it is an erotica novella I do think it should have some content warnings because I wasn’t expecting just how heavy it got, so if you’re looking into this one please be aware of grief and allusions to a past suicide and miscarriage are present in this book.\
\
\
\
Pick #9 was **The Bone Season **by Samantha Shannon which, again, I’ve been waiting to get to for the LONGEST! You may know how much I love Priory of the Orange Tree and A Day of Fallen Night, so I of course wanted to dive into her other series when I read those, but decided to wait when I heard she was revising the first book and read that when it came out. Then it came out and I just never got around to it. Well, I finally did.\
\
I will say, it took me some time to find my legs with this one. The world in TBS has a lot of moving parts and it’s a LOT of information shotgunned at you in the beginning with not a lot of finesse, but once I got past maybe the first third of the book and settled into the story and the characters I was HOOKED. The ending???? I’m not going to say much about the book specifically because I will say it’s not what I was expecting/thought it was going to be and watching it unfold into something unexpected is an experience I hope everyone gets to have. This feels like a series that’s really going to kick into gear in the sequels and I’m excited to continue.\
\
\
\
And finally I just pulled the final TBR Jar June pick, #10, Hall of Smoke by HM Long. Looks like it’s going to be HM Long month because I’m also about to reread Dark Water Daughter to then go right into Black Tide Son (which is currently sitting on my shelf right now! ahhh!). That’s what I’ll be reading during out Community Reading Night tonight on Discord and hopefully I’ll see you all there!\
\
\
\
\
\
So, that’s my week. Imprint launch and lots of reading. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to every single person who is reading this, who is supporting this venture, and who is here for the ride. We’ve got a lot of exciting things coming down the pipeline and I can’t wait to show you.\
