100% of affiliate revenue supports Not So Well Read
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ava Reid comes a reimagining of Lady Macbeth, Shakespeare’s most famous villainess, giving her a voice, a past, and a power that transforms the story men have written for her.
The Lady knows the stories: how her eyes induce madness in men.
The Lady knows she will be wed to the Scottish brute, who does not leave his warrior ways behind when he comes to the marriage bed.
The Lady knows his hostile, suspicious court will be a game of survival, requiring all of her wiles and hidden witchcraft to survive.
But the Lady does not know her husband has occult secrets of his own.
She does not know that prophecy girds him like armor.
She does not know that her magic is greater and more dangerous, and that it will threaten the order of the world.
She does not know this yet. But she will.

There is no easier way to stress me out than to ask me what my favorite book is. To me my "favorites" are a highly subjective and constantly rotating list based on my current mood and frame of mind...

I’ve reached out to our 2024 Inky Phoenix authors for their favorite books of the year and we’re kicking it off with the magnificent @avasreid author of LADY MACBETH.
Ava recommends:
“My top reads of 2024 are Allison Saft’s A Dark and Drowning Tide, a gorgeously evocative, dark academia sapphic rivals-to-lovers romantic fantasy, steeped in lush folklore; and Courtney Gould’s What the Woods Took, a visceral, emotionally powerful YA horror novel with another heartfelt and beautifully rendered sapphic romance at its core.”

Books I brought out of town...
Books I brought for barely 4 days out of town 😅 we all overpack books, right?
I ended up reading Lady Macbeth in full and about 40% of my Dark Water Daughter reread.

Wow, hi, did y’all know I’m really bad with dates? (If you’ve been in book club for a while, I’m sure the answer to that is yes)

So I read Lady Macbeth yesterday...
I read Lady Macbeth yesterday, one of my most anticipated releases of 2024, and y’all…I loved it.
I’ll have an actual articulate review to post before release day, but for now just know that I loved it, that @avasreid continues to be an absolute favorite of mine who crushes it with prose and characters again and again, and you should definitely have this on your radar.
Lady Macbeth by Ava Reid is out August 13! Big thanks to @delreybooks for the early copy ♥️
And look at this moody li’l video I got of my Lady Macbeth candle from @fictionbathco. Did I go out of my way to bring this out of town with me specifically to set the ambience while I read this book? 😐 Yes. Yes I did. (and I have a code with them if you also wish to get some wonderfully smelly stuff to set reading ambience 😌 SKIES10)

Sometimes you need just the right day and just the right circumstances for a particular book 👀 and it’s finally the right time for Lady Macbeth for me.
I’m out of town, it’s just me and my dog, and I specifically brought the book AND a LM candle with me to set the right ambience 😌
Goodbye world, I’ve got my plans for the rest of the day
