Teaser Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by Ambrosia at The Purple Booker. Here are the rules if you want to play along:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

This week’s teaser is from The Iron Traitor by Julie Kagawa.

“Who are you?”

Keirran’s voice had changed again. Soft and lethal, it raised the hair on my arms as the prince drew his sword and stepped in front of Annwyl, his cold gaze on the faery across from us.

Keirran is not the most forgiving of sorts, especially if you’re threatening Annwyl, so maybe whoever this is should back off?

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is:

Ten Anticipated Books Releasing in the First Half of 2026

As it turns out, I just signed back up with NetGalley again (or at least retrieved my password – it’s been a WHILE). Managed to snag two ARCs, which is really exciting, plus I get to better see what new stuff is coming out. Here are some that sound really interesting.

1. A Wild Radiance by Maria Ingrande Mora (January 20th – ARC!)
2. Sundown Girls by L.S. Stratton (January 27th)
