Where has this month gone? I AM NOT READY FOR SCHOOL. Yes I have one more month, but oh gosh life is moving fast, and I apply to colleges in the fall and ahhhhh.
AEITA ~ eHarmony Profiles
The romance in An Ember in the Ashes is quite frankly a mess. It's a tangled web that needs its own flow chart to make sense of. But what are each of our characters looking for? Today I share some eHarmony questions and answers from Elias, Helen, Laia, and Keenan.
Dearest America Singer ~ A Helpful Letter & Guide to Good Parenting
This post was inspired by something I tweeted. Then I realized how much I wanted to write this.
Although we've had our differences, I come to you in peace. I come to you with a plea. You don't know me (yet), but I'm from the future. I have an urgent matter that I must bring to your attention. What I'm about to tell you could alter the future as we know it. It's a risk I need to take though because nothing can be much worse than it is now.
I'd write a letter to America Singer from The Selection and tell her to raise her kids better because Eadlyn is horrible. #RandomYAParty

In this imaginative escape into an enthralling new world, World Fantasy Award finalist Kate Elliott begins a new trilogy with her debut young adult novel, weaving an epic story of a girl struggling to do what she loves in a society suffocated by rules of class and privilege.
Jessamy's life is a balance between acting like an upper class Patron and dreaming of the freedom of the Commoners. But at night she can be whomever she wants when she sneaks out to train for The Fives, an intricate, multi-level athletic competition that offers a chance for glory to the kingdom's best competitors. Then Jes meets Kalliarkos, and an unlikely friendship between a girl of mixed race and a Patron boy causes heads to turn. When a scheming lord tears Jes's family apart, she'll have to test Kal's loyalty and risk the vengeance of a powerful clan to save her mother and sisters from certain death.

Sophie—now Catherine, Grand Duchess of Russia—had a tough first year at Imperial Court. Married at sixteen to Grand Duke Peter, heir to the throne, and settled in their own palace, things are finally looking up. As a new day dawns, she thinks only of securing her future, and the future of their country, during one of the greatest political upheavals of her time. Fighting desperately against forces trying to depose the Empress Elizabeth and put the young Prince Ivan on her throne, Sophie soon finds herself in the middle of a war brewing between her beloved Prussia, and her new empire. But even as she navigates the fragile political landscape, she quickly realizes that she has only begun to discover the tangled web of deceit and infidelity woven over the lavish court of Oranienbaum Palace.
When a strange and delicate alliance forms between the young couple, she glimpses a future of happiness, only to see it lost in a moment at the hands of those who still seek to end her life—and prevent her reign. Out of favor with the empress and running out of options, Sophie will have to sacrifice her own innocence on the altar of Russia if she is to save the nation, and herself. To survive, she will have to do the unthinkable, betray those closest to her and become something greater and more dangerous than she ever imagined she could be… a queen.
