Shelved as 'desperate-to-read'
June 20, 2024here's what we know from Schwab's insta:
1. the short title is BOBITMS.
2. the second B stands for Bones.
3. We have a snippet that goes
"Bury my bones in the midnight soil,
plant them shallow and water them deep,
and in my place will grow a feral rose,
soft red petals hiding sharp white teeth."
4. And if we put two and two together that first line from the poem is our title.
5. bones, roses, red petals, sharp white teeth = vampires

I saw V.E. Schwab on her tour for the Addie LaRue paperback and she talked about this there and it sounds like we are in for a TREAT, she said Addie is the more optimistic of the two books and that part of the inspiration behind this is that she wanted an evil lesbian character but didn't want to fall into the 'the one gay is the villain' trope and so solved it by making everyone evil and gay. It's also somewhat inspired by Florence + the Machine's music.

I didn’t really like any Victoria Schvab books ( vicious, invisible life of Addie Laurie, a darker shades of magic)
But who knows maybe this one can be good?
