ACOTAR: Book Birthday Party!

I am so excited to be celebrating the release of A Court of Thorns and Roses by one of my favorite authors, Sarah J. Maas! I remember when I got my review copy, I had to fight the urge to drop everything and read it. Instead, I decided to save it for a rainy day because I just absolutely knew that if there's one thing that can completely uplift my spirits and provide me with a perfect escape from reality, it's a Sarah J. Maas book. And I was right. I am continually impressed by her writing, her world-building and the characters she creates. ACOTAR reads like a dark, twisted and sexy fairytale and I couldn't get enough of it.

Alexa of Alexa Loves Books and I decided that we had to celebrate today's release of A Court of Thorns and Roses. Because masks are an important part of the story, we decided to share our favorite fictional masquerade ball and what we'd wear to the event.

I immediately thought of The Labyrinth, which is one of my favorite movies. That ballroom scene with Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) and the Goblin King Jared (David Bowie) is such a standout one. Everyone is wearing masks but them. "As the World Falls Down", a song I love, plays in the background. And Sarah is wearing that big white ballgown. As a little girl, I just remember thinking that she looked like a princess. Granted, a princess dancing with a creepy king (David Bowie kinda freaks me out in this movie) but let's just ignore that part. 

Now as for what I would wear to a ball ...

I'd wear a beautiful purple gown and this silver mask. It's me so of course I'd choose something purple! 

If you haven't read or purchased a copy of A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES, 

I highly encourage that you do so! It's such an amazing book. 

Hope you enjoying joining in our masquerade fun. Make sure to check
