Friday Fun Post: An Upcoming TBF Book I'm Dying to Read

What's up fellow book lovers! Katie C. is here with the next Friday Fun Post!

There are a lot of authors coming to TBF this year, which means so many books to read before this may. But out of all the books on my forever growing TBR pile, i'm pretty excited to read The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton.

Camellia Beauregard is a Belle. In the opulent world of Orleans, Belles are revered, for they control Beauty, and Beauty is a commodity coveted above all else. In Orleans, the people are born gray, they are born damned, and only with the help of a Belle and her talents can they transform and be made beautiful

But it's not enough for Camellia to be just a Belle. She wants to be the favorite, the Belle chosen by the Queen of Orleans to live in the royal palace, to tend to the royal family and their court, to be recognized as the most talented Belle in the land.

But once Camellia and her Belle sisters arrive at court, it becomes clear that being the favorite is not everything she always dreamed it would be. Behind the gilded palace walls live dark secrets, and Camellia soon learns that the very essence of her existence is a lie, that her powers are far greater, and could be more dangerous, than she ever imagined. And when the queen asks Camellia to risk her own life and help the ailing princess by using Belle powers in unintended ways, Camellia now faces an impossible decision

With the future of Orleans and its people at stake, Camellia must decide: save herself and her sisters and the way of the Belles, or resuscitate the princess, risk her own life, and change the ways of her world forever.

(Also feel free to Adore the beautiful cover, but just keep in mind it might not be final)

Dhonielle Clayton is an author that i just discovered this year and i am so glad that i did! The Belles seems like such an interesting book to me, especially since it's based on the concept that beauty is something that people are born without and must be obtained later in life. In addition to such a cool idea, The Belles also looks to be filled with danger, high stakes, and saving the world, all things I can spend hours with my head inside a book for. But on a personal level, Clayton's novel reminds me of The Uglies, a book I read for school back in sixth grade and loved! I guess that's why, out of all the upcoming releases in 2018, this one really stuck out to me. This book will be released February 6, 2018, and I cant wait to read a book that will bring back good nostalgia but be entirely new at the same time!

So if you're as intrigued by The Belles as i am, make sure to get it as soon as it comes out and say hi to Dhonielle Clayton this May at TBF! this is book blogger Katie C., signing off!
