Harley in the Sky Booktube Challenge

You may be reading this thinking, but wait, this is a blog not booktube. Well the lovely booktuber Emma is hosting a booktube challenge based on the upcoming release of Harley in the Sky and you know I had to join in as well! It’s six months till release, so here are the six prompts! Some of them are super tricky!

The Six Prompts

Make sure you check out Emma’s original video which was so fun to watch!

Just a note for my choices for the tag. I’ve tried to find both books that have already released that would fit the tag, and books that are upcoming – which I am excited for – and fit the tag! Just because I had so many ideas, I kind of had to.

Yellow book (bonus if yellow is the title in some way) – Don’t Date Rosa Santos. I could have looked for more yellow books, I thought of By Any Means Necessary and The Bride Test, but yellow is so important for Rosa. Not to mention I participated in a release day action where we all wore Yellow for Rosa so it immediately sprung to mind. For the book coming up which is yellow I’ve chosen, Deadly Little Scandals! I’ve read Little White Lies and loved it and I’m a huge fan of the cover re-design.
Circus (bonus if it’s not the Night Circus) – Look I have not read The Night Circus so I couldn’t even pick this if I wanted! I decided to choose Daughter of the Burning City which has been on my TBR for a while even though I’ve kept so up to date with Foody’s later series. But both Emma and I chose this book so it’s fate! For my upcoming pick, I’m choosing The Circus Rose which is a gorgeous book about twins and apparently a queer re-telling of Snow White and Rose Red?!
Harley (i.e. characters named Harley, with motorcycles) – And while we’re talking about The Bride Test, let me just drop it in here to talk about characters riding motorcycles and in a romance book – steamy! And for my upcoming book, I was reading Jackpot and discovered that the MC’s mom used to be in this like all women motorcycle club!
Mixed Race Character – You know the first book I thought of had to be Starfish by Akemi Dawn Bowman – which is Bowman’s first book! Also Emma and I picked the same one too which is total coincidence! I picked mine before watching the video. For an upcoming release I’m choosing The Silvered Serpents which has such a diverse cast and Enrique who is Fillipino & Spanish.
Book set in Vegas – My friend pointed out that Six of Crows also has a ton of gambling dens so that counts right? And for upcoming release, I am going to cheat and also take Emma’s idea about Ace of Shades and instead pick the upcoming sequel, Queen of Volts because this series is amazing and I cannot wait!
Aerialist/Flying (but also bonus points if also another aerialist character) – So I couldn’t think of any other aerialist books per se, but I did have a few flying recommendations: Among the Red Stars, Dark of the West, We Rule the Night, and Nothing But Sky. I also just finished Fireborne which you know has people who RIDE DRAGONS! so I knew I had to pick this one for characters who fly. But on the note of flying dragons, you could also have picked Crown of Feathers!
