Some beautiful (and very shiny) book mail from Random House Worlds 😍 can’t wait to dive into those annotations!

I just…no shade to actors just trying to work, but with all the Persian actors working today, why is the lone narrator for Audible’s “immersive” Shahnameh audiobook a white man 🫠

✨It's not that bad, I swear✨ but I do have an important update re: the paperbacks for The Aroosi Arrangement!
A graphic that reads: An Important Update Regarding The Aroosi Arrangement A graphic that reads: "This is not an update I wanted to make, and to say I am disappointed is a massive understatement In true Persian fashion, Sam and Sharzad will be making their paperback debut on Persian Standard Time - which is to say, a little later than anticipated. Long story short: due to delays with the printers, The Aroosi Arrangement will not be ready for shipping out on October 14th as planned." A graphic that reads: "I’m working with my friends at Hopeless Romantic Books and The Romance Era to get all preorders out as fast as possible, it’s just not going to be as fast as I wanted, and I am so grateful for your patience. There is no change to the pre-order incentives, and those will absolutely be shipping out with the books as planned." A graphic that reads: "Please know if there were another, reasonable option available, I would have taken it. To everyone who has shown me so much love and support on this journey, thank you. There are thankfully no anticipated issues with digital preorders, so I’m grateful for that at least I am truly so sorry, from the bottom of my heart Arezou"

I am delighted to finally announce that my debut novel, THE AROOSI ARRANGEMENT, is coming October 14, 2025

This is the Iranian-Canadian, fake-dating romance of my heart, and I can't wait for you all to meet Sharzad and Sam 💜

arezouamin.com/books/the-ar...
A book cover featuring a man and a woman dressed nicely, set against the Toronto skyline, with text above them reading "The Aroosi Arrangement" and "Arezou Amin" The back of a book featuring the toronto skyline and the following summary: Sharzad Daryai looks like she’s got it all, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. She’s 32 years old, her dream job turning stale, and she’s desperate for a change. And then she finds out her brother is getting married. Her younger brother. Sharzad’s never been particularly lucky in love, but she doesn’t want to face another round of pitying aunties and uncles asking when it’s going to be her turn. When her siblings insist she needs to bring a date to the wedding, or else, she needs a solution. And fast. Sam Kazemi is a golden boy whose shine is tarnished. Sure, he’s got the fancy degree from an American school, but his girlfriend just dumped him and his dream project is in trouble. With a head for numbers, Sam has no flair for the creative, and no desire to admit he’s bitten off more than he can chew. After a pair of heated chance encounters, Sharzad and Sam strike a bargain: She’ll help him find a creative solution to his business woes if he agrees to pose as her boyfriend at all wedding-related events. The lines between work and play, real and fake begin to blur, but romantically-reluctant Sharzad and overly-confident Sam maintain that after the wedding, they’ll go their separate ways. After the wedding, things will go back to normal, with no feelings in the way. Right? Right?

I’m not ready. I thought I was, but I’m really not. The High Republic has meant everything to me 💛

A big thank you to Random House Worlds for this. I can’t believe the end of this incredible initiative is right around the corner

The Acolyte: Wayseeker is out today! I really wasn't expecting this one to be as much of an emotional gut-punch as it wound up being, though given that this is both The High Republic and The Acolyte, I probably should have seen that coming

10/10 would recommend:
