New on Tablespoon: Is there love here? by Yasmin Jasmy

A few months ago, we had the privilege of working with Yasmin Jasmy from Pause to edit and format her lovely book of poetry. Is there love here? released today, and we’re proud to carry the ebook in our Tablespoon store!

Congratulations, Yasmin!

The ebook is priced at RM14 but will be on sale at RM19 until 5 June 2023. Get it now!

About the book

is there love here? by yasmin jasmy

Contrary to popular belief, love is not blind.

Love sees with eyes and ears wide open, absorbing everything it encounters as it exerts its subtle influence on our physical, mental, and spiritual health. If positive relationships with ourselves and with others can lead to spiritual growth, will the lack of love then lead to spiritual decay?

In this collection of 175 poems, Yasmin Jasmy explores the dynamics of love and not-love and the way our bodies have been calling us to pay attention to the status of our hearts. In an effort to encourage self-awareness and radical self-love, Yasmin invites you to pause and ask your heart: Is there love here?

About Yasmin Jasmy

Yasmin’s heart is most content when she is creating content from the heart. She discovered her passion for words while studying a postgraduate course entitled “Reflective and Creative Practices for Social Change” at the Institute of Development Studies based at the University of Sussex.

Yasmin has been writing poetry since 2019 – it helps her say what her mouth won’t speak. Since then, writing has brought her great relief and empowerment.

She is the creator of Pause and the host of the Pause with Yasmin podcast. She grew up in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

ARCs Available: The Tale of the Hostage Prince

Are you a book reviewer? Wanna get your hands on an advanced reader copy (ARC) of The Tale of the Hostage Prince?

The Tale of the Hostage Prince. Tag: Peace doesn't come easily, not for a twenty-year-old servant playacting at being king. On NetGalley for a limited time!

The Tale of the Hostage Prince (Absolution #1.5)

Yosua wears an uneasy crown. Although he is now Raja of Bayangan, he still longs for the land of his birth where everything was much simpler…and less deadly.

But peace doesn’t come easily, not for a twenty-year-old servant playacting at being king.

With his parents brutally murdered and his uncle bent on revenge, Yosua must decide where his loyalties truly lie. With his only remaining relative and the kingdom he has claimed? Or with his best friend Mikal and the sultanate that raised him as a hostage?

ARCs are available for request on NetGalley now until 1 May 2022!

If you’re not on NetGalley, but you review books on Amazon, Goodreads, or your own blog & social media, you can also fill up the form below.

Amok: Surprise lockdown launch!

Surprise Lockdown Launch

In light of our not-so-surprising Total Lockdown, we’ve decided to push up the release date of Amok for a surprise lockdown launch!

Yes, Amok ebooks drop today, 1 June*, so that you can hunker down in your house and entertain yourself with a great read. We’ll still honour our launch prices, so our ebook preorder prices of RM12 (USD2.99) will remain until the 23rd of June and will rise to RM20 (USD4.99) on 24 June.

You can grab your copy right here on this site, or at your favourite ebook retailer!

 

But what if I want a paperback? It’s pretttyyyyyyy

If you’ve preordered a paperback and/or still want to order one, we’re also maintaining the preorder price of RM35 until we actually have the printed books in hand. We’ll also sweeten the deal by sending you an ebook copy to keep you occupied until the paperback finally gets printed.

 

More Bonus Content!

And while we’re at it, send a screenshot of your Amok purchase receipt (wherever you purchased it) to admin@teaspoonpublishing.com.my by 24 June to claim a free copy of The Painted Hall Collection! Also tell us if you’d like it in ebook (e-pub or mobi) or if you’d like a paperback—we’ll ship** this to you for free.

 

Happy reading!

Stay safe, stay home, and get vaccinated.
