There were so many realistic moments showing the balance between the joy of motherhood and the exhaustion and loss of one's former self. The author was unafraid to delve into these more challenging topics while keeping a level of humor and lightheartedness at the same time. I was also pleasantly surprised to see multiple examples of queer representation, including our Bi main character, especially in Appalachia! I enjoyed that bi-erausre was touched on, even coming from other queer characters, which is unfortunately still a common experience. The representation felt natural and commonplace within the story, which is also refreshing. I actually ended up loving these aspects of the plot, as well as the growth and family development, over the actual romance elements. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> One thing I did struggle with was that everyone kept referring to the stepdad as Big Daddy and I personally just couldn’t get behind that LOL. The love interest was not my favorite, and I did find some of the inner monologues of our main character cliche or unrealistic at times, but this was still a fun story with nostalgic HGTV vibes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">*** Thank you to the author and TBRandBeyondTours for my copy in exchange for my honest review.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-biewE_SYBZf48MQUEGykx8xUOSP91FErulHxpGMOwz57x2zvhuTzPjBkbIl8f5BVckm3VrabUUpR1tjReUHK8h_ubIEOLXv8JAO70TZZX39oLVCilVWu28jeDoKfxpfUaUxqe6q2V9A2d0_BNjlYiNv7541votjt9XmpOlbVCW6EUSDOgow2vPBqx-Q/s200/meCE4wUw.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="133" data-original-width="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-biewE_SYBZf48MQUEGykx8xUOSP91FErulHxpGMOwz57x2zvhuTzPjBkbIl8f5BVckm3VrabUUpR1tjReUHK8h_ubIEOLXv8JAO70TZZX39oLVCilVWu28jeDoKfxpfUaUxqe6q2V9A2d0_BNjlYiNv7541votjt9XmpOlbVCW6EUSDOgow2vPBqx-Q/s16000/meCE4wUw.jpg" /></a></div></div></div><div>About the Author:</div><div>Laura Piper Lee writes lots of things–desperate pleas to her partner for emergency caffeine, to-do lists that never get done, impassioned texts on her favorite supplements (it’s Berberine, look it up)–but she only gets paid to write adult romantic comedies featuring characters as hapless as she is.</div><div>Add her debut Hannah Tate, Beyond Repair to your to-reads shelf, or hell, if you want to be a hero, pre-order it even!</div></div><div><div><a href="https://www.laurapiperlee.com/">Website</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/DistractLaura ">Twitter</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/laurapiperlee/">Instagram</a> <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/29122075 ">Goodreads</a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Giveaway (US Only):</div></div><div>The winner will received a finished copy of Hannah Tate, Beyond Repair.

But ever since an allergic reaction almost sent her to the wrong side of the grass, she’s been terrified that there is no afterlife. And after the death of her surrogate grandmother, Olive has kept everyone at arm’s length because if there’s Nothing after we die, relationships and love can only end in sorrow.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When she summons a spirit to answer her questions about death, Olive meets Jay, a hitchhiking ghost trapped in the woods behind the poorhouse where he died. Olive agrees to help Jay find his unmarked grave in exchange for answers about the other side and what comes next.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Meanwhile, someone―or something―is targeting Olive’s classmates, and the longer Jay lingers, the more serious the attacks become. Blaming herself for having brought Jay back, Olive teams up with maybe-nemesis, maybe-crush Marisol, ex-best friend Davis, and new girl Vanessa to free Jay’s spirit before he’s trapped as a malevolent shade and the attacks turn deadly. But in doing so, Olive must face her fear of death and risk losing another person she loves to the Nothing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Content Warning: death, grief</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Book Links:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/71941809 </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Here-Lies-Olive-Kate-Anderson/dp/1635830915/ </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/here-lies-olive-kate-anderson/1142869144 </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">IndieBound: https://bookshop.org/p/books/here-lies-olive-kate-anderson/19546460 </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">REVIEW</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><p class="p1" style="font-family: ".AppleSystemUIFont"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">Here Lies Olive is a dark and haunted coming of age story about spirits, death, afterlife, friendship, and first loves. The story weaves many important lessons about living and making the most of the time and people we have. I was surprised that this story was as dark as it was at times even though it seemed aimed at a more juvenile audience. The vibes were similar to the Cassidy Blake series by Victoria Schwab, which is one of my favorites, in that it was spooky and filled with history and ghost lore as we followed our gang of people (including a ghost) while still having that lighter feeling with blossoming sapphic love and rekindled friendships. I really enjoyed the setting and how the author chose to include Navajo culture and history as well as shedding light on the injustices done to Indigenous people, as well as in early asylums and health facilities in that region, but the story really only grazed the surface on those issues. I can’t personally speak to those specific representations though. Some of the supernatural aspects felt a little far fetched with the answers randomly and suddenly being "known" by one of the characters with little to no explanation which definitely added to the younger feeling. This was a unique way to tackle the heavy topics while making it accessible. I enjoyed the quick and easy writing and think readers on the younger side of the YA genre with enjoy this the most. </span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: ".AppleSystemUIFont"; font-feature-settings: normal;

But when her own father offers her in sacrifice to the Demon Witch, she is forever changed. Cursed with a serpent’s face, Channi is the exact opposite of her beautiful sister, Vanna—the only person in the village who looks at Channi and doesn’t see a monster. The only person she loves and trusts.<br />Now seventeen, Vanna is to be married off in a vulgar contest that will enrich the coffers of the village leaders. Only Channi, who’s had to rely on her strength and cunning all these years, can defend her sister against the cruelest of the suitors. But in doing so, she becomes the target of his wrath—launching a grisly battle royale, a quest over land and sea, a romance between sworn enemies, and a choice that will strain Channi’s heart to its breaking point.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Weaving together elements of The Selection and Ember in the Ashes with classic tales like Beauty and the Beast, Helen of Troy, and Asian folklore, Elizabeth Lim is at the absolute top of her game in this thrilling yet heart-wrenching fantasy that explores the dark side of beauty and the deepest bonds of sisterhood.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/66092846">Goodreads</a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Her-Radiant-Curse-Elizabeth-Lim/dp/0593300998/">Amazon</a> <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/her-radiant-curse-elizabeth-lim/1142853165">Barnes & Noble</a> <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/her-radiant-curse-elizabeth-lim/19537119">IndieBound </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">REVIEW </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Channi's own father offers his daughter as a sacrifice to The Demon Witch and she is cursed with a serpent's face. Her sister, Vanna, born with great beauty, is the only one who really sees Channi after the dark effects of her curse. And yet, the only way to reverse the curse is to bring beautiful Vanna to the Demon Witch before her 17th birthday. With Vanna being married off, Channi must help defend her sister against the evil suitors while knowing one must fall for the other to rise. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Elizabeth Lim is a master at weaving stories with rich folklore and mythology, emotional depth, fantastical elements, and constant action. Six Crimson Cranes was a five star book for me, so I am so happy she decided to keep writing in this universe! This is the story of two sisters who are destined to be pit against each other in order to prosper. It was a beautiful way to capture the spirit of sisterhood and the bond they have, as anyone with a sister could understand. Lim writes some of my favorite world building which always ends up being magical and detailed but also natural and easy to follow. This is a prequel to Six Crimson Cranes but can be read as a standalone. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Channi and Vanna often find themselves in competition and yet they never lose their unconditional love for each other despite their differences and situations. I especially recommend this if you have read SCC because of how much it expands the lore and backstory. Plus there are dragons! Readers will recognize hints of classic fairytales combined with Asian folklore as the characters face thrilling trials in an effort to survive and understand he power and limitations of beauty and loyalty. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">*Thank you to TBRandBeyond Tours for my copy in exchange for my honest review.

McManus’s The Cousins following a doomed family reunion gone wrong at a posh Caribbean resort, where old grudges and dangerous secrets culminate in murder.</p><p>Eleven Mayweathers went on vacation. Ten came home.</p><p>It’s been years since the fragmented Mayweather clan was all in one place, but the engagement of Addison and Mason’s mom to the dad of their future stepbrother, Theo, brings the whole family to sunny Cancún, Mexico, for winter break. Add cousin Natalia to the mix, and it doesn’t take long for tempers to fray and tensions to rise. A week of forced family “fun” reveals that everyone has something to hide, and as secrets bubble to the surface, no one is safe from the fallout. By the end of the week, one member of the reunion party will be dead—and everyone’s a suspect:</p><p>The peacekeeper: Addison needs a better hiding place.</p><p>The outsider: Theo just wants to mend fences.</p><p>The romantic: Natalia doesn’t want to talk about the past.</p><p>The hothead: Mason needs to keep his temper under control.</p><p>It started as a week in paradise meant to bring them together. But the Mayweathers are about to learn the hard way that family bonding can be deadly.</p><h2 style="text-align: center;">REVIEW </h2><p class="p1" style="font-family: ".AppleSystemUIFont"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">The Reunion is perfect for fans of We Were Liars and The Cousins— Family drama, rich people problems, and a good ole mystery involving a death, family secrets, blackmail, and more. The story is told from four POVs, which switch back and forth at random, and each of them have a secret of their own. The story is set at a luxury resort in Cancun where the whole family is reuniting for the first time in a long time for an engagement party. Tensions are high as two families are merging, especially as even the original Mayweather's have infighting going on already.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: ".AppleSystemUIFont"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 24px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 19px;">My favorite thing about this book was the delivery of the mystery. I thought it was a unique way to unfold the plot. Essentially, between chapters, the author added newspaper articles, information releases, and transcripts of the police interrogations that interject as the story is unraveling in real time through he normal narrative. We even find out who dies before they do this way which made it even more interesting to figure out what happened and who was involved. It made each conversation with that character all the more fascinating and suspicious as I tried to figure out if they had something to do with the death. I did find some aspects of the story repetitive during the build up as each POV seemed to have their ONE thing that was brought up every single chapter but it never seemed like it was contributing to actually revealing the secret. The final reveal was definitely unexpected but was slightly lackluster in comparison to the build up for me. Overall, this was a fun, transportive story with lots of mysterious elements and family dynamics. I also loved the diverse aspects throughout the story and thought it really strengthened the characters.</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><span style="font-size: 19px;">* I received a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review on the tour.

The Narrow has all of that and more. Eden is returning to the boarding school she has attended since she was eleven after a hellish summer. Eager to return to a life of comfortable lies and trying to forget the summer she had, Eden is ready to spend her senior year with her best friends. Except, her parents have not paid her tuition for the year and Eden knows she can't go to them after everything that happened that summer. Her last resort? Abigail House. There, Delphine, Eden's freshman year roommate lives secluded and unable to leave due to a mysterious illness. Delphine's mother pays the tuition for one person every year to live as a companion to Delphine at Abigail House. </div><div><br /></div><div>Every year there is a tradition at Atwood School where the students jump the gap across the Narrow, the deadly river that runs behind the school. As long as they follow the rules, only jump in the day and when it's dry and so on, it is safe. Everyone knows that what the river takes never returns. Eden knows that's not true. She saw Delphine fall into the Narrow and live one fateful night. Now she must live with her and that night that still haunts her if she wants to stay at school and avoid her home life. </div><div><br /></div><div>Delphine is not what she expected. Eden is drawn to her and the mysterious things happening at Abigail House. The wet footprints and the rain. Delphine is being haunted and now Eden is the only one who can figure out what is really going on. </div><div><br /></div><div>The Narrow was completely gripping and the most unique paranormal story I have ever read. Everything typical ghost stories do the author takes and made them her own. It was just the right amount of creepy with lots of atmosphere and depth. Even with all the hauntings some of the most disturbing aspects of the story pertain to reality. This is a story about love in all forms-- young love, first love, deadly love, friendship, motherhood, deep crushes, and overwhelming, toxic love. I devoured this book and never knew what to expect. If you want a haunting thriller with many sapphic love interests to consume you, I highly recommend this one!</div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">PLAYLIST</h2><div> <iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="380" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/1r8K9d1enZcxWbGkHs0lM7" width="100%"></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg8YXKyKjuCadTU3msVXjttRmMQ1icmjW34o6eUnsxm-OeCZkAfHs-T-bwmNRRZcDOvi_kLYtdlx6gNTAGkpryohQW5Elty2NCn-qHMou8yKOnGkLz9GFwpKobN67oxjXdkbActZOsPHYbCm8E68niGbzi4f4t-wGInjhaJiAMM1mj8zpuWUJsDrgoFOvA" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="164" data-original-width="200" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg8YXKyKjuCadTU3msVXjttRmMQ1icmjW34o6eUnsxm-OeCZkAfHs-T-bwmNRRZcDOvi_kLYtdlx6gNTAGkpryohQW5Elty2NCn-qHMou8yKOnGkLz9GFwpKobN67oxjXdkbActZOsPHYbCm8E68niGbzi4f4t-wGInjhaJiAMM1mj8zpuWUJsDrgoFOvA" width="293" /></a></div></div><div>About the Author:</div><div>Kate Alice Marshall is the author of young adult and middle grade novels, including I AM STILL ALIVE, RULES FOR VANISHING, and THIRTEENS.</div><div>She lives outside of Seattle with her husband, two dogs named Vonnegut and Octavia, and two kids.

They think America means big status, big dreams, and big bank accounts. But Phoenix doesn’t want big; she just wants home. The trouble is, she doesn’t know where that is… until the Hong Kong protest movement unfolds, and she learns the city she’s come to love is in danger of disappearing.</span><br /><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><br /><span style="text-align: center;">Seventeen-year-old Kai sees himself as an artist, not a filial son, and certainly not a cop. But when his mother dies, he’s forced to leave Shanghai to reunite with his estranged father, a respected police officer, who’s already enrolled him in the Hong Kong police academy. Kai wants to hate his job, but instead, he finds himself craving his father’s approval. And when he accidentally swaps phones with Phoenix and discovers she’s part of a protest network, he finds a way to earn it: by infiltrating the group and reporting their plans back to the police. </span><br /><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><br /><span style="text-align: center;">As Kai and Phoenix join the struggle for the future of Hong Kong, a spark forms between them, pulling them together even as their two worlds try to force them apart. But when their relationship is built on secrets and deception, will they still love the person left behind when the lies fall away?</span><br /><span style="text-align: center;">Content Warning: grief over death of a parent, police brutality, political unrest</span><br /><br /><span style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60021200">Goodreads</a> </span><span style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0316396826/">Amazon </a> </span><span style="text-align: center;"><a href="Barnes & Noble">Barnes & Noble</a> </span><span style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/an-echo-in-the-city/9780316396820-item.html">Indigo</a> </span><span style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/an-echo-in-the-city-k-x-song/18055304">IndieBound</a> </span><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">REVIEW </div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">This novel follows two star-crossed teens on opposite sides of the Hong Kong protests. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Phoenix, from a wealthy family with Ivy League expectations and plans for her to move to America, just wants to stay home in Hong Kong. She finds herself at a protest where she learns that her home is at risk of disappearing as tensions heat up with mainland China. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Kai is an artist. At least until his mother dies and he is forced to move back to Hong Kong with his father, a highly respected police officer who expects Kai to enroll in the Academy. As much as he hates it, Kai craves his fathers approval. What better way to gain that than to infiltrate the university students protesting and report their plans back to the police. Sounds easy enough, until he starts falling for one of them and wonders if he is on the right side of all this. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I learned A LOT from this book. I barely remember hearing about the protests on mainstream news but this was a very digestible introduction to the topic with a unique perspective! Seeing how both sides truly believed in what they were standing up for was interesting but I really enjoyed the focus on speaking up and being true to yourself and what you know is right. While this is a love story at its core, it transcends beyond that to be a heartbreaking tale with a hopeful message. Not only does it tackle political injustice and police brutality, but also family dynamics, cultural aspects, and coming of age decisions. I can’t speak to the representation or the portrayals accuracy to those who experienced this, but I think it will be eye opening to others like myself and a baseline to do more research.</div><div><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">ANNOTATIONS </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEik3no9U330Fdbs1LNOt0QXqLTZm518XNbqFjb1ylUanE63t5NBAjNKXr8AJqRGh9hp5-jE_7CBw92Z-3mMmnxrEU0Ddvblzf1D_UIY7-Nv5oOeOIqXNacbv53WrSxPYXDJ_lpzcKptIsNjejAGdpHgGKxmvpgaBBiUV-Wx-PSkIEPaDEYQwB2ar2akIVo" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEik3no9U330Fdbs1LNOt0QXqLTZm518XNbqFjb1ylUanE63t5NBAjNKXr8AJqRGh9hp5-jE_7CBw92Z-3mMmnxrEU0Ddvblzf1D_UIY7-Nv5oOeOIqXNacbv53WrSxPYXDJ_lpzcKptIsNjejAGdpHgGKxmvpgaBBiUV-Wx-PSkIEPaDEYQwB2ar2akIVo=s16000" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjOr0Un4zA2bvvedByXs7_-sijhYmhs4ACneZf7XVUHx9ZeYTYHnV9qKItQ0VSrrODaC9g_idj-9gcfrITECF4ThHBnNmKszvUEHeJoJYSwxrtIb-6aiwizGuz1s4_26RoKNj7EaaUlQQLBA92d8LlwjNJs6x3ijSjioH0Q8rrNYsteH6cRFPWnuqb0I20" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjOr0Un4zA2bvvedByXs7_-sijhYmhs4ACneZf7XVUHx9ZeYTYHnV9qKItQ0VSrrODaC9g_idj-9gcfrITECF4ThHBnNmKszvUEHeJoJYSwxrtIb-6aiwizGuz1s4_26RoKNj7EaaUlQQLBA92d8LlwjNJs6x3ijSjioH0Q8rrNYsteH6cRFPWnuqb0I20=s16000" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiHfBj22PG-gBkV_nsQoWpTo1pN_fNy1cSpCGgXrHo28vGDg75IrwVFoqVGLeKIlmD4dHkOtUx4IRWpsrrC3sabFwLrBY2ethCWIOoHHQXytyA9UPDDwzhZ-RIs1k7LEeXNaB4r276z4BzCuLrd1Rsse6gRUEITFFPI6eMISubMhCh_kqvQVwnAjW_sHXw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiHfBj22PG-gBkV_nsQoWpTo1pN_fNy1cSpCGgXrHo28vGDg75IrwVFoqVGLeKIlmD4dHkOtUx4IRWpsrrC3sabFwLrBY2ethCWIOoHHQXytyA9UPDDwzhZ-RIs1k7LEeXNaB4r276z4BzCuLrd1Rsse6gRUEITFFPI6eMISubMhCh_kqvQVwnAjW_sHXw=s16000" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi6F0N7mY4WvXPVVnjU3Ze2dZuT7qObSTF_r0dpFkd86kJ6FH16Q1SWM5mJDm2BMcSaxBYUfOTgg7spp5x8a1aPsgZ-lXsPfcMhJpCGvhb27WiQZ453Rpo6Ajw9xkWB63TOT8X_LSCbQXOwdmQbXsAKFCiwv381i_RNwSK8fqKTHxDE5CcuP7ZtRJRqKIw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2937" data-original-width="2350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi6F0N7mY4WvXPVVnjU3Ze2dZuT7qObSTF_r0dpFkd86kJ6FH16Q1SWM5mJDm2BMcSaxBYUfOTgg7spp5x8a1aPsgZ-lXsPfcMhJpCGvhb27WiQZ453Rpo6Ajw9xkWB63TOT8X_LSCbQXOwdmQbXsAKFCiwv381i_RNwSK8fqKTHxDE5CcuP7ZtRJRqKIw=s16000" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhVR560v4z7Z7gAVrWz9Yl4Pr4A1XtSm4vmWRuF4xawiLy5r-GRWYHsqDrTkJxsN66VDTjMT7WW_ZpMhuxCXNYIWzBDo8mvceKHMiC389_RC4DerRxzCGC5XXMBrAhvrJ0Nza4ld3WQ3siwW4qrckW7wgGfdlhvpAmpVDEcFwVKhLvRpYkAQn5hGQ13Fog" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhVR560v4z7Z7gAVrWz9Yl4Pr4A1XtSm4vmWRuF4xawiLy5r-GRWYHsqDrTkJxsN66VDTjMT7WW_ZpMhuxCXNYIWzBDo8mvceKHMiC389_RC4DerRxzCGC5XXMBrAhvrJ0Nza4ld3WQ3siwW4qrckW7wgGfdlhvpAmpVDEcFwVKhLvRpYkAQn5hGQ13Fog=s16000" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><br /><span style="text-align: center;">About the Author:</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjYqXREoc6tam0c1sV65iNwx6SSbVGtd9h6c9Xlz3xNxFQu-Rbu7-6JAaUXPXRozmEEqwcFjkGweo5QG2xMPk1dJBJWZS0knYNtYqYpJBlGtytWmaF0JbciRT7-iJremHdYRPuAreGpLR5u9tGMB9Adr5Z1_2BOe5YbaTYVVVsa1slkfeXGNkJOh38mXbY" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3360" data-original-width="5040" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjYqXREoc6tam0c1sV65iNwx6SSbVGtd9h6c9Xlz3xNxFQu-Rbu7-6JAaUXPXRozmEEqwcFjkGweo5QG2xMPk1dJBJWZS0knYNtYqYpJBlGtytWmaF0JbciRT7-iJremHdYRPuAreGpLR5u9tGMB9Adr5Z1_2BOe5YbaTYVVVsa1slkfeXGNkJOh38mXbY" width="320" /></a></div>K.

A young adult romance from the critically acclaimed author of Places We’ve Never Been.</p><p>Wren is used to being called a control freak. She doesn’t care; sticking to the list of rules she created for herself helps her navigate life. But when a cute guy named Asher walks through the door of her neighborhood coffee shop, the rulebook goes out the window.</p><p>Asher is cute, charming . . . and being catfished by his online crush. So Wren makes an uncharacteristically impulsive decision—she pretends to be the girl he’s waiting for to save him from embarrassment. Suddenly she’s fake-dating a boy she knows nothing about. And it’s . . . amazing.</p><p>It’s not long before Asher has her breaking even more of her own rules. But will he forgive her when he finds out she’s not who she says she is? Wren’s not so sure. . . . After all, rules exist for a reason.</p><p><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62649027 ">Goodreads</a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Borrow-My-Heart-Kasie-West/dp/0593643259/">Amazon</a> <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/borrow-my-heart-kasie-west/1142242388">Barnes & Noble</a> <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/borrow-my-heart/18917444">IndieBound</a> </p><p style="text-align: center;">REVIEW </p><p>Borrow My Heart is a fun YA summer contemporary that follows Wren, the girl who is all about control, until she sees Asher in the midst of being humiliated when the girl he met online ghosts him in front of his best friend. Wren decided to save him, pretending she is the mysterious online girl and while she stops the humiliation, Asher believes her too. Worst of all, Asher is nice and gives great hugs and suddenly Wren doesn’t want to tell the truth and lose him forever. </p><p>This one takes fake dating to a new level! I was was very pleasantly surprised at how the catfishing plot played out and wasn’t used through the entire book and the reasoning for the inevitable breaking point of the romance. In fact, I really wasn’t expecting the plot twist at all, turning what might seem like a predictable light romcom into a surprising and emotional contemporary tale. I really enjoyed all the animals and the Bean Games. I also was impressed by how emotionally affected I was by the family drama subplot and seeing how Wren’a broken relationships with her mom and family developed through the story. If you want an easy to read, light romance, with a touch of emotional damage this one’s for you! </p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you to @tbrbeyondtours and @kasiewest for having me on the tour!

The team includes CASEY, quiet researcher and trivia champ; JACOB, voice narrator and video editor, who is secretly dating EDDIE, aspiring filmmaker; and ZOE, coder and breaking-and-entering extraordinaire.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Now senior year is winding down, and with their lives heading in different directions, the YouTubers vow to go out with a bang. Their last episode will be filmed at the infamous Valentini “murder house,” which has been left abandoned, bloodstained, and untouched since a shocking murder/suicide in 1972. When the teens break in, they capture epic footage. But someone trips an alarm, and it’s a mad dash to get out before the police arrive—at which point they realize only three of them escaped instead of four. Jacob is still inside, slain and bleeding out.

I really enjoyed how the story was broken up with the newspaper articles from the original mystery, the current POV, and the POV of the victim before, and so on. It sounds confusing but it was handled well and made the story even more thrilling as the reader slowly learned more and more from each perspective. The premise was also really fun: a group of best friends with an anonymous viral youtube channel where they break in and enter abandoned locations and show their unseen nighttime versions. With all of them off to college soon, they decide to do one final video-- going out with a bang-- The Valentini Murder House. But everything goes wrong and one of them doesn't come out when the others escape. The research aspects for their videos and the mystery, and the newspaper articles <i>slightly </i>reminded me of reading A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, especially as they got more involved in trying to solve the case, but still very different. The best friends we thought we knew became unreliable narrators with messy drama and secrets. After reading the acknowledgments I discovered the author based the original murder on a true story which I found very interesting and made me want to go down a research rabbit-hole Casey style. If you love classic YA mystery/thrillers I think you should definitely consider checking this one out! It was fast and fun but still had some tense moments that pulled at my heartstrings too. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">** Thank you to the author and TBRandBeyond Tours for having me as a host.

And more.<br /><br />Or maybe I’m becoming what I always have been, <br />deep inside.<br /><br />A blade.<br /><br />When nineteen-year-old Fin volunteers to take her secret love's place in their village's Finding, she is terrified. Those who are chosen at the Finding are whisked away to Castle Courtsheart, a vampire school where human students either succeed and become vampires, fail and spend the rest of their lives as human thralls...or they don't survive long enough to become either.<br /><br />Fin is determined to forge a different learn how to kill the undead and get revenge for her mother, who was taken by the vampires years ago. But Courtsheart is as captivating as it is deadly, and Fin is quickly swept up in her new world and its inhabitants - particularly Gavron, her handsome and hostile vampire maker, whose blood is nothing short of intoxicating. As Fin begins to discover new aspects of her own identity and test her newfound powers, she stumbles across a string of murders that may be connected to a larger ritual - one with potentially lethal consequences for vampires and humans alike. Fin must uncover the truth and find the killer before she loses her life...or betrays her own heart.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: center;">ANNOTATIONS</h3><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgvWpG90CdkIFt4dcTbVTei0S1SJqIuQ02Sm4yMP4TMWFdRHyk_deayHWJO_pt_lxu1RlLCXwJx9gBpRFl7KtukMSV5yoGNWHgixtYeI7_AFz1LbxxXJVc30CJny28KRzenOtrhPb7KVHc0CbGPmxNC66KwuYXBkTyOr3c2x97E6hHTZRnO3eUya_lF" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="912" data-original-width="1169" height="498" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgvWpG90CdkIFt4dcTbVTei0S1SJqIuQ02Sm4yMP4TMWFdRHyk_deayHWJO_pt_lxu1RlLCXwJx9gBpRFl7KtukMSV5yoGNWHgixtYeI7_AFz1LbxxXJVc30CJny28KRzenOtrhPb7KVHc0CbGPmxNC66KwuYXBkTyOr3c2x97E6hHTZRnO3eUya_lF=w640-h498" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgGKWX24EIDMvBNu0uCRO85eAEsV1_apb7nCV1UuWpSl-U0l-8DYSgRbY5Mz4OQh3B0bj3TwATfUfQXCtj7CoD8L_kPWmJwY_FT-jTJC5OxcbY3_xveSeygs-qcIRY9WpBDPxEo1wZC8HdtCE0EaAF7miiM02cxqJj4cX6SBzoWv4aHXwD65bTD-b98" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1480" data-original-width="1170" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgGKWX24EIDMvBNu0uCRO85eAEsV1_apb7nCV1UuWpSl-U0l-8DYSgRbY5Mz4OQh3B0bj3TwATfUfQXCtj7CoD8L_kPWmJwY_FT-jTJC5OxcbY3_xveSeygs-qcIRY9WpBDPxEo1wZC8HdtCE0EaAF7miiM02cxqJj4cX6SBzoWv4aHXwD65bTD-b98=w506-h640" width="506" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgG6llXFpRmRGOQ_9okJmYr-fVP8AbPEnzsm3O21e-Jroz4jydlQ-ftcLzKUY8Rm1h7IJSKOdgud-DJGnuZsaLVfTNfm3ng37u6igULMCVc6AXgsqksMrIfnEPuJY0k48kX14z5CKwAhNdmieEYg2EO8fjqsL_QAQUWbeBaKkrxpzrMPB2X3xgtLTyl" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="912" data-original-width="1170" height="499" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgG6llXFpRmRGOQ_9okJmYr-fVP8AbPEnzsm3O21e-Jroz4jydlQ-ftcLzKUY8Rm1h7IJSKOdgud-DJGnuZsaLVfTNfm3ng37u6igULMCVc6AXgsqksMrIfnEPuJY0k48kX14z5CKwAhNdmieEYg2EO8fjqsL_QAQUWbeBaKkrxpzrMPB2X3xgtLTyl=w640-h499" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhvik6vpEMZLdViN1rCkTF2TX1YsyNnEir70H9cHZG7uxoBynjmit9k7qPhzgJ46rLNEm_Ech74rWXnv2SKQwNh1N_NgXpghAQ-Zn6_AdFn0BVqkfbBjvluqvGaBj64XgqtD7QT_OChgrAAiw-ZMBZGN8A9je-I_BpADVf7Io8h-QhIlWSRxQq9rpwN" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1662" data-original-width="1170" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhvik6vpEMZLdViN1rCkTF2TX1YsyNnEir70H9cHZG7uxoBynjmit9k7qPhzgJ46rLNEm_Ech74rWXnv2SKQwNh1N_NgXpghAQ-Zn6_AdFn0BVqkfbBjvluqvGaBj64XgqtD7QT_OChgrAAiw-ZMBZGN8A9je-I_BpADVf7Io8h-QhIlWSRxQq9rpwN=w451-h640" width="451" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiTHT6sIGWNulg4r4sQTomBWuZz2a3zdkhxn4qrUJko2D0sXyh2kDATWvqjboWHasMBXdLBh4tejkMjDBQFGmqv4M7JYSKdWffe17paPMQG5PBb_7zAoUbSOTEICsaK3Yw8op8PGZjkR-it6R4b_5mt24JjIkxbUjLgeU5JBUMWCKqbbiimzX8W-0Ur" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1162" data-original-width="1170" height="635" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiTHT6sIGWNulg4r4sQTomBWuZz2a3zdkhxn4qrUJko2D0sXyh2kDATWvqjboWHasMBXdLBh4tejkMjDBQFGmqv4M7JYSKdWffe17paPMQG5PBb_7zAoUbSOTEICsaK3Yw8op8PGZjkR-it6R4b_5mt24JjIkxbUjLgeU5JBUMWCKqbbiimzX8W-0Ur=w640-h635" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="text-align: center;">REVIEW </span></div><div> This book is the definition of <i>enthralling</i>. Firstly, the writing style was so captivating and descriptive, making it both easy to devour and transporting. The set up of the court system and world building took some adjusting but it was so interesting that I never got bored during explanations. The author is not afraid to dig into the dark and gritty nature of the characters from the very start. I LOVED how inclusive the vampire culture was concerning the (many!) queer characters. It was very natural but refreshing in a fantasy like this one for sure. It was so magical arriving to Courtsheart and seeing Fin discover her strengths through the vampire schooling and tasks. This story has Dark Academia, castles, vampires, slow burn romance, court systems, murder mystery, ballroom dancing, and so much more! I have read a lot of books about vampires and this is definitely one of my favorite versions, from the "turning" process and the maker/novice set up, it was so GOOD and unique! My main takeaway from reading was how atmospheric this novel was. I was sucked into a new world and I really felt like I was there. While I am still recovering from the ending, I think this book could be perfect for so many fellow readers! Imagine Zodiac Academy mixed with Vampire Academy and a touch of A Court of Thorns and Roses? If you like the sound of that, definitely check this one out! </div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you to Turn the Page Tours and the Author for having me on the tour!

In this heartwarming queer love story about love of all kinds, exes navigate new crushes, new feelings, and a newly uncertain future after unexpectedly coming out to each other on prom night turns their lives–and their friendship–upside down. Can they figure out how to move on without losing each other?</b> Jillian and Henry are the kind of couple who do everything together. They take the same classes, have the same hobbies, and applied for the same super-competitive scholarship so they can go to the same dream college. They even come out as gay to each other on the same night, after junior prom, prompting a sudden breakup that threatens their intertwined identities and carefully designed future. Jillian knows the only way to keep everything on track is to approach their breakup with the same precision and planning as their scholarship application. They will still be “Jillian and Henry”–even if they’re broken up.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Except they hadn’t planned on Henry meeting the boy of his dreams or Jillian obsessing over a cool girl at school. Jillian is desperate to hold on to her best friend when so much else is changing. But as she and Henry explore what–and who–they really want, it becomes harder to hold on to the careful definitions she has always lived her life by. Stuck somewhere between who she was with Henry and who she might be on her own, Jillian has to face what she can’t control and let go of the rules holding her back.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62562913">Goodreads</a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0593484908/">Amazon</a> <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-rules-of-us-jennifer-nissley/1142194708">Barnes & Noble </a> <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-rules-of-us/18850067?">IndieBound</a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /><div style="text-align: center;">About the Author</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJrPlkCy96Je_4kYzQ-t8rXPjefritr3HA-irRg0wCGQMEaYR-1LCCl7C6km1CVqcsQYKgQM7pv5tNiGLPuk8yc8maBeGbe3cyMtw8vtguhuClol3DZw3VwsvdpN9saKW2Kei0fAF0evoqmJ5r9lM9QjBz0JvvV0OPJVKiQ_Lubs9CCIkN4STm4DxD/s439/L7cjuAVY.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="293" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJrPlkCy96Je_4kYzQ-t8rXPjefritr3HA-irRg0wCGQMEaYR-1LCCl7C6km1CVqcsQYKgQM7pv5tNiGLPuk8yc8maBeGbe3cyMtw8vtguhuClol3DZw3VwsvdpN9saKW2Kei0fAF0evoqmJ5r9lM9QjBz0JvvV0OPJVKiQ_Lubs9CCIkN4STm4DxD/s320/L7cjuAVY.jpg" width="214" /></a></div>Jennifer Nissley (she/her/hers) is the author of THE MYTHIC KODA ROSE, which will be published by Simon & Schuster in Summer 2021.

Primrose Titan is the Goddess of Death, an ancient deity who reaps the souls of the dead and rules the Underworld. All life ends with death, and in death, there is no happiness. Primrose knows this better than anyone, and her heavy responsibility has twisted her reality, purging her of all feelings for humans—or so she believes.
When the Demon King Lucifer escapes his prison in Hell and threatens chaos on the human world, Primrose must hunt him down. The High Court, a council of deities, is skeptical Primrose can handle Lucifer on her own and appoints the handsome yet icy Atlas Grimm, one of the fabled Grimm Brothers, to assist her. Strange, dark magic and supernatural creatures sent from the Devil himself stand in their way, along with political enemies acquired over the millennia.

All emotion dropped from my face as it drained of color. My blood ran cold. <br /><br />“So,” my brother said, scrutinizing my reaction, “you should really be asking my sister about the security of her prison system in Hell, considering she’s in charge of that particular subregion of the Underworld.” <br /><br />The conference room burst into chaos. Deities sprung from their chairs and conversations escalated to loud screaming matches. Frozen, I tried to process Ben’s words. The Demon King escaped. My head was feverish yet light. Drops of sweat slid down my skin. Much time passed since I felt true fear. Lucifer’s name brought it back like a wave of deadly vengeance. <br /><br />“Quiet,” Erin Grimm ordered. “Let’s not devolve into hysteria just yet.” <br /><br />The room went silent, and the accusing gazes of the High Court pierced me like a hot poker. “As we know,” Erin continued, “the Devil is mad. He attempted to overthrow multiple deities and treasonously plotted against the High Court. We wouldn’t want such a thing to happen again, Lady Primrose. I’m sure you understand.” <br /><br />The High Court awaited my reaction with poorly concealed anticipation. They wanted confirmation I hadn’t set Lucifer free. Though I wanted nothing more than to annoy the petty, insignificant lives of the deities seated in this scented, elegant room, freeing Lucifer was not an option. His escape harmed me more than anyone else. <br /><br />Claustrophobia was theoretically impossible in a room the size of a hotel, yet I was suffocating under the pressure of hundreds of expectant eyes. Though the Court members wouldn’t remain patient much longer, I stole a moment to restore my composure, breathing in through the nose, out through the mouth. The beating of my heart slowed. My eyes glazed into boredom, and my heart distanced itself from every being in the room. <br /><br />I chose my next words carefully. “Are you certain he has escaped?” <br /><br />Ben’s forehead creased. “I have no reason to lie.” <br /><br />“His prison is well guarded. I have every right to contest a claim so outlandish as this, especially in the High Court.” <br /><br />“He appeared before me.” <br /><br />Shocked, I stood from my throne. My book and bag fell to the floor with a loud thump. All concern about maintaining a relaxed and collected appearance evaporated. “What?” <br /><br />Ben approached the Round Table. “You heard me. After throwing my castle into chaos and killing many of my loyal servants, he left a message for you.” <br /><br />The beating of my heart quickened. <br /><br />“What did he want?” Erin Grimm asked. <br /><br />“To make her pay,” Ben said, looking me dead in the eye, “and to finish what he started, but along with that, he wants her.” <br /><br />“What could he possibly want with her?” Erin asked. <br /><br />Ben gritted his teeth and inclined his head toward me. “Why don’t you ask her yourself?” <br /><br />Great. The gazes of the High Court pierced me once more. I lifted my chin. “Before I imprisoned him, Lucifer was in search of a queen to rule his doomed attempt at an empire. He found me suitable. I refused.”<br /><br />“Oh, but you did more than refuse his advances,” my brother seethed. “You refused any sort of negotiation and declared war on him.”</i><div><i><br />“Negotiation?” I wasn’t senseless enough to make a deal with the Devil. Even humans, in all their ignorance, knew better. “I don’t negotiate,” I said. “He didn’t take no for an answer, so I hunted him down, fought him, won, and imprisoned him. I have no reason to free him.”</i>

The author did a great job of blending so many different lores within this action-filled tale. The world and magic was extremely intricate. I was very impressed by how much detail and thought was put into unraveling the world and it’s systems while never feeling like info dumping. It was like the author anticipated every question I could ask and answered it within the story. I really enjoyed the guessing game of who I could trust (turns out I was never right!) and what was the truth. I have a feeling the story is only going to get more complex in the sequel and this is just the beginning. I did expect more romance and usually prefer more but the plot kept me hooked with what was given. However, the romantic elements were slightly unexpected in a way, as in they sometimes felt randomly placed throughout the story. For me, a few parts seemed to drag on somewhat and a couple fights with side-enemies seemed to border on filler scenes, but the pacing overall was really good for how much information, backstory, and tension is built. With that being said the ending really surprised me and I was not expecting what happened at all! I need to know what happens so badly I will definitely be impatiently waiting the sequel. For some reason I got major Percy Jackson vibes from this book, only older and much more corrupt! Read this if you like stories with Gods and Goddesses, political intrigue, assassination plots, demons, and plot twists galore.<span style="font-size: 19px;"> </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><span style="font-size: 19px;">* I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

As a mortal with no magical talent, she was never meant to break into ancient crypts, or compete with sorceresses and Cunningfolk for the treasures inside. But after her thieving foster father disappeared without so much as a goodbye, it was the only way to keep herself—and her brother, Cabell—alive.</p><p>Ten years later, rumors are swirling that her guardian vanished with a powerful ring from Arthurian legend. A run-in with her rival Emrys ignites Tamsin’s hope that the ring could free Cabell from a curse that threatens both of them. But they aren’t the only ones who covet the ring.</p><p>As word spreads, greedy Hollowers start circling, and many would kill to have it for themselves. While Emrys is the last person Tamsin would choose to partner with, she needs all the help she can get to edge out her competitors in the race for the ring. Together, they dive headfirst into a vipers’ nest of dark magic, exposing a deadly secret with the power to awaken ghosts of the past and shatter her last hope of saving her brother. . . .</p><p>Content Warning: foster family dynamic, childhood abuse, mention of suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and gore/blood</p><p><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62031346-silver-in-the-bone ">Goodreads</a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Silver-Bone-Alexandra-Bracken/dp/0593481658">Amazon </a> <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/silver-in-the-bone-alexandra-bracken/1142035912">Barnes & Noble</a> <a href="https://www.bookdepository.com/Silver-Bone-Alexandra-Bracken/9780593481653">Book Depository</a> <a href="https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/silver-in-the-bone/9780593481653-item.html">Indigo</a> <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/silver-in-the-bone-alexandra-bracken/18774237 ">IndieBound</a></p><h3 style="text-align: center;">REVIEW </h3><p>*I received an e-ARC in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. </p><p> I've been reading Alexandra Bracken's stories since 2014 when I was obsessed with T<i>he Darkest Minds </i>and she never fails to impress me. She has the amazing ability to create such distinct worlds from dystopian, to mythology, to now folkloriaon contemporary fantasy. While I know the gist of the Arthurian tales and legends, I am no expert, but I could easily see how it was woven throughout this story. However, if you do only have casual knowledge on the subject you can still read this and enjoy it in my opinion. </p><p> Silver in the Bone, like most fantastical stories takes some time to be sucked into completely. I think I was around 10% through before I was really able to grasp the world-building and the magical elements being explained. A lot of information is dumped on the reader at the start but the premise is instantly engaging. I also think it took some time to understand the setting of the world as it combines fantasy and modern elements. Let's just say I was slightly confused by the mention of an "ancient cell phone" in the prologue, but I also went into this one knowing literally nothing (as usual). But after sticking with it, I found myself loving the refreshing twists and unique world Bracken created. </p><p> By the end of the book, I was completely hooked by the curses and magic, the found family aspects, the forced proximity banter and romantic elements (the chemistry!!!!!), the sibling relationships, and strong characters. While it was a slow build up for me, the ending was just SO good (and emotional!!!!!!!). The plot wrapped in mystery and revenge and lore is something I think a lot of people would love.

The daughter of a Star Wars collector, she grew up going to an endless string of Star Wars conventions and toy fairs, which helped spark her imagination and a deep love of reading. After graduating high school, she attended The College of William & Mary in Virginia, where she double majored in English and History. She sold her first book, Brightly Woven, as a senior in college, and later moved to New York City to work in children’s book publishing, first as an editorial assistant, then in marketing. After six years, she took the plunge and decided to write full time. She now lives in Arizona with her tiny pup, Tennyson, in a house that’s constantly overflowing with books. <p></p><p>Alex is a #1 New York Times bestselling and USA TODAY bestselling author.

<br />
Best friends Carly, Daniella, Lainie, and Penny – aka the self-proclaimed
#SummerSisters – have been coming to the New Jersey shore town of Ocean Park
Heights ever since they could remember. And every year, the girls make a bucket
list and dedicate their entire summer to completing every item on it,
documenting their wacky escapades on FotoSlam for everyone to see. It’s their
tradition, and as long as the Summer Sisters had each other, the rocky jetty on
the shore, and their bucket list, that would never change. Right?<br />
<br />
But then, tragedy strikes after Carly – the mastermind behind the bucket list–
unexpectedly passes away. As the remaining Summer Sisters try to wrap their
heads around their best friend’s death, life seems determined to throw more
curveballs at the girls, threatening to split the Summer Sisters up for good.
Daniella is accepted to a prestigious music academy in New York City, Lainie
finds out her family is moving to Florida and leaving Ocean Park Heights for
good, and Penny struggles to find her footing as she feels ready to leave
childhood behind more quickly than either of her friends. What will hold them
together with Carly gone and the Summer Sisters seemingly over?<br />
<br />
Then, Daniella finds Carly’s final bucket list. And just like that, the Summer
Sisters are back! But of course, things don’t always go as planned, and the
girls try their hardest to navigate grief, loss, and coming-of-age woes while
keeping the Summer Sisters – and Carly’s memory – alive.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;"><o:p> REVIEW</o:p></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> <i>When We Had Summer</i> is a coming-of-age journey that tackles many heavier topics while showcasing the ups and downs of growing up. Four girls who have spent every summer together for as long as they can remember, completing an annual bucket list and learning the meaning of true friendship, become only three when one of their group dies unexpectedly. The three remaining best friends are left with nothing but their grief combined with all the issues of becoming a teen and starting high school. When the first summer without her begins, they realize nothing is the same. Until.... They find out she was already making the list for their next summer and now they have a chance to keep the tradition alive and figuring out how they can overcome the hardships they face. </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> This one, while very YA, was so very touching and down to earth. I feel like so many young people could connect to a story like When We Had Summer because it approaches so many different topics-- from grief, to body image, to moving away, to parental fighting, and so many more. Like they were all united though their summer traditions, the girls became united in their grief, and yet they were all so different too. One things I loves was the depiction of anxiety, positive therapy rep, and coping techniques showcased. Each girl dealt with their problems differently but all felt realistic too. Also, I loved seeing the author include diverse people, like a non-binary character, that further enhanced the story's discussions of identity. </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> While I think this one is probably better suited for younger audience than me, I still found it to be a beautiful reading experience that made me feel lots of emotions. I know I could have benefited from a story like this when I was younger. This book is hard at times but still holds onto the light you want in a summer-filled book. </o:p></p>

And got caught. Their punishment? Leave Arizona to spend the summer with their grandmother in the rainy beachside town of Nightfall, Oregon—population 846 souls.</p><p>The small town is cute, when it’s not raining, but their grandmother is superstitious and strangely antisocial. Upon their arrival she lays out the one house rule: always be home before dark. But Theo and Marco are determined to make the most of their summer, and on their first day they meet the enigmatic Minnow and her friends. Beautiful and charismatic, the girls have a magnetic pull that Theo and her brother can’t resist.</p><p>But Minnow and her friends are far from what they appear.</p><p>And that one rule?

After throwing a party that got way out of hand, Theo and her brother, Marco, are forced to leave their home to spend the summer with their grandmother in a small coastal town called Nightfall. Still dealing with the tension and pain of her parents divorce, Theo hasn't spoken to her mother in weeks either. As soon as she arrives in Nightfall, she </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">realizes</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> the town is strange and different than she ever imagined. First, there is her eccentric, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">superstitious</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">grandmother, who wants Theo and Marco home before dark. Then, there are the almost too beautiful locals, and the empty streets after dark.

I was very intrigued by the plot and it easily kept me captivated. I loved the nostalgic supernatural vibes as we entered the strange small town setting. The author created a perfect set up, described the traditions, the eerie superstitions, and the weird happenings. I also thought it was refreshing to have a brother-sister dynamic that was not the typical unfriendly sibling rivals. Theo and Marco are best friends and I loved their banter and bond. I also liked Nonna's character even if she could be harsh, I think she added some humor to the story in unexpected ways. Overall, I found the plot fast and fun and nothing too serious. There were some great campy moments!</span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi5RFy2WuuRSGFEjrJu95Y-NNC3UCkohav2dtfU9koo_QagDAJvBv7Qrv0tLPbww8UbDw2MY_Chv1-EuM1-sxNJ_2YRlPlCcfSuwyr6wMqFDr7mE4ddoNESya6jwP2VGWozcKB9lj1N5hmCmjvZJYXdUrCNPkDCGHlicl41JD9BzmkzVAkZn2kSeBwX" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1974" data-original-width="2668" height="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi5RFy2WuuRSGFEjrJu95Y-NNC3UCkohav2dtfU9koo_QagDAJvBv7Qrv0tLPbww8UbDw2MY_Chv1-EuM1-sxNJ_2YRlPlCcfSuwyr6wMqFDr7mE4ddoNESya6jwP2VGWozcKB9lj1N5hmCmjvZJYXdUrCNPkDCGHlicl41JD9BzmkzVAkZn2kSeBwX=w400-h296" width="400" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: medium;">What I didn't love: </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Everything about the way this book has been marketed screams vampires and yet the book tried to keep it a mystery way too long. Instead of creating a tense build up, the reveal fell flat and left the main character seeming unrealistic in her reaction. This made the pacing seem either too slow or rushed at different parts. I felt no real connection to the podcaster friends. I felt like it was weird that they just met this random girl at a party and within a few sentences were inviting her over for lunch too. I felt no real stakes for them.

Everyone else on earth loves the elves (especially their handsome princes) and would give anything to participate in Eterna’s annual Exchange, where three teens can trade their dreams for a week of elven magic.</p><p>But Sevim knows things most people don’t. She can see through the illusions the elves use to conceal their crimes. Ever since elves killed her father, Sevim has longed for revenge.

This story not only features a unique magic system and contemporary fantasy style, but combines it with diverse characters and beautiful culture too. Amparo Ortiz infuses the story with rich Puerto Rican history and culture, creating a fantasy world with Latinx elves and characters alike. Furthermore, other characters are equally diverse, as we get to meet a deaf elf, and queer, trans, Black, and Southeast Asian people along the way. I absolutely loved these aspects of the story. </p><p> The novel is also dark and mysterious too. From the start we learn our main character, Sevim, has a vendetta against the elves, and she steals their corpses to make money. Her father was killed by the elves, but everyone seems to be blinded to how evil the creatures really are. Every year, humans all over the world pine to be chosen for the Exchange, where a select group are chosen to visit the elven island of Eterna, where they exchange their dreams to experience elven magic. In order to save someone she loves, Sevim is forced to participate in the Exchange, where she learns nothing is as she thought and she can trust no one, maybe not even herself. </p><p> At times, I did find the execution of the plot to be rushed and slightly chaotic. While it was action-packed, so much happens so fast, I became confused at points. The challenges during the Exchange seemed strange to me as I felt unsatisfied that most of the keys to solving them was unknown to the reader until the moment it was brought up, as in I could not solve alongside unless I knew a random specific literature reference and so forth. Also, I loved Aro and his snarky comedic lines, however I did not feel a real chemistry as far as the romantic side plot and it seemed to appear and disappear randomly. This wasn't a major issue for me though since it was mostly a background plot to the main story, but it did limit the ending somewhat for me.</p><p> The thing that really kept me hooked was the amazing plot twists that I could never guess. Especially the bigger ones, which I really loved but wished there was more explanation along the way. Overall, this was a fun, diverse, unique fantasy with lots of surprising twists. I didn't love it as much as I wanted to but I still enjoyed my time reading overall!</p><p style="text-align: center;">3.25/ 5 Stars </p><p style="text-align: center;">Thank you to TBRandBeyondTours for the review copy in exchange for my honest thoughts! </p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiTjwnSPsr5iDFGUPAgWTPo9rYJItC8PBxUdJi72urcH-3ZlOwUy6IIUNvVUiAm_N6Huh9Rx21gwV6k1r8Igo8S_8Zx90sShY6ovZPx56Eqy0eU-2kY32L-6S7oMVdGfetgZcG0Ea6kfW2ezNTSGiMoTN6jZSr419RA1kuc8qfv0Fo0DS3PuQZLLxv8" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="719" data-original-width="1085" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiTjwnSPsr5iDFGUPAgWTPo9rYJItC8PBxUdJi72urcH-3ZlOwUy6IIUNvVUiAm_N6Huh9Rx21gwV6k1r8Igo8S_8Zx90sShY6ovZPx56Eqy0eU-2kY32L-6S7oMVdGfetgZcG0Ea6kfW2ezNTSGiMoTN6jZSr419RA1kuc8qfv0Fo0DS3PuQZLLxv8" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Amparo Ortiz is the author of BLAZEWRATH GAMES and DRAGONBLOOD RING.

<b>WEAR YOUR LOVE ON YOUR CHEST<br />
<br />
</b>A man, a woman—and their parasites. Marcus has been alone since the loss of
his closest friend and has just recently entered into the dating scene, while
Laura has drifted in and out of relationships since high school. They meet,
they have a great first date, and Marcus almost dies—because the slug-like
parasite that everybody carries in this world nearly rejects him, its
host. <i>BONDING</i> is a funny, quirky, and honest look at love, in
a world where everyone wears their anxiety, not on their sleeves, but on their
chest like big ol' leeches.<br />

Fans of Matthew Erman's work on Vault Comics' <i>WITCHBLOOD</i> and
Archaia's <i>JIM HENSON'S THE DARK CRYSTAL: AGE OF RESISTANCE</i> will
find lots to love in <i>BONDING</i>. Fans of Image Comics' <i>ICE
CREAM MAN VOL. 1</i>, DC Comics' <i>COLLAPSER</i> and even books
like <i>THE HOST</i> by Stephenie Meyer and <i>THE PARASITOLOGY
TRILOGY</i> by Mira Grant will enjoy this foray into all the stressors of
dating...where a parasite is the least of your worries (unless it kills you,
that is.)<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">MY REVIEW</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"> First, let me start by saying that I loved this concept a lot! I think <i>Bonding</i> is a great blend of sci-fi, "romance", and bigger discussions on the unsolved mysteries of life and the human experience. The world-building was slowly developed in a way that did not feel like info-dumping paired with beautiful visuals. I liked that the story covered a lot of harder topics, and for me, the anxiety representation was especially really well done. I did find some of the time jumps and interwoven stories to be confusing at times but I was still able to keep a good understanding of the characters and the problems they faced. I only wish I could have learned more about the history of the contact with the aliens and the original war, which was mostly mentioned in passing. This is a love story on the surface but it really delves into coming to terms with embracing yourself and all the baggage you carry. </p>

Unfortunately, their mothers are lifelong best friends, so the girls’ bickering has carried them through playdates, tragedy, and more than one rom-com marathon with the Moms. When Penny’s mother decides to become a living donor to Tate’s mom, ending her wait for a liver transplant, things go from clashing to cataclysmic. Because in order to help their families recover physically, emotionally, and financially, the Moms combine their households the summer before senior year.</div><div>So Penny and Tate make a pact: They’ll play nice. Be the drama-free daughters their mothers need through this scary and hopeful time. There’s only one little hitch in their plan: Penny and Tate keep almost kissing.</div><div>It’s just this confusing thing that keeps happening. You know, from time to time. For basically their entire teenaged existence.</div><div>They’ve never talked about it. They’ve always ignored it in the aftermath. But now they’re living across the hall from each other. And some things—like their kisses—can’t be almosts forever. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61030513-6-times-we-almost-kissed ">Goodreads</a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0316302791/ ">Amazon</a> <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/6-times-we-almost-kissed-tess-sharpe/1141412015">Barnes & Noble </a> <a href="https://www.bookdepository.com/6-Times-We-Almost-Kissed-and-One-Time-We-Did-Tess-Sharpe/9780316302791">Book Depository</a> <a href="https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/6-times-we-almost-kissed/9780316302791-item.html ">Indigo</a> <a href="https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780316302791">IndieBound</a> </div><div><br /></div><h4 style="text-align: center;">My Review </h4><div><br /></div><div>Tess Sharpe somehow managed to create an enemies to lovers sapphic romance that was also childhood-almost-friends to lovers but also not??? From the start the characters both dislike and pine for each other simultaneously, but it never seems like insta-love since we get so much build up and back story, with alternate timeline and dual POV. I loved it! The slow burn as we travel though the history of all their "almost" kisses! the forced proximity! the mutual goals that bring them together against all odds! This book has a lot of fun moments but it is definitely heavy too. There were amazing discussions of grief and mother daughter relationship hardships. I really admired the characters in this story. They were very dimensional and layered. Everyone were messy and had realistic faults but somehow still made me root for them. I felt the emotion they felt: anger, grief, love. It was the perfect balance of coming of age, discovery and identity, but also queer romance representation with characters whose sexualities are already majorly established. At first the back and forth timeline was a little confusing but as I kept reading I got used to it and was glad to have the different perspectives. Thought-provoking, fast-paced, and capable of pulling at your heart strings, I highly recommend this one.</div><div><br /></div><div><h4 style="text-align: center;">Annotation Art</h4><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEixKjRXURY0dTYga35vqRdcvfwoGnj6t0UxYQFD57efm4lxvrcovWAeKVbPRAqx2Fv8J27giH5TH44V7N0r-OFaiW4AcNZWbk7PGobXoEBqISSneAWWRJ0YlmY9sO1HKx0Vwcwd3v-vllk972nWzHHoQmqsBt8oB0dyGLdnFpucrsOjUrJcO1WROKCB" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1368" data-original-width="1094" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEixKjRXURY0dTYga35vqRdcvfwoGnj6t0UxYQFD57efm4lxvrcovWAeKVbPRAqx2Fv8J27giH5TH44V7N0r-OFaiW4AcNZWbk7PGobXoEBqISSneAWWRJ0YlmY9sO1HKx0Vwcwd3v-vllk972nWzHHoQmqsBt8oB0dyGLdnFpucrsOjUrJcO1WROKCB=w512-h640" width="512" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgGvd4NPbNGoF5Tg4oKa1bmruRaCQSzIybQh_UTJTPrB9kbycBIlrMw0aLka1EIt79-QtWhJXS2UicveqiSF5G0cvLrd2Nee74ZctvwqgQ5WKW5r6bMvFxG6ZAJcxZvFoC6ast-rROhh_kOVHtkr5Pq5afxFtoFGSOg2kh6zKAKYxTQbI3bqynyADWx" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1671" data-original-width="1253" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgGvd4NPbNGoF5Tg4oKa1bmruRaCQSzIybQh_UTJTPrB9kbycBIlrMw0aLka1EIt79-QtWhJXS2UicveqiSF5G0cvLrd2Nee74ZctvwqgQ5WKW5r6bMvFxG6ZAJcxZvFoC6ast-rROhh_kOVHtkr5Pq5afxFtoFGSOg2kh6zKAKYxTQbI3bqynyADWx=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjLKjOYpsNXTzbENtplvmL7mPNQsEn13vekOPPqn98TBVIJHoXcoKMdRXKFrrtKWodMxVvrVvELLuJORpv1SwUxHK83UXZfL3wxmKCKZBswoA6ZQyu1BBgM3pYuzgfO6_JEqlAV1uBO-gr8B54I5wkwmXo3XpmvyfTawLKXG0GUWzwfelmoxgNfZ5Sb" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1620" data-original-width="1215" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjLKjOYpsNXTzbENtplvmL7mPNQsEn13vekOPPqn98TBVIJHoXcoKMdRXKFrrtKWodMxVvrVvELLuJORpv1SwUxHK83UXZfL3wxmKCKZBswoA6ZQyu1BBgM3pYuzgfO6_JEqlAV1uBO-gr8B54I5wkwmXo3XpmvyfTawLKXG0GUWzwfelmoxgNfZ5Sb=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhk0_AaYf_3UjEYwhS-Mv_OIevD3FFoldzrfvr1V0HB_lnCqLVZAacq0B8AfcR8yOq-EcAalY8AwJ57ytZg9VL5ms2VMomAGf7qcqtmnCpzbmeGLlrmdSJSyNBrGhaejh5HoeIeqEpwPvf2OpKQmkyjcswYIr7Pi8fv2qP81z5Dn0ExXVve7rOlKo1B" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1642" data-original-width="1201" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhk0_AaYf_3UjEYwhS-Mv_OIevD3FFoldzrfvr1V0HB_lnCqLVZAacq0B8AfcR8yOq-EcAalY8AwJ57ytZg9VL5ms2VMomAGf7qcqtmnCpzbmeGLlrmdSJSyNBrGhaejh5HoeIeqEpwPvf2OpKQmkyjcswYIr7Pi8fv2qP81z5Dn0ExXVve7rOlKo1B=w469-h640" width="469" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhlF_g1t36Ky9AQyuXp69ex6GAtJYqb_ii2sSBxsd94ECceEEkXxznJd_K_bnE2iykrEA-y9lNkJsJm6Le6k98Xlr1w9Q-qMYgBcZxSYMnR8Gqxg98Jo5igaGVjnGsCitlzc_T1GNeMQ14bCIY6Kl1-w1b5V7x7BZwtL7dD1aVirpuwlHT7vQrNyiks" style="display: inline !important; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1625" data-original-width="1300" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhlF_g1t36Ky9AQyuXp69ex6GAtJYqb_ii2sSBxsd94ECceEEkXxznJd_K_bnE2iykrEA-y9lNkJsJm6Le6k98Xlr1w9Q-qMYgBcZxSYMnR8Gqxg98Jo5igaGVjnGsCitlzc_T1GNeMQ14bCIY6Kl1-w1b5V7x7BZwtL7dD1aVirpuwlHT7vQrNyiks=w512-h640" width="512" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiFsZgky7O-IrrDA8libHRXgBkihLbVbHLfADjBge9Kpnurq2pJ31S_22ig8u5pFG9Sq7rEN3r65qbyWyT-e-TkIiWt3dmguLag6LM_5CztL8Bber4O90JNVl9h4F4qe7PP9Nrw_76rWMrq85wzjFxemw6dM16fIRAhfaQyhchokFCjy-B2G5QChLT9" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiFsZgky7O-IrrDA8libHRXgBkihLbVbHLfADjBge9Kpnurq2pJ31S_22ig8u5pFG9Sq7rEN3r65qbyWyT-e-TkIiWt3dmguLag6LM_5CztL8Bber4O90JNVl9h4F4qe7PP9Nrw_76rWMrq85wzjFxemw6dM16fIRAhfaQyhchokFCjy-B2G5QChLT9=w213-h320" width="213" /></a></div>About the Author:</div><div>Born in a mountain cabin to a punk-rocker mother, Tess Sharpe grew up in rural northern California.

She made it easy to feel the tension and fear cumulating in the group as they were picked off and exposed with such a confined space. I love stories where each character has a dark secret they want to keep hidden, it gives so much added depth and curiosity, even if the characters are unlikeable because you want to know what they are hiding. I loved the Good Girls Guide to Murder series so it was no surprise that this would be a top notch read for me! I was nervous to see the follow up to that beloved series but I think this was an excellent new route that kept the same essential vibes we all love from Jackson</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">With a slower start, this story unfolds into an action-packing ending full of surprises.

But if Maisie and Lennon fail, it could mean disaster for the entire quarantine zone and its inhabitants—and could cost Lennon his life.</div><div>Strap in for breakneck action and compelling characters in this timely, nonstop thriller. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57604341-the-q ">Goodreads</a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09RPCKQZX/">Amazon</a> <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-q-amy-tintera/1140956709">Barnes & Noble </a> <a href="https://www.bookdepository.com/Q-Amy-Tintera/9780593644232">Book Depository </a> <a href="https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/the-q/9780593486177-item.htm">Indigo</a> <a href="https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780593486177 ">IndieBound</a></div><div><br /></div><div>ANNOTATION ART</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibdAsxWq33ve9sxcv-6qV43lVIJDQa8Rrq_IsnDXkOsNAsa4BIsbYcOUmQlB_iTqo2xNB-MFuhzMihF7eE813CltkBka3HliaX_erGHstf05TM8AfzfJLxEYjL949kGKiQI00LsH1H4isFrN0qiM4VDLbHaOjcn6SW7Pe50NdxvK0rdOPuLz56vumE/s1800/4C1E2C7F-243E-4D32-8600-B2561E5FE5A6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibdAsxWq33ve9sxcv-6qV43lVIJDQa8Rrq_IsnDXkOsNAsa4BIsbYcOUmQlB_iTqo2xNB-MFuhzMihF7eE813CltkBka3HliaX_erGHstf05TM8AfzfJLxEYjL949kGKiQI00LsH1H4isFrN0qiM4VDLbHaOjcn6SW7Pe50NdxvK0rdOPuLz56vumE/w512-h640/4C1E2C7F-243E-4D32-8600-B2561E5FE5A6.JPG" width="512" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFzgGF3GiOWm3N1QmSNsVzwqUnHyZlcr4TRyaSqR6KFVSti9KK3cijCZORoeMfTw48iFTuWZhw7ZjsS5CBB3R461J0SCXlLYKbWTUzkZqIHxbEATf-hVkZEdqBwngO3jDY7lLFCOLVBJ0OwiieMXovW4f7Pk7on7lBaVCFvl5wiOfTOsSlCgIbIsFK/s1800/96ADFB41-941A-460D-BBEF-FB846AD6D6AA.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFzgGF3GiOWm3N1QmSNsVzwqUnHyZlcr4TRyaSqR6KFVSti9KK3cijCZORoeMfTw48iFTuWZhw7ZjsS5CBB3R461J0SCXlLYKbWTUzkZqIHxbEATf-hVkZEdqBwngO3jDY7lLFCOLVBJ0OwiieMXovW4f7Pk7on7lBaVCFvl5wiOfTOsSlCgIbIsFK/w512-h640/96ADFB41-941A-460D-BBEF-FB846AD6D6AA.JPG" width="512" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQsoYQwW-OtwJpGf2hXvKATwzZb7ZN41oO_YbaRwTlGWNjc0Oj-UX7tifbtsDVGFB-G4nenR-QPsc3rjh8vU7VjrVxVaCiIOJ8VyV2jkLo4tvso7gZRK3KTDdj_GRBYYgWuOVDc9s8NL0_bvqqHcRzTaB1Xhe_TcOED10jPpIT3UbG4bG2iBQCJFzp/s1800/28148921-49C8-4587-9743-C0A464002C72.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQsoYQwW-OtwJpGf2hXvKATwzZb7ZN41oO_YbaRwTlGWNjc0Oj-UX7tifbtsDVGFB-G4nenR-QPsc3rjh8vU7VjrVxVaCiIOJ8VyV2jkLo4tvso7gZRK3KTDdj_GRBYYgWuOVDc9s8NL0_bvqqHcRzTaB1Xhe_TcOED10jPpIT3UbG4bG2iBQCJFzp/w512-h640/28148921-49C8-4587-9743-C0A464002C72.JPG" width="512" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieKjmRieSIRwJz7SeQT0dXhPPJpIy4x75PNcWor5uun0QYpyPHlvalnra1xojYbyi3xoo1cX9gvMInuRYfn47CFi-FalH_EwqpQ0iY7LXYhfg8N9FCXelIAqnu-2wM4ZBxXQW0ezdHQkrayYvHjm1MEzT6YHPKzPTWBZfO8uEGOy_yFotvfrweNbUK/s1800/A9E03734-31E8-4F90-B0C3-0AB7F07B96BF.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieKjmRieSIRwJz7SeQT0dXhPPJpIy4x75PNcWor5uun0QYpyPHlvalnra1xojYbyi3xoo1cX9gvMInuRYfn47CFi-FalH_EwqpQ0iY7LXYhfg8N9FCXelIAqnu-2wM4ZBxXQW0ezdHQkrayYvHjm1MEzT6YHPKzPTWBZfO8uEGOy_yFotvfrweNbUK/w512-h640/A9E03734-31E8-4F90-B0C3-0AB7F07B96BF.JPG" width="512" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div>MY REVIEW </div><div><br /></div><div> Most of the first books that made me fall in love with reading were dystopians and The Q appealed to my nostalgic feelings toward that whole genre. While it has dystopian vibes, being set inside a futuristic quarantine zone with rival gangs controlling order, it stays grounded in that the outside world remains somewhat normal, with presidential elections and decisive opinion on how to handle the so-called crisis. </div><div> Throughout the book we get two POVs: Maisie Rojas and Lennon Pierce. Maisie is one of the few surviving First Five of Generation Q, meaning she was born inside the Q in the first five years. The Q is a quarantine zone, meant to be temporary fix to stop a virus from spreading to the rest of the world that ended up becoming permanent. Inside, the north and south sectors are divided in control between tot Lopez and Spencer families. Maisie is the daughter of the late 2nd in command of the Lopez zone. </div><div> Lennon Pierce is the son of Senator Pierce, the current Democratic nominee for the presidential election who supports removing the walls and finding a solution to the Q. A few days before the election, Lennon is kidnapped and (literally) dropped inside the Q where tensions are already high. The only way for him to leave without being infected means a 72 hour window for him to make it to the north gate, on the opposite side of the Q, in enemy territory. </div><div> I loved this one! It was so fast-paced and full of constant action. I enjoyed how the virus/quarantine was discussed but not the forefront of the story. I enjoyed the cast of characters that Tintera created. Even though they were young people in big positions, it felt realistic and believable considering the set up fo the Q. Maisie is a girl boss for sure and I thought she was strong lead for this story. I was happy to see her leadership evolve and develop throughout. The dialogue was funny and smart, keeping the overall tone light and well-balanced with the more serious aspects. If you are looking for a thrilling book full of political intrigue, smart characters, humur, and the perfect balance of sci-fi/dystopian vibes, I highly recommend you check out the Q!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOCQasSEh2np7DW39CFsmMNUMf21DUKFeWKAMFHOhFrUf8JQBymLPf-o0sYy51VKAiTV0EjyV3hp6ytEmgLd382Uo0AH9ACzYxI2wC_8_fFtREzkZC2jSeAbLZ5dOQv-yeTFFg2SRAeBqREd4wXxsXeX2zU8POOvc-OCgjl8i0vhfQ9sJ9pfqrBS8_/s1300/BNWlqjD0.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1300" data-original-width="868" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOCQasSEh2np7DW39CFsmMNUMf21DUKFeWKAMFHOhFrUf8JQBymLPf-o0sYy51VKAiTV0EjyV3hp6ytEmgLd382Uo0AH9ACzYxI2wC_8_fFtREzkZC2jSeAbLZ5dOQv-yeTFFg2SRAeBqREd4wXxsXeX2zU8POOvc-OCgjl8i0vhfQ9sJ9pfqrBS8_/s320/BNWlqjD0.jpeg" width="214" /></a></div>About the Author:</div><div>Amy Tintera is the NYT bestselling author of thrilling novels for readers of all ages.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">After a painful break-up in
university, Bethany Clarke has sworn off love to focus on her career. From her
humble South Side beginnings to her position as an architect intern at a
prestigious Chicago firm, she's proven to be a hard worker and is proud of her
accomplishments. In three years, she’ll be a fully licensed architect which is
more important to her than anything else.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk117848699;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Confirmed bachelor Nicholas Grey is more than the playboy perpetrated by the
tabloids. Now his position as CEO of the architecture firm Grey & Company
is on the line, and his mother’s interference is making things more difficult.
Nick’s committed to his work, but, in order to be taken seriously, he needs to
land a huge project. A stable personal life will help guarantee the contract.<br />
<br />
Fairy Godmother Faye Delmore hears Nick’s plea and steps in to help. Posing as
a publicist, she suggests a strategy to polish his public image, which includes
convincing Beth to play his wife. Faye knows Nick needs the huge project to
save his job, but she also knows he needs Beth in his life.<br />
<br />
What happens when you add a fairy godmother who loves playing matchmaker into
the equation? A future designed by destiny.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> Review</o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> Designed by Destiny is a fast-paced romance with a dash of magical realism! This is a genre mix I don’t see very often, so I was excited to dive into the classic fake relationship storyline with an all new twist: a fairy godmother. I did enjoy that we got a dual-POV as I really love seeing both love interests perspective on the relationship, but it did take a while to get used to this style where we see both perspectives on the same events back to back. In most dual-POVs I’ve read, the perspectives don’t usually overlap like that. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just a matter of preference. While I love a fast read, I do wish this one had been a little longer and taken more time to build tension. The premise and writing are strong, so I would have been happy to spend much more time in this story. The romance itself was pretty straightforward with lots of tropes I love to read like fake relationship and CEO/rich love interest that was easy to read in one sitting. However, this is low spice read for any romance readers expecting otherwise. While the magical realism aspect was mostly a side plot in this story, I’m intrigued to see where the author takes it and hope it becomes expanded on in the future! </o:p></span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Excerpt</strong></p>
<i><br /><br />Brigid <br /><br />Abruptly, the ship diverted from its course, turning hard toward the rocky cliffs on the other side of it. Even in the water, there was a sickening crash and the sound of splitting wood as the nose of the ship rammed into the jagged peaks. We kept singing. <br /><br />The ship began to turn, its side now scraping along the rocks as well. Men, driven mad by our song, began jumping overboard as the ship started to take on water and dip lower beneath the waves. While still close to the shore, the water here wasn’t exactly shallow, and the ship would sink in its entirety. <br /><br />We circled, diving deep as bodies began tumbling in the water, the panic induced by our song preventing them from seeing reason and turning toward the cliffs for refuge. Sorcha looked over at me, her eyes wide as she processed the scene in front of her. She still seemed intimidated, yet interested. <br /><br />I motioned for her to follow me. As we swam up closer to the surface, gleeful that these men would feel our wrath, a body crashed into the water in front of me. A man, based on the broadness of his shoulders and the general bulk of his frame. His body twisted, his limbs flailing as he sank through the water. <br /><br />I stopped short, letting go of Sorcha, who continued swimming up toward the surface with the others. I swished my tail to hold myself steady as I stared at him. Instead of flailing, he was trying to steady himself. He righted his large, muscular body and finally turned in the water to face me. His eyes widened, but he didn’t seem afraid of me. <br /><br />Another man splashed into the water in between us, diverting my attention. This man, once the bubbles around his form dissipated, was terrified. His eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to scream, but only more bubbles came out. He furiously tried to kick to the surface, but Maira was faster. Swimming down between us from the surface, she lunged forward, grabbing his leg and pulling him down into the depths. He kicked, still releasing a stream of bubbles from his mouth as he flailed about furiously. <br /><br />With Maira gone into the depths, I turned my attention back to the man from before. He was closer to the surface now, almost close enough to breach it. Flicking my tail, I used my power to surge up, wrapping my talons around his ankle just as his head surfaced. <br /><br />I could not let him escape. This man seemed a powerful swimmer, and if I let him go, I had no doubt he would survive. And given how closely he had seen Maira and me, I couldn’t let that happen. In the moment, I was grateful Sorcha had continued to the surface and wouldn’t have to watch this. I wasn’t sure she’d have the stomach to witness this death up close. <br /><br />I yanked hard on his boot, pulling him back beneath the waves. Down, down, down we went before I released him. I wanted to see his face, this man who had not seemed afraid of us. Had he seen us before? <br /><br />Tilting my head to the side, I looked at the man more closely as he calmly treaded water, not trying to get back to the surface. His face was familiar to me…somehow. I swam slightly closer to him, whipping my tail in the water, impressed when he didn’t back away. We stared at each other for a moment longer before it clicked in my head. The bright green eyes staring back at me, the dark hair floating in the water, the chiseled and strong face. While he had aged some, I knew that face, those eyes. <br /><br />The boy from the ship. Caelum. <br /><br />My eyes widened, and my stomach twisted again, my heart in my throat. I never thought I would see him again after being thrown overboard. He had fought to try to save me, even knowing he would be punished by the captain for it. My mind was spinning, trying to process the man before me as I studied him. <br /><br />He was still oddly calm, keeping himself upright but never trying to go back toward the surface. He studied me back, his eyes roving over my body and stuttering on my tail before traveling back up to my face. He seemed resigned to his fate. His gaze was intense, and I wondered if he recognized me as well. I doubted it, as he had only seen me for a brief moment. But I had remembered him. <br /><br />His cheeks began to bulge, a sign he was running out of time under the water, and he finally cast a glance upwards to the surface before looking back to me. But still, he didn’t make a move. <br /><br />In an impulsive moment, I knew I couldn’t let my only savior, the only redemption to men, drown because of us. Because of me. Before I could stop myself and think about the betrayal my family would surely feel, I rushed toward him, grabbed him under the arms, and pulled his chest against mine as I propelled us toward the surface.

There are so many fun tropes explored in this story, from enemies to lovers, syrens and pirates, strong friendships, forced proximity, one bed, and an amazing adventure narrative. The author was not afraid to tackle dark subjects (please be mindful of CWs) and creative emotionally scarred characters. I haven't read many Syren stories before but this one had such an interesting take on them compared to what I have encountered. Caelum was not what I expected but in a good way! I really got attached to the characters and I can't wait to read more! After that ending, I NEED the sequel. Overall, this was an action-packed historical fantasy with the perfect amount of depth and spice. </div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">

Historical Fiction is one of my favorite genres, but this was unlike any I have ever encountered.<i> Jasmine Zumideh</i> takes place at the middle point of two decades, immersing the reader in a 1979, Southern California dream, full of glam music and feathered hair. In an act of desperation to be admitted to her dream school-- NYU-- she projects herself as Senior Class President Elect, even though the election hasn't taken place. But how could she lose against Gerald, who want a dress code and order? The win would be east, that is until Iranian students take American hostages in a protest causing a wave of xenophobic misunderstandings and a class election that turns into political destruction.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.546667098999023px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"> I learned a lot from this book and I can't think of a better time for it considering the current events in Iran and the media portrayal of the protestors there. My favorite thing about the story was how messy every single character was. They all had very realistic actions for teenagers trying to navigate the world, especially when your home starts attacking your identity when you are still trying to discover yourself. Jasmine definitely made some frustrating decisions but being able to see her inner turmoil and justification was great. While the reader may not agree with her choices you can understand how her circumstances made them. I am still mystified by the authors ability to pack so much into the just-over-300-pages given. The combination of being Iranian-American at that time, dealing with senior year responsibilities, coping with her parents separation, best friend drama, first-love, and so much more are discussed in this novel. A lot of moral implications are argued: what is right? do you choose what is right when it is harder than doing what is best for you? </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.546667098999023px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"> While romance was definitely not at the forefront of this story, I adored Mike and his role in the story. He was almost too perfect haha! It was interesting toes the different aspects of young relationships explored, from heartbreak and betrayal, to innocence and first kisses. Let me not forget to mention the best character: AUNTIE MINAH! She is the best I want to hug her. I also have to give some love to Jasmine's brother, Ali, for being the classic annoying little brother, but still being such an amazing character with stubborn passion and pride in his identity. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.546667098999023px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"> I loved learning so much about Persian culture, from traditions, amazing food, and most importantly, the history of Iranian people. As this is young adult, it made the education extremely digestible to an admittedly uneducated person (me). I highly recommend everyone to read this and I am so happy that people will be able to find representation here that is often not present in young adult literature. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.546667098999023px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: center;"><b><span lang="EN-GB">PLAYLIST</span></b></p> <iframe src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/5EqY3iDv2pBYcxylKkrapt" width="100%" height="380" frameBorder="0" allowtransparency="true" allow="encrypted-media"></iframe><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.546667098999023px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: center;"><b><span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.546667098999023px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><b><span lang="EN-GB">About the Author:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.546667098999023px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjTxFboIgzAEPTyZebmmNFBHlHt21fQ7QL3fUQKZ4ZhcIp_nYCVf6w792afaJWWiZClpynfdVOGFV27SHUetGrqewqC1T49xz3RAP-YFY1vN-Ov39o5ErRsN63WBy1Td7H2nzQfnVY6YaRQzCfnyTvlVefFecWGkh3wSgJp7nZelO3cfQc8_4UNyAtI" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="467" data-original-width="700" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjTxFboIgzAEPTyZebmmNFBHlHt21fQ7QL3fUQKZ4ZhcIp_nYCVf6w792afaJWWiZClpynfdVOGFV27SHUetGrqewqC1T49xz3RAP-YFY1vN-Ov39o5ErRsN63WBy1Td7H2nzQfnVY6YaRQzCfnyTvlVefFecWGkh3wSgJp7nZelO3cfQc8_4UNyAtI" width="320" /></a></div>After obtaining a Certificate in Screenwriting from UCLA in the early aughts, I was accepted to the Sundance Producers Conference and went on to write and direct the independent feature, <b>All You Need</b>, starring two-time Academy Award nominee, Shirley Knight, which played on the festival circuit. After several “it’s my breakthrough!/oh no, it’s not my breakthrough” moments, I began writing young adult fiction featuring Iranian American heroines (I *never* encountered growing up), who make messy, complicated choices that rapidly snowball into avalanches. <b>Jasmine Zumideh Needs a Win</b> is my young adult fiction debut. I was born in Nebraska, grew up in Los Angeles and lived in San Francisco for two years before spending the next fifteen in Sonoma County before moving to the Palm Springs/Palm Desert area with my husband, Wayne, and my Pug mix, Teddy.

First, Rachel Best, coffee shop owner and tea cup collector, and Owen Daye, an antique store owner taking over the family business as a single father. The pair are put in a rivalry of miscommunication when they compete at local community sales and antique fairs hunting for fine china for their own prospective reasons. It was easy to read and definitely festive! First, I really enjoyed the writing style and the authors vivid descriptions. It was fun to jump into the setting of Holiday Beach having never read the companion stories. It would be so fun to live at a beach where every holiday becomes such an event! I enjoyed the dynamic of the characters careers overlapping and I loved Owen's family relationships, with both his son and grandfather. I rarely see stories featuring a single dad role! Rachel was a fun main character too and I enjoyed learning about the origin of her love for tea cups. The enemies to lovers plot was definitely short-lived but the romance was still fun. The first story was definitely my favorite but I enjoyed the others too. I would love to see them all expanded further. This book reminded me a lot of the romances I have read in cozy mystery books like the Cape Bay Cafe Mystery series! I can definitely see myself coming back to read the other holiday books in this series to get into the spirit! Overall, this is a cozy holiday story with lots of heart and a sprinkling of romance! </div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: center;">★★★✶☆</h3><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgqbhOsX0w1eYgl7Ac2A0w8M0kEuWLC_XVQifBAVACLOudBMS6UN4kmlxKBqCAkebubVhfWABQqk0E66eysBprbwYHX5o1lwTvEWp4P_-TnV772Wv-q-zK3fISEF-lrVU3sCSKDu2XndnqOHqAkodHscSkivhXjYxhiEEGQvDe11ttXoaUoS9rjLo6C" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="300" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgqbhOsX0w1eYgl7Ac2A0w8M0kEuWLC_XVQifBAVACLOudBMS6UN4kmlxKBqCAkebubVhfWABQqk0E66eysBprbwYHX5o1lwTvEWp4P_-TnV772Wv-q-zK3fISEF-lrVU3sCSKDu2XndnqOHqAkodHscSkivhXjYxhiEEGQvDe11ttXoaUoS9rjLo6C" width="160" /></a></div><br /><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">About Elle Rush</span><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">:</span></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Elle Rush is a contemporary romance author from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
