One of my favorite days of the month is when @bookofthemonth choices go live! Every time I debate over what I want to choose and how many books I need. When April’s choices came out it was a no-brainer that I would be putting Miracle Creek in my box! • I stalked a bunch of early reviews for this book and now that it’s out in the wild so many people are raving about it! When @prose_and_palate and @jordys.book.club tell you it’s a must read, well you bump it up the TBR! I’ve got a few more book obligations for the month and then I’ll be picking this beauty up! • Q: Do you BOTM? What did you get for April? . . . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #alwaysreading #bookish #booksofinstagram #igreads #currentlyreading #mustreads #fortheloveofbooks #reading #booknerd #booksharks #crimefiction #readcrimefiction #bookpic #pageturner #bookaddict #bookofthemonth #botm #miraclecreek #coverlove #booksandnature

|Book Review| I expected more of a reaction the first time I hit her. • Oliver Ryan is a charming, charismatic, and successful children’s book author. He is married to devoted and demure, Alice, who illustrates Oliver’s books. They appear to have not only a picturesque marriage, but also a solid work partnership. Together they live an easy, wealthy life. That is until the night everything changes. Until the night Oliver hits Alice time and time again, leaving her in a coma. • As Alice battles between life and death after the incident, those who knew the couple best find themselves recollecting their interactions with the couple and forming conclusions about what could have driven Oliver to do this. Alternating narratives from the past and into the present, alongside Oliver unveiling his own truths, deliver the reader a story about a life filled with many dark secrets. Just how deep does Oliver’s manipulation run? • 🌟🌟🌟🌟/5 • Full review up on my blog!

Do you enjoy dystopian books? • I find them absolutely fascinating! When I first heard about The Last I knew it was one I had to pre-order. I mean it’s being marketed with quotes saying Stephen King meets Agatha Christie...that’s literally my dream combination! • I just hit the halfway point and I can’t stop reading! Life is definitely getting a bit in the way here...I would much rather be binging an apocalyptic murder mystery than working! . . . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #alwaysreading #bookish #booksofinstagram #igreads #currentlyreading #mustreads #fortheloveofbooks #reading #booknerd #booksharks #crimefiction #readcrimefiction #bookpic #pageturner #bookaddict #booksandcoffee #coffeeandbooks #coverlove #dystopian #murdermystery #atriabooks

#partner Thank you so much to @berkleypub for the free review copy! • |Book Review| Love makes a furnace of the soul. • Ailsa Calder has just inherited half of a house. The other half is owned by her father who disappeared without a trace twenty-seven years ago. The Manse is an eerie, old Scottish manor isolated on the outskirts of a small town. There is limited cell service and the nearest neighbor has a strange obsession with the home. Ailsa can’t rent the place or sell it. Does she want to live in it? Does The Manse want her to live there? • Relocating from bustling London to The Manse to take care of related estate issues, as well as mourn the loss of her mother, Ailsa can’t seem to find her footing. Not only is she out of her element in the Scottish Highlands, but she has also invited her half-sister, Carrie, to live with her. The two haven’t spoken in years and are essentially strangers. As bizarre things start to happen to Ailsa within The Manse she can’t help but wonder what she has signed up for. Is someone watching her? Why won’t the neighborhood animals come onto the grounds of the property? • 🌟🌟🌟🌟/5 • Full review up on my blog!

Thank you @booksparks & @shewritespress for this second stunning #blinddatewithabook! Happy publication day Gillyflower! • This tiny book sounds like its packing a punch and I’m excited to find out more! Check out the synopsis below! • Q: What’s the last short story you read? • Synopsis: Boston, 1984. Even in a world without cell phones, messages come through loud and clear if one is listening. When thirty-something Nora Forrest travels to Manhattan to see a Broadway play starring her idol, an aging Irish actor named Hugh Sheenan, she doesn't know whether what happens in the theater that night should be credited to witchcraft, extrasensory perception, synchronicity, or simple accident―and she knows that many people would tell her nothing had happened at all. Told through the voices of four people, Gillyflower is a story about intersections and connections―real, imaginary, seized, and eluded. It's a book about everyday magic, crystalline memory, and the details that flow through time and space like an electrified mist. It's a detective story, a love story, and a coming-of-age story―for the never really young and for the almost old. . . . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #alwaysreading #bookish #booksofinstagram #igreads #currentlyreading #mustreads #fortheloveofbooks #reading #booknerd #booksharks #bookpic #pageturner #bookaddict #coverlove #publicationday #swiperightonreading #booksparks #gillyflower #booksandflowers

#partner Thank you so much to @orendabooks for the free review copy! • |Book Review| Welcome to Palm, Beach Finland! Get ready to stay in a brightly colored cabana decorated with flamingos and palm trees on Finland’s “hottest beach”. This bizarre holiday village is attempting to become a prime traveler’s destination, but there’s just one small problem...a murder has occurred nearby. • Jan Nyman, an experienced undercover detective, has been placed on the case. Immediately after arriving he finds this seaside town is filled with interesting people and no shortage of suspects. Number one on the list is Olivia Koski, who recently returned back to town and is the owner of the home where the murder occurred. Was she also the target? Nyman is hellbent on finding the truth, but he’ll have to navigate a cast of characters who just walked out of the script of Fargo first! Greed, dreams of fame, and bumbling criminals will stop at nothing to get what they want unless Nyman can put a stop to them. • 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5 • Full review up on my blog!
