My favorite part about Ursipany, since I opened the door, is that it has allowed me to meet so many interesting people. Today I had a long conversation with Jonathan Fox-Hunter, whose grandfather was none other than the great Buck Leonard, one of the Top 50 best baseball players of all times. Jonathan actually wrote a book, "A Black Man's Poetic Odyssey". He felt compelled to publish his collection of verses after the brutal death of George Floyd in 2020. Whereas his words do express his outrage, his sorrow, his anger, they also express his optimism, his quest for peace, love, unity and beauty. At just fifty pages long, this little gem can be read in one sitting, but you might feel compelled to go back and read it again. I loved it.

💫 Book Review 💫 By Any Other Name by @samanthahastingsauthor 🌷 “What’s in a name?” This oft quoted Shakespeare line questions the importance of the name a person or place is given and asks us to answer with what we think. Though the quality of the something doesn’t actually change with its name, we humans have placed great importance on identity. I loved seeing this importance played out through a beautiful love journey. Peter and Jenny have loved each other for years but tragedies and family history have kept them from being together. And as more history comes to light they will have to decide if love conquers all or if love will be conquered by social and family conventions. So many good life lessons were included in this story and were reminders to me of how I should always treat others. And though I am not a big fan of poetry, I did enjoy the lovely ones that were included in the story. So if you love stories of love overcoming all obstacles and found family, besides everything I mentioned above, pick up your own copy of this book so you can enjoy it as I did. 🌷 Thank you to Samantha for the ARC of this marvelous story💗 ❓Do you like to read or write poetry?? #byanyothername #regencyromancebooks #friendstoloversromance #secondfamily #lovethatovercomes #WholesomeRomance #SamanthaHastings #SweetRomance #RecommendedRead #ProperRomance #CleanRomance #ClosedDoorRomance #Booklover #Regency #bookworm #tmagsbreview

And he does it again! Boyne is one of those writers whose work seems almost effortless- though I’m sure that’s not actually the case! ‘Earth’ is the second of his ‘series’ that started with ‘Water’ - which I loved. While it follows a character who was introduced in the first book, this certainly stands on its own as a story. Very easy to read despite its troubling subject matter, the plot may be predictable but where it shines is as a character study. I didn’t quite like it as much as ‘Water’, but still a very engaging read. I can’t wait for his next one -‘Fire’. 4.5 ⭐️ #johnboyne #bookstagram #earth #recommendedread

What's your most recent book purchase? 📚 I haven't had much time to read recently as I'm finally in my last semester at university after my internship. But there are so many books I'm exciting to read including The Serpent & the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent. What do you think of this book? 📖
I’m very impressed by this debut which, halfway through, hasn’t put a foot wrong if you ask me. A literary novel with themes of colonialism, the question of who is allowed to write history, a complicated love story, a light touch of speculative fiction, a few great characters and some *wonderful* writing. Unless the book takes a very weird turn, this is going to be a five star read and maybe even one of my top reads this year. I just love the author’s style and tone, spot on. All this to say, I highly recommend this one and if you can get hold of a copy, do! 👌 📚 What was the latest book you felt like recommending to all your friends? #recommendedread #greatbook #debutnovel #sharleneallsopp #thegreatundoing #literaryfiction #readthisbook

After reading ESCAPE TO PARADISE AND BEYOND with an open mind, you will have faith that the Lord is the cause of all causes and all that is. You will be aware that He exists within the heart of every living entity and, as witness and sanctioner, directs their wanderings.

HOT EARL SUMMER by Erica Ridley Publication day: 8/6/24 Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review: Erica Ridley provides another one-of-a-kind quirky Regency Romance with unforgettable characters in a unique setting. This is book 5 in The Wild Wynchester series, you don't have to read them in order but this family is very loveable so you might want to. Elizabeth Wynchester is over thirty and suffers from a disability that causes chronic pain. Desperate not to show any weakness, Elizabeth wields swords at the slightest provocation. Especially for the cause of justice and orphans and castle that's supposed to become an orphanage. Stephen Lenox is shy, anxious man who just wants to be left alone with his tinkering inventions. Elizabeth literally breaks down his doors (and personal walls) with her battleaxes and her berserker personality. Together they fight for justice, family, and even love. This is definitely a case of opposites attracting! Spicy and surprising, this book reinvents the Regency Romance genre. #HotEarlSummer #Forever #EricaRidley #RegencyRomance #BookReview #RecommendedRead #ReadForeverPub #Regency #SpicyRomance #AnxietyRep #DisabilityRep

Finer details bit: Shirt @dancing_leopard (old) 💚 Necklace and ring @linesandcurrent (giveaway win - thank you!) 💚 Silver charm @monicavinader (current/pg) 🥈 Book bit: Molly Gray is a maid at a boutique luxury hotel who takes pride in her work when, one day, she discovers a body in Suite 401. Molly knows so much about everybody, yet no one sees her. She watches, she learns and she knows when to keep quiet. The deceased is a rich VIP and not a very popular one. So ... was it murder? Molly is a one-off and a super character. The book follows her week following the death when we see how friends aren't all that they seem and life isn't always plain sailing, however much you try and keep it that way! Love, loved this book which I zoomed through in a matter of days. One of my favourite reads of the year so far! Highly recommended!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ monthly memoir. Chock full of hard-won wisdom, this memoir is an absolute must-read. After surviving cancer in her early twenties, Suleika embarks on a healing journey that is brave and powerful. “There is no restitution for people like us. No return to days when our bodies were unscathed, our innocence intact. Recovery isn’t a gentle self-care spree that restores you to a pre-illness state. Though the word may tell you otherwise, recovery is not about salvaging the old at all. It’s about accepting that you must forsake a familiar self forever in favor of one that is being newly born. It is an act of brute, terrifying discovery.” Suleika’s story marked me, and I am the better for it. 📖: found in a @littlefreelibrary #mayreads #monthlymemoir #everystorymatters #storieschangeus #readersareleaders #booklove #recommendedread #booksbooksbooks #readmorebooks #readreadread #readwithshell

Time is running out as the planted evidence builds a strong case against Joe but will he be able to prove it wasn’t him before the police get to him? . This is my favourite book I’ve ever read! I was hooked from start to finish which NEVER happens! The twist at the end was completely unexpected and I was so sad it was over. Some characters were slightly unlikeable (purposely done for the storyline) and others you really hoped got what they deserved. It was very cleverly written. I ended up buying the authors other books minutes after finishing this because I loved it so much! . . . . . . #book #bookreview #bookreviewer #reviewer #5star #5starreview #bookstagrams #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #reading #recentread #lies #tmlogan #author #recommend #recommendedread
🖤BOOK REVIEW🖤 HUNTER by the fabulous @taylorkscott.author Available 24th May BLURB To love is to embrace all that we are, even the scars of our past… Louisa I found love at six years old with the boy who finally got me to speak. I gave him everything I could, loving him to the point of breaking myself; loving him even when I knew I shouldn’t. Tragedy struck and instead of being there for me, he hurt me to the point of pushing me back inside of my shell. That is until I became fake engaged to an up-and-coming movie star who needed reining in. A second chance presented itself; a chance to live again. The question is, how will I escape the boy who still believes I belong to him? Daniel Louisa Flynn is an enigma. Brilliant at her job, always polite, but even after two years of working for me, I don’t know anything about her. But we all have our secrets, including me, so who am I to question her? That is until I offer her a special task of being a fake fiancée to one of my clients. Accepting my proposition reveals another side to Louisa, a side I cannot help but want to unpick and keep for myself. The question is, will her secrets prove to be a little too deadly for me? And if so, will I be able to give her up? #bookaholic #bookblogger #bookboyfriends #romance #love #bookcommunity #review #5starread #recommendedread #book #reading #must-read #arc #supportingauthorsandwriters #bookreview #bookclub #Bookset #hotmen
#bookreview The Secret Diaries of Charles Ignatius Sancho was a real eye opener of a novel. I listened to the audiobook, read so well by the author, Paterson Joseph. This is the true story of Charles Ignatius Sancho, fictionalised somewhat, but only so that the modern day reader can begin to grasp what living in London as a black ex-slave in the mid-1700’s would have been like. And whilst Sancho may have had a more privileged life than most, it wasn’t his own life to live until he ran away from his first owners - sisters who used him as their entertainment. Charles has a fear of the slave catcher, and rightly so, as they could kidnap any black person and sell them into slavery - whether they had escaped or been freed. These men were a constant threat. Charles though, catches the eye of a duke who helps him to become educated, and he even works for the King for a while. He ends his life as a business owner and the first black person to vote in Britain. All of this from a life begun on a slave ship. I don’t think it really matters how much of this book was fictionalised - we can never exactly know what went on in his head, but we can have a fair guess - and I like to think that Paterson Joseph has really caught the essence of the real Charles Ignatius Sancho. I liked Charles very much, and the love he shows for his son through the letters included in the novel are so touching. I’d recommend this book, it’s a great read (or listen - I can definitely vouch for that!). #bookstagram #booklove #bookaddict #instareads #bookishlove #bookworm #igbooks #bookaholic #bibliophile #lovebooks #booksbooksbooks #clares_little_book_obsession #fivestarread #recommendedread #thesecretdiariesofcharlesignatiussancho #patersonjoseph #historicalfiction
The Morningside by Téa Obhret. Thanks to @netgalley for a digital ARC of this one. 🏨🐾🐾 . . . Obreht's debut novel The Tiger's Wife is one of my all-time favourites, so I was thrilled to get to read her third book. The Morningside is a curious take on a near-future post-apocalyptic world following some kind of ecological collapse, where 11 year old Silvia lives with her mother in a crumbling luxury tower. Her mother is secretive about their past and their ancestral homeland, and Silvia becomes fascinated by a mysterious older woman residing in the tower who only leaves at night to walk her three enormous dogs and attempts to investigate. This is a coming of age story about reconciling two worlds: the fantasy world of folktales and magical realism and the real world with very real dangers and conflicts. . . . #teaobreht #themorningside #recommendedread #reading #2024reads #bookreview #bookstagram
Recommended book! This book has lots of uses - I find it particularly helpful for dealing with separation anxiety. "An Invisible String made of love. Even though you can't see it with your eyes, you can feel it deep in your know that you are always connected to the ones you love." #readingtime #recommendedread #pshe #teaching #teachergram #teachersofinstagramuk #eyfsinspiration #eyfsteacher #eyfs #ks1 #ks2 #booksforchildren #childrensmentalhealth #mentalhealth #earlyyearseducation #earlyyears #ks1teachers #teachingresources #teachingideas #year1 #ect #year2 #year3 #teachingideas

I know Lucy Caldwell’s newest collection of short stories came out last week, but I only discovered ‘Intimacies’ (2021) a few weeks ago and it is just superb. The eleven stories feature young women (often mothers) struggling to make sense of their lives and the realities of what it means to love, to lose, to fear losing, and to fear loving. ‘All The People Were Mean and Bad’ won the BBC short story prize and is the stand-out for me, but all eleven are simply perfect. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookish #author #authorsofinstagram #novelist #bookshelf #recommendedread #readinglist #booklover #booksilove #goodbooks #bestreads #booklover #bookaholic #lovereading #currentlyreading #readersofinstagram #bookreview
Road Kill: Texas Horror by Texas Writers Vol.8 I've been to Texas. What an experience! I started my trip by witnessing a Lonely Death on a Wednesday, 1pm, at a Motel Outside Marfa. A deeply unsettling experience with a young boy left flailing for life in a pool. This event stayed with me while I encountered 18 horrors culminating in a vampire tale. Dracula may be long gone but someone that knew him & his chronicler Stoker, appears to be alive & well & pretty fresh looking for someone over a century old. I couldn't avoid the horror. I was minding my own business when Joe R Lansdale told me a story about the Night They Missed the Horror Show. A story of rampant racism leading to gruesome murder & carnage. I had to get out. Clear my head. A pleasant trip into the desert with E.R. Bills. Nature Calls is a highlight. But it wasn't calming. There are mutated creatures in the desert. A sci-fi/horror/B Movie mashup where the future & the present collide & the irresponsible dumping of nuclear waste is leading to more than a climate emergency. With my mind blown I left E.R. Bills to it and hightailed it back to civilisation passing the Running Man on route. I'm glad I didn't stop for him as Jacob Austin told me about what happened with him. It ain't pretty. Let's just say there's a trail of bodies in a way that I've never heard about before. My mind's frazzled. I can't tell you about everything that happened. A nice trip to a funfair seems to have a romantic ending for a young couple but I have a feeling it's not going to end well. I nearly got involved in a hold up in a bank. I thought I saw the gun but the pretty young bank teller appeared to talk him out of it. I heard them arrange a coffee date. Looked innocent enough but the reports I heard later will turn your blood to ice. I tried relaxing but met Iphigenia Strangeworth who told me about Baby Doll. I can hardly believe my ears. A tale of a horrifically messed up family. Incest, abuse, death. And I haven't even told you about the Fallen Angel! Every horror you can and can't imagine! ✨✨✨✨4 stars Thank you @henryroi.pr @tide.phoenix.coffee for the eARC for the #booktour
If you’re looking for a series of short and sweet MM romances with a good dash of adorkable heat this is the one for you. I just love the way Shae writes her characters internal monologues. I’m well behind on this series, as just realised book 5 is out TODAY, but in my defence, I’ve reread book 1 (Finn’s Fake Boyfriend) half a dozen times at least. QOTD: Do you prefer books that are standalones, (sequential) series or interconnected standalone series? 🧸🏒🧸🏒🧸 always reading - bookworm - bookstagram - books - reader - currently reading #bookishquotes #queerromance #mmromance #bookaddict #recommendedread
