“You have a goat….in your RV…” Rhonda asked, still staring at Bill, who stared back at her. “Yup….and a Raven, his name is Edgar, but he’s shy. Oh, and there’s a Ferret. His name is Ferris, somewhere in here, and an Iguana named Iggy. He’s mean, though. You don’t want your fingers anywhere near Iggy,” Lucy said, staring at the road. Rhonda rolled her eyes. She thought back to last week when she went to her support group and hid her smoking from William. Now she was in an RV full of animals with a lady who just helped set fire to a bar and impersonated an officer, forged all the passports and DMV documents somehow, all while watching her sick husband on a motorcycle with two strangers going into Mexico. Yet, as crazy as it sounded, this was the best she had felt in years. She began laughing out loud. Read BILLY SIX GUN and find out what choice did William make that altered his life.

This book is raw, intense, and unapologetically dark. The characters are deeply flawed yet incredibly real, and their relationship is a twisted, passionate ride that will leave you breathless. 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝗶𝗱 is the third book in 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱 series! If you haven't already read it, start the dark journey today. 🖤 𝗔 𝗗𝗔𝗥𝗞 𝗠𝗔𝗙𝗜𝗔 𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘆 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲, 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀. In my line of business, every day dawns with the smell of death in the air. But it’s not a bullet that’s going to slay me. It’s Sabella, the woman who was promised to me, the woman who betrayed me. I hate and want her in equal measure, an agonizing situation of my own making. We’re heading down a path of destruction, but there’s no turning back. At the first chance she gets, she’ll stab me in the back again. She’s a dangerous risk and a threat to my family. If I were wise, I’d eliminate that risk and leave her funeral to the sharks. I must be an idiot, because I’m going to finish what I started, no matter the cost. 𝙉𝙤𝙩𝙚: 𝙏𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙇𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝘼𝙘𝙞𝙙 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝟥𝘳𝘥 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘾𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝘾𝙧𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙇𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨.

“Goodnight Beautiful” by Aimee Molloy Synopsis: “Newlyweds Sam Statler and Annie Potter are head over heels, and excited to say good-bye to New York City and start a life together in Sam’s sleepy hometown upstate. Or, it turns out, a life where Annie spends most of her time alone while Sam, her therapist husband, works long hours in his downstairs office, tending to the egos of his (mostly female) clientele. Little does Sam know that through a vent in his ceiling, every word of his sessions can be heard from the room upstairs. The pharmacist’s wife, contemplating a divorce. The university department chairman, battling depression. Everything is fine until the French girl in the green mini Cooper shows up, and Sam decides to go to work and not come home, throwing a wrench into Sam and Annie’s happily ever after.” Review: The plot twists weaved throughout this book absolutely blew my mind! This author’s writing style, with the massive switch-up/plot twist in the middle of the book, as well as keeping the readers guessing was amazing!! The one criticism I have is that the story dragged on at times, and it seemed like after the plot twists, the story kind of got boring and the ending was anti-climactic. Other than that, this was a fun thriller to read! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Heute hab ich endlich mal Lust und Muse die Rezension von Bride zu posten. Gelesen hab ich das Buch schon im Februar🙈 Bride ist übrigens Ali Hazelwoods erster Romantasy Roman. . Anfangs hatte ich etwas Angst das Buch anzufangen! Kurz vorher hatte ich ein anderes Buch der Autorin abgebrochen und hatte einige bedenken… Aber „Bride: Die unergründliche Übernatürlichkeit der Liebe“, war echt grandios. . Die Geschichte rund um Misery, der Vampirin die nirgendwo so richtig reinpasst, weder bei ihrem eigenen Volk, noch bei den Menschen und schon gar nicht bei den Werwölfen, war wirklich ausgewogen! Die Story war witzig, hatte Charme, gute Nebencharaktere, ein bisschen Crime und der Loveinterest Lowe war, obwohl er zeitweise doch etwas „overprotective“ war auch ein Träumchen! Noch dazu war die Sache mit den Vamipren, Werwölfen und Menschen nicht das Übliche „ausgelutsche“ was man so kennt; es gab physiologische und kulturelle Unterschiede zwischen allen drei „Parteien“, die für reichlich Konflikte gesorgt haben. Hinzukamen Konflikte in den eigenen Reihen, die der Vampire und Werwölfe standen dabei im Vordergrund. Der berühmt-berüchtigte Knoten und dieser physiologische Unterschied zwischen Vamps und Weres, hätte für meinen Teil nicht sein müssen oder war zum Schluss mit dem Spice einfach „too much“. Ja, die Chemie zwischen Misery und Lowe hat gestimmt aber puh, come oooon… Das war mir zu viel Anlehnung ans Manga Omegaverse oder generell der Biologie von realen Wölfen.😅 . Hazelwoods Schreibstil war wie immer locker leicht uns ich bin nur so durch die Seiten geflogen. Mir waren zwei Spiceszenen zu viel, weswegen ich diese dann auch nur noch überflogen habe. . Ansonsten kann ich sagen es war ein unterhaltsames Buch und wie gesagt mal was „Neues“ bei dem Vamps und Weres. Selbst der „miscommunication“-Trope, den Hazelwood so sehr liebt und gern mal bis zum geht nicht mehr ausschlachtet, hat diesmal Sinn gemacht wegen der kulturellen Unterschiede und war gut in die Story integriert. Dicke Empfehlung also von mir und ich würde nicht nein sagen zu einer Fortsetzung, die im gleichen Universum angesiedelt ist und einige der Nebencharaktere in den Vordergrund rückt.😎😉

🚂 I love a book about psychopaths. Thanks to @berkleypub and @jesseqsutanto for my copy of this book. It’s about Jane, a girl who has always been unhappy. First it was when she was younger, trying to fit in with her peers as a psychopath. She was quick to anger, easily overwhelmed, and found it very hard to make friends. Now as an adult, she is a struggling author trapped in a marriage in a life she doesn’t want. There has only been one person who has ever made her happy, and that’s Thalia, her best friend from her master’s program at Oxford. Those were the best years of Jane’s life, until one night ruined it all and Thalia disappeared. But now she’s back at the opt of the New York Times best sellers list, and Jane thinks she wrote about their friendship. She decides to go to New York and find out where Thalia has been all this time, and make sure she doesn’t lose her again. Thoughts: I loved this book! I loved the setting of Oxford and the descriptions of the graduate program. I loved that Thalia and Jane were both writers and the setting of the New York crime writer’s convention. I loved the theme of psychopathy and the different perspectives in this book. I’m so glad I listened to it, because the narrator did an amazing job and made the book fly by so fast. The author did a great job of moving from cozy mysteries to this great psychological thriller. There were slow parts to this book that got a bit bogged down, but I’m happy it picked back up again. There were also a few too many unbelievable or convenient aspects in this story, and the ending wasn’t really my favorite. I felt the reveal was obvious, but still enjoyed the journey and the two main characters a lot. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 stars! 🚂 Did you leave home for school? #adultfiction #readcrimefiction #thrillerbooksaddict #thrillernovel #suspensebooks#crimefiction #crimebooks#nextread #tbr #wmtastemakers #bibliolifestyle #mostanticipatedbooks #imnotdonewithyouyet #prhaudio #berkleypublishing

I must be on some [publishing] wavelength that I’m not aware of... For weeks—months!—I have been telling writers [that want to follow a traditional pub path] it’s rough out there. REALLY ROUGH. & just like the expression “at first you don’t succeed, try. try again,” you need to keep writing. In this thriller & horror writers group I’m in, someone questioned how #friedamcfadden could publish books so fast, so consistently... Another person gave a rather surprising answer—a lot of her books were already written. She wrote, got rejected, wrote, got rejected, wrote, got rejected [she did do some independently pubbed books] but then got her big break—& had a huge backlist of books to sell. [I can’t confirm this info, but it makes sense...] Also, the queen of publishing herself, Jane Friedman, started her newsletter on Saturday with: “The best quality books are not the ones that typically sell. The most talented writers are not always well known. The worthiest information rarely spreads the farthest. Or: The cream does not necessarily rise to the top.” Which is something I had been telling writers I work with—even some really excellent books are being passed on, books that would normally be picked up, are not. So what to do? Write more. (Or as Jane Friedman quoted Samuel Beckett, “Fail better.”) I’m a big believer in the idea that practice makes perfect. (In fact, that’s kinda my philosophy when it comes to #writingcoaching.) Let me help you put your best book forward! If you need help— #writingadvice, a professional set of eyes, someone to #brainstorm with, discuss your #writingideas, talk #characters or #plot or #plotholes & #plottwists—I’m here to help.

Set the Stars Alight ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In Set the Stars Alight, Amanda Dykes tells an intricate dual timeline story with some of the most elegant writing I have seen in a while. Every word is so well-appointed, and the narration of the audiobook is lovely! Layer upon layer of stories weave together perfectly, with elements of faith and themes of bravery, sacrifice, discovery, and love. Usually in dual timeline books I like the historical timeline more, but even though I enjoyed both timelines of this one, I fell in love with the modern characters and loved their story, particularly the scientific elements and their quest. While romance is not my preferred genre, if you love sweet, clean romances you will love this book! Dykes has such a beautiful and lyrical way with words, so I will definitely read more from her. If you have a favorite from this author, let me know in the comments which one I should read next! 📖 Adult Christian fiction with content appropriate for teens and up. No language. Clean romance (one chaste kiss). #setthestarsalight #cleanfictionreads #adultfiction #christianfiction #dualtimeline

Book review: "The Therapist" by S.A. Falk ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was such a good fast paced read! I enjoyed all of it, and even though everyone says they didnt see the twist coming, I did, I just hoped that wouldnt be it. The writing style is easy to follow, and I was locked in, and got through it so fast. The story was fascinating, well written, and it got the best out of me. I still recommend it to anyone who likes the darker side of things, and be warned of gore. Warning: possible spoilers ahead I felt like the twist was too obvious, and kinda lazy. I was hoping for some smarter, better thought out twist, up until the very last page. The book kept me wondering about everyone, and I kept trying to find connections, and waiting for a very smart gut wrenching twist, and then.. well... thats why it didnt get 5 stars from me. .

🌻Book Review🌻 Although this is the third book of the trilogy consisting of the real-life Ferriday-Woolsey family, you can easily read any of the books in any order. The story of this book takes place during the Civil War, and it is about the strong and determined women of the Woolsey family, as told from the viewpoint of Georgeanne. Their family helps in bringing relief as nurses and such to all who are suffering, most importantly, no matter their color or which side of the war they're on. The story also follows Jemma, a sixteen-year-old who is enslaved with the rest of her family on a plantation in Maryland. The first half of the book is on the slow side as you get to know the characters more. However, it eventually picks up pace as these characters cross paths. As far as the historical aspects of the book, there was a lot of information, which I both enjoyed but also felt like it sometimes slowed down parts too. Both the story and the real-life period of time were brutal and heartbreaking, as people were kept as slaves and the country was at odds with one another as families, neighbors, and friends were literally fighting one another. The one thing this story does is highlight not only all of that, but something I know really nothing about: the courageous women who stepped up to work as nurses and fought to change the course of the future for women to come vs. simply the day-to-day tasks of having babies, cooking, cleaning, etc. with little to no education. Overall, this is a well written and researched book that has strong female characters, tension, drama, suspense and a mix of romance too. 4⭐ QTD: What is your favorite flower? #sunflowersisters #marthahallkelly #bookreview #ballantinebooks #myownopinion #historicalfiction #civilwarfiction #booksofinstragram #readersofinsta #bookishladiesread #anovel #bookpic #adultfiction #americanhistory

*Review has spoilers for Ninth House* The sequel to Ninth House, Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo once again Galaxy "Alex" Stern as navigates the secret societies Yale University, which all haveties to the occult. Following the events from Ninth House, Darlington is still very much trapped in Hell, and Alex is grappling with her guilt for not saving him in the first place. It doesn't help that the Lethe House committee have declared Darlington dead, and refuse to help her find a way to free him. With the help of Dawes, Turner, Tripp Helmuth, and Mercy, Alex sets out to find a portal to Hell on the Yale campus to bring Darlington back. But the question remains on whether or not he'll be the same? Meanwhile, more mysterious murders occur, this time targeting Yale professors, and with signs of the occult at the scenes of the crime, there's a chance the societies are involved. Overall, I enjoyed the novel. I generally prefer epic fantasy to urban, but Bardugo is such a talented writer with an eye for detail that it's hard not to get lost in her writing. I enjoyed the tidbits about Yales' history, which helped ground the story in reality. The murder mystery aspect of this novel sort of took a back burner, with the focus primarily being on rescuing Darlington. I wish there had been a bit more time dedicated here, as the murders were one of the subplots of the first novel I enjoyed most. If you're going to read either Ninth House or Hell Bent, I'd highly recommend looking up the trigger warnings as both these novels touch on some heavy topics, including r*pe, SA, animal cruelty, etc. #hellbentleighbardugo #hellbent #darkacademia #darkacademiabooks #occult #ghosts #demons #universitysetting #yale #yaleuniversity #urbanfantasy #urbanfantasybooks #adultfiction

I have to say just love multiple audio voices. 💋 1) Scream for Us is a great short Halloween smut story. 2) Hawke is a friends to lovers hot and steamy bad boy story 3) reverse harem anyone? Add some end of the world and you get a really good time.

🕵️‍♂️ BOOK TOUR REVIEW 🕵️‍♂️ Thank you to @mattbrollyuk , @netgalley and @zooloosbooktours for the e-ARC of this book. The Alliance by Matt Brolly PAGES: 309 GENRE: Thriller REVIEW Blurb in slide 2 ... "Thrive to survive and use your skills!" Four cities, four killers, four murders. God I love this plot! This book is so good. It kept me on the edge of my seat with every chapter. Took me two days to finish, and that's only because I had to deal with school activities. It was fast-paced and written very uniquely. The path leading to the ending was quite surprising. We also get an insight into the minds of the survivors. I was particularly interested in Icarus's story, and my oh my, what a surprise we got about his past! I think this book would make a good movie adaptation when done right. RATING: 5 ⭐ QOTD: What's a great plot you've read that's imprinted on your mind? "I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author and Zooloo's Book Tours in exchange for a read and review. All opinions are my own." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #thealliance #thomasandmercer #mattbrolly #netgalley #zooloosbooktours #thrillerreads #mysteryrecommendations #booktour #booktourreview #arcreview #psychologicalthriller #fivestarread #adultfiction #mysteryandthriller #inkbound_dreamer

28.4.24 — when among crows review PR | #giftedbook by @titanbooks having gone into this book blind beside knowing it was fantasy, i had expected it to be similar to alix e. harrow’s the six deaths of the saint but it was an urban fantasy set in chicago and i ended up loving the mix of slavic folklore with modern history. it really helped flesh all the characters out even more, both main and background characters alike. i felt it also helped humanise the monsters we met on dymitr’s journey which i found to be such a smart choice knowing what his intentions were by the last few pages of the book. it’s such a subtle writing choice, which could have been a coincidence, but even if it was or wasn’t, it still made me appreciate the emotional story arc even more. reading this book made me feel as though i had opened a modern fairy tale but written just like one you would read in the brothers grimm anothology or other stories similar to those. it was dark and gritty but also hopeful and really emphasised the importance of community and family despite your background. of having a common cause. the only reason i took so long to read such a short novel was because of the fact that i was slowly falling into a reading slump right before i picked it up. however, that didn’t take away any enjoyment from reading it and i know i’ll definitely be rereading it. it had a found family aspect to it that i hadn’t expected and ended up loving, along with a sort of road trip trope as well. honestly, this book could’ve been a full length stand-alone novel and i would’ve loved it even more. in fact, i wish it had been, or at least a little longer, so that it could’ve developed the romance a lot more because i feel like it was a tad bit rushed even though it was still in the very early stage by the end of the book. still, i did like the addition, it’s not as though i wish it hadn’t been included at all. simply that it would’ve hit better had we had more time with them exploring that type of relationship/bond. — out may 14th

𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐬🔪🖤 ⭑ ⭑ ⭑ ⭑ Este libro ha sido todo lo que necesitaba en el momento indicado❤️‍🩹 Se trata de un enemies to lovers con forced proximity y found family que esta lleno de traiciones y plot twist que te dejarán deseando seguir y seguir hasta acabarlo y, aun así, cuando llegues a esa página 505, necesitarás seguir con el segundo. Jase Ballenger ha conseguido lo que muchos personajes masculinos no han podido durante meses: enamorarme hasta de las letras de su nombre. De hecho, creo que Jase como protagonista es la razón por la que he disfrutado tantísimo esta lectura. No le he puesto cinco estrellas porque había una trama secundaria a resolver que apenas se ha explicado (o a mi no me ha quedado muy claro) y eso ha sido lo único que me ha impedido ponerle cinco estrellas. Si lo que buscas es una fantasía ligera repleta de traiciones, un enemies to lovers to enemies que te dejará en vela durante páginas y un personaje masculino que se hará un hueco a la fuerza en tu corazón, Dance of Thieves es 100% para ti🖤 ¿Cuál es el último libro que te obsesionó?🫣 🏷️ #bookstagram #bookish #booklove #october #books #reader #romance #contemporary #bookishpost #bookblogger #library #recomendación #recommendation #bookrecommendation #adultfiction #mybookfeatures #fantasy #booktag #danceofthieves #vowofthieves #maryepearson #enemiestolovers #forcedproximity #plottwist

Finished this amazing duology! The Elm chapters definitely helped me get through the second book, because I really was not absorbing the Elspeth chapters. I’ll definitely need to reread one day to fully understand. But overall I absolutely loved this very original story that had me reading something I’d never read before in a fantasy book. The themes had me stressed because I just couldn’t predict where things were going! #bookstagram #bookblogger #readingaesthetic #readersofinstagram #bookstagrammer #book #bookish #booklover #read #readingtime #bookstagram #readersgonnaread #books #reading #bookreview #blogger #blog #bookworm #adultfiction #yabooks #publishing #booksofhcc #bookishcanadian #fantasy #romantasy

#THEFLATSHARE 💛 It has been on my #tbr list for a while. However, after scrolling past it enough times on @paramountplusuk, I simply couldn't resist watching it any longer. I planned on reading the book by @betholearyauthor prior to watching, but... @jessierbrownfindlay 🥹😍 Any who, not only is it lighthearted & beautifully complex, it really touched down on some very serious matters too & has helped me reflect on some of my own past experiences with "love" & relationships; especially the relationship that I house with myself. ✨️ The Flatshare's a completely wholesome watch & I now can't wait to delve into the book! 🍭 #bookstagram #books #booklover #bookworm #bookstagrammer #reading #bookish #bookaddict #booknerd #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #booklove #bookcommunity #instabooks #booklovers #bookcore #reader #igreads #bookrecommendations #fiction #fictionnovel #adultfiction #adultfictionbooks #betholeary #betholearyauthor

lazy sunday mornings are perfect for reading 💌 I just finished Expiration Dates by Rebecca Serle and she sure knows how to throw some curve balls! Every time Daphne meets a man, the universe sends her a note with his name & set length of time - an expiration date. But what happens when there is no expiration date and the note simply has a name? Jake. I genuinely enjoyed this book! I loved experiencing Daphne’s relationships, the excitement of new beginnings and the heart breaks (or not) at the ending. It’s not until more than halfway through the book that we get a bit more info on Daphne, which ties in with the expiration note situation…Because how can one truly live if they’re always waiting for the end to come? If you enjoy a dash of magical realism in your books, this one is for you 🤍 #expirationdates #rebeccaserle #sunday #sundaymorning #indigo #indigobooks #romance #magicalrealism #fiction #adultfiction #fantasy #fantasybookrecommendations #fantasybooks

There are so many books I am excited to read but the ones that I am looking forward to reading the most are Where the Dark Stands Still by A.B.Poranek The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross Where the Dark Stands Still premise sounds interesting, The Familiar is written by Leigh Bardugo and I love her writing style & Ruthless Vows is again written by Rebecca Ross whose work I enjoy reading!

A second Song of the Cicadas blurb post two Sundays in a row? That's right! Can you really blame me, though? This review from another of my femme fatal writer squad, the incredibly talented and super sweet @ashleywslaughter , still makes me grin from ear to ear every time I read it. (Which has been at least several dozen times if I'm being honest lol.) Ashley - thank you a million, zillion times for these lovely words!! I'm so beyond glad you got a chance to read an arc through @rrbooktours 🖤 . . . . . . . . #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #authorssupportingauthors #review #newbook #songofthecicadas #adultfiction #fantasy #mystery #poeretelling #thetelltaleheart #cottagecore #sundaysnippet #witchyreads #witchyvibes #ghosts #celtic

Currently Reading: Until the Last Page by Chantal Gadoury. Happy to say this is my very first ARC read, and with it being a book I was already excited about, imagine how thrilled 😍 I was when the author reached out to me to read an ARC. I’ve never said yes 🙌🏼 faster. 25-year-old Josephine Hart has returned to her hometown after her engagement ends. And then she literally crash lands into a book of fairytales 📖, nearly crushing a frog 🐸 but prince-in-disguise 🤴🏼. Desperate to find her way home, Jo agrees to help the frog break his curse by finding him his true love 💕 . But as they travel together, they grow closer, face fairytales familiar to Jo, and have to face unexpected enemies 👀 Until the Last Page releases August 6, 2024, so if you’re a lover of Romantasy and fairytales like I am, definitely keep an eye out! 💞💞 #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #arc #arcreader #arcread #fairytale #fairytaleretelling #romantasy #fantasy #romance #amreading #book #adultfiction #fictionbooks #springreads #untilthelastpage #chantalgadoury #fiction #ebook #booksofinstagram #booksofig #2024debut #debutauthor

♣️Book Review♣️ This is a very touching story about the main character, Fenna, who grows up learning all she can about the world of magic. Houdini in particular is a serious muse for her, and so she seeks to become as great of an illusionist as he was. However, her life eventually takes her on a journey and path she never would have imagined and the world at large with World War II, all while facing things from her past. When it comes to the writing, it took me a couple of chapters to get into this, but once I did, it was more or less a page turner. This was a well-developed, multiple time-line narrative about loss, courage, war, and the military at the time. The part about magic and illusionists I found interesting, along with the elements of romance mixed throughout too. Overall, I thought this was a well-written and engaging book, and I also enjoyed reading McMorris's notes in the end about more of the history and inspiration for this novel. This is also a signed copy that I received when it first published that I had pre-ordered and that sits with every other book by the author published so far that I have read. 4⭐ QTD: Do you have anything exciting planned for the weekend? #thewayswehide #kristinamcmorris #bookreview #sourcebookslandmark #historicalfiction #booksofinstragram #readersofinsta #myownopinion #bookpic #bookishladiesread #adultfiction #anovel #signedcopy

Thank you to Syrian American journalist and kidlit author, @rhondaroumani, for compiling this list of 18 Adult Books for Arab American Heritage Month! The following is in Rhonda’s own words: “Compiling a list of Arab authors isn’t easy because of the richness of experiences and voices out there. So I’ve included 18 titles here. Not all the authors are Arab American, but the authors are important to the narrative of all Arabs in the diaspora. The works range from a highly socio-political graphic novel set in Cairo, to a dystopian novel about a second American civil war to Palestinian Muslim, Christian and Jewish voices, to works of fantasy. Many important authors are not included in this list—there is just not enough room and I’ve decided to shine a light on more recent releases. If anyone is to read Arabic literature, one would also have to include works by Edward Said, Naguib Mahfouz, Mahmoud Darwish, Elias Khoury and so many others. As an aside, Safia Elhillo has said she does not identify as Arab, but rather as Black Sudanese. But her focus on the Arabic language and the story of Sudan make her work important for Arab authors—so I have included her in the list. Happy Reading!” 📖 Fiction: ▪︎ American War by @oelakkad ▪︎ The Hakawati by @beirutiguy ▪︎ Mother of Strangers by @suad.amiry ▪︎ Shubeik Lubiek by @itsdeenasaur ▪︎ Home Is Not a Country by Safia Elhillo ▪︎ The Moor’s Account by @lailawrites 📖 Nonfiction: ▪︎ The Return: Fathers, Sons and the Land in Between by @hishamjmatar ▪︎ Dearborn by @zeineddineg ▪︎ Three Worlds: Memoir of an Arab-Jew by Avi Shlaim 📖 Arab American Fiction: ▪︎ Evil Eye by @etafrum ▪︎ Between Two Moons by @aisha_abdelg ▪︎ Behind You Is the Sea by @susandarraj ▪︎ The Skin and Its Girl by @sarahcypher ▪︎ The Other Americans by Laila Lalami 📖 Arab Poetry: ▪︎ The Moon that Turns You Back by @hala.n.alyan ▪︎ Rifqa by @mohammedelkurd 📖 Arab Fantasy: ▪︎ The Jasad Heir by @shashemwrites ▪︎ The Stardust Thief by @chelsabdullah

The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller The story unfolds over twenty-four hours and across fifty years, as decades of family legacies, love, lies, secrets, and one unspeakable incident in her childhood lead Elle to the make a life-changing decision. I gave this book 3.5 stars, but I’m wavering and not sure I should have been so generous. The ending baffled me, I understood it to be totally different. If you do decide to read it, please check the trigger warnings first! Have you read this one?

"For one more day" By~'Mitch Albom' ✨ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 stars. ✧ What a beautiful book. This book shows you the real love the purest love you will ever know. Love without any limitation! ✧ It’s a story about love and forgiveness, about the enduring bond between a mother and her son. This book teaches one to never take anything or anyone for granted. Life’s uncertainty is such that we may never get another chance... ✧ “You count the hours you could have spent with your mother. It’s a lifetime in itself.”❤️🫂 ✧ Anyway I highly recommend this one you might get bored at first but trust me and continue because it’s so beautiful and impactful... . . . 🏷️ Happy Reading♡<3 #books #foronemoreday #mitchalbom #bibliophile_shizu #explore #mitchalbombooks #bookquotes #fiction #novel #selfhelp #adultfiction #inspirational

In preparation for the publication in June and cover/title reveal in May, I decided to share a snippet of the main playlist for Lost Gods Book I. The top song is Bad Omens' "Just Pretend" (the whole Death of a Peace of Mind album have immaculate Lost Gods series-vibes but this one stands out particularly) and the runner up is "Colors" by Halsey (which greatly influenced the series as a whole). I have the whole official Spotify playlist linked here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6uLywC1LpAG2keCE5TepZC?si=6d2807acb1554b7c #adultbooks #authorlife #authorsofinstagram #comingsoon #bookrelease #summer2024 #summerbookrelease2024 #horroromance #darkspicyromance #darkfantasy #ruralhorror #suburbanhorror #spicybooks #spicydarkromance #queerlit #lostgodsuniverse #lostgods #lostgodsseries #lgbtqcharacters #mentalhealthawareness #disabledcharacters #neurodivergence #adultfiction #darkfiction #monsterlover #vampires

happy late release to @tylercnixonauthor 🌸 💭 which new april releases are you looking forward to? I’m so sorry! I got so busy with uni lately that i keep forgetting new releases. Thank you again to @tylercnixonauthor for sending me that amazing book box for his new release Fractured Souls 🌸 It has so many elements that i love in books: set in Tokyo, mental health rep, tragedy, survival and emotional story. It’s pitched as a mix of Your Name & Suzume which are both amazing anime movies so I’m really excited to dive into this story 🥹 If these elements are right up your alley, go pick up this book 🖤 #bookstagram #books #newrelease #aprilrelease #anime #fiction #tragicstory #fracturedsouls #youngadultbooks #adultfiction #fantasy #contemporary #igreads #bibliophile

Ladies and gentlemen she is HERE! As pretty much everyone, I’m super excited to dive into this book. It’s the book club pick for one of the book clubs I’m in! Also, I have to mention this. I don’t know if the wallpaper where I took this is crooked or what but it’s bugging me. My hand was definitely crooked but it looks goofy in the background.

“The Voyant and the Mark of Malice” by Sadie Hewitt 5/5 CW: violence, spice, mention of DV, some others. Thank you so much to the author for allowing me to a part of the ARC team! “The Voyant and the Mark of Malice” releases April 29, 2024! It’s the love child of “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Aladdin,” but make it a little spicy. How can you not love that? When Captain Rahmi Abada hears of a way to break his curse, to live immortality on the seas without having to sacrifice souls to Liddros, he leaps at the opportunity. There’s just one catch—he’ll need a djinn, and Liddros has warned that they’re both rare and dangerous. Kalia Salam has a secret—she’s a Voyant, a magic user who can invade the minds of others and leave visions in her wake. Stuck in perpetual servitude in a brothel, Kalia keeps her secret closely guarded. After an unfortunate encounter leads Rahmi’s men to abduct Kalia, thinking her to be the djinn they so desperately need, Kalia knows she’ll need to think fast and keep her secret even closer if she wants to survive Rahmi’s quest. I love Sadie Hewitt’s books. This is the second in the “Aeglecian Sea” series that I’ve been able to ARC read, and the fourth overall, and they never fail to make me go completely feral. Naturally, this one was no exception. So you could save yourself some time by not reading this review and instead immediately launching into the nearest book by this author that you can find. If a general “oh my god, it’s amazing” isn’t enough of an argument, though, read on so I can convince you. (Continued in comments)
