“The birds pulled her gaze along the coast and to the sky.” Waiting at a spot along North Nashville Greenway in TN! The Book Fairies are sharing copies of To A Darker Shore by Leanne Schwartz all around the states today! Who will be lucky enough to spot one? About the book: A da Vinci-esque teen girl inventor on a Dante-esque journey through hell to save her best friend. Plain, poor, plus-size, and autistic, Alesta grew up trying to convince her kingdom that she’s too useful to be sacrificed like so many of their country’s poor to appease the infernal monster across the poison sea in hell. When Alesta’s attempt to prove herself with inventions goes awry, her best friend and heir to the throne, Kyrian, takes the blame expecting leniency―and ends up tithed in her place. To end the sacrifices forever, Alesta plans to kill the monster that killed her friend. She travels to the depths of hell only to find Kyrian, alive, but monstrously transformed. There’s no escaping hell or their deeper feelings for one another, and the farther they go, the closer they come to uncovering a truth about the tithings that threatens to invoke the wrath of not only monsters but the gods as well. #ibelieveinbookfairies #TBFDarkerShore #TBFPageStreet #toadarkershore #aprayerforvengeance #pagestreetya #leanneschwartz #nashville #tennessee #makeamericareadagain #readmorebooks #greenway #nashvillegreenway

This book fairy is sharing a copy of A History of Burning by Janika Oza at Stansted Airport. Who will be lucky enough to find this special book? About the book: Pirbhai is only thirteen when he is taken across the sea to East Africa on a vague promise of work. He grows up fast, and when he meets fierce, loyal Sonal, they know instantly they are one another's future. Their family expands and thrives in the orderly, white-washed city of Kampala. But their granddaughters - proud Latika, diligent Mayuri and open-hearted Kiya - come of age in a divided nation. Finally forced to flee the brutality of Idi Amin, the family scatters across the world. They take with them a favourite rolling pin, a handful of photos, the taste, memory and language of home. They carry their secrets - past and present - too. One of which, when it comes out, will reveal the true cost of what gets left behind. A History of Burning is a gorgeous family portrait of love, survival, inheritance - and the eternal search for home. #ibelieveinbookfairies #VintageBookFairies #BookFairyProofs #AHistoryOfBurning #DebutAuthor #DebutBookFairies #JanikaOza

What a wonderful day exploring Edinburgh Castle! So much beauty and history! I couldn't leave the grounds without dropping one of my all-time favorite books by one of my very favorite authors: A Land More Kind Than Home by Wiley Cash. I hope, if you found it, you love it as much as I do! About the book: A stunning debut reminiscent of the beloved novels of John Hart and Tom Franklin, A Land More Kind Than Home is a mesmerizing literary thriller about the bond between two brothers and the evil they face in a small western North Carolina town For a curious boy like Jess Hall, growing up in Marshall means trouble when your mother catches you spying on grown-ups. Adventurous and precocious, Jess is enormously protective of his older brother, Christopher, a mute whom everyone calls Stump. Though their mother has warned them not to snoop, Stump can't help sneaking a look at something he's not supposed to — an act that will have catastrophic repercussions, shattering both his world and Jess's. It's a wrenching event that thrusts Jess into an adulthood for which he's not prepared. While there is much about the world that still confuses him, he now knows that a new understanding can bring not only a growing danger and evil — but also the possibility of freedom and deliverance as well. Told by three resonant and evocative characters — Jess; Adelaide Lyle, the town midwife and moral conscience; and Clem Barefield, a sheriff with his own painful past — A Land More Kind Than Home is a haunting tale of courage in the face of cruelty and the power of love to overcome the darkness that lives in us all. These are masterful portrayals, written with assurance and truth, and they show us the extraordinary promise of this remarkable. #ibelieveinbookfairies #ncbookfairy #travelingbookfairy #wileycash #appalachian #ncauthors #scotland #edinburghcastle

“The tall boy stood in the courtyard, shielding his eyes against the sun’s glare.” This book fairy is sharing a copy of The Destiny of Minou Moonshine by Gita Ralleigh! Who will be lucky enough to spot one? About the book: The story of a Queendom set in an alternate India. A debut rich in fantasy, friendship and faith, and an original middle grade adventure that sparkles with storytelling magic. The beautiful queendom of Moonlally has fallen under a tyrant’s rule. Their queen is dead, worship of their goddess, the Dark Lady, is forbidden, and the precious black diamond that protects the city – a rare fragment of fallen star ­– has gone missing. When fierce orphan girl Minou Moonshine’s life is unexpectedly shattered, she joins the ragtag band of rebels, the Green Orchids, who are plotting to overthrow the General.

I believe in book fairies 🧚🏾‍♂️ I joined a team of climate activists as book fairies in London this weekend! Let me know in the comments if you spotted the books we shared! We ‘hid’ a selection of secondhand climate related books as well as brand new copies of The Climate Book GretaThunberg, It’s Not Just You toritsui_, Birdgirl birdgirluk and A Bigger Picture vanessanakate1! The books were adorned in book fairy stickers, a bookmark and wrapped in twine. This activity is part of a weekend of events to reunite together our New York Times panel from COP26 in Glasgow and will culminate in The Climate Conversation at The Southbank Centre on Sunday. Climate education is everything, and I hope you enjoy finding books we scattered on the climate crisis, biodiversity loss and other environmental issues. Happy hunting! 1st photo 📸: mattjarvismedia #ibelieveinbookfairies #COPBookFairies #GreenBookFairies #BookFairyforaDay #TheClimateBook #ItsNotJustYou #Birdgirl #ABiggerPicture #ClimateActivists #ClimateAction

Story time! Back in 2017, I had just moved into my new dorm in Toronto, about to start my grad studies. As I was settling in and putting all my stuff away, I found this picture book on the top shelf of my closet. I had left all my @bookfairies_canada stickers at home as I had packed very few books so I made up a diy note and hid the book for a new reader to find, my first book drop in Toronto! What a surprise to stumble on it on the shelves on indie bookstore day 7 years later! I ended my period in Toronto with many, many book drops, partly to downsize my book collection before moving and partly to harken back to this first book that just happened to be left behind in my room for me to find. It’s my blogiversary today (April 2016 for the blog, November 2016 for ig!) so it felt like a good time to reminisce. Can’t believe I’ve been sharing my thoughts on books, and sharing the books themselves, for 8 years! Thanks for being here, whether you’ve been from the beginning or we just started chatting. I’m chatting about some favourites from the past year on the blog today, link in my bio. Second and third pics here are from that first post in 2017. . . [ID: first photo of a hand holding a book titled A Walk in the Rain with a Brain in front of a bookshelf. Book has a blue cover with illustrations of a young child in a raincoat and holding an umbrella walking alongside a brain wearing rubber boots and holding a tiny umbrella. Second photo of a different copy of the same book laid on a table with a note on top that reads “This book is free to a good home! You can take it home and read it or leave it for someone else to find. You can post your find and join in the fun by sharing a pic on Twitter or Instagram #IBelieveInBookFairies #HideABookDay Happy reading! A book fairy”.

Another beautiful spot for a book drop from our #TravellingBookFairy friend! 😀📚 Posted @withregram • @bookfairies_northcarolina The stunning Urquhart Castle overlooking Loch Ness seemed like the perfect place to leave another Appalachian author for a lucky local or tourist to find. Today, I chose the unforgettable work, A Parchment of Leaves, by one of my favorite authors, Silas House. About a Parchment of Leaves by Silas House: In this nationally bestselling novel, A Parchment of Leaves, Silas House produced an iconic story of 1900s rural mountain Kentucky that remains a favorite of many of his fans. On his way to find work in the Redbud Camp, Saul Sullivan encounters a Cherokee girl who is said to possess a beauty that brings death to the men who see her. Saul, however, is irrevocably drawn to Vine the moment he lays eye on her and believes they are meant to be married, over the objections of her mother and his. Despite her misgivings, Saul’s mother, Esme, and his brother Aaron take to Vine from the moment she comes to God’s Creek. In fact, Vine realizes from the start that Aaron’s interest in her is far more than brotherly. When Saul must leave Vine behind for a year of work, troubling and violent events follow his departure, and Vine’s spirit and her love are put to the ultimate test. This novel was the Winner of the Award for Special Achievement from the Fellowship of Southern Writers and a Finalist for the Southern Book Critics Circle Prize. Blair brings this novel into a beautiful new paperback edition, along with two other Silas House novels, Clay’s Quilt and The Coal Tattoo. The three novels, which share a common setting and some characters, are companion novels. They may be read individually, in any order, but collectively, they form a rich tableau of life in rural mountain Kentucky in the last century. #ibelieveinbookfairies #silashouse #travelingbookfairy #NCBookFairy #aparchmentofleaves #scotland #appalachianauthors #urquhartcastle

The next stop for our #TravellingBookFairy! 🎉🎉 Posted @withregram • @bookfairies_northcarolina I was super excited to not only visit beautiful Fort William but also to share another amazing NC author here in Scotland: Donna Everhart. This copy of The Saints of Swallow Hill was left outside of Saint Andrew’s breathtaking church. Did you spot it? About The Saints of Swallow Hill: It takes courage to save yourself... In the dense pine forests of North Carolina, turpentiners labor, hacking into tree trunks to draw out the sticky sap that gives the Tar Heel State its nickname, and hauling the resin to stills to be refined. Among them is Rae Lynn Cobb and her husband, Warren, who run a small turpentine farm together. Though the work is hard and often dangerous, Rae Lynn, who spent her childhood in an orphanage, is thankful for it—and for her kind if careless husband. When Warren falls victim to his own negligence, Rae Lynn undertakes a desperate act of mercy. To keep herself from jail, she disguises herself as a man named “Ray” and heads to the only place she can think of that might offer anonymity—a turpentine camp in Georgia named Swallow Hill. Swallow Hill is no easy haven. The camp is isolated and squalid, and commissary owner Otis Riddle takes out his frustrations on his browbeaten wife, Cornelia. Although Rae Lynn works tirelessly, she becomes a target for Crow, the ever-watchful woods rider who checks each laborer’s tally. Delwood Reese, who’s come to Swallow Hill hoping for his own redemption, offers “Ray” a small measure of protection, and is determined to improve their conditions. As Rae Lynn forges a deeper friendship with both Del and Cornelia, she begins to envision a path out of the camp. But she will have to come to terms with her past, with all its pain and beauty, before she can open herself to a new life and seize the chance to begin again. #ibelieveinbookfairies #ncbookfairy #travelingbookfairy #donnaeverhart #bookstagram #books #freebooks #thesaintsofswallowhill #fortwilliam #scotland #ncauthors #appalachian

Yay! Yet more #TravellingBookFairy fun! Welcome to a new friend all the way from North Carolina, USA! 👋🏻 Posted @withregram • @bookfairies_northcarolina Helllloooo, Scotland! I think I love you, but enough about that 😍 My visit started with a brief but beautiful stay in Oban! I couldn’t leave this gorgeous view without dropping a copy of Kelly Mustian’s PHENOMENAL novel, The Girls in the Stilt House for a local or tourist to enjoy 😉 Cheers to my first Appalachian novel dropped in lovely Scotland 🍻 About the book: Set in 1920s Mississippi, this debut Southern novel weaves a beautiful and harrowing story of two teenage girls cast in an unlikely partnership through murder—perfect for readers of Where the Crawdads Sing and If the Creek Don’t Rise. Ada promised herself she would never go back to the Trace, to her hard life on the swamp and her harsh father. But now, after running away to Baton Rouge and briefly knowing a different kind of life, she finds herself with nowhere to go but back home. And she knows there will be a price to pay with her father. Matilda, daughter of a sharecropper, is from the other side of the Trace. Doing what she can to protect her family from the whims and demands of some particularly callous locals is an ongoing struggle. She forms a plan to go north, to pack up the secrets she’s holding about her life in the South and hang them on the line for all to see in Ohio. As the two girls are drawn deeper into a dangerous world of bootleggers and moral corruption, they must come to terms with the complexities of their tenuous bond and a hidden past that links them in ways that could cost them their lives. #ibelieveinbookfairies #travelingbookfairy #thegirlsinthestilthouse #bookstagram #ncbookfairy #freebook #kellymustian #scotland #appalachia #appalachianfiction

This book fairy is sharing a copy of Newborn by Kerry Hudson! Who will be lucky enough to find this book? About the book: In Newborn, prizewinning writer Kerry Hudson navigates trying to build a nourishing, safe and loving family - without a blueprint to work from. Kerry Hudson is celebrated for her emotionally and politically powerful writing about growing up in poverty. Her books and journalism have changed the conversation and touched countless lives. In this new book she asks: what next, after a childhood like hers? What hope is there of creating a different life for herself, let alone future generations? We see how Kerry found love, what it took to decide to start a family of her own and how fragile every step of the journey towards parenthood was. All along the way, she faces obstacles that would test the strongest foundations, from struggles with fertility to being locked down in a Prague maternity hospital to a marriage in crisis. But over and over again, her love, hope, fight -- and determination to break patterns and give her son a different life -- win through and light her path. Newborn is a beautiful, empowering memoir about creating a family in the midst of chaos, and learning new ways to find happiness. It continues the journey Kerry started in her bestselling memoir Lowborn, illuminating her experiences of becoming a mother, reshaping her future and reclaiming her identity. #ibelieveinbookfairies #VintageBookFairies #BookFairyProofs #NonFiction #NonFictionBookFairies #MumsNet #Newborn #KerryHudson #Memoir

His inclusion of a note about a haunting monument in the book sparked my interest, prompting me to add it to my Scotland adventure itinerary. 😜 What a journey it turned out to be! Amidst breathtaking landscapes and adorable lambs, the atmosphere held a hint of spookiness even in broad daylight.

A preloved copy of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman was left today in the little library outside Braidburn Valley Park In Edinburgh. Did you find it? About the book No one’s ever told Eleanor that life should be better than fine. Meet Eleanor Oliphant: She struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she’s thinking. Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding social interactions, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza, vodka, and phone chats with Mummy. But everything changes when Eleanor meets Raymond, the bumbling and deeply unhygienic IT guy from her office. When she and Raymond together save Sammy, an elderly gentleman who has fallen on the sidewalk, the three become the kinds of friends who rescue one another from the lives of isolation they have each been living. And it is Raymond’s big heart that will ultimately help Eleanor find the way to repair her own profoundly damaged one. Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine is the smart, warm, and uplifting story of an out-of-the-ordinary heroine whose deadpan weirdness and unconscious wit make for an irresistible journey as she realizes. . . The only way to survive is to open your heart. #Ibelieveinbookfairies #ibelieveinbookfairies💚 #edinburghbookfairies #bookfairiesedinburgh #bookfairiesscotland #scottishbookfairies #edinburgh #prelovedbooks #prelovedbook #secondhandbook #secondhandbooks #littlefreelibrary #littlefreelibraries #littlefreelibrariesofinstagram #eleanoroliphantiscompletelyfine

This book fairy is sharing a copy of Beast Lands by Jess French! Who will be lucky enough to spot this first book in a brand new series? This copy was hidden near the Lion at Bury Knowle Park in Headington. About the book: Before there were people, there were beasts.... The island of Ramoa was once luscious and populated with mighty beasts. Now though, it is home to barren and tamed cities, where nature is locked out and trouble is brewing. When Kayla's beloved animal companion, a rare winged pangron, is stolen, she's determined to get him back. But to do so, she'll have to leave her city and journey into the wild and forbidden Beastlands. There, she meets Rustus, an exiled young warrior, and Alethea, a healer desperately seeking a cure for a mysterious disease. As their quests unite them, they'll adventure across the lands they know so little about, leading them to discoveries both great and terrifying. Not least that the beasts they've always been taught to fear might not be so terrifying after all… The first instalment in an epic new fantasy adventure series for readers of Dragon Realm, Fireborn and Skandar And The Unicorn Thief. #ibelieveinbookfairies #BookFairyProofs #Beastlands #TBFBonnier #JessFrench #MGReads #Oxford #Headington

This book fairy is sharing a copy of The Bridleway! Who will be lucky enough to find this book? This was left inside Oxford's historic Covered Market. About the book: Tiffany Francis-Baker explores how the relationship between humans and horses has shaped the British landscape and how this connection has become part of our nation's ecosystems. Many of us enjoy walking or riding on bridleways. These ancient networks crisscross the British countryside, but we rarely pause to ponder how they came to be. Tiffany Francis-Baker tells the intriguing history of Britain's bridleways, revealing how our relationship with horses is deeply woven into the fabric of British culture, from street and pub names to trading routes and coaching inns. She meets the closest living descendants of wild horses and investigates our evolving relationship with horses, exploring equestrian sports, horse fairs, horseback travellers and adventurers, and how humans and horses have worked together for millennia. Part-domesticated and part-fiercely independent, horses have long captured our imaginations, and in The Bridleway, Francis-Baker reveals how deeply rooted they have been in our culture for thousands of years and how they can help us understand the natural world and our place within it. . . . #ibelieveinbookfairies #TBFBloomsbury #BookFairyProofs #TheBridleway #TiffanyFrancisBaker #GetOutside #Oxford #coveredmarketoxford #coveredmarket #cityofdreamingspires

We've had a busy Book Fairy this weekend who has been visiting lots of places across Oxford. This book fairy is sharing a copy of Flourish by Antonia Case! Who will be lucky enough to find this book? A copy was hidden by The Garden in Oxford's historic Covered Market About the book: What is a meaningful life? What does it mean to flourish? Antonia Case, the co-founder of New Philosopher and Womankind magazines, quits her corporate job in the city and, with her partner, travels across the world in search of meaning. In a quest to find answers, she turns off the soundtrack of the media, rids herself of technology, and with little more than books as carry-on luggage, she journeys from Buenos Aires to Paris, from Barcelona to Byron Bay, seeking guidance from ancient philosophers and modern-day psychologists on what is a good life, and what is a life worth living. Along the way she discovers why winning the lottery doesn't make you happy, why making is better than having, and how love and belonging are vital to our sense of selves. Packed with insight into life's big questions, Flourish will take you on a riveting journey in search of what matters most. . . . #ibelieveinbookfairies #BookFairyProofs #TBFBloomsbury #AntoniaCase #FlourishBook #coveredmarketoxford #oxford #OxfordLife #coveredmarket

“Dima’s attention was elsewhere.” One of our Glasgow book fairies popped over to visit @thelittlelibraryinthehedge today and left a copy of The Destiny of Minou Moonshine by Gita Ralleigh! Who will be lucky enough to find it when they visit? About the book: The story of a Queendom set in an alternate India. A debut rich in fantasy, friendship and faith, and an original middle grade adventure that sparkles with storytelling magic. The beautiful queendom of Moonlally has fallen under a tyrant’s rule. Their queen is dead, worship of their goddess, the Dark Lady, is forbidden, and the precious black diamond that protects the city – a rare fragment of fallen star ­– has gone missing. When fierce orphan girl Minou Moonshine’s life is unexpectedly shattered, she joins the ragtag band of rebels, the Green Orchids, who are plotting to overthrow the General. Armed with a secret and a map, Minou sets off with her friends and a mechanical elephant, through the lush jungles of Indica, in search of a queen, a goddess and her destiny. #ibelieveinbookfairies #TheDestinyofMinouMoonshine #TBFMinou #BookFairyProofs #HeadofZeusBookFairies #GitaRalleigh #MGReads #LittleFreeLibrary #Lenzie #Glasgow #Scotland

"It's as if l'm trapped on a runaway train. No, this is worse. The RMS Atlantica is steaming out into the ocean and I am the only person on board."

Celebrating SLO International Film Festival with a books that have movie adaptations 📚🧚‍♀️ Let us know if you find A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman! About the book: Meet Ove. He’s a curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him “the bitter neighbor from hell.” But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn’t walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time? Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents’ association to their very foundations. #sloiff #centralcoastbookfairy #slolife #downtownslo #slocal #centralcoast #ibelieveinbookfairies #bookfairies_usa #bookfairiesworldwide #bookfairies_california #fredrikbackmanbooks #fredrikbackman #amancalledove #sanluisobispocounty #sanluisobispo

A Toronto Book Fairy is listening to Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey. #IBelieveInBookFairies #ThisBookFairyIsReading About the book: I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me.   Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries. I found stories I experienced, lessons I learned and forgot, poems, prayers, prescriptions, beliefs about what matters, some great photographs, and a whole bunch of bumper stickers. I found a reliable theme, an approach to living that gave me more satisfaction, at the time, and still: If you know how, and when, to deal with life’s challenges—how to get relative with the inevitable—you can enjoy a state of success I call “catching greenlights.”   So I took a one-way ticket to the desert and wrote this book: an album, a record, a story of my life so far. This is fifty years of my sights and seens, felts and figured-outs, cools and shamefuls. Graces, truths, and beauties of brutality. Getting away withs, getting caughts, and getting wets while trying to dance between the raindrops.   Hopefully, it’s medicine that tastes good, a couple of aspirin instead of the infirmary, a spaceship to Mars without needing your pilot’s license, going to church without having to be born again, and laughing through the tears.   It’s a love letter. To life.   It’s also a guide to catching more greenlights—and to realizing that the yellows and reds eventually turn green too.   Good luck. #audiobook #readmorebooks #readmore  #bookworm #booklover #lovetoread #readingisourfavourite #readers #instabook #bookstagram #sharebooks #bookjoy #bookish #bookfairy #bookfairies #bookfairiesoftoronto #MatthewMcConaughey
