THE IMPOSSIBLE GIRL
OPIUM AND ABSINTHE
A BEAUTIFUL POISON
#bookgiveaway #opiumandabsinthe #lydiakang #vampirestory #winbooks #stayhomereadbooks
Opium and Absinthe synopsis:
New York City, 1899. Tillie Pembroke’s sister lies dead, her body drained of blood and with two puncture wounds on her neck. Bram Stoker’s new novel, Dracula, has just been published, and Tillie’s imagination leaps to the impossible: the murderer is a vampire. But it can’t be—can it?

A ravenous reader and researcher, Tillie has something of an addiction to truth, and she won’t rest until she unravels the mystery of her sister’s death. Unfortunately, Tillie’s addicted to more than just truth; to ease the pain from a recent injury, she’s taking more and more laudanum…and some in her immediate circle are happy to keep her well supplied.

Tillie can’t bring herself to believe vampires exist. But with the hysteria surrounding her sister’s death, the continued vampiric slayings, and the opium swirling through her body, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for a girl who relies on facts and figures to know what’s real—or whether she can trust those closest to her.

Isn’t it amazing how you can take a regular cake mix and put it in a bundt pan and have this absolute masterpiece? I mean you can have this gorgeous “company-ready” cake in no time all due to the structure of a pan. Some things never cease to amaze me. Frankly, I think bundt cakes taste better too, but maybe it’s my mind playing tricks on me.

Why am I talking about bundt cakes? Easy answer. Check out this cozy mystery by @ellie_alexander & @stmartinspress published yesterday 6/30 called NOTHING BUNDT TROUBLE. Ellie is a veteran cozy writer and clearly knows that putting a bundt cake on a cover is more than enough to get my attention, not that I don’t love cozies already, but a CAKE…yeah, I’m all in. Check this one out:

Spring has sprung in Ashland, Oregon, and everything at Torte seems to be coming up buttercream roses. But just when Juliet Capshaw seems to have found her sweet spot–with her staff set to handle the influx of tourists for this year’s Shakespeare festival while she moves back into her childhood home–things take a dramatic turn. Jules discovers a long-forgotten dossier in her deceased father’s belongings that details one of the most controversial cases in Ashland’s history: a hit-and-run accident from the 1980s. Or was it?
Now it’s up to Jules to parse through a whole new world of details from another era, from unraveling cassette tapes to recipes for Bundt cakes, before an old enemy brings the Capshaw “pastry case” to a modern-day dead end.

Oh my, I love this premise. Cozy mystery, baking and controversial legal cases. The only thing that can make this any better is a piece of bundt cake to eat while I am reading! Looks like the supplies I grabbed for this photo are going to be put right to work. Hope you are having a happy July 1st.

What are your reading plans for this month?

Happy Reading and Be Nice.

Who here enjoys knitting?
🧶
Welcome to my stop for the TLC Book Tours tour of Murder in a Scottish Shire by Traci Hall, published by @kensingtonbooks. This cozy mystery is the first in a series that sounds fabulous since I really enjoy not only knitting (and crocheting 😉), but reading books about knitting as well. It released today, so make sure to go grab a copy! Keep reading for the synopsis.
.
.
.
Known as the Brighton of the North, Nairn is both a charming Scottish town and a popular seaside resort—but to Paislee Shaw, it’s simply home—unfortunately to a murderer . . .
🧶
For a twenty-eight-year-old single mum, Paislee has knit together a sensible life for herself, her ten-year-old son Brody, and Wallace, their black Scottish terrier. Having inherited a knack for knitting from her dear departed grandmother, Paislee also owns a specialty sweater shop called Cashmere Crush, where devoted local crafters gather weekly for her Knit and Sip.
Lately, though, Paislee feels as if her life is unraveling. She’s been served an eviction notice, and her estranged and homeless grandfather has just been brought to her door by a disconcertingly handsome detective named Mack Zeffer. As if all that wasn’t enough, Paislee discovers a young woman who she recently rehired to help in the shop dead in her flat, possibly from an overdose of her heart medicine. But as details of the death and the woman’s life begin to raise suspicions for Detective Inspector Zeffer, it’s Paislee who must untangle a murderous yarn . . .

📖 PRESS PRODUCT // I’ve talked a lot about books lately. Educational books. Political books. Anti-racism books.⁣
•⁣
I’ve always been obsessed with having my book shelves filled and my interest in literature has evolved over time.⁣
•⁣
Now if you’ve been here for a while, you know lately I *never* do collaborations with brands. But the offer of a book? I couldn’t turn down.⁣
•⁣
@tlcbooktours 📚 asked me to be a part of a virtual book tour for National Geographic’s new sustainability bible.⁣
•⁣
@AttainableSustainable begins “Before the days of pizza delivery and ready meals, people were do-it-yourselfers by default”.... 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐢𝐧’𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚? ☕⁣
•⁣
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed poring over this wholesome sustainable guide — and I particularly love that this isn’t a toxic Privileged view of sustainability (no shaming here!)⁣
•⁣
I’ve written up a review of Attainable Sustainable on my blog — I’m not just talking about the book itself, but also sharing my conversations with my Nan who lived the true sustainable experience before the word even existed. And I bet your grandparents had the same experience too.⁣

Is there an author or book on your list that you want to read “before you die”? 🤔
•
I love references like “1001 Books to Read Before You Die”, I don’t take them as gospel but I do use them to give myself goals and push myself literarily. And Isabel Allende’s “The House of Spirits” and “Daughter of Fortune” are absolutely on my personal list. •
And now, I and my shelves, are one step closer to my goal because @harperviabooks gifted me these new editions of @allendeisabel’s books! I’ve teamed up with @tlcbooktours to show of these stunning new re-releases with gorgeous covers. Individually, or as a set, they’re so colorful and striking. 😍

A SPRINKLING OF MURDER by Daryl Wood Gerber
.
Thank you @tlcbooktours for including me on this tour! I have always loved the little fairy 🧚🏻‍♀️ gardens I see at greenhouses while buying my flowers.This book sounds absolutely magical and I’m looking forward to reading it this summer! Who knows, maybe I’ll end up with a fairy garden of my own?
.
QotD: Do you love/believe in fairies or sprites? 🧚🏻‍♀️
.
Aotd: I absolutely do!!
.

Fairy garden store owner Courtney Kelly believes in inviting magic into your life. But when uninvited trouble enters her shop, she’ll need more than a sprinkling of her imagination to solve a murder . . .

Since childhood, Courtney has loved fairies. After her mother died when Courtney was ten, she lost touch with that feeling of magic. A year ago, at age twenty-nine, she rediscovered it when she left her father’s landscaping business to spread her wings and start a fairy garden business and teashop in beautiful Carmel, California. At Open Your Imagination, she teaches garden design and sells everything from fairy figurines to tinkling wind chimes. Now she’s starting a book club tea.

But the light of the magical world she’s created inside her shop is darkened one night when she discovers neighboring dog-grooming business owner Mick Watkins dead beside her patio fountain. To make matters worse, the police suspect Courtney of the crime. To clear her name and find the real killer, Courtney will have to wing it. But she’s about to get a little help from an unexpected source . . .

WITHOUT EVER REACHING THE SUMMIT⁣
⁣
Hi there #Bookstafam! I’m so stoked that today is my day off since I’m going to be working on my new theme and integrate a new element to my rainbow shelf. I’m also hoping to attend this virtual seminar about endangered species and global sustainability.⁣
⁣
QOTD Is there a place you’d love to travel to in the future?⁣
⁣
AOTD After I watched Motorcycle Dairies, I’ve had it in my heart to travel across Latin America across the Andes and the coast of Chile. It’s such a beautiful landscape! For this reason, I connected with #WithoutEverReachingtheSummit by Paolo Cognetti; his impressive connection to nature and a newfound identity by traveling through the remote region of Dolpo truly had you breathing the air of Saldhang Pass and feel the enormity of the road ahead.⁣
⁣
ABOUT THE BOOK⁣
⁣
An awestruck love letter to one of the most spectacular places on earth, from the author of international bestseller The Eight Mountains.⁣
⁣
Paolo Cognetti marked his 40th birthday with a journey he had always wanted to make: to Dolpo, a remote Himalayan region where Nepal meets Tibet. He took with him two friends, a notebook, mules and guides, and a well-worn copy of The Snow Leopard. Written in 1978, Matthiessen's classic was also turning forty, and Cognetti set out to walk in the footsteps of the great adventurer.⁣
⁣
Without Ever Reaching the Summit combines travel journal, secular pilgrimage, literary homage and sublime mountain writing in a short book for readers of Macfarlane, Rebanks and Cognetti's own bestseller, The Eight Mountains. An investigation into the author's physical limits, an ancient mountain culture, and the magnificence of nature, it is an awestruck love letter to one of the most spectacular places on earth.⁣

Do you like reading books set where you live or would you rather travel to different places?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I haven’t found a lot of crime fiction titles set in Maryland, so I was thrilled when I first learned about Laura Lippman’s Lady in the Lake! This book is set in Baltimore, which isn’t far from me at all!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lady in the Lake has been called a combination of classic noir and modern psychological insights. Taking place in the 1960’s the story centers on a middle-aged housewife turned aspiring reporter who is pursuing the murder of a forgotten young woman. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This book screams perfect for Summer reading and I can’t wait to get to it soon!⁣⁣

Blog Tour Review and Giveaway!
Olivia is sleepwalking again. She hasn’t done it since she was little, and now she’s woken up in the pitch black yard of her house by the woods. Shit is getting heavy.
Twenty years ago, Olivia, then known as Arden, was swept away in a storm whilst sleepwalking at six years old and went missing for days. The case took the media by storm (ha ☔️) and when she was found alive, her and her mother couldn’t escape the interest of the press and the public.
With the 20 year anniversary of the accident approaching, Olivia is keeping her head down in her new town with her new name. Until one morning, when she wakes up in the middle of her yard, with a dead body at her feet.

I genuinely loved this book- it was escapist, gripping, with the right-amount of whodunnit and a main character my own age who I had everything crossed for. This book has made Miranda’s work a must-buy for me, so catch me ordering The Last House Guest ASAP.

If you want to read The Girl From Widow Hills - and you do, trust me - you’re in luck!

I've been a big fan of @knownemily on @lithub (I'll read most things she recommends 😂) so when I saw she was releasing her own novel I knew I had to read it.⁠⁣

This one released into the world last week, so definitely check it out if you're a fan of literary fiction ☺⁠⁣
⁠⁣
Synopsis: A stylish, stunningly precise, and suspenseful meditation on adolescent desire, female friendship, and the female body that shimmers with rage, wit, and fierce longing—an audacious, darkly observant, and mordantly funny literary debut for fans of Emma Cline, Ottessa Moshfegh, and Jenny Offill.⁠⁣

Thank you @tlcbooktours and @thomasnelson for a copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review. It was a pleasure reading this one.
•
•
Easily ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. The subtitle: Know What You Want, Why You Want it, and What You’re Going to Do About It...this book explores it all. It is no secret that I’m not the one to grab nonfiction books quickly. I will always read @bobgoff’s work though. Dream Big follows the footsteps for two amazing books, Love Does and Everybody Always. It delivers more truth and hope just like his previous endeavors. We all have dreams and ambitions, but what are we doing about them? Goff explores all the aspects of allowing God to use the talents and goals you possess to make this world a better place. This book was like a hug I didn’t know I needed with simple and sweet advice about seeing your ambitions in a different way. The gems of encouragement have lit a fire under me to continue to write the novel I’ve always wanted to share. Highly recommend! 👏

Dream Big is available now. 🎉

Today I have a special feature for this lovely historical mystery series! Here is all the info so be sure to take a look and pick up a copy! You all know how much I love historical mysteries and this series is great! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Wild-hearted Kentuckian Stella Kendrick cautiously navigates the strict demands of British high society as the future Lady of Morrington Hall. But when petty scandals lead to bloody murder, her outspoken nature could be all that keeps her alive . . . ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Following a whirlwind engagement to Viscount “Lyndy” Lyndhurst, Stella is finding her footing within an elite social circle in picturesque rural England. Except tea time with refined friends can be more dangerous than etiquette faux pas—especially in the company of Lady Philippa, the woman Lyndy was once set to marry, and her husband, the ostentatious Lord Fairbrother . . . ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Outrage erupts and accusations fly after Lord Fairbrother’s pony wins best in breed for the seventh consecutive year. The man has his share of secrets and adversaries, but Stella and Lyndy are in for a brutal shock when they discover his body floating in the river during a quiet morning fishing trip . . . ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Suddenly unwelcome around hardly-grieving Lady Philippa and Lyndy’s endlessly critical mother, Stella faces the bitter reality that she may always be an outsider—and one of her trusted new acquaintances may be a calculating killer. Now, Stella and her fiancé must fight against the current to catch the culprit, before they’re the next couple torn apart by tragedy. ⁠⠀

My choice this week for #coffeeandcurrentlyreading is Perfect Happiness, by Kristyn Kuseck Lewis. So glad to be on the tour with this one, billed as a bittersweet family love story that explores how easy it is to lose connection with the people closest to us, and what happens when we try to find our way back. I’ve said it before~I love a good family drama! This one just came out earlier this month, so it’s available now!⁣
•⁣
What are you reading this week? Along with this and The Book of Longing, I’m also into Just Mercy and After the Flood.⁣

Synopsis: Charlotte McGanley has written the bestseller, 𝒫𝑒𝓇𝒻𝑒𝒸𝓉 𝐻𝒶𝓅𝓅𝒾𝓃𝑒𝓈𝓈, about how she uses positive psychology to brighten her own life as a busy mother and professor. To her own surprise, she’s become a self-help guru who gives seminars all over the country and has a large Instagram following that loves her positive, upbeat posts, and yet she herself has never been more miserable. Her life at home is very different: she’s lost interest in her husband, her partner in all things, and he’s getting fed up; their daughter, Birdie, only fourteen, a freshman and the high school’s star tennis player, is beginning to cave to the pressure of being a teen and seems determined to self-destruct. Charlotte, even with all her expertise, has no idea how to be there —she can't see that her work, devotion to loyal fans, and maybe her one too many glasses of wine are destroying what was once a happy home.⁣ ⁣What is happiness when the family you’ve nurtured falls apart? When all of your own tools don’t seem to work?⁣

Yearning to make sense of his shocking departure and to escape her overbearing mother—a woman as grounded as her father is mercurial—Olivia runs away from home and retraces his path to a place known as the Levitation Center.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Once there, she enrolls in their summer program for troubled teens, which Olivia refers to as “Buddhist Boot Camp for Bad Girls”. Soon, she finds herself drawn into the company of a close-knit trio of girls determined to transcend their circumstances, by any means necessary. Led by the elusive and beautiful Serena, and her aloof, secretive acolytes, Janet and Laurel, the girls decide this is the summer they will finally achieve enlightenment—and learn to levitate, to defy the weight of their bodies, to experience ultimate lightness. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But as desire and danger intertwine, and Olivia comes ever closer to discovering what a body—and a girl—is capable of, it becomes increasingly clear that this is an advanced and perilous practice, and there’s a chance not all of them will survive. Set over the course of one fateful summer that unfolds like a fever dream, The Lightness juxtaposes fairy tales with quantum physics, cognitive science with religious fervor, and the passions and obsessions of youth with all of these, to explore concepts as complex as faith and as simple as loving people—even though you don’t, and can’t, know them at all.

SYNOPSIS⁣⁣
⁣On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. It’s a wedding for a magazine, or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
But perfection is for plans, and people are all too human. As the champagne is popped and the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies begin to mingle with the reminiscences and well wishes. The groomsmen begin the drinking game from their school days. The bridesmaid not-so-accidentally ruins her dress. The bride’s oldest (male) friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
And then someone turns up dead. Who didn’t wish the happy couple well? And perhaps more important, why?⁣⁣
