Phillip Rock’s The Passing Bells trilogy, on tour January and February 2013

January 3, 2013 By trish Leave a Comment

The Passing Bells About The Passing Bells

• Paperback: 544 pages
• Publisher: William Morrow Paperbacks; Reissue edition (December 4, 2012)

The guns of August are rumbling throughout Europe in the summer of 1914, but war has not yet touched Abingdon Pryory. Here, at the grand home of the Greville family, the parties, dances, and romances play on. Alexandra Greville embarks on her debutante season while brother Charles remains hopelessly in love with the beautiful, untitled Lydia Foxe, knowing that his father, the Earl of Stanmore, will never approve of the match. Downstairs the new servant, Ivy, struggles to adjust to the routines of the well-oiled household staff, as the arrival of American cousin Martin Rilke, a Chicago newspaperman, causes a stir.

But, ultimately, the Great War will not be denied, as what begins for the high-bred Grevilles as a glorious adventure soon takes its toll—shattering the household’s tranquillity, crumbling class barriers, and bringing its myriad horrors home.

Circles of TimeAbout Circles of Time

• Paperback: 448 pages
• Publisher: William Morrow Paperbacks; Reissue edition (January 2, 2013)

A generation has been lost on the Western Front. The dead have been buried, a harsh peace forged, and the howl of shells replaced by the wail of saxophones as the Jazz Age begins. But ghosts linger—that long-ago golden summer of 1914 tugging at the memory of Martin Rilke and his British cousins, the Grevilles.

From the countess to the chauffeur, the inhabitants of Abingdon Pryory seek to forget the past and adjust their lives to a new era in which old values, social codes, and sexual mores have been irretrievably swept away. Martin Rilke throws himself into reporting, discovering unsettling political currents, as Fenton Wood-Lacy faces exile in faraway army outposts. Back at Abingdon, Charles Greville shows signs of recovery from shell shock and Alexandra is caught up in an unlikely romance.Circles of Time captures the age as these strongly drawn characters experience it, unfolding against England’s most gracious manor house, the steamy nightclubs of London’s Soho, and the despair of Germany caught in the nightmare of anarchy and inflation. Lives are renewed, new loves found, and a future of peace and happiness is glimpsed—for the moment.

A Future ArrivedAbout A Future Arrived

• Paperback: 480 pages
• Publisher: William Morrow Paperbacks; Reissue edition (February 5, 2013)

The final installment of the saga of the Grevilles of Abingdon Pryory begins in the early 1930s, as the dizzy gaiety of the Jazz Age comes to a shattering end. What follows is a decade of change and uncertainty, as the younger generation, born during or just after the “war to end all wars,” comes of age.

American writer Martin Rilke has made his journalistic mark, earning worldwide fame with his radio broadcasts, and young Albert Thaxton seeks to follow in his footsteps as a foreign correspondent. Derek Ramsey, born only weeks after his father fell in France, and Colin Ross, a dashing Yankee, leave their schoolboy days behind and enter fighter pilot training as young men. The beautiful Wood-Lacy twins, Jennifer and Victoria, and their passionate younger sister, Kate, strive to forge independent paths, while learning to love—and to let go.

In their heady youth and bittersweet growth to adulthood, they are the future—but the shadows that touched the lives of the generation before are destined to reach out to their own.

📖🎉 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿 & 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 ⁣
 ⁣
With compassion and insight, Jess Montgomery weaves a gripping mystery and portrait of community in 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙨, the powerful third novel in the Kinship series, which includes 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙒𝙞𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙨 and 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙃𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙨.⁣
⁣
𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆⁣
𝘖𝘩𝘪𝘰, 𝟷𝟿𝟸𝟽: Moonshining is a way of life in rural Bronwyn County, and even the otherwise upstanding Sheriff Lily Ross has been known to turn a blind eye when it comes to stills in the area. But when thirteen-year-old Jebediah Ranklin almost dies after drinking tainted moonshine, Lily knows that someone has gone too far, and–with the help of organizer and moonshiner Marvena Whitcomb–is determined to find out who.⁣
⁣
But then, Lily’s nemesis, the businessman George Vogel, reappears in town with his new wife, Fiona. Along with them is also her former brother-in-law Luther Ross, now an agent for the newly formed Bureau of Prohibition. To Lily, it seems too much of a coincidence that they should arrive now.⁣
⁣
As fall turns to winter, a blizzard closes in. Lily starts to peel back the layers of deception shrouding the town of Kinship, but soon she discovers that many around her seem to be betraying those they hold dear–and that Fiona too may have an agenda of her own.⁣

Thank you @amazonpublishing and @tlcbooktours for sending me a copy of After Alice Fell. This one sounds like a book that will keep me up all night.
_________________________________
Synopsis
Until she discovers the truth of her sister’s death, no one will rest in peace.

New Hampshire, 1865. Marion Abbott is summoned to Brawders House asylum to collect the body of her sister, Alice. She’d been found dead after falling four stories from a steep-pitched roof. Officially: an accident. Confidentially: suicide. But Marion believes a third option: murder.

Returning to her family home to stay with her brother and his second wife, the recently widowed Marion is expected to quiet her feelings of guilt and grief—to let go of the dead and embrace the living. But that’s not easy in this house full of haunting memories.

Just when the search for the truth seems hopeless, a stranger approaches Marion with chilling words: I saw her fall.

Thank you @harperviabooks for gifting me this gorgeous copy of The End of the Ocean by @maja.lunde and @tlcbooktours
for inviting me on this tour!

About The End of the Ocean 👇

In 2019, seventy-year-old Signe sets out on a hazardous voyage to cross an entire ocean in only a sailboat. She is haunted by the loss of the love of her life, and is driven by a singular and all-consuming mission to make it back to him.

In 2041, David flees with his young daughter, Lou, from a war-torn Southern Europe plagued by drought. They have been separated from their rest of their family and are on a desperate search to reunite with them once again, when they find Signe's abandoned sailboat in a parched French garden, miles away from the nearest shore.

As David and Lou discover personal effects from Signe's travels, their journey of survival and hope weaves together with Signe's, forming a heartbreaking, inspiring story about the power of nature and the human spirit in this second novel from the author of the "spectacular and deeply moving" (New York Times bestselling author Lisa See) The History of Bees.

No, you didn’t just flip on an updated version of Weird Science. But yes, this post is about boobs. 

A Boob’s Life by Leslie Lehr @leslielehr1 is available now from @pegasus_books 
Thank you to @tlcbooktours for gifted copy and my place on this tour. 

✨

Author Leslie Lehr wants to talk about boobs. She’s gone from size AA to DDD and everything between, from puberty to motherhood, enhancement to cancer, and beyond. And she’s not alone—these are classic life stages for women today.

At turns funny and heartbreaking, A Boob’s Life explores both the joys and hazards inherent to living in a woman’s body. Lehr deftly blends her personal narrative with national history, starting in the 1960s with the women’s liberation movement and moving to the current feminist dialogue and what it means to be a woman. Her insightful and clever writing analyzes how America’s obsession with the female form has affected her own life’s journey and the psyche of all women today.

From her prize-winning fiction to her viral New York Times Modern Love essay, exploring the challenges facing contemporary women has been Lehr’s life-long passion. A Boob’s Life, her first project since breast cancer treatment, continues this mission, taking readers on a wildly informative, deeply personal, and utterly relatable journey. No matter your gender, you’ll never view this sexy and sacred body part the same way again.

✨

All my joking aside, this book is full of wisdom, history and is actually now in development to become a series on HBO Max with Salma Hayek at the helm. 

Basically, what I’m telling you is...this book is #thetits 

QOTD: What is your fave 80s/90s teen movie?

📖Limitless - Mallory Weggemann w/Tiffany Yecke Brooks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
.
.

I am always fascinated and so impressed with people who take the hard ingredients life throws at them and turns them into their favorite meals.  Terrible analogy but I'm sticking with it. (I shouldn't write reviews before coffee.) 
Weggemann is so inspirational.  She wakes up unexpectedly paralyzed from the waist down from a routine surgery.  She channels her competitive swimming spirit and breaks records in the Paralympic Games.  Then has to go through surgeries and rehab from damaging her arm and from there continues to win swimming competitions.  There's NOTHING that will hold her back.  She even ended up WALKING down the aisle on her wedding day.  Now, you would think this would sum up the book and to an extent it does.  But what you need to consider is just how hard it was to get through each one of these stages.  These lessons are hard learned but she let nothing stand in her way.  Thankfully she also had an amazing support system in her family.

I can't say much more about this other than it's a beautiful memoir.  Always swim towards the light.

"A fast-paced, page-turning thriller that contemplates the consequences of motherhood, memory, and crime as a commodity.

Black ops specialist Aubrey Sentro may be one concussion away from death. But when pirates seize the cargo ship she’s on, she must decide whether to risk her life to save her fellow passengers.
Sentro’s training takes over, and she’s able to elude her captors, leaving bodies in her wake. But her problems are just getting started. Her memory lapses are getting more frequent, symptoms of serial-concussion syndrome.
As she plays a deadly game of cat and mouse with the pirates, she pushes herself to survive by focusing on thoughts of her children. She’s never told them what she really does for a living, and now she might not get the chance.
While her memories make her vulnerable, motherhood makes her dangerous."

I haven't read a thriller in so long BUT this was way too intriguing to pass up!!

q o t d what was the last thriller you read? And are you like me and think reading a thriller is 10x more scary than watching one 😂 watch me turn all the lights on while I read lol

#feature // Mountains or coast: what’s your preference?

I’m happy to feature WILLA’S GROVE today and cannot wait to read this story of friendship!

Three women, from coast to coast and in between, open their mailboxes to the same intriguing invitation. Although leading entirely different lives, each has found herself at a similar, jarring crossroads. Right when these women thought they’d be comfortably settling into middle age, their carefully curated futures have turned out to be dead ends.

The sender of the invitation is Willa Silvester, who is reeling from the untimely death of her beloved husband and the reality that she must say goodbye to the small mountain town they founded together. Yet as Willa mourns her losses, an impossible question keeps staring her in the face: So now what?

Struggling to find the answer alone, fiercely independent Willa eventually calls a childhood friend who happens to be in her own world of hurt — and that’s where the idea sparks. They decide to host a weeklong interlude from life, and invite two other friends facing their own quandaries. Soon the four women converge at Willa’s Montana homestead, a place where they can learn from nature and one another as they contemplate their second acts together in the rugged wilderness of big sky country.

Thank you @lauramunsonauthor @blackstonepublishing @tlcbooktours for the gifted book! Available 3/3/2021.

🌸 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 & 𝗚𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗬 (𝗨𝗦/𝗖𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗗𝗔) 🌸

Happy Hump Day! Let’s kick it off with this beautiful book, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀 by Glendy Vanderah (pub date 4/1/21), a transcendent novel of love, loss, and self-discovery. I have one finished copy to give away to a US or Canadian reader. The book is also an Amazon First Reads selection for March and free to Amazon Prime Members.

One unbearable mistake at the edge of the forest.

In a moment of crisis, Ellis Abbey leaves her daughter, Viola, unattended—for just a few minutes. But when she returns, Viola is gone. A breaking point in an already fractured marriage, Viola’s abduction causes Ellis to disappear as well—into grief, guilt, and addiction. Convinced she can only do more harm to her family, Ellis leaves her husband and young sons, burying her desperate ache for her children deeper with every step into the mountain wildernesses she treks alone.

In a remote area of Washington, a young girl named Raven keeps secrets inside, too. She must never speak to outsiders about how her mother makes miracles spring from the earth, or about her father, whose mysterious presence sometimes frightens her. Raven spends her days learning how to use her rare gifts—and more important, how to hide them. With each lesson comes a warning of what dangers lie in the world beyond her isolated haven. But despite her mother’s cautions, Raven finds herself longing for something more.

As Ellis and Raven each confront their powerful longings, their journeys will converge in unexpected and hopeful ways, pulled together by the forces of nature, love, and family.

Thank you to @glendyvanderah @amazonpublishing and @tlcbooktours for my stunning gifted copy.

📖 BOOK FEATURE 🍹

𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐒𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐈𝐂𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐀 by @ellenbyronmariadirico

I was SO excited to read this one - after working in weddings & events for so long, this was a MUST READ cozy for me & it did NOT disappoint! This book was full of laughs, lots of family and a great mystery, and had all the makings of a perfect cozy read. 

& the recipes! Give me ALL the Italian food, forever! 

. . .

In the second installment of Maria DiRico's new Catering Hall Mystery series, Mia Carina is back in the borough of Queens, in charge of the family catering hall Belle View Banquet Manor, and keeping her nonna company. But some events--like murder at a shower--are not the kind you can schedule...

Mia's newly pregnant friend Nicole plans to hold a shower at Belle View--but Nicole also has to attend one that her competitive (and mysteriously rich) stepmother, Tina, is throwing at the fanciest place in Queens. It's a good chance for Mia to snoop on a competitor, especially since doing a search for how to run a catering hall can get you only so far.

Mia tags along at the lavish party, but the ambience suffers at Nicole's Belle View shower when a fight breaks out--and then, oddly, a long-missing and valuable stolen painting is unwrapped by the mom-to-be. Tina is clearly shocked to see it. But not as shocked as Mia is when, soon afterward, she spots the lifeless body of a party guest floating in the marina . . .

Thank you to @kensingtonpublishing @tlcbooktours for having me along this #booktour & letting me share my thoughts with you!

Ready to be inspired??

Whether or not you believe in miracles, I think anyone can be uplifted by the positivity of stopping to appreciate your circumstance. It's so easy to forget to recognize the little things in life that help move you along and if nothing else these stories are a great reminder to be a little extra thankful for that parking spot that materialized just when u needed it 😉

Thank you @tlcbooktours for continuing to provide such transformative reads 💙

Synopsis:
Do you want to believe that miracles can happen? 

Perhaps you need something greater than yourself to hold you, safely guide your way through a desperate situation, and answer your fervent prayer.

Have you wondered if something you experienced could be considered a miracle? Perhaps, at just the right time, you receive an encouraging text from a friend across the country. Or maybe it was much more dramatic. Something life-altering such as a split-second decision, an instinct, to slow your car just before the vehicle in front of you lost control. Regardless of its nature, once you have a miracle experience, big or small, you are never the same. You are changed by your miracle.

By exploring their own experiences, searching out religious texts, and collecting stories shared by others, the authors have compiled what they believe is the truest meaning of miracles. The Miracle Collectors offers inspirational stories of miracles that ripple through time and space changing the lives of others.
Readers will learn to recognize and celebrate miracles for the gift of grace that they are.

Today I'm delighted to be working with @tlcbooktours and featuring 𝘓𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘴 by @jenniferhillierbooks

This book was on my list of anticipated reads back in May last year upon its US release and is finally out in the UK tomorrow.
___

𝐒𝐘𝐍𝐎𝐏𝐒𝐈𝐒:
All it takes to unravel a life... is one home truth.

Marin used to have it all. She's married to the love of her life, Derek, she owns a chain of upscale hair salons, and is admired in her community as head of a loving family. Until the world falls apart the day her son Sebastian is taken...

A year later, Marin is a shadow of herself. The police search has gone cold. The publicity has faded. She and her husband rarely speak. With her sanity ebbing, Marin hires a private investigator to pick up where the police left off.

But instead of finding Sebastian, she learns that Derek is having an affair with a much younger woman. This discovery sparks Marin back to life. She's lost her son; she's not about to lose her husband. Derek's mistress is an enemy with a face, which means this is a problem Marin can fix. Permanently.

I am so excited to finally read this as I became an instant fan of Ms Hillier when I read Jar of Hearts. Plus, we all know how much I love a great crime series and this is the first in the Revolution Spy Series.

Synopsis:

All the Cowboys Ain’t Gone is the rollicking adventure story of Lincoln Smith, a young Texan living at the beginning of the twentieth century, who thinks of himself as the last true cowboy. He longs for the days of the Old West, when men like his father, a famous Texas Ranger, lived by the chivalric code.

Lincoln finds himself hopelessly out of time and place in the fast-changing United States of the new century. When he gets his heart broken by a sweetheart who doesn’t appreciate his anachronistic tendencies, he does what any sensible young romantic would do: he joins the French Foreign Legion.

On his way to an ancient and exotic country at the edge of the Sahara, Lincoln encounters a number of curious characters and strange adventures, from a desert hermit who can slow up time to a battle with a crocodile cult that worships the god of death. He meets them all with his own charming brand of courage and resourcefulness.

This slow, sweet story told in a multi perspective narrative is set in the small, sleepy town of Moab, Florida in the 1950’s.  Here folks live for ice cream socials, news of Jackie Robinson + the Brooklyn Dodgers, and the local paper’s weekly gossip column. Sheriff Winston Browne is used to handling the daily dramas that keep life interesting. But just after Winston receives terrible, life-altering news about his health, a feisty little girl with mysterious origins shows up in his friend’s henhouse. Suddenly Winston has a child in need of protection—as well as a secret of his own to keep.⁣
⁣
With the help of Moab’s goodhearted townsfolk, the humble and well-meaning Winston Browne still has some heroic things to do. He finds romance, family, and love in unexpected places. He stumbles upon adventure, searches his soul, and grapples with the past. ⁣
⁣
This second chance story will warm your heart with this rich and nostalgic tale about community, kindness, and the meaning of the everyday incredible.  I loved all the baseball references!! ⁣

Life hack- pour the Starbucks tea you never had a chance to drink on Saturday into a fancy cup with ice cubes so Monday doesn’t feel so...Monday.

The Stills by Jess Montgomery is the third in the Kinship series (preceded by The Hollows and The Widows). I love when a story continues through the same town and cast of characters! Have you read these? The Stills is out 3/9!

Q u e s t i o n⁣
Do you read historical fiction?✨⁣
⁣
I don't very often but when I do it's usually a historical/gothic thriller. My favorites being those with an asylum setting!⁣

⁣
Thank you @tlcbooktours and @amazonpublishing for my copy of AFTER ALICE FELL by Kim Taylor Blakemore!⁣
⁣
{SYNOPSIS}⁣
Until she discovers the truth of her sister’s death, no one will rest in peace.⁣
⁣
New Hampshire, 1865. Marion Abbott is summoned to Brawders House asylum to collect the body of her sister, Alice. She’d been found dead after falling four stories from a steep-pitched roof. Officially: an accident. Confidentially: suicide. But Marion believes a third option: murder.⁣
Returning to her family home to stay with her brother and his second wife, the recently widowed Marion is expected to quiet her feelings of guilt and grief—to let go of the dead and embrace the living. But that’s not easy in this house full of haunting memories.⁣
⁣
Just when the search for the truth seems hopeless, a stranger approaches Marion with chilling words: I saw her fall.⁣
Now Marion is more determined than ever to find out what happened that night at Brawders, and why. With no one she can trust, Marion may risk her own life to uncover the secrets buried with Alice in the family plot.⁣

Thank you to @tlcbooktours @harpervia and @maja.lunde for the #gifted copy!⁣
⁣
Do gorgeous book covers grab your attention? Or are you immune to them?⁣
⁣
When I first saw the cover for The End of the Ocean, I knew that I wanted a copy.  When I read the synopsis, I knew I would need to read it as well. ⁣
⁣
In this family saga that just released on February 9th, we find a father & daughter on a journey that begins where the water ends.⁣
⁣
Written by the author of the number-one international bestseller, The History Of Bees, this is a story of nature and the human spirit or exploration, resiliency and risk.⁣
⁣
With a dystopian bent, we embark on a journey with David and his daughter Loud, who are in the midst of a horrific drought and fighting to survive.  As they flee their home to find safety, they find Signe's abadoned sailboat and begin to weave together her story with theirs showing us the tenacity of the human spirit.⁣
⁣
If you love a dystopian setting/journey mixed with character development and family relationships, this one is probably for you as well!⁣

What a great book to kick off Women’s History Mo What a great book to kick off Women’s History Month 👙 Repost from @itsbibliotherapy

♥️ Happy Women’s History Month! ♥️

What book mail have you received recently? 📬 I was thrilled when a #gifted copy of A Boob’s Life by Leslie Lehr arrived on my doorstep!  This gem is out tomorrow, March 2nd, just in time to kick off a month all about women! 🎉 See the synopsis below, and prepare to be intrigued.👇🏼

“At turns funny and heartbreaking, A Boob’s Life explores both the joys and hazards inherent to living in a woman’s body. Lehr deftly blends her personal narrative with national history, starting in the 1960s with the women’s liberation movement and moving to the current feminist dialogue and what it means to be a woman. Her insightful and clever writing analyzes how America’s obsession with the female form has affected her own life’s journey and the psyche of all women today.” 💁🏻‍♀️
