Book Clubs will explore the special sibling relationship in

Sisters One, Two, Three.

Sisters One, Two, Three by Nancy Star

After a tragic accident on Martha’s Vineyard, keeping secrets becomes a way of life for the Tangle family. With memories locked away, the sisters take divergent paths. Callie disappears, Mimi keeps so busy she has no time to think, and Ginger develops a lifelong aversion to risk that threatens the relationships she holds most dear.

When a whispered comment overheard by her rebellious teenage daughter forces Ginger to reveal a long-held family secret, the Tangles’ carefully constructed web of lies begins to unravel. Upon the death of Glory, the family’s colorful matriarch, and the return of long-estranged Callie, Ginger resolves to return to Martha’s Vineyard and piece together what really happened on that calamitous day when a shadow fell over four sun-kissed siblings playing at the shore. Along with Ginger’s newfound understanding come the keys to reconciliation: with her mother, with her sisters, and with her daughter.

At turns heartbreaking, humorous, and hopeful, Sisters One, Two, Three explores not only the consequences of secrets—even secrets kept out of love—but also the courage it takes to speak the truth, to forgive, and to let go.

“An extraordinarily moving, beautifully written novel, Sisters One, Two, Three is a searing portrait of a family haunted by tragedy and fractured by the toxic power of secrets. As the story progresses, we grow to know and love the fierce and eccentric Tangles, a family at once familiar and like no other. I was riveted from the first page.” —Christina Baker Kline, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Orphan Train

“With delightful wit and the prowess of an expert story teller, Star offers profound insight into the maternal heart in this deftly braided tale of the utterly original Tangles. Sisters One, Two, Three begs to be read in one big gulp—and will leave you with a lasting understanding of the treacherous balance between love and autonomy.” —Lisa Gornick, author of Louisa Meets Bear

“Witty, compelling, and wise, Sisters One, Two, Three is the kind of novel I always crave but rarely find. Glory Tangle’s relationship with her children, both as kids and as grown ups, is as real as it gets. She’s a fantastic character, a match for the surprises to be found in the perfectly evoked island setting of Martha’s Vineyard. I really loved each of the three sisters, too, and was very nervous for all of them! Nancy Star, thank you so much for the hours I spent in these pages.” —Alice Elliott Dark, author of In The Gloaming and Think of England

“Nancy Star’s gripping novel of mothers and daughters and sisters shows us how we can never escape our families—and why that may be our salvation. Full of surprising twists and deep emotional insights, Sisters One, Two, Three will keep you glued to your beach chair, casting worried glances at those little clouds threatening to gather into a storm. This book will transform the way you see your own family’s past and its future along with the way you experience the power of now.” —Pamela Redmond Satran, author of Younger

“What is it that fascinates us about the bonds between sisters? There have been many great stories about that special bond and this is no exception. Enter the Tangle sisters, held together by love, common experience, and a web of secrets. From cautious Ginger, to adventurous Callie, to busy bee Mimi, you won’t be able to help seeing yourself in this family, the things that pull it apart and ultimately tie it back together. Set some time aside to read this gem; you won’t regret it.” —Catherine McKenzie, bestselling author of Hidden and Fractured

Book Clubs will love this intimate portrait of the folly of the human heart!

Breaking and Holding

Breaking and Holding by Judy Fogarty

For Patricia Curren, the summer of 1978 begins with a devastating discovery: an unfamiliar black pearl button in the bed she shares with her controlling husband, Jack. Seeking the courage to end her desolate marriage, Patricia spends a quiet summer alone on beautiful Kiawah Island. But when she meets Terry Sloan, a collegiate tennis player trying to go pro, their physical attraction sparks a slow burn toward obsession.

Once Patricia and Terry share closely guarded secrets from their pasts, they want more than a summer together. But their love soon fractures, as a potential sponsor takes an unusually keen interest in Terry—both on court and off. And when single, career-driven Lynn Hewitt arrives, other secrets must surface, including the one Patricia has kept from Terry all summer.

An intimate portrait of the folly of the human heart, Breaking and Holding explores buried truths that are startlingly unveiled. What’s left in their wake has the power not only to shatter lives…but to redeem them.

Charming and entertaining! Book Clubs will love

Lord of the Privateers

Lord of the Privateers by Stephanie Laurens

The eldest of the Frobisher brothers and widely known as the lord of the privateers, Royd Frobisher expects to execute the final leg of the rescue mission his brothers have been pursuing. What he does not expect is to be pressured into taking his emotional nemesis, childhood sweetheart, ex-handfasted bride, and current business partner, Isobel Carmichael, with him. But is it Isobel doing the pressuring, or his own restless unfulfilled psyche?

Resolute, determined, and an all but unstoppable force of nature, Isobel has a mission of her own—find her cousin Katherine and bring her safely home. And if, along the way, she can rid herself of the lingering dreams of a life with Royd that still haunt her, well and good.

Neither expects the shock that awaits them as they set sail aboard Royd’s ship, much less the new horizons that open before them as they call into London, then, armed with the necessary orders and all arrangements in place, embark on a full-scale rescue-assault on the mining compound buried in the jungle.

Yet even with the support of his brothers and their ladies and, once rescued, all the ex-captives, Royd and Isobel discover that freeing the captives is only half the battle. In order to identify and convict the backers behind the illicit enterprise—and protect the government from catastrophic destabilization—they must return to the ballrooms of the haut ton, and with the help of a small army of supporters, hunt the villains on their home ground.

But having found each other again, having glimpsed the heaven that could be theirs again, how much are they willing to risk in the name of duty?

Praise for the works of Stephanie Laurens

“Stephanie Laurens’ heroines are marvelous tributes to Georgette Heyer: feisty and strong.” —Cathy Kelly

“Stephanie Laurens never fails to entertain and charm her readers with vibrant plots, snappy dialogue, and unforgettable characters.” —Historical Romance Reviews

“Stephanie Laurens plays into readers’ fantasies like a master and claims their hearts time and again.” —Romantic Times Magazine

The Worthington Wife

The Worthington Wife by Sharon Page

Sharon Page sparkles in this poignant and irresistibly entertaining follow-up to her breakout novel, An American Duchess 

Lady Julia Hazelton is the most dazzling among 1920s England’s bright young things. But rather than choosing the thrill of wanton adventure like so many of her contemporaries, Julia shocks society with her bold business aspirations. Determined to usher the cursed Worthington estate into a prosperous, modern new era, and thus preserve her beloved late fiancé’s legacy, the willful Julia tackles her wildest, most unexpected adventure in Cal Carstairs, the reluctant new Earl of Worthington.

The unconventional American artist threatens everything Julia seeks to protect while stirring desires she thought had died in the war. For reasons of his own, Cal has designed the ultimate revenge. Rather than see the estate prosper, he intends to destroy it. But their impulsive marriage—one that secures Julia’s plans as well as Cal’s secrets—proves that passion is ambition’s greatest rival. Unless Cal ends his quest to satisfy his darkest vendetta, he stands to ruin his Worthington wife and all her glittering dreams.

The Children’s Train - Viola Ardone

Today’s feature is an emotional post-WWII story based on true events & set in Italy. 

Synopsis: Though Mussolini and the fascists have been defeated, the war has devastated Italy, especially the south. Seven-year-old Amerigo lives with his mother Antonietta in Naples, surviving on odd jobs and his wits like the rest of the poor in his neighborhood. But one day, Amerigo learns that a train will take him away from the rubble-strewn streets of the city to spend the winter with a family in the north, where he will be safe and have warm clothes and food to eat.

Together with thousands of other southern children, Amerigo will cross the entire peninsula to a new life. Through his curious, innocent eyes, we see a nation rising from the ashes of war, reborn. As he comes to enjoy his new surroundings and the possibilities for a better future, Amerigo will make the heartbreaking choice to leave his mother and become a member of his adoptive family.
Amerigo’s journey is a moving story of memory, indelible bonds, artistry, and self-exploration, and a soaring examination of what family can truly mean. Ultimately Amerigo comes to understand that sometimes we must give up everything, even a mother’s love, to find our destiny.

Thank you to @tlcbooktours and @harperviabooks for the gifted copy!

Who doesn’t love animal behavior? Especially these days, to be honest, when the humans seem to be letting us down so…

I’m thrilled to be part of TLC’s book tour for Wild Rituals, in which author Caitlin O’Connell, PhD--a faculty member at Harvard Med School, behavioral ecologist & world-renowned elephant scientist as well an award-winning author who spent more than 30 years studying animals in the wild—dives into the rituals of elephants, apes, zebras, rhinos, lions, whales, flamingos & many more.

Wild Rituals explores how embracing the rituals of the animal kingdom can make us more connected to ourselves, nature, & others; if we better understand how we are similar to wild animals, we can find healing, self-awareness, community & self-reinvention. The book covers 10 different animal rituals & features full-color photos, from the Caribbean to the African savannah, as O’Connell documents her journeys into the desert, tundra & rainforest, revealing how animals can help us find a simpler, more meaningful way of life. We are actually profoundly similar to the wild creatures who captivate us & this remarkable book taps into the unspoken languages of creatures around the world.

In a culture of technology where we find ourselves living at a greater distance from nature & each other, this one is sure to help us see how to connect more deeply and meaningfully again.

Thank you @tlcbooktours for my advanced copy of I FOUND LOVE, out today! Very excited for this one & I already know my sister will want to borrow after. 
———————
SYNOPSIS: 
From the influential and ever-growing movement I Am Second, a remarkable collection of stories of people searching for and finding love.

When I Am Second launched in 2008, the organization intended simply to tell stories of lives changed utterly by people placing God first and themselves second. Although the organization has exploded in size and influence since, that original mission has remained the same–and continues to have enormous power and influence today. I Found Love is the highly anticipated new book from I Am Second, gathering together stories of people who searched everywhere for fulfillment and wholeness and found it only when they surrendered to God. People whose stories appear include the following, among others: David and Tamela Mann, Jason Castro, Sean Lowe & Stephen Baldwin. Moving, compelling, and profoundly inspiring, the stories found here remind us that our hearts will always be restless until they find their rest in God and always unsatisfied until we find the love of God.

@tlcbooktours is celebrating the tour for A CHILD LOST by @michellecoxwrites with a giveaway for a $100 Amazon gift card! Head over to @tlcbooktours for details. 

A CHILD LOST is the latest in the Henrietta and Inspector Howard series. You can even listen to the whole series on audio!  Use the link for @librofm in today’s story to get the first book free!

I admit this is my first Michelle Cox book, but it definitely won’t be the last!  This is actually the FIFTH book that features the power duo of Henrietta Von Harmon and Inspector Clive Howard, but it read well as a stand alone.

All of these books are historical mysteries set in 1930’s Chicago.  In this story, Henrietta is suffering from depression after a recent miscarriage. Clive takes on a new case hoping to boost the baby blues for Henrietta. Meanwhile Henrietta’s sister has asked her to help her beau in a missing persons case.  Both cases are more than they bargained for and weave together the mystery of a spiritualist, an insane asylum, and a lost girl.

The writing style fully immerses you in the story!  It is incredibly detailed, full of classic twists and turns, and the historical elements are well researched.  The Mundelein Seminary, Bohemian Home for Orphans and Dunning Asylum (also called the Tomb for the Living) are all real places.  The story exposes the horrific range of treatment back then for patients dealing with mental illness and the system so rife with abuse.

I devoured this book in one sitting!  It is a truly entertaining and suspenseful page turner.  I think fans of both mystery and historical fiction will enjoy the story.  It does make me want to go back and read her earlier books to fully appreciate how Henrietta and Clives relationship has grown. 

Don’t forget to head to @tlcbooktours for the Amazon Gift Card giveaway!

CW:  miscarriage , depression, mental health, missing child, and domestic violence.

Today is my tour stop with @tlcbooktours @harperviabooks @allendeisabel for Maya’s Notebook and Ripper

MAYA’S NOTEBOOK

Nineteen-year-old Maya Vidal grew up in a rambling old house in Berkeley with her grandmother Nini—a force of nature whose formidable strength helped her build a new life after she emigrated from Chile in 1973—and Popo, an African-American astronomer and professor whose solid, comforting presence helps calm the turbulence of Maya’s adolescence.
When Popo dies of cancer, Maya comes undone and turns to drugs, alcohol, and petty crime. When she becomes lost in the dangerous underworld of Las Vegas, Maya becomes caught in the crosshairs of deadly warring forces. Her one chance for survival is Nini, who helps her escape to a remote island off the coast of Chile. Here, Maya tries to make sense of the past to discover the truth about her life and her family, and embarks on her greatest adventure: a journey of self-discovery and forgiveness.

RIPPER

Though they are as different as night and day, Indiana and Amanda Jackson have always shared a strong, mother-daughter bond. Beautiful and free-spirited, Indiana is a holistic healer. Teenage Amanda is a natural sleuth fascinated by the dark side of human nature like her father, the SFPD’s deputy chief of homicide. She also loves playing Ripper, an online mystery game.
When a serial killer strikes San Francisco, the young amateur detective plunges into her own investigation. But the case becomes all too personal when Indiana vanishes. Could her mother’s disappearance be linked to the murders? With Indiana’s life on the line, Amanda must solve this perplexing mystery . . . before it’s too late.

Wild Rituals by Caitlin O’Connell (featuring a wild Gidget)

If you’re interested in animals, psychology, or understanding human connection, then this book is for you!

Wild Rituals explores the human and animal behaviors that show our deep need for connection. Everything from greetings to body language to play are essential to wellbeing and a sense of community. Caitlin O’Connell uses her 30+ years of experience to provide immersive accounts that make you feel like you’re watching the animals yourself.

I love how she related many examples to the pandemic. At a time when we are physically isolated, we crave connection more than ever. 

This is a fascinating read and there is a 100% chance I will share fun facts from it. Don’t miss this book out TODAY!

I am back!!! It’s 2021 and I thought hard about how I’d return to bookstagram, and it hit me. Rather than pick a new book, why not celebrate the paperback release of one of my FAVORITE books I read in 2020???

If you haven’t had a chance to read THE HOLLOWS by Jess Montgomery yet, now is a perfect time to start because it’s new in paperback! You can also find some giveaways if you head over to @tlcbooktours page 💕 Let’s ring in 2021 with books that will whisk you away into a fascinating mystery!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Ohio, 1926: For many years, the railroad track in Moonvale Tunnel has been used as a shortcut through the Appalachian hills. When an elderly woman is killed walking along the tracks, the brakeman tells tales of seeing a ghostly female figure dressed all in white.

Newly elected Sheriff Lily Ross is called on to the case to dispel the myths. With the help of her friends Marvena Whitcomb and Hildy Cooper, Lily follows the woman’s trail to The Hollows—a notorious asylum—and they begin to expose dark secrets long-hidden by time and the mountains.

American socialite Lily Durham is known for enjoying one moment to the next, with little regard for the consequences of her actions. But just as she is banished overseas to England as a “cure” for her frivolous ways, the Great War breaks out and wreaks havoc. She joins her cousin in nursing the wounded at a convalescent home deep in the wilds of Scotland at a crumbling castle where its laird is less than welcoming. Alec MacGregor has given his entire life to preserving his home of Kinclavoch Castle, but mounting debts force him to sell off his family history bit by bit. Labeled a coward for not joining his countrymen in the trenches due to an old injury, he opens his home to the Tommies to make recompense while he keeps to the shadows. But his preference for the shadows is shattered when a new American nurse comes streaming into the castle on a burst of light. Lily and Alec are thrown together when a series of mysterious events threatens to ruin the future of Kinclavoch. Can they put aside their differences to find the culprit before it’s too late, or will their greatest distraction be falling in love? (Goodreads Synopsis)

So my go to historical fiction has always been WWII, but I have become so much more interested in The Great War recently. There aren’t as many books about that time frame, and I want to learn more! So when I find a book about that time I jump on it! I cannot wait to start reading this one!

Thank you to @tlcbooktours for my gifted copy of this book!

Synopsis: “When I Am Second launched in 2008, the organization intended simply to tell stories of lives changed utterly by people placing God first and themselves second. Although the organization has exploded in size and influence since, that original mission has remained the same–and continues to have enormous power and influence today. Moving, compelling, and profoundly inspiring, the stories found here remind us that our hearts will always be restless until they find their rest in God and always unsatisfied until we find the love of God.”

This book reminds me of the chicken soup for the soul books I used to read as a teenager- and cannot wait to read and discuss this! Pub day is tomorrow so be on the lookout for this beauty!

Book description:⁣
The streets of London are paved with gold ...allegedly. They may be twin sisters, but Lizzie and Penny Berry are complete opposites - Penny is blonde, thin and outrageous; Lizzie quiet, thoughtful and definitely not thin. The one trait they do share is a desire to DO something with their lives, and as far as they are concerned, the place to get noticed is London. Out of the blue they discover they have a grandmother living in Chelsea - and when she has to go into hospital, they find themselves flat-sitting on the King's Road. But, as they discover, it's not as easy to become It Girls as they'd imagined, and west end boys aren't at all like Hugh Grant ...⁣

⁣
Scotland Yard detective Ian Rutledge is assigned one of the most baffling investigations of his career—a cold murder case with an unidentified victim and a cold trail with few clues to follow.⁣
⁣
Chief Inspector Brian Leslie, a respected colleague of Ian Rutledge’s, is sent to Avebury, a village set inside a great prehistoric stone circle not far from Stonehenge.⁣
⁣
A young woman has been murdered next to a mysterious, hooded, figure-like stone, but no one recognizes her—or admits to it. And how did she get there? Despite a thorough investigation, it appears that her killer has simply vanished.⁣
⁣
Rutledge, returning from the conclusion of a case involving another apparently unknown woman, is asked to take a second look at Leslie’s inquiry, to see if he can identify this victim. But Rutledge is convinced Chief Superintendent Jameson only hopes to tarnish his earlier success once he also fails.⁣
⁣
Where to begin? He too finds very little to go on in Avebury, slowly widening his search beyond the village—only to discover that unlikely—possibly even unreliable—clues are pointing him toward an impossible solution, one that will draw the wrath of the Yard down on him, and very likely see him dismissed if he pursues it. But what about the victim—what does he owe this tragic woman? Where must his loyalty lie?⁣

Good evening! I got nothing today. It’s been raining all day and I had dogs to walk so it was a very very damp day 😬. Being damp all day makes for a long day. But now I’m comfy on the couch and about to read for a bit before dinner!⁣

Thank you to @tlcbooktours for including me in the tour for Betrayal at Ravenswick! If you love a good historical mystery check this series out!⁣
.⁣
Synopsis: Desperate to get out of London, and determined to help the war effort and stop thinking about her philandering husband, Fiona Figg volunteers to go undercover.⁣
At Ravenswick Abbey a charming South African war correspondent has tongues wagging. His friends say he's a crack huntsman. The War Office is convinced he's a traitor. Fiona thinks he's a pompous prig.⁣
What sort of name is Fredrick Fredricks anyway?⁣
Too bad Fiona doesn't own a Wolseley pith helmet. At Ravenswick a murderer is on the prowl, and it's not just the big-game hunter who's ready to pounce.⁣

A new Jenny Colgan book!!!! Thanks @tlcbooktours for sending me a copy! Ok not technically new since it was first published in the UK in 2006, but it's now coming to the US!! West End Girls features twins that set off to London to make their dreams come true.⁣
⁣
Penny and Lizzie may have almost nothing in common, but they both long for the excitement and possibilities of the big city. But when they are offered a chance to house sit in London, they start to realize this lifestyle may not be exactly what they expected.⁣
⁣
It's no secret that I absolutely adore every single book Jenny has written, so I'm beyond excited that there's a new one available to me now. Plus, I can't wait to visit London again so it'll be so much fun to read about places there. The US version comes out on Jan 5 so you can order it now and get it this Tuesday!!⁣

I'm always looking for more tools for my parenting I'm always looking for more tools for my parenting toolbox, and I think empathy is such a wonderful, universal tool!⁣

"Learning to stand in somebody else's shoes, to see through their eyes, that's how peace begins. And it's up to you to make that happen. Empathy is a quality of character that can change the world." - Barack Obama⁣

I've always considered myself to be a very sensitive and empathetic person, so when TLC Book Tours reached out to me and asked if I wanted to be on the book tour for Lynne Azarchi @lynneazarchi 's The Empathy Advantage, I was absolutely onboard.⁣
⁣
❤❤⁣
⁣
As a parent, this year has been more challenging. While I've loved having more time with my two little boys, the line between parent and educator has definitely blurred, and while I wish I could say that I've always been patient, empathetic, and understanding during this year's more stressful and taxing times, as a mom and human, I'm most definitely flawed, always learning, and perpetually a work in progress. And that's where this book has been so helpful!⁣
⁣

This book is "for the busiest parents, caregivers and educators. It provides tips, recommendations, online resources, and activities that are fun and engaging and take just about ten to twenty minutes," and it's written in an engaging and accessible way. From talking about being a good role model and the importance of being present and spending quality time with your child, to teaching the importance of standing up for yourself, active listening, and self-compassion, this book is a treasure trove of information that everyone can use at a time when empathy is so important and needed.⁣
⁣

⁣
Thank you so much to Lynne, Rowman & Littlefield, and TLC Book Tours for having me on this tour. Definitely check this book out; you'll be so glad you did!⁣

Ya’ll know that I love a good cozy mystery every now and then, but what you don’t know is that that love started with @elleryadams! The first cozy mystery I ever read was her novel The Secret, Book, & Scone Society (Book 1 in the Secret, Book, & Scone Society series)! Which is why I’m so excited to be featuring The Book of Candlelight today, Book 3 in that same series!
.
If you’re looking to try out a cozy mystery for the first time or already have a bunch of cozies under your reading belt, make sure you check out this series!
.
Sʏɴᴏᴘsɪs:
In the new Secret, Book, and Scone Society novel from New York Times bestselling author Ellery Adams, the rain in Miracle Springs, North Carolina, has been relentless—and a flood of trouble is about to be unleashed . . . 
  
As the owner of Miracle Books, Nora Pennington figures all the wet weather this spring is at least good for business. The local inns are packed with stranded travelers, and among them Nora finds both new customers and a new friend, the sixtysomething Sheldon, who starts helping out at the store. 
  
Since a little rain never hurt anyone, Nora rides her bike over to the flea market one sodden day and buys a bowl from Danny, a Cherokee potter. It’ll make a great present for Nora’s EMT boyfriend, but the next day, a little rain turns into a lot of rain, and the Miracle River overflows it banks. Amid the wreckage of a collapsed footbridge, Danny's body lies within the churning water. 
  
Nora and the sheriff both doubt the ruling of accidental drowning, and Nora decides it’s time for the Secret, Book, and Scone Society to spring into action. When another body turns up, it becomes clearer that Danny’s death can’t be blamed on a natural disaster. A crucial clue may lie within the stone walls of the Inn of Mist and Roses: a diary, over a century old and spattered with candle wax, that leads Nora and her friends through a maze of intrigue—and onto the trail of a murderer . . .
.
Big thanks to @tlcbooktours, @elleryadams and @kensingtonbooks for the gifted copy!
