Lydia Kang, author of A Beautiful Poison, on tour August 2017

May 22, 2017 By TLC Booktours Leave a Comment

About A Beautiful Poison

  • Paperback: 350 pages
  • Publisher: Lake Union Publishing (August 1, 2017)

Just beyond the Gilded Age, in the mist-covered streets of New York, the deadly Spanish influenza ripples through the city. But with so many victims in her close circle, young socialite Allene questions if the flu is really to blame. All appear to have been poisoned—and every death was accompanied by a mysterious note.

Desperate for answers and dreading her own engagement to a wealthy gentleman, Allene returns to her passion for scientific discovery and recruits her long-lost friends, Jasper and Birdie, for help. The investigation brings her closer to Jasper, an apprentice medical examiner at Bellevue Hospital who still holds her heart, and offers the delicate Birdie a last-ditch chance to find a safe haven before her fragile health fails.

As more of their friends and family die, alliances shift, lives become entangled, and the three begin to suspect everyone—even each other. As they race to find the culprit, Allene, Birdie, and Jasper must once again trust each other, before one of them becomes the next victim.

#partner | Filled with stunning images from the US National Parks, this book gave me some serious wanderlust. My daughter and I thumbed through the pages together and kept saying, “Oooh, I want to go there!” And then we’d turn the page and say, “No, there!”⁣
.⁣
So many times we dream of beaches far away for our next vacation, but I think we’re all guilty of realizing the beauty of our own backyards. This book makes me want to sell all my possessions, buy an RV, and travel across the United States to visit all these breathtaking places. From Denali National Park in Alaska to Everglades National Park in Florida, there’s endless terrain to explore…all right here, no passport necessary!⁣
.⁣
This book would make a great gift for the nature lover in your family. It sits on my coffee table and company always picks it up and starts flipping the pages. Inevitably, it starts some fun conversations as it’s also packed with interesting facts.⁣
.⁣
What’s the best place you’ve ever visited in the United States?

I’m going to #Estonia for Christmas. Fingers crossed it will be cold and snowing. We are staying in an Airbnb flat in Tallinn's old town next to the magical #ChristmasMarket. Apparently #Tallinn is the most Googled Christmas destination in Europe lately. I hope it will be good. Everyone says the food is amazing in Estonia.

The book on my table is Wanderlust: A Traveler’s Guide to the Globe published by @moonguides. It’s the most amazing coffee  table book for travellers. This stunning, hardcover book is packed with full-colour photos, charming illustrations and fascinating overviews of each destination, making it the perfect gift for dreamers and adventurers. Discover and uncover your next great adventure. Great Wall of China, Atlas Mountains,  Patagonia, stunning national parks in Yellowstone in the US, Tongariro in New Zealand, the Gobi Desert or the Greek Islands.

The book is gifted by @moonguides and as always my opinions are entirely mine.

Thank you @tlcbooktours @kensingtonbooks #partner for gifting me this amazing book Death Brings A Shadow by Rosemary Simpson. If anyone on your holiday list loves a good historical thriller check this out!
🌟
Synopsis: In spring 1889, Prudence and Geoffrey set sail from New York Harbor on a private yacht bound for Bradford Island, where her friend Eleanor Dickson is to be wed. The Sea Islands along the Georgia coast serve as a winter playground for the likes of the Carnegies, Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, and Dicksons. Despite her Yankee pedigree, Eleanor is marrying a Southern gentleman, Teddy Bennett, and Prudence is thrilled to be the maid of honor. 
But days before the wedding, the bride is nowhere to be found. A frantic search of the island turns up her drowned corpse in an alligator-infested swamp. Prudence is devastated, but as they prepare the body for burial, she and Geoffrey discover evidence of bruising that indicates Eleanor was held under—most dishonorably murdered. 
Determined to seek justice for her beloved friend, Prudence begins to investigate with Geoffrey's help and is quickly led into a morass of voodoo spells and dark deeds from the days of slavery. As Prudence and Geoffrey pursue a killer, they soon discover that Eleanor will not be the last to die on Bradford Island …

This dog changed my life, & I’ll never stop being grateful. Dogs can be the most loyal companions, the most steadfast friends, & wonderful little space heaters on snowy days like today. ⁣
⁣
It’s only natural that I would transition into reading dog books like this one! Written by the author of Pay it Forward, one of my all time favorite movies, I knew that this was one that I had to read. Dogs, emotion, & a story that’s bound to leave me in tears? Sign. Me. Up. ⁣

A huge thank you to @tlcbooktours for sending me a copy of Stay by Catherine Ryan Hyde!

#ad | Besides reading, one of my main interests is traveling and learning about unique locations to add to my bucket list! @mooondguides recently came out with an epic new book that I think makes for a great holiday gift -- Wanderlust: A Traveler's Guide to the Globe. It has detailed information on everything from the best places to stargaze, reversing rivers, blooming deserts, fluorescent blue haze, and even the Aurora Boreales. Plus, the images and page designs are stunning (I'll do a little flip through on my stories)! I highly recommend checking this one out if you're an adventurous traveler and love cultural treasures.

Thank you again to @moonguides for the free copy of this beautiful book, and as always all opinions expressed in this post are entirely my own!

If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you want to go?⁣

I love seeing new places so the list of destinations I want to explore is always growing. After reading this book from National Geographic I have now added a ton of national parks to that list! Thank you so much @tlcbooktours for sending me this gorgeous book. Whether you are consumed by wanderlust or you just love looking at beautiful photos and reading interesting facts about different parks than I highly suggest picking up this huge book. It would make such a great holiday gift! Swipe over to see some of the national parks I thought were 🙌🏻 Also I totally noticed after choosing a few of my favorites that I guess I am drawn to places that include water.

Have you read this series? This new one came out just this week, so you can get it now. It concludes the heartbreaking love story between Julian and Josephine. If you are looking for an epic love story that spans lifetimes this is it. They were ready for anything...except the end. .

Thank you @natgeo for the free books • Any history buffs out there? I have one more new release from National Geographic to share with you - History at a Glance!⁣
•⁣
Have you ever felt like it’s hard to get a grasp on worldwide history from books? We often only get a snippet of what happened in one country or continent, without the context of worldwide events. National Geographic has done a phenomenal job of putting together timelines across history, from prehistoric to modern times, of events on every continent.⁣
•⁣
I find it absolutely fascinating to page through this and see the pieces of world history fit together. And although this is obviously too advanced for my kindergartner, I think that in future years he will learn so much from it.⁣
•⁣
I’m already thinking about who on my Christmas list would enjoy this book - do you have any history lovers in your life?⁣
•⁣
Thank you @tlcbooktours @natgeo for the free book.
Instagram post 2190256884083480362_1187955687 I'm going to buy a copy of this book for some family that has been checking off a lot of national parks the past few years!⁣

#review / Thank you to @tlcbooktours and @natgeo for sending me this gorgeous Atlas of the National Parks by Jon Waterman!⁣
.⁣
As a child my parents liked to take us kids for drives and camping trips. Luckily we lived in Washington State where we could do day trips to the Cascade National Park. We also went to the Olympic National Park regularly. I still have a love for exploring! I've been to 8 of the 61 National Parks.⁣
.⁣
Do you have a favorite National Park?⁣
My favorite National Park is Yellowstone! Alcatraz Island is my absolute favorite National Historic Site.⁣
.⁣
Atlas of the National Parks combines park maps with encyclopedia-like knowledge. National Geographic and the National Parks were partners before National Parks were even a thing! President Teddy Roosevelt created the United States Forest Service in 1905. As expected, the photos in this Atlas are stunning! The Atlas talks of how climate change, animals, human population, invasive species, and politics have impacted the National Parks over the years. 33 of the National Parks are explored in depth in the Atlas while the remaining 28 have smaller sections.⁣
Let's keep those National Parks safe! I have 53 more parks to visit!

(Thank you to @tlcbooktours and @williammorrowbooks for the complimentary copy). Happy Tuesday! Are you a series/trilogy reader, and do you have a favorite? Have you read The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons? I have not read the latter- yet- though I own them (AND even though my friend @loveofmuse has promised me I'll love them (I'm certain I will too!)), but I have read the first two in the End of Forever saga by Simons, and I have been enthralled! Simons definitely has her own engaging style, and Inexpressible Island is set to be another winner!⁣

The greatest risk—for the sweetest reward…

His fiancée’s betrayal nearly cost Jacques Laurent everything. Despite his resolve not to trust anyone again, he can’t abandon the young woman he finds alone on the road to London. In the brief hours they spend together, the enigmatic Diana touches his heart in a way he can’t explain. Even after bringing her to the Everton Domestic Society for safekeeping, he can’t get her out of his thoughts. And when he next encounters her, working as assistant to a renowned scientist, he becomes even more intrigued…

The Society’s kindness is especially welcome after everything Diana endured in a French prison, but she fears for the safety of those who get close to her. French spies are on her trail, convinced that her scientific knowledge can help them win the war. As peril draws them irrevocably together, Diana and Jacques succumb to mutual desire. But love may be the most dangerous pursuit of all, when a lady guards her heart even more carefully than she guards her life . . . •
