Thank you @tlcbooktours @harpercollins for including me on the tour of When Stars Rain Down by @angelajacksonbrownauthor
🖤🤍

👉🏽Review👈🏽
The author is a playwright and poet which is evident in her words.

The story takes place in 1936 Parsons, Georgia. Opal Pruitt, who is just shy of 18 is being raised by her grandmother. We get to know and love Opal and the village that is raising her. They live on the “colored” side of a racially divided town.

When the klan threatens their community, it is both emotional and suspenseful.
In the midst of it all, Opal is experiencing her first love with the bad boy and PK kid Cedric.

It was easy to be invested in the story and the characters in this story. There were tough scenes of racism and the violence that comes with it. If you like historical fiction, southern stories or just a great read pick this one up! 4/12 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ .5

What was your last emotional read?

Is it time to shake up your reading with something

Is it time to shake up your reading with something different? 🌎 Repost from @hothanjama_

Some of my reading goals for 2021 include reading more Queer stories, more Own-Voice authors, more nonfiction, and more translated books and I'm in Seattle, Where Are You by Mortada Gzar encompasses all of them. This memoir is a moving tale about identity, loss, family, love, and the strength of the human spirit. A definite must read!

Are you a reader of memories? I didn't always use to be a fan but the older I get the more I want to know how others have lived their lives. How their story went because half the time I don't know where I'm going or what I'm supposed to be doing. Is that weird? I hope not.

The synopsis is available in the comments. I hope you check this beautiful book out.

A big thanks to @tlcbooktours @tlcdiversity and @amazonpublishing for sending this lovely book my way *partners ##diversereads #ownvoicesbooks #humansofbookstagram #bookrecs #bookreviews #booksofinstagram #bookclubofinstagram #bookaddict #workspaceinspo

Feature // a giant thank you to @tlcbooktours and @thomasnelson and, of course, @theholdernessfamily for my copy of this book which is one of my most anticipated reads!

What do you do to work on your relationship?

When our girls were little we were so busy driving them to soccer, gymnastics, tennis, dance, ice skating, friends’ houses…it seemed like we were two ships passing in the night and we hardly ever connected. As long as those days seem at the time, they don’t last forever and now that our girls are in college, Jason and I have been able to have more date nights - even if it’s a Covid dinner in the dining room while the girls eat in their bedrooms.

After nearly 25 years of marriage we know each other’s triggers and we accept and work with them, which means that we don’t fight as much as we used to. But we both have very different styles of fighting. Jason gets quiet and retreats, sometimes even leaves and goes to a friend’s house; I, on the other hand, have a temper and want to scream and yell and him leaving mid-fight really just ups the ante for me and makes me furious. So when I heard that @theholdernessfamily had a book about fighting -which is really a book about how to better communicate with your partner - I knew I wanted to read it!

One chapter in and I asked my husband if he would read it with me. We have both read and discussed the first two chapters. I took notes and he made a “cheat sheet” to help us remember some of their tips for communicating what you want and need from your partner.

What is your fighting style? Do you yell and scream? Or do you get quiet and leave? Do you and your partner know each other’s triggers and avoid them?

📚 BOOKS ON TOUR - The Three Mrs Greys 📚
So it’s no secret to anyone that I am a SLUT for a domestic thriller of any kind. I’m such a huge fan of them that I screamed when I was offered to tour this book by @tlcbooktours! And NOT ONLY THAT, but a BIPOC AUTHOR?! Sign me UP. Check out the synopsis below and be sure to pick this one up ASAP!📚🛁

One wealthy businessman, a trio of unsuspecting wives, and an explosive turn of events. In this scandalous, twist-filled new series from award-winning author Shelly Ellis, will too many secrets and one devastating bond unite three women–or destroy them?

Noelle. Diamond. Vanessa. Each woman believes she is Cyrus Grey’s only wife–until he’s nearly shot to death. Now, as he lies in a coma, the deceptions keep coming, unraveling everything they thought they knew…🍷🤭

This immersive dive into the life and work of Salvador Dalí unlocks the secret of this creative genius and reveals for the first time how his erotically charged paintings changed the world of modern art.⁣

In this stunning volume, rich with more than 150 full-color images, noted art historians Jean-Pierre Isbouts and Christopher Heath Brown discuss the historical, social, and political conditions that shaped Dalí’s work, identify the impact of Modern as well as Old Master art, and present an unflinching view of the master’s personal relationships and motivations. With their deeply compelling narrative, Isbouts and Brown uncover how Dalí’s visual wit and enduring cult of personality still impacts fashion, literature, and art, from Andy Warhol to Lady Gaga, and seeks to answer why, in an age of shock and awe, Dalí’s art still manages to distress, perplex, and entertain.⁣
⁣
I'm so excited to add this gorgeous book to my home library collection.⁣

The Ardent Swarm by Yamen Manai is an allegory novel about a man living a hermetic life as a bee keeper in a small North African village during the aftermath of revolution. He must venture of to the big city where he discovers a country and its people turned upside down. This is said to be a beautifully written novel with a blend of humor and drama. We look forward to reading it! Thank you @tlcbooktours @tlcdiversity #partner for including us on tour. @amazonpublishing

SYNOPSIS: Sidi lives a hermetic life as a bee whisperer, tending to his beloved “girls” on the outskirts of the desolate North African village of Nawa. He wakes one morning to find that something has attacked one of his beehives, brutally killing every inhabitant. Heartbroken, he soon learns that a mysterious swarm of vicious hornets committed the mass murder—but where did they come from, and how can he stop them? If he is going to unravel this mystery and save his bees from annihilation, Sidi must venture out into the village and then brave the big city and beyond in search of answers.

Along the way, he discovers a country and a people turned upside down by their new post–Arab Spring reality as Islamic fundamentalists seek to influence votes any way they can on the eve of the country’s first democratic elections. To succeed in his quest, and find a glimmer of hope to protect all that he holds dear, Sidi will have to look further than he ever imagined.

This book was raw and real. Stewart crafted beautifully imperfect characters that allow us to see ourselves in their struggles.

Even the most put-together family, like the Flynn’s, can have a hidden secret!

This story follows Maggie as she navigates life after her husband’s death, and the life she experiences with her two best friends and her two daughters.

I spent the majority of the novel on the edge of my chair cheering for Maggie and her daughters.

This book also gives off what I’d consider Virgin River vibes, so if you like that series, grab this one and give it a try. I really need another book to come along and tell me what happens with the rest of their story!

There are several trigger warnings, so if you’re concerned, my DMs are always open and I will be honest before you jump into this one!

Thank you @mariah_stewart_books and @tlcbooktours for my #gifted copy in exchange for my honest review.

The Operator⁣⁣
By @ gretchenbergbooks⁣⁣
Release Date: March 10th 2020 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In a small town, everyone knows everyone else’s business . . .Nobody knows the people of Wooster, Ohio, better than switchboard operator Vivian Dalton. She calls it intuition. Her teenage daughter, Charlotte, calls it eavesdropping.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Vivian and the other women who work at Bell on East Liberty Street connect lines and lives. They aren’t supposed to listen in on conversations, but they do, and they all have opinions on what they hear―especially Vivian.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Then, one cold December night, Vivian listens in on a call between that snob Betty Miller and someone whose voice she can’t quite place and hears something shocking. Betty Miller’s mystery friend has news that, if true, will shatter Vivian’s tidy life in Wooster, humiliating her and making her the laughingstock of the town.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Vivian may be mortified, but she isn’t going to take this lying down. She’s going to get to the bottom of that rumor—get into it, get under it, poke around in the corners. Find every last bit. Vivian wants the truth, no matter how painful it may be.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But as Vivian is about to be reminded, in a small town like Wooster, one secret usually leads to another. . . .⁣⁣

With Palm Sunday and soon Easter upon us, I have a gorgeous book to share with you all today. National Geographic’s Who’s Who in the Bible by Jean-Pierre Isbouts is an absolutely stunning reference book that is filled with maps, glossaries, timelines, and so much information to make your Bible reading experience richer. Thank you to @tlcbooktours for my gifted copy.⁣
⁣
Written by best-selling author Jean-Pierre Isbouts, Who’s Who in the Bible is the ultimate reference guide to the men and women in the Bible, featuring more than 2,000 entries spanning Genesis to Revelation. From the author of In the Footsteps of Jesus and The Biblical World comes a vibrant family reference that brings to life the fascinating characters of the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. From the fall of Adam and Eve to Judas’ betrayal of Jesus, the key events of the Bible are expressed through the lives of hundreds of people. Told through exquisite art and artifacts, intriguing sidebars, and unique family tree features, this illuminating volume tells the stories of Biblical characters and highlights their greater meaning for mankind. Illustrated with lavish color photography and exquisite historical artwork, this reference runs chronologically, with each person listed by order of appearance.⁣
⁣
This book would make a lovely gift for a special religious occasion or for your own home library. Lots of books come into our home, and this is the first one my Pa took from the pile and placed in our living room. When I saw it there, he made a point to tell me not to give it away (he knows I’m generous with the amount of books I receive) and that it was stunning. If that isn’t a recommendation, I don’t know what is! It really is lovely and one I look forward to referencing often.⁣
⁣
Do you have a favorite religious tradition or story in your family? As much as I love Christmas, Easter and Resurrection Sunday is so special to me! I’m looking forward to it.⁣

Anyone who knows me knows I’ve seen almost every season of the bachelor. Ben Higgins was one of my favorite bachelors because of his kind nature and attitude! I also thought he had a really great group of women in his season. ⁣
⁣
Ben took his fame in another direction after the Bachelor. He felt that not many people knew the true Ben even though he put himself out there on the show. He threw himself into his charities, Generous Coffee and Humanity and Hope United. This book is a little more religious that I would have liked, but Ben turned to religion to help him find himself after the show aired. This definitely isn’t a Bachelor confession book, but it’s still very interesting to see what he’s done since the show.⁣

Many thanks @tlcbooktours⁣
& @williammorrowbooks for my copy!⁣
⁣
In this true love story that defies all odds, Josefine Lobnik, a Yugoslav partisan heroine, and Bruce Murray, a New Zealand soldier, discover love in the midst of a brutal war.⁣
⁣
In the heart of Nazi-occupied Europe, two people meet fleetingly in a chance encounter. One an underground resistance fighter, a bold young woman determined to vanquish the enemy occupiers; the other a prisoner of war, a man longing to escape the confines of the camp so he can battle again. A crumpled note passes between these two strangers, slipped through the wire of the compound, and sets them on a course that will change their lives forever.⁣
⁣
Woven through their tales of great bravery, daring escapes, betrayal, torture, and retaliation is their remarkable love story that survived against all odds. This is an extraordinary account of two ordinary people who found love during the unimaginable hardships of Hitler’s barbaric regime as told by their son-in-law Doug Gold, who decided to tell their story from the moment he heard about their remarkable tale of bravery, resilience, and resistance.⁣

✨ Happy Pub Day ✨

One of my biggest goals for 2021 is the highlight queer stories, and I’m so fortunate to have been given the opportunity to receive an early copy of I’M IN SEATTLE, WHERE ARE YOU? by Mortada Gzar. Just reading the synopsis, it already has me ready to bawl. 😭 I’m definitely going to be picking up this story for my April TBR—let me know if you plan to read it or if you have any other queer memoirs to send my way!

SYNOPSIS

An award-winning Iraqi writer creates a new world for himself in Seattle in search of lost love.
As the US occupation of Iraq rages, novelist Mortada Gzar, a student at the University of Baghdad, has a chance encounter with Morise, an African American soldier. It’s love at first sight, a threat to them both, and a moment of self-discovery. Challenged by society’s rejection and Morise’s return to the US, Mortada takes to the page to understand himself.
In his deeply affecting memoir, Mortada interweaves tales of his childhood work as a scrap-metal collector in a war zone and the indignities faced by openly gay artists in Iraq with his impossible love story and journey to the US. Marginalized by his own society, he is surprised to discover the racism he finds in a new one. At its heart, I’m in Seattle, Where Are You? is a moving tale of love and resilience.

One sentence review: A classic mystery with Queen Elizabeth as the lead sleuth - what's not to love?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I've always been a fan of a good mystery. So when I read the synopsis of this one and saw that Queen Elizabeth is the protagonist, I knew this was a book I needed to read. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The book is set in 2016 before the Queen's 90th birthday celebration. A guest at Windsor Castle, a young Russian pianist, is found strangled. As MI5 gets involved, the Queen finds herself increasingly frustrated with the direction the investigation is going in. And so the fun begins.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
For me this book delivered everything I wanted: respectful behind the scenes fiction on what life as the Queen might look like, interesting characters, and most importantly an interesting mystery that kept me guessing.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I recommend this book for people who love a classic mystery or who love everything royal. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I was also lucky enough to get an alc for this book. I thought the narration was done really well. There are a lot of characters but the narrator did a good job in keeping them distinct so there wasn't a lot of confusion.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This book is available now!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This is Book 4 of #BGBReviewMadness with @bookgoalbusters !⁣⁣
⁣⁣
QOTD: How do you feel about fiction that involves real life, living characters?⁣⁣
AOTD: I'm okay with it as long as they don't delve too deeply into historic events where it sort of muddles real history with fiction.⁣⁣

Thank you @harpervoyagerus and @tlcbooktours for sending me a copy of The Bone Maker by @sarahbethdurst! This cover was my most recent favorite!⁣
I receive a lot of books each month and every once in a while my husband comments on how much he likes the cover of one. This book was one of them. I very much agree.⁣
☠⁣
Synopsis:⁣
Twenty-five years ago, five heroes risked their lives to defeat the bone maker Eklor—a corrupt magician who created an inhuman army using animal bones. But victory came at a tragic price. Only four of the heroes survived. ⁣
⁣
Since then, Kreya, the group’s leader, has exiled herself to a remote tower and devoted herself to one purpose: resurrecting her dead husband. But such a task requires both a cache of human bones and a sacrifice—for each day he lives, she will live one less.⁣
⁣
She’d rather live one year with her husband than a hundred without him, but using human bones for magic is illegal in Vos. The dead are burned—as are any bone workers who violate the law. Yet Kreya knows where she can find the bones she needs: the battlefield where her husband and countless others lost their lives.⁣
⁣
But defying the laws of the land exposes a terrible possibility. Maybe the dead don’t rest in peace after all. ⁣
⁣
Five warriors—one broken, one gone soft, one pursuing a simple life, one stuck in the past, and one who should be dead. Their story should have been finished. But evil doesn’t stop just because someone once said, “the end.”

Everybody Fights, So Why Not Get Better At It!
Kim and Penn Holderness

Happy Pub Day to this book!! I want to thank @thomasnelson @theholdernessfamily and @tlcbooktours for having me on this tour and to get the opportunity to review their new book Everybody Fights.

I really did enjoy the audiobook version of this book and want a physical copy. I think it would be helpful for me to have both as there are parts where they encourage you to jot notes for you to think about or activities for the couple to do.

The audiobook version played more like a podcast and I think that keeps the tone more upbeat and it moves quickly. There are many personal stories that the reader can relate to.

Some of my favorite chapters and or take always were the “secret contracts” and “don’t leave the airport”. These are two aspects I struggle with so they gave me great practical advice.

The Holderness family does not claim to be experts on relationships or communication in this book. They take the lessons they have learned over the years and pass them along to the reader. I appreciated it, I found value where I needed to. Marriage is messy and we can always use a tune up and take away something to help us with personal growth.

I will say that there is some Christian marketing to this book and there is absolutely nothing Christian about the book. There are a few cuss words and no scripturei to be found. Not this this book is bad at all, just wanting to make sure people are aware.

Overall I really enjoyed this book ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 💫 .

On January 21, 2008, a routine medical procedure left Mallory Weggemann paralyzed from her waist down. Less than two years later, Mallory had broken eight world records, and by the 2012 Paralympic Games, she held fifteen world records and thirty-four American records. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Mallory’s story reminds us that whatever circumstances we face, we have the capacity to face down whatever challenges, labels, or difficulties confront us–and to do so on our own terms.⁣⁣
