Julie and The Ravenous Readers won THE CAVE by Amani Ballour, M.D. They are excited to discuss this book!

"This searing memoir tells the story of a young doctor and activist who ran an underground hospital in Damascus, humanizing the enduring crisis in Syria." Probably the most perfect memoir for a book club that likes a lot to chew on.

Bestselling author Joy Callaway returns with a story of the ordinary people behind extraordinary beauty—and the question of who gets to tell their stories in 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 𝙍𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧.⁣
⁣
𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆⁣
At this wondrous resort, secrets can easily be hidden in plain sight when the eye is trained on beauty.⁣
⁣
April 1913—Belle Newbold hasn’t seen #mountains for seven years—since her father died in a mining accident and her mother married gasoline magnate, Shipley Newbold. But when her stepfather’s business acquaintance, Henry Ford, invites the family on one of his famous Vagabonds camping tours, she is forced to face the hills once again—primarily in order to reunite with her future fiancé, owner of the land the Vagabonds are using for their campsite, a man she’s only met once before. It is a veritable arranged marriage, but she prefers it that way. Belle isn’t interested in love. She only wants a simple life—a family of her own and the stability of a wealthy man’s pockets. That’s what Worth Delafield has promised to give her and it’s worth facing the mountains again, the reminder of the past, and her poverty, to secure her future.⁣
⁣
But when the Vagabonds group is invited to tour the unfinished Grove Park Inn and Belle is unexpectedly thrust into a role researching and writing about the building of the inn—a construction the locals are calling The Eighth Wonder of the World—she quickly realizes that these mountains are no different from the ones she once called #home. As Belle peels back the facade of Grove Park Inn, of Worth, of the society she’s come to claim as her own, and the truth of her heart, she begins to see that perhaps her part in Grove Park’s story isn’t a coincidence after all. Perhaps it is only by watching a wonder rise from ordinary hands and mountain stone that she can finally find the strength to piece together the long-destroyed path toward who she was meant to be.⁣

I love a good post-apocalyptic thriller so here’s a fantastic recommendation for y’all.

#WithRegrets
By: @leeykelly

A dinner party and it’s frivolities and then an alert that begins the post-apocalyptic nightmare. Glimmering clouds are killing everyone they touch so seeking shelter is crucial.

✨Book Tour✨
Today’s good feature brings back memories! I remember driving over an hour and a half several times in college just to get In N Out. We drove through the drive thru and back home. We loved it that much. I can remember all the excitement and endless lines when they opened in Oregon! Definitely some nostalgia surrounding In N Out burgers!

The Ins-N-Outs of In-N-Out Burger
- Lynsi Snyder

Thank you @tlcbooktours and @thomasnelson for the gifted copy and including me on your book tour.

🍔Synopsis:
Discover the official story of In-N-Out Burger––how three generations have created a thriving, family-owned company, why its fans are so wildly loyal, and what led to its explosive growth and evolution into an iconic part of American culture––as told by In-N-Out Burger’s president, Lynsi Snyder. When Lynsi Snyder’s grandparents founded In-N-Out Burger in 1948, they built it with a passion for quality and service that Lynsi embraced at a young age. After starting as a store associate at age seventeen, she then worked in other departments, gaining first-hand experience with almost every aspect of the family business until she became president in 2010. She has led the company through explosive growth––today, there are three-hundred and eighty stores and counting––and is deeply committed to the well-being of the In-N-Out Burger family.
In The Ins and Outs of In-N-Out, you’ll:
* Gain key insights into why In-N-Out has maintained its very popular and limited menu for more than seventy-five-years and why it has refused to franchise or go public
* Hear behind-the-scenes stories from In-N-Out Associates, including from one gentleman who worked in the very first store
* Learn about the Snyder family’s Christian faith, including her grandmother Esther’s belief in the gospel and her uncle’s “born-again” experience that shaped his life and leadership at the company
* Discover why Lynsi has been ranked as one of the top presidents in the restaurant industry and how her personal challenges have fortified her faith

Here’s a spooky read for the kiddos 👻 Repost from @thelibrariandad

Looking for a spooky read for this month. Try Ghosts Come Rising. It’s an unfortunate tale of two siblings caught in the schemes of their uncle. Thank you for the copy! Book description below #GhostsComeRising #middlegradebooks #spookybooks ⬇️

After twelve-year-old Liza Carroll and her ten-year-old brother John's parents die, they are placed in the custody of their uncle, a traveling photographer named Mr. Spencer. Mr. Spencer, realizing the gift he has in his young relatives, uses them to help create fraudulent spirit photographs, which he sells to the grieving.

Chased from one town to another, they arrive at a settlement that is different than the others they've been to-a Spiritualist commune in Pennsylvania named the Silver Star Society. Things feel different here. They are told they are at a Thin Place between the worlds of the living and the spirits. Shadows haunt the halls, and strange forms appear in Liza's photographs. Is this real, or is she the one being tricked this time? As Liza and her brother begin to investigate, the Thin Place begins to break, threatening everyone at the society. Can they fix it in time? And will their secret they've been hiding be revealed?

Happy Halloween! Stay safe out there 🎃 Repost from @megsbookclub

Hi friends! Are you a busy person? I am one of those people that is always busy but I often try to figure out how I can be less busy. I’m a yes person but sometimes just want to slow down and sit in my chair and be on Instagram for like 5 hours and read all your posts and catch up! Haha!

I’m here today to share a new young adult release, Curses and Other Buried Things. I don’t read a lot of YA so I always jump on one when it sounds good.

Susana wants one thing: to avoid becoming like the mother who abandoned her, no matter the cost. But when her eighteenth birthday triggers a generational curse, prompting Susana to sleepwalk into the Okefenokee Swamp behind her grandparents’ house, she realizes the roots of her family tree run deeper than she believed . . .

The Henrietta and Inspector Howard series, Book 7

Thank you to @tlcbooktours @shewritespress & @michellecoxwrites for my complimentary copy.

🔎 Clive and Henrietta return to England to find Castle Linley in financial ruin. When Clive’s cousin, Wallace, invites an estate agent in to assess the home’s value, the agent is later found poisoned, throwing all of the Castle’s guests into suspicion. Clive and Henrietta are soon drawn into an investigation, which is slowed by an incompetent local inspector and several unexplained phenomena?the cause of which many, especially the frail Lady Linley, believe to be the workings of the ghost of a hanged maid.

🔎 Meanwhile, Gunther and Elsie have begun life on a farm in Omaha. Circumstances are difficult, but they are content–until Oldrich Exely appears, proposing an option Elsie finds difficult to ignore. Melody Merriweather, still masquerading as a nun to aid Elsie’s escape, likewise finds it difficult to ignore a letter with tragic news from home, while Julia, on the other hand, receives a very different sort of letter from Glenn Forbes.

🔎 Back in England, Clive is called away to London on suspicious business, leaving Henrietta to carry on with the investigation alone. When she is mysteriously locked in the study one night, however, things take on a more deadly, supernatural feel, leaving her to fear that Lady Linley’s “ghost” might just be real after all…

My thoughts: I really enjoyed this perfect mix of historical mystery and ghost story with a hint of romance. Clive and Henrietta made such a fun couple. It was well-plotted with multiple storylines that had me intrigued until the end. This can be read as a standalone, but now I want to go back and read the whole series. A perfect read for spooky season!

QOTD: What are some of your favorite funny TV shows?

I love rewatching funny tv shows, and one I have been recently re-watching is Parks and Rec. If you love parks and rec you should check out Bethany Turner's new novel- Brynn and Sebasian Hate Each Other. It is said to be like Parks and Rec meets The Morning Show.

She’s a sunny morning-show host. He’s a cynical ex-reporter. They’re destined to hate each other . . . Aren’t they?

Brynn Cornell has to be stuck in a nightmare. Just last week, she was riding high as cohost of the popular morning show Sunup. She’s America’s Ray of Sunshine. All it took was one huge on-air mistake to expose her snarky side to the world and make it all come crumbling down. Now she’s back in her hometown of Adelaide Springs, Colorado, in a last-ditch attempt to convince viewers she’s not the mean girl they think she is. All she has to do is apologize and capture some feel-good footage reminding everyone she’s just a girl from humble beginnings who’s grateful for her big break, and she might manage to preserve both her career and her image. But this town holds painful memories that she’s not ready to face.

Sebastian Sudworth was on the fast track to the journalist hall of fame. A superstar reporter with a reputation for being in the center of the action, his fearless, relentless coverage of major events around the globe was winning him awards and accolades–until something snapped inside him and he vanished from the scene under mysterious circumstances.

When Sebastian is assigned to chauffeur Brynn around town, Brynn is sure he can see right through her carefully cultivated, sunny persona. But she’s determined to do what it takes to maintain her image and save her career–so she’ll just have to charm the socks off Sebastian the same way she charmed her viewers. Easier said than done.

Thank you @tlcbooktours @amazonpublishing and @barbaraonealauthor for this #gifted copy.

Synopsis 👉

Barbara O’Neal’s latest, The Starfish Sisters, is a rich story that will touch your heart in so many ways.

💜𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆?

O’Neal has a way of tapping into all your emotions, while drilling straight down into the soul of her characters, and she did this with each of her characters through the theme of found family…which I can never get enough of. I loved the way Pheobe and Suze were basically sisters and how sisterhood played a part in their summers, and everything wasn’t always peachy keen. Their childhoods and teen years slowly unfold throughout the story through dual timelines, as each woman remembers different experiences and traumas, while in the present they seek to find their way back to each other.

🐚 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲?

This was a slow burn character driven story.

💜 𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸?

This is a heartbreaking and at the same time heartwarming story about two women coming back together and coming to terms with a tragic past and realizing that they still have each other and more.

🌸🌸🌸

🌸It’s finally time for me to rave about Come With Me by Erin Flanagan! I read it in June because I couldn’t wait. Flanagan is the Edgar Award winning author of Deer Season so I knew it would be awesome - and it was! It published August 22, so what are you waiting for?

🌸Gwen Manet had the perfect life until her husband died unexpectedly and she needed to provide for her young daughter. Finding a job wasn’t easy until she happened to reconnect with Nicola Kimmel -someone she once interned with. Nicola is a godsend! She helps with housing, salary negotiation, babysitting- you name it! But what is Nicola’s motivation? It might turn out to be deadly!

🌸This book was a page turner! Just when I thought I had things figured out- there would be another twist.

🌸Thanks to @tlcbooktours @amazonpublishing and @erinlflanagan for the opportunity to read this one!

🌸What are your plans for the weekend?

Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six by Lisa Unger
•
It might still be August, but I am already thinking of what book I want to read on a family vacation in October! The setting is an isolated cabin on the shore of Lake Michigan, and while I wouldn’t describe it as luxurious, it is a trip I’ve been thinking about for months! What would make the trip even better? A suspenseful read about a dreamy vacation gone wrong, and a mystery guest determined to exact revenge!

⛰Synopsis: Three couples rent a luxury cabin in the woods for a weekend getaway to die for in this chilling locked-room thriller.

An isolated luxury cabin in the woods, spectacular views, a hot tub and a personal chef. Hannah’s generous brother found the listing online. The reviews are stellar. It’ll be three couples on this trip with good food, good company and lots of R & R. But the dreamy weekend is about to turn into a nightmare.

A deadly storm is brewing. The rental host seems just a little too present. The personal chef reveals that their beautiful house has a spine-tingling history. And the friends have their own complicated past, with secrets that run blood deep. How well does Hannah know her brother, her own husband? Can she trust her best friend? Meanwhile, someone is determined to ruin the weekend, looking to exact a payback for deeds long buried. Who is the stranger among them?

Thank you @parkrowbooks @htpbooks @lisaunger @tlcbooktours for my #gifted copy of this book!

Sometimes we get asked if we coordinate tours for children’s titles, and the answer is YES. Repost from @dropandgivemenerdy:

Today I’m teaming up with @drdeborahserani @kyrateis @freespiritpublishing @tlcbooktours to share the #SometimesWhenSeries #SometimesWhenImWorried book! This is a great tool for strategies a kid can use when worry overwhelms them, which they can take into their daily lives (complete with examples—in story form—of situations where worry might arise and how the character is helped through it)! There are also parent resources in the back for helping your kid through those strategies. This is very sweet and definitely useful for us, as my kids have their worry moments (one borders on pure panic sometimes so this will be extra useful for her).

Happy Thriller Thursday! Repost @ericabingesbooks -

Do you prefer hot weather or cold weather?

I definitely prefer hot weather, but summers in Florida definitely push it beyond what is comfortable. That’s why it’s so fun to be sharing a #booktour post for a book with a wintery-esque cover right now.

If you guys have been following me for any amount of time, you will know that I love romantic suspense. So I was sooo excited when I heard there was going to be a book tour for the 3rd book in @rebeccazanetti Laurel Snow series. You can check out the blurb below. And thank you so much to Rebecca, @kensingtonbooks @btc_books and @tlcbooktours for allowing me to be part of the tour and sending me the book! You Can Die is out now!

Blurb: Men are dying in the Pacific Northwest, their bodies found near churches, charities, and counseling centers—each with valentine candy hearts shoved down their throats. They’re good men with families and community ties–or so they seem until Laurel Snow and her team begin to investigate. Then the case takes a shockingly personal turn when the father she’s never met, a former pastor, turns up among the dead.

Now, besides solving her father’s murder, Laurel is on the hunt to discover the truth of his past. Complicating things is Laurel’s troubled half-sister, Abigail, a brilliant sociopath determined to prove that they’ve both inherited their father’s malignant narcissism.

Assisting Laurel is Washington Fish and Wildlife Captain Huck Rivers, a dangerous loner whose reliance on gut instinct puts him at odds with Laurel’s coolly analytic approach. But the choice may be moot when the killer hones in on Huck’s own dark secrets–putting him and Laurel squarely in the crosshairs.

Thank you @tlcbooktours and @shewritespress for the gifted copy and including me on your book tour.

🤫Synopsis:
KATE WHITTIER has it all: a loving, even-keeled husband, two great kids, and a beautiful home in Southern California. But Kate is living a lie. In a desperate attempt to create the safe, happy family she never had, she has been hiding secrets for decades—things she’s convinced make her unworthy of her wellborn husband, Jacob, and the privileged life he has provided.

Then, one ordinary evening, Jacob confesses to a drunken sexual indiscretion he doesn’t quite remember, and Kate cracks open. Molten memories rise to the surface. Volatile emotions swirl. Triggered in ways she didn’t see coming, Kate is overwhelmed by rage she cannot explain and fear of who she might become.
Her marriage unraveling, Kate returns to her childhood home, hoping to find closure. Instead, as the past invades the present and relationships collide, Kate discovers she’s not the only one lying—and the truth may not set anyone free.

💭Thoughts: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I can’t believe this is a debut. This is a compulsive read. I didn’t want to put it down. The book covers some difficult topics including incest, infidelity, trauma, and mental illness. The author did a great job with the mental health representation.
The descriptions of bipolar disorder seemed very spot on.
The ending was a complete surprise, but deals with hope, healing, and redemption. I definitely recommend picking this one up.

QOTD: What are you doing this weekend?

Thanks @exclusivepalmbeachliving for this amazing

Thanks @exclusivepalmbeachliving for this amazing review!! Repost-
My name is Iris was charged with so much that at moments I felt overwhelmed... but in a good way. This dystopian with a touch of Magical realism story is about our MC Iris Prince, a first-generation Mexican American who has spent her entire life doing what she needs to do (according to her mother) to live up to the American Dream.

Recently divorced, Iris feels she has a second chance at a life she forever dreamed of. Together with her 9-year-old daughter Mel, they move to an upscale mostly white neighborhood where everything just seems right and perfect because her neighbors are people who follow the rules & that is exactly when her "perfect life" starts to crumble.

As soon as she moves into her new home, a magical wall appears in front of their home that only her and her daiughter are able to see. Then a new law goes into effect. All individuals will get an electronic wrist "Band" that will make life more convenient and safer (according to the government UNITY MEANS ONE BAND) To be able to access this bands, you must provide proof of Parents Citizenship. Iris's parents are undocumented making it impossible for them to access this bands, jeopardizing Ines "perfect life & future" and so Your story begins...

This story takes place in the POV of a Mexican American with dark skin. The brown community would easily identify with this take and will feel seen and less alone. Brando Skyhorse did an incredible job at painting the harsh reality for many in the USA, this story was packed with Gender pay inequality, Racism, Classism, Colorism, Crime against Mexicans, Systematic & Institutional racism, Immigration, identity crisis... I mean, this book had it all in one.

This novel is a reflection of the reality POC are currently living under. This is a love letter to finding who you truly are and loving the shit out of you for it. This is about Family and what matters most because at the end of the day We are where We came from and we shouldn't have to be ashamed or discriminated for it. #bookstagram #booksbooksbooks #bookworm #bookcommunity #brandoskyhorse #dystopian #booklover @tlcdiversity
