𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓴 𝓢𝓹𝓸𝓽𝓵𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽⁣ ⁣ Today I’ve partnered with @tnzfiction & @justreadtours to tell you about Coral by @saraellawrites (purchase link in bio! Available on Tuesday! For more info check out the @justreadtours profile link.)📖🧜‍♀️⁣ ⁣ In a world where humanity often seems lost, what does it mean to be human? A new twist on Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved—yet tragic—fairy tale “The Little Mermaid.”⁣ ⁣ There’s more than one way to drown.⁣ Coral has always been different, standing out from her mermaid sisters in a society where blending in is key. Worse yet, she fears she has been afflicted with the dreaded Disease, said to be carried by humans—emotions. Can she face the darkness long enough to surface in the light?⁣ ⁣ Above the sea, Brooke has nothing left to give. Depression and anxiety have left her feeling isolated. Forgotten. The only thing she can rely on is the numbness she finds within the cool and comforting ocean waves. If only she weren’t stuck at Fathoms—a new group therapy home that promises a second chance at life. But what’s the point of living if her soul is destined to bleed?⁣ ⁣ Merrick may be San Francisco’s golden boy, but he wants nothing more than to escape his controlling father. When his younger sister’s suicide attempt sends Merrick to his breaking point, escape becomes the only option. If he can find their mom, everything will be made right again—right?⁣ ⁣ When their worlds collide, all three will do whatever it takes to survive, and Coral might even catch a prince in the process. But what—and who—must they leave behind for life to finally begin?⁣ ⁣ 🍁 𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥’𝕤 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕗𝕒𝕧𝕠𝕣𝕚𝕥𝕖 𝕗𝕒𝕚𝕣𝕪𝕥𝕒𝕝𝕖? 🍁⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #justreadtours #Coral #SaraElla #TNZfiction #newrelease #bookstoread #booklover #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #igreads #bookworm #toread #ilovebooks #booknerdigans #amreading #currentlyreading #readersofinstagram #TBR #bookwineandmetime #bionicbookbabes

𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓴 𝓢𝓹𝓸𝓽𝓵𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽⁣ ⁣ Today I’ve partnered with @w.w.norton & @storygramtours to tell you about The Seine by @elainesciolino (thank you for my #freebook #partner) 📖♥️⁣ ⁣ A vibrant, enchanting tour of the Seine from longtime New York Times foreign correspondent and best-selling author Elaine Sciolino.⁣ ⁣ In the spring of 1978, as a young journalist in Paris, Elaine Sciolino was seduced by a river. In The Seine, she tells the story of that river through its rich history and lively characters—a bargewoman, a riverbank bookseller, a houseboat-dweller, a famous cinematographer known for capturing the river’s light. She patrols with river police, rows with a restorer of antique boats, discovers a champagne vineyard, and even dares to swim in the Seine.⁣ ⁣ Sciolino’s keen eye and vivid prose bring the river to life as she discovers its origins on a remote plateau in Burgundy, where a pagan goddess healed pilgrims at an ancient temple. She follows the Seine to Le Havre, where it meets the sea. Braiding memoir, travelogue, and history through the Seine’s winding route, Sciolino offers a love letter to Paris and the river at its heart and invites readers to explore its magic. ⁣ ⁣ To learn more or to purchase a copy check out #linkinbio. ⁣ ⁣ 🍁 𝕀𝕗 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕔𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕧𝕚𝕤𝕚𝕥 𝕒𝕟𝕪𝕨𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕚𝕟 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕝𝕕, 𝕨𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕨𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕘𝕠? 🍁⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #TheSeineTour #TheSeine #elainesciolino #WWNorton #storygramtours #bionicbookbabes #bookwineandmetime #nonfictionbooks #nonfiction #nonfictionnovember #bookstagram #bookworm #booklover #lovetoread #readersofinstagram #reader #lovetoread #fallbooks #fallreading
