Happy Saturday everyone! ⁣ ⁣ So yesterday, it was confirmed that we’ll be out of the lab for another month 🙃⁣ ⁣ On a happier note, I FINALLY had time to read 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙊𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙏𝙧𝙚𝙚 by @say_shannon (which @crofteereader has been yelling at me to do for almost a year now 🙈). ⁣ ⁣ Anyways, y’all, this book was absolutely incredible! ⁣ ⁣ Samantha Shannon is an expert storyteller that has carefully crafted a completely engrossing and immersive tale. ⁣ ⁣ This story boasts rich and complex world building, fascinating and well developed characters, same sex relationships, magic, dragons (who are actual characters with rich histories and not magical beings to gawk at), political intrigue, and so much more. ⁣ ⁣ Even though this book comes in at just over 800 pages, I found myself savoring every single page and was left in a glorious haze when I finished. ⁣ ⁣ Rating: 5/5 ⭐️’s ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝘆𝗲𝘁?⁣ ⁣ My next backlist title that I need to get to is either Gods of Jade and Shadow or Ninth House.

🌈 It’s Rainbow Stack Day! 🌈⁣ ⁣ Happy Friday everyone! We have officially made it through week three of quarantine/social distancing (we all deserve shiny gold stars and lots of wine…just saying).⁣ ⁣ Today I am joining in the rainbow stack challenge that the rainbow queen herself @jennsbookvibes is hosting! With all of the darkness going on right now, she asked us to light up instagram with beautiful rainbows to help remind us to stay positive and (virtually) lean on one another.⁣ ⁣ So get those colorful books and use the hashtag #jennsrainbowchallenge! ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞.⁣ ⁣ My husband and I have been taking daily walks together, which I’ve now come to look forward to.

💙 Blue Stacks for Autism Awareness 💙⁣ ⁣ Today I am joining in on the Autism Awareness stack challenge that’s being hosted by @suspensethrill @novelgossip @reallyintothis! ⁣ ⁣ They’ve asked us to stack our blue books and use the hashtag #thrillandchillstacks.⁣ ⁣ Can’t participate today? Don’t worry! April is Autism Awareness month, and @travelling.the.pages is hosting a challenge for the entire month. Be sure to use the hashtag #autisminblue. ⁣ ⁣ So whether your participate today or later this month, grab your blue books and let’s show some support 💙⁣

She’s not great at playing piano, sitting still, or figuring out how to say the right thing at the right time in real life. Libby was born with Turner Syndrome, and that makes some things hard. But she has lots of people who love her, and that makes her pretty lucky.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ From debut author Sarah Allen comes a pitch-perfect, heartwarming middle grade novel about growing up, finding yourself, and loving people with everything you’re made of.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Thank you to @macmillankidsbooks for sending me a copy of the book and teaming up with me for a great giveaway!

It’s Tuesday, which means new books!⁣ ⁣ So this is a bit of a late post for me, but I’ve been busy devouring Cut and Run by @abwrites, which released today! ⁣ ⁣ Huge thank you to my friends over @minotaur_books for my gifted copy! ⁣ ⁣ If you love murder mysteries and police procedurals then you definitely need this book! It’s fast paced and is keeping me on my toes! ⁣ ⁣ Synopsis:⁣ ⁣ FBI Agent Lucy Kincaid is dead-set on solving a cold case—even if the original investigators stonewall her every step of the way. A violent storm has uncovered the remains of a family that authorities assumed fled the country years ago to avoid prosecution. But the body of the youngest Albright son never turned up. If the child is dead, why wasn’t his body found with his parents? If he’s alive, where has he been…and what does he know? Now Lucy and her partner Nate must reconstruct an old crime to find a missing child in the present day.⁣ ⁣ Meanwhile, investigative reporter Maxine Revere is called to San Antonio. A confessed killer of a young woman named Victoria has recanted his statement, which opens the door to a whole new world of secrets and betrayal. Max hires Sean Rogan, Lucy’s husband and a seasoned PI, to help. The discovery that Victoria might be connected to the Albright family leads Max, Sean, and Lucy to the darkest corridors of corporate crime. But how can they untangle this complex web to find justice for the victims…and the killer in their midst?⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 📖 Are you sneaking in any last minute reads for March? 📖

#bookfeature @putnambooks #partner ⁣ ⁣ Happy Monday everyone! ⁣ ⁣ My friends over at @putnambooks sent me this gorgeous finished copy of Providence by Max Barry, which releases tomorrow! ⁣ ⁣ Now, I don’t know if y’all know my book bestie Laura @crofteereader, but her (alongside Indre @hooked.by.books), are the queens of sci-fi. ⁣ ⁣ That being said, Laura gave this book 4.5/5 stars! And if y’all know Laura, she has maybe 10 five star reads a year (and she reads 200+ books a year). ⁣ ⁣ Now I am even more excited to read this space book! ⁣ ⁣ Head to the comments to check out the awesome synopsis! While we may not be able to get books from Amazon, don’t forget that you can order Providence at many independent bookstores tomorrow! ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Are there certain bookstagrammers that make you need a book once they endorse it? ⁣ ⁣ I have soooo many! But when Laura says a book is 5 star worthy, I don’t think, I run to grab a copy 😂⁣
