QOTD: What's the paranormal subgenre you just love? . AOTD: I can't get enough of witches. . From the author of A Taste of Sage comes another charming and engrossing novel in which a young woman must navigate her family’s expectations, the demands of her job, a new love, and a secret about her magical identity. Larimar Cintrón works hard at three things: her job as brand manager for Beacon Café, a New York based corporate bakery chain; taking care of her parents and her abuela; and hiding that she’s a ciguapa—a mythical creature of Dominican folklore with long, straight hair and backward feet. Larimar may be a ciguapa only during full moons, but she feels like an outsider in her family the rest of the month too. Her love of ’90s punk rock music and style further sets her apart. But when her best friend introduces her to Ray, a bakery owner and fellow punk rock lover, Larimar thinks she may have finally found someone with whom she can be her true self. As Beacon Café's brand manager, Larimar oversees all new location openings, including its newest in New Jersey, which could be the project that finally lands her a coveted promotion. But when she discovers the location is right across from Ray’s bakery, Larimar is torn between impressing her boss and saving Ray’s business. As she continues to grow closer to Ray, and as the new store’s opening looms, she struggles to hide the truth about herself and her job. But embracing her magical nature may be the only way Larimar can have everything she wants. . #booksofinstagram #readingtime #amreading #bdloves #folklore #coolgirlsread #reading #books #booklover #betterwithbooks #booksconnectus #readholic #booksparks #booksonbooks #mybookfeatures #shelfiesunday #tbrpile #bookaholic #bookreview #bookreviewer #bookobsessed #ilovereading #nakedbooks #bookwormlife #booksandbeans #toberead #oliveinfluencer #unitedbookstagram #booksandbooks #booksbooksandmorebooks (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpfxY3crnZl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

QOTD: A Ghostly this or that: 1. Denny Duquette (Greys) or Sam Wheat (Ghost) 2. Casper or Slimer 3. Wuthering Heights or A Christmas Carol 4. The legend of Sleepy Hollow or Hamlet 5. Lady with the Yellow ribbon or Bloody Mary . Not that this book needs anymore reviews, but I'll drop my two cents. This is a great book to take to the beach bc it has just enough depth to keep everyone entertained. Felt like a beach read mixed with an old fashioned tale. I loved it. . #bookishaesthetic #booksarelove #bookpicture #cozyreads #bookbuying #readingtime #epicreads #readingisfundamental #readmore #bookhoarder #bookstagrammers #booksarelife #bookishlove #bookstack #becauseofreading #booklover #bookstagram #unitedbookstagram #booksandbooks #booksofinsta #toberead #booksaremylife #bookslovers #booksy #beachreads #ilovereading #booksofinstagram #booknerdigans #ghoststories #bookwormlife (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpaxuhbgN1o/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

QOTD: Has life ever forced you to make a quick decision? How did it turn out? . I binge read book 1 of this series and am halfway through book 2. I plan to dive into book 3 as soon as I can. I love hearing the different points of view, hearing from voices outside of my own, but also feeling the combined experience of growing and being a woman. So glad to feature @jayneallen in my Women's Voices's tribute for Women's History month. Got any ladies you think I should check out or you would like to see featured? Drop them in the comments. . In this final installment in the acclaimed Black Girls Must Die Exhausted trilogy, Tabitha is juggling work, relationships, and a newborn baby—but will she find the happy ending she’s always wanted After a whirlwind year, Tabitha Walker’s carefully organized plan to achieve the life she wanted—perfect job, dream husband, and stylish home—has gone off the rails. Her checklist now consists of diapers changed (infinite), showers taken (zero), tears cried (buckets), and hours of sleep (what’s that).

QOTD: Have you ever read a book that defied genre? what book was that. . Can I just tell you how much I am enjoying Ms. Demeanor??? I don't know if its the fact that I'm a lawyer or the absolutely iconic set up for this story, but so far it's giving me everything. Entering as hell. . From one of America's most beloved contemporary novelists, a delicious and witty story about love under house arrest Jane Morgan is a valued member of her law firm--or was, until a prudish neighbor, binoculars poised, observes her having sex on the roof of her NYC apartment building. Police are summoned, and a punishing judge sentences her to six months of home confinement. With Jane now jobless and rootless, trapped at home, life looks bleak. Yes, her twin sister provides support and advice, but mostly of the unwelcome kind. When a doorman lets slip that Jane isn't the only resident wearing an ankle monitor, she strikes up a friendship with fellow white-collar felon Perry Salisbury. As she tries to adapt to life within her apartment walls, she discovers she hasn't heard the end of that tattletale neighbor--whose past isn't as decorous as her 9-1-1 snitching would suggest. Why are police knocking on Jane's door again? Can her house arrest have a silver lining? Can two wrongs make a right? . #bookishaesthetic #booksarelove #bookpicture #cozyreads #bookbuying #readingtime #epicreads #readingisfundamental #readmore #bookhoarder #bookstagrammers #booksarelife #bookishlove #bookstack #becauseofreading #booklover #bookstagram #unitedbookstagram #booksandbooks #booksofinsta #toberead #booksaremylife #bookslovers #booksy #lawyersofinstagram #ilovereading #booksofinstagram #booknerdigans #nakedbooks #oliveinfluencer (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpOvayNrsJ-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

QOTD: Do texts count as love letters? Do we have a modern equivalent? . After a short and difficult marriage, recently widowed Edith Sherman has learned her lesson. Forget love. Forget marriage. She plans to fill her thirties with adventure. As she awaits the final paperwork for a humanitarian trip to South Africa, she accepts a short-term nursing position in a small Midwestern town. The last thing she needs is a handsome local catching her eye. How inconvenient is that? Henry Hobbes isn't exactly thrilled to have Edith, who he assumes is an elderly widow, dumped on him as a houseguest for the summer. But he'd do almost anything for his niece, who is practically like a sister to him given how close they are in age. Especially since Edith will be working nights and Henry works most days. When he and Edith keep missing each other in person, they begin exchanging notes--short messages at first, then longer letters, sharing increasingly personal parts of their lives. By the time Henry realizes his mistake--that Edith is actually the brown-eyed beauty he keeps bumping into around town--their hearts are so intertwined he hopes they never unravel. But with her departure date rapidly approaching, and Henry's roots firmly planted at home, Edith must ultimately decide if the adventure of her dreams is the one right in front of her. . #booksofinstagram #readingtime #amreading #bookstagram #cottagereads #coolgirlsread #reading #books #booklover #betterwithbooks #booksconnectus #readholic #booksparks #booksonbooks #mybookfeatures #shelfiesunday #tbrpile #bookaholic #bookreview #bookreviewer #bookobsessed #ilovereading #nakedbooks #bookwormlife #booksandbeans #toberead #booksandbotanicals #unitedbookstagram #booksandbooks #booksbooksandmorebooks (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpGVhPNA1jk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

QOTD: What's your favorite dark and twisty book? . If you like a dark, twisted, and messed up tale, grab this series immediately. The St. Benedict series is addictively appalling and gloriously gruesome. River of Wrath continues down the sadistic path started by book 1, River of Ashes, but this time we delve even deeper into the psychology, motivations, and the dichotomy of our "heroes" and "villains." Sir Walter Scott's famous line, "Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive" echoed through my head throughout River of Wrath. If you are dark and twisty, I can't recommend these enough. Just look at the cover! . Leslie Moore is struggling to get through her last semester at St. Benedict High. Even her relationship with her boyfriend Derek is falling apart. But after receding floodwaters from the Bogue Falaya River expose the bones of a woman, Leslie becomes obsessed with tracking down the killer. Sightings of an apparition haunting The Abbey send Leslie and her friends back to the scene of the horrors from last Halloween, but no one is prepared for what they find. After a stranger—the handsome Luke Cross—arrives in town, another girl goes missing, and the sheriff suspects the newcomer is hiding something. Leslie believes the Devereaux family is connected to everything going wrong in St. Benedict. And she means to uncover the truth, no matter the cost. Not all secrets can be kept silent. Some eventually find their way home. . #bookishaesthetic #booksarelove #bookpicture #cozyreads #bookbuying #readingtime #epicreads #readingisfundamental #readmore #bookhoarder #bookstagrammers #booksarelife #bookishlove #bookstack #becauseofreading #booklover #bookstagram #unitedbookstagram #booksandbooks #booksofinsta #toberead #booksaremylife #bookslovers #booksy #booksandtea #ilovereading #booksofinstagram #booknerdigans #darkbookstagram #bookwormlife (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpDTH-RrzcD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Qotd: what have you worked hardest for? . AOTD: for me, it was being a mother. Took years and a lot of pain and loss to finally have my rainbow babies. . In 1900 Sardinia, a young woman’s remarkable talent with a needle earns her a position as a seamstress with a wealthy family. Inside this privileged world far different from her own humble beginnings, the skilled sewer quietly takes measurements, sketches designs, mends hems—and in the silence, hears whispered secrets and stories of all those around her. Through the watchful young seamstress’s eyes, this small Italian city and its residents emerge in all their vitality, vanity, and fragility—flawed yet congenial people who are not quite what they pretend to be. "This feminist fairy tale is sure to be a book-club favorite and will appeal to fans of Laura Esquivel, Adriana Trigiani, and Elena Ferrante." — Booklist . Written in what I like to think of as narrative stream of consciousness, #theseamstressofsardinia is a stark but beautiful story of female strength. . #oliveinfluencer thanks @harperperennial for my copy! #bookstagram #italy #bookreview #booklover #booklovers #instabook #bookrecommendations #booknerd #bookworm #bookwormlife #bookphotography #bookpics #bookish #bookaddict #bibliophile #booklife #novel #bookaddict #booklove #bookstagrammer #prettybooks #instabookstagram #booksaremylife #harperperennial #booksbooksbooks #bookaholic #bookgram #bookphoto #bookclub (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnkkBeUvcDn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

QOTD: What are your most anticipated new books of this month (or this year)? . ATOD: Besides this one, Lunar Love by Lauren Kung Jessen. I can't wait to get to it! . A Winter at the White Queen by Denise Weimer In the world of the wealthy, things are never quite as they appear. Ellie Hastings is tired of playing social gatekeeper—and poor-relation companion—to her Gibson Girl of a cousin. But her aunt insists Ellie lift her nose out of her detective novel long enough to help gauge the eligibility of bachelors during the winter social season at Florida’s Hotel Belleview. She finds plenty that’s mysterious about the suave, aloof Philadelphia inventor, Lewis Thornton. Why does he keep sneaking around the hotel? Does he have a secret sweetheart? And what is his connection to the evasive Mr. Gaspachi, slated to perform at Washington’s Birthday Ball? Ellie’s comical sleuthing ought to put Lewis out, but the diffident way her family treats her smashes a hole in his normal reserve. But when Florence Hastings’ diamond necklace goes missing, Ellie’s keen mind threatens to uncover not only Lewis’s secrets, but give him back hope for love. . #deniseweimer @justreadtours #justreadtours #WinterattheWhiteQueen #RomanceattheGildedAgeResorts #DeniseWeimer #WildHeartBooks #historicalromance #historicalfiction #gildedage #bookstagram #amreading #christianfiction #bookworm #toread #ilovebooks #amreading #currentlyreading #coverlove #instabook #bookpic #bookphotography #booklover #booklovers #instabook #bookish #instabookgrammers #bookstagrammer #bookstagrammers #tbr #bookworm #booksandtea (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnS5_iHL_CU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

qotd: Do you prefer city or country living? Why? . Aotd: City living is my favorite because I love walking everywhere, even though I live in the suburbs. . After a wild bet, gourmet grilled-cheese sandwich, and cuddle with a baby goat, Alexis Montgomery has had her world turned upside down. The cause: Daniel Grant, a ridiculously hot carpenter who’s ten years younger than her and as casual as they come—the complete opposite of sophisticated city-girl Alexis. And yet their chemistry is undeniable. While her ultra-wealthy parents want her to carry on the family legacy of world-renowned surgeons, Alexis doesn’t need glory or fame. She’s fine with being a “mere” ER doctor. And every minute she spends with Daniel and the tight-knit town where he lives, she’s discovering just what’s really important. Yet letting their relationship become anything more than a short-term fling would mean turning her back on her family and giving up the opportunity to help thousands of people. Bringing Daniel into her world is impossible, and yet she can’t just give up the joy she’s found with him either. With so many differences between them, how can Alexis possibly choose between her world and his? The New York Times bestselling author of Life's Too Short delivers a refreshingly modern fairy tale perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and Emily Henry. . #booklover #bookstagram #bookishescape #mybookfeatures #readingiscool #bookpic #booksarelife #bookishlove #bookstack #becauseofreading #readingoutside #abbyjiminez #booksandbeans #bookcollection #booksofinstagram #readingtime #amreading #bookaholic #prettybooks #bookreview #bookreviewer #bookobsessed #ilovereading #booksofinstagram #booknerdigans #nakedbooks #bookwormlife #bookcommunity #readmore #readinglife (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnKZL81L7Al/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Qotd: what catches your eye in antique shops? Last thing you bough that was old but new to you? . Books! I bought an English anthology published in 1793. It my precious. . Sometimes treasure can be found where you least expect it. In the decade since high school graduation, Christine Sawyer has realized her dream of opening Treasure Hunting Antique Mall, the place where shoppers find gems that are new to them. Between her store, her house, and her role as a doting aunt, she’s happy with her life–if a bit lonely. But she’s used to being less lucky in love than her fraternal twin sister. Britney was always the popular one, the head cheerleader who dated the homecoming king and quarterback, while Christine stayed in the shadows. Brent Nicholson is still trying to come to grips with the shambles his life has become. After leading his football team to a state championship, he suffered a career-ending injury. Now he’s lost his construction business thanks to his so-called best friend. So when his great-aunt Midge asks for his help readying her home to put it on the market, the opportunity to spend time with his biggest fan is a balm to his bruised soul. But the antiques Brent finds in his aunt’s house lead him to an unexpected partnership with Christine. After being blind to her for so many years, is it too late for the former high school jock to win the heart of the self-proclaimed “nerdy twin”? As they shift through items of the past, Christine and Brent learn to let go of the pieces they don’t want to bring into the future–and realize the value of what’s in front of them today. “Hometown charm and swoon-worthy second chances make this a must read.” –Kristen Mckanagh, author of Snowball’s Christmas . #prelovedbooks #bookstafeatures #bookclubsofinstagram #instabookstagram #bookishgirl #bookreviewer #bookobsessed #ilovereading #booksofinstagram #booknerdigans #bookishaesthetic #booksarelove #bookpicture #cozyreads #bookbuying #booksandcandles #readingtime #readingoutside #booksandwince #booksandtravel #booksandcoffee #booksaremylife #bookslovers #booksy #booksandtea #bookstagrammer #morebooks #SomethingOldSomethingNew #sweetromance #Christianfiction (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnCoAU1rPM2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
