Speaking of...Book of the month Add-on’s!⠀ .⠀ I’ve been seeing a ton of questions on Facebook & Instagram where folks are asking what add-ons they should put into their blue boxes each month! I’m here to help y’all out. I’ve put together my full list of add-on recommendations that are showing as option on BOTM website currently. My number 1 recommend is actually a tie between: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, The Girls, & The Hearts Invisible Furies! These are three of my all time favorite books and I highly recommend them! Head over to the blog for my full list of recommendations! ⠀ .⠀ What is everyone picking for their April boxes?? Any major add-ons you’d recommend??⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #speakingof #speakingofbotm #speakingofbooks #speakingofblog #bookblogger #bookofthemonth #botm #alwaysreading #thesevenhusbandsofevelynhugo #nothingtoseehere #bringingdowntheduke #thetenthousanddoorsofjanuary #circe #theblinds #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #booklover #alwaysreading #booksubscriptionbox #reader #bookstabuddies📚 #riotgram #yelpreads
Speaking of....⠀ .⠀ Why is Sadie Lady Smiling??? Two main reasons: 1. It’s Friday! 2. All this book mail from @bostonbookfanatic and @downtogetthefictionon! I was one of their giveaway winners last week and let’s just say this was the perfect remedy for an otherwise anxiety ridden week! I cannot wait to dive into these! ⠀ .⠀ What books are you planning to read this weekend since we all know self-isolation is still in effect and nobody is going out. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #speakingofbookmail #bookmail #ladysadie #smilingdogs #bookstack #speakingofbooks #speakingof #pupsandpages #ladysadie #youarenotalone #theothermrs #thedjinnpatrol #postscript #mrnobody #booklover #bookstagrammer ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #petsandpages
Speaking of...Book Reveiw! ⠀ .⠀ Welcome to #thirstythursday with Sadie & Allie. Today we’re drinking my take on a sparkling cosmo. Mainly because we didn’t have triple sec & I wanted champagne mixed in. #creativefreedom. Also Sadie isn’t in this picture because she kept trying to lick all the sugar off the rim, dogs amiright. ⠀ .⠀ I mainly decided to pick this up yesterday because the hubby and me are impatiently waiting for the new season of Ozarks to be available tomorrow. I was immediately sucked into the story of Eve and her small town in the Ozarks. The character development is brilliant and while I didn’t like them I loved their interactions with each other and their flaws. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ To find out more reasons why I loved the book, head over to the blog for my full review, link in bio! ⠀ .⠀ The Familiar Dark comes out next Tuesday March 31st. Thank you @duttonbooks for my eARC! Synopsis below 👇🏼 ⠀ .⠀ ⠀ Set in the poorest part of the Missouri Ozarks, in a small town with big secrets, The Familiar Dark opens with a murder. Eve Taggert, desperate with grief over losing her daughter, takes it upon herself to find out the truth about what happened. Eve is no stranger to the dark side of life, having been raised by a hard-edged mother whose lessons Eve tried not to pass on to her own daughter. But Eve may need her mother’s cruel brand of strength if she’s going to face the reality about her daughter’s death and about her own true nature. Her quest for justice takes her from the seedy underbelly of town to the quiet woods and, most frighteningly, back to her mother’s trailer for a final lesson.⠀ .⠀ #speakingof #currentlyreading #speakingofbooks #bookblogger #sablogger #drinkingandreading #happyhour #bookreviewer #thefamiliardark #duttonbooks #amyengel #thrillerbooks #mysterybooks #alwaysreading #bookrecommendation #bookreview #bookreviewsneedlovetoo #notjustaprettybook
Speaking of...Book Review⠀ .⠀ Who likes magic books? Who liked the series ‘A Discovery of Witches’? I did and if you did too then The Age of Witches which comes out April 7th should be on your radar. ⠀ .⠀ I love the raw magic displayed in this book and that fact that it’s intention & herb based. I love gardening and I felt that this book taught me a little more about herbs, which is cool. But overall the writing in this book was beautiful and had a great plot without romance being the center of the story. ⠀ .⠀ ⠀ In 1692, Bridget Bishop was hanged as a witch. Two hundred years later, her legacy lives on in the scions of two very different lines: one dedicated to using their powers to heal and help women in need; the other, determined to grasp power for themselves. This clash will play out in the fate of Annis, a young woman in Gilded Age New York who finds herself a pawn in the family struggle for supremacy. She'll need to claim her own power to save herself - and resist succumbing to the darkness that threatens to overcome them all. ⠀ .⠀ I was hooked on this book and gave it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I’m probably going to pick up Lousia Morgan’s first book of witches. Head over to my blog to see my full review of the book, link in bio! Huge thanks to #redhookbooks & @netgalley for my copy! ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #theageofwitches #aprilrelease #newbooks ##speakingofbookreview #speakingofbooks #speakingofblog #bookblogger #sablogger #witchybooks #magicbooks #louisamorgan #bookstabuddies📚 #bookriot #bookobsessed #booklover #alwaysreading #bookstagram #bookreview #bookreviewer #bookreviewsneedlovetoo #notjustaprettybook
