I've got 6 hours in the car before we get to the coast, so there's no better time to finish this amazing book! Who reads cozy mysteries?? I've seen them around, but this is the first one I've actually read. I'm loving it! Luck and the Falling Felon (the Carriage House Capers #1) by Emmy Grace: **Lucky Boucher never has to go looking for trouble. Trouble finds her just fine all on its own. ** What do a dead guy, a stolen pig, and night vision goggles have in common? Me. Hi, I’m Annabelle Boucher, but everyone calls me Lucky. Despite my nickname, I’m a magnet for trouble. I can get myself into more jams and pickles than ants at a picnic. My most recent predicament involves being nearly killed by a dead body then finding a note that implicates me in the murder. My only option is to find the killer and clear my name. Fortunately, I have the help of a surly ex FBI agent, a 102-year-old mobster that looks like Mrs. Claus, and my wacky menagerie of rescue animals. Many of my stories begin with me doing something “inadvisable” and end with me catching a criminal. This one is no different. But you’ll soon learn that, with me, the middle is where things always get interesting. #luckyandthefallingfelon #emmygrace #cozymystery #bookstagram #instabook #instaread #bookstagram #bookish #amreading via Instagram https://ift.tt/2LLP0Ec

📚 Anyone else love this cookbook? 📚 I wish Salt Fat Acid Heat had been around when I first started cooking. Explain the why and how, then you don't need recipes! Genius. Now, that's not saying I don't screw my food up all the time, but I think that's just me being me. 😉 So, what other cookbooks are must haves? #saltfatacidheat #saltfatacidheatcookbook #saminnosrat #cookbook #bookstagram #instabook #instaread #amreading #bookish via Instagram https://ift.tt/2QcGvrA

While I'm waiting for some blueberry 🍪 muffins to cook, I'll be Waiting for Tom Hanks! 😁📚 Synopsis: Can a romcom-obssessed romantic finally experience the meet-cute she always dreamed of or will reality never compare to fiction, in this charming debut adult novel from Kerry Winfrey. Annie Cassidy dreams of being the next Nora Ephron. She spends her days writing screenplays, rewatching Sleepless in Seattle, and waiting for her movie-perfect meet-cute. If she could just find her own Tom Hanks—a man who’s sweet, sensitive, and possibly owns a houseboat—her problems would disappear and her life would be perfect. But Tom Hanks is nowhere in sight. When a movie starts filming in her neighborhood and Annie gets a job on set, it seems like a sign. Then Annie meets the lead actor, Drew Danforth, a cocky prankster who couldn’t be less like Tom Hanks if he tried. Their meet-cute is more of a meet-fail, but soon Annie finds herself sharing some classic rom-com moments with Drew. Her Tom Hanks can’t be an actor who’s leaving town in a matter of days...can he? #waitingfortomhanks #kerrywinfrey #amreading #instaread #bookstagram #instabook #bookish via Instagram https://ift.tt/31T2dl5

I am such a sucker for fairytales retold! 🧚‍♂️🧜‍♀️🧝‍♀️🧞‍♂️ And tea. Especially bookish teas. 📚☕ This months Owlcrate ticks both boxes! ✔ House of Salt and Sorrows synopsis: "An eerie, lovely 'Twelve Dancing Princesses' retelling full of ghosts and gods and a fascinating waterfront world and I'm reading it from behind my fingers." -Melissa Albert In a manor by the sea, twelve sisters are cursed. Annaleigh lives a sheltered life at Highmoor, a manor by the sea, with her sisters, their father, and stepmother. Once they were twelve, but loneliness fills the grand halls now that four of the girls' lives have been cut short. Each death was more tragic than the last—the plague, a plummeting fall, a drowning, a slippery plunge—and there are whispers throughout the surrounding villages that the family is cursed by the gods. Disturbed by a series of ghostly visions, Annaleigh becomes increasingly suspicious that the deaths were no accidents. Her sisters have been sneaking out every night to attend glittering balls, dancing until dawn in silk gowns and shimmering slippers, and Annaleigh isn't sure whether to try to stop them or to join their forbidden trysts. Because who—or what—are they really dancing with? When Annaleigh's involvement with a mysterious stranger who has secrets of his own intensifies, it's a race to unravel the darkness that has fallen over her family—before it claims her next. #owlcrate #houseofsaltandsorrows #erinacraig #riddlesteashoppe #seawitch #booksandtea #amreading #instaread #bookstagram #instabook via Instagram https://ift.tt/2Z3aJkF

When one of your favorite authors recommends a book, you jump on it, right? 😊 (BTW...thank you @monicamurphyauthor !) The reviews for On the Island are overwhelmingly positive! I was such a huge fan of Heart Shaped Hack, so I'm dying to jump in with both feet! Synopsis: When thirty-year-old English teacher Anna Emerson is offered a job tutoring T.J. Callahan at his family's summer rental in the Maldives, she accepts without hesitation; a working vacation on a tropical island trumps the library any day. T.J. Callahan has no desire to leave town, not that anyone asked him. He's almost seventeen and if having cancer wasn't bad enough, now he has to spend his first summer in remission with his family - and a stack of overdue assignments -- instead of his friends. Anna and T.J. are en route to join T.J.'s family in the Maldives when the pilot of their seaplane suffers a fatal heart attack and crash-lands in the Indian Ocean. Adrift in shark-infested waters, their life jackets keep them afloat until they make it to the shore of an uninhabited island. Now Anna and T.J. just want to survive and they must work together to obtain water, food, fire, and shelter. Their basic needs might be met but as the days turn to weeks, and then months, the castaways encounter plenty of other obstacles, including violent tropical storms, the many dangers lurking in the sea, and the possibility that T.J.'s cancer could return. As T.J. celebrates yet another birthday on the island, Anna begins to wonder if the biggest challenge of all might be living with a boy who is gradually becoming a man. #tracygarvisgraves #heartshapedhack #ontheisland #amreading #instaread #bookstagram #instabook via Instagram https://ift.tt/31DewlA

And two inquisitive boys standing precariously on the brink of adulthood will soon discover the secret of the satanic raree-show's smoke, mazes, and mirrors, as they learn all too well the heavy cost of wishes - and the stuff of nightmare. #raybradbury #fahrenheit451 #somethingwickedthiswaycomes #amreading #instaread #bookstagram #instabook via Instagram https://ift.tt/2YRgPVj

📚I bought one book with an adorable cover (Save the Date by Monica Murphy) on Amazon, and now they keep recommending all these other irresistible covers on books by authors I love!📚 I loved all of Samanth Young's other books and this one sounds even better! Synopsis: A series of chance encounters leads to a sizzling new romance from the New York Times bestselling author of the On Dublin Street series. The universe is conspiring against Ava Breevort. As if flying back to Phoenix to bury a childhood friend wasn't hell enough, a cloud of volcanic ash traveling from overseas delayed her flight back home to Boston. Her last ditch attempt to salvage the trip was thwarted by an arrogant Scotsman, Caleb Scott, who steals a first class seat out from under her. Then over the course of their journey home, their antagonism somehow lands them in bed for the steamiest layover Ava's ever had. And that's all it was--until Caleb shows up on her doorstep. When pure chance pulls Ava back into Caleb's orbit, he proposes they enjoy their physical connection while he's stranded in Boston. Ava agrees, knowing her heart's in no danger since a) she barely likes Caleb and b) his existence in her life is temporary. Not long thereafter Ava realizes she's made a terrible error because as it turns out Caleb Scott isn't quite so unlikeable after all. When his stay in Boston becomes permanent, Ava must decide whether to fight her feelings for him or give into them. But even if she does decide to risk her heart on Caleb, there is no guarantee her stubborn Scot will want to risk his heart on her... #samanthayoung #fightorflight #amreading #instaread #bookstagram #instabook via Instagram https://ift.tt/2GZ5HdP

📚 Today's waiting room reading: The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman. 📚 Synopsis: The only child of a single mother, Nina has her life just as she wants it: a job in a bookstore, a kick-butt trivia team, a world-class planner and a cat named Phil. If she sometimes suspects there might be more to life than reading, she just shrugs and picks up a new book. When the father Nina never knew existed suddenly dies, leaving behind innumerable sisters, brothers, nieces, and nephews, Nina is horrified. They all live close by! They're all—or mostly all—excited to meet her! She'll have to Speak. To. Strangers. It's a disaster! And as if that wasn't enough, Tom, her trivia nemesis, has turned out to be cute, funny, and deeply interested in getting to know her. Doesn't he realize what a terrible idea that is? Nina considers her options. 1. Completely change her name and appearance. (Too drastic, plus she likes her hair.) 2. Flee to a deserted island. (Hard pass, see: coffee). 3. Hide in a corner of her apartment and rock back and forth. (Already doing it.) It's time for Nina to come out of her comfortable shell, but she isn't convinced real life could ever live up to fiction. It's going to take a brand-new family, a persistent suitor, and the combined effects of ice cream and trivia to make her turn her own fresh page. #thebookishlifeofninahill #abbiwaxman #bookstagram #instabook #instaread #amreading via Instagram https://ift.tt/2YN34WS

When you're exhausted from being on the lake all day, what do you do?? 🚤 You read! 📚 How to Stop Time synopsis: Tom Hazard has just moved back to London, his old home, to settle down and become a high school history teacher.

He may look like an ordinary 41-year-old, but owing to a rare condition, he's been alive for centuries. Tom has lived history--performing with Shakespeare, exploring the high seas with Captain Cook, and sharing cocktails with Fitzgerald. Now, he just wants an ordinary life. Unfortunately for Tom, the Albatross Society, the secretive group which protects people like Tom, has one rule: Never fall in love. As painful memories of his past and the erratic behavior of the Society's watchful leader threaten to derail his new life and romance, the one thing he can't have just happens to be the one thing that might save him.
