giveaway ✨ . How are you spending your day today? I went on a true crime binge last night and I’m feeling pretty exhausted today! So I’m not sure what all I will do yet! . Some secrets are better left buried... 1834. Sophia Thompson wants nothing more than to be one of the famed Bow Street Runners, London's most elite corps of detectives. Never mind that a woman has never before joined their ranks--and certainly never mind that her reclusive family has forbidden her from pursuing such an unladylike goal. A twisty tale reminiscent of Jane Austen—with a dash of murder—Cindy Anstey's Deadly Curious is perfect for fans of Kerri Maniscalco and Agatha Christie. .

“Humanity is so weird. If we’re not laughing, we’re crying or running for our lives because monsters are trying to eat us. And they don’t even have to be real monsters. They could be the ones we make up in our heads. Don’t you think that’s weird?” “I suppose. But I’d rather be that way than the alternative.” “Which is?” “Not feel anything at all.” . 🌈REVIEW🌈 Title: The House in the Cerulean Sea Format: Print Fave Character: Lucy 😈 Rating: every single star in the universe ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Synopsis in comments) The House in the Cerulean Sea is easily a top book of 2020 for me. I will be forever grateful to @br.enda for sharing her love for it, which caused me to buy it. I’ve not read anything so reflective and heartwarming in a long time. So many reviews I’ve seen talked about how you can’t help but smile when reading this book, and that’s the truth! It left the biggest grin on my face and tears flowing because of just how beautiful it is. While this book left me with ALLLLL the warm and fuzzies, it definitely wasn’t all warm and fuzzy on the journey there. The message of this story is so deep and something in our current climate that is extremely important. The story touches on prejudices and being quick to judge someone because they aren’t the same as you. It just has the most incredible message. It also is the perfect read for Pride Month, and the romance is the best slow burn everrrrrrrrr. 👌🏽Linus is precious! I could forever live in this world, and will always be hoping for more. . Is this one on your tbr? Have you read it? What’s one thing that has made you smile today? . . . #thehouseintheceruleansea #tjklune #torbooks #bookreview #warmandfuzzy #pride2020 #booknerd #beautifulbooks #coverlove #calm_collected #slowlivingforlife #ofquietmoments #slowandsimpledays #thedarlingmovement #seekthesimplicity #wondermore #idratherbereading #cozyvibes #bibliophile #bookaesthetic #makemoments #dowhatmakesyouhappy #prettythings #livethelittlethings #bibliofeature #totalbooknerd (at Memphis, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CByNemPHmTH/?igshid=1azk8ixks4x4d

💗REVIEW💗 Hi, yes it’s me. I’m posting an actual review on my feed. 😱 I have a highlight on my account for them, but I’m seeing that most of you really enjoy them in feed thanks to @readingwithmegan poll she did recently, soooo....I’m going to work on that. Be warned...I am not an eloquent writer in any way, shape, or form. 😘 . Format: Audio Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Synopsis in comments) Love love love. I was honestly already thinking about when I could reread this WHILE I was reading it. I can’t believe I waited so long to dive into this one! It’s been on my shelves for years now. This story was full of complex characters and a unique world, which means it was kind of a slower story than I usually care for, but yet it worked. I love Paige so much. She’s such a strong heroine and I felt like she had a good bit of growth in this book, and I hope for so much more in the sequel. Warden...oh Warden...I have such hope he will be back in such a big way in the next installment and I’m so ready. I did listen to the audio for this one, which I felt like really made it even better. The narrator is amazing and they just typically help me when a book is slower paced. I will definitely be starting Mime VERY soon! . So guys, how’d I do? 🤣 Has anyone else read this series? Planning to? I highly recommend it! And do you guys review everything you read? Tell me how you do it! . Alsoooooo you see these amazing new Tolv earbuds recently gifted to me from @sudio ? They ROCK! These aren’t the first product I’ve had from this company and I’ve always been super impressed by the quality of them! Head over and check out their products and use decorating15 to save!!! 🎧 . . . #sudio #sudiomoments #theboneseason #samanthashannon #goodreads #bookreview #audiobooks #bookstagrammer #titlepage #simpledecor #plantsplantsplants #cosyhome #booknook #readingnook #bookstagram #quiettime #lovelyinterior #calmness #slowstyle (at Memphis, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBvkUvqHqsS/?igshid=igi3c49ntolj

Today I’m participating in @thereadingchemist and @readingmama_reviews stack challenge to celebrate Juneteenth! #blackstoriesstack Juneteenth is the celebration of slavery officially being ended in the United States on June 19, 1865.
