Lunar Love, by Lauren Kung Jessen, is a sweet romcom with rival Chinese-zodiac matchmaking agencies.There are multiple meet-cutes, good friends and bad puns, a special grandmother-granddaughter relationship (another reason this is a good read for fans of The Matchmaker's Gift), lots of tasty Chinese food and baked treats, and zany rom-com dating mishaps. I was going to find some 2023 CNY decor for this one, but it turns out the theme of the book is about enjoying and respecting the Chinese zodiac while not being completely locked into the rules... so here's my tiger year tea caddy and my ox year journal! Do you know your horoscope sign? Do you think it's a good fit for you? #LunarLove #LunarNewYear #ReadForeverPub #FoodieRomance #romcom #LaurenKungJessen #lunarnewyear #新年快乐 #newreleases #whatImreading @readforeverpub @laurenkjessen #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #minibookreview #bookblogger #bookrecommendations #bookrec #readersofinstagram #readersofig #bookishfriends #booksofig #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #readersofig #bookish https://www.instagram.com/p/CnVVzkwvheH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We didn’t choose this life. We’re just trying to survive it. - Neon Gods by @katee_robert ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ Spending the weekend in southern Illinois for a family reunion. It's been especially nice to see my cousin and her daughter, they live in Japan and haven't been able to visit because of Covid. We're all big readers, but I didn't realize how much my first cousin (once removed) likes spicy books. Almost as much as I do. This book has been on my TBR, but its going to get bumped up now that she's reading it. ☆Do you have any reading buddies or family that aren't just online?☆ ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ #readersofinstagram #bookstagram #bookswelove #bookaholic #booklover #booklife #bookaddict #kateerobert #neongods #bookishfriends #bookishfamily https://www.instagram.com/p/CfiT8ZvADbB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Getting the Aardvark Book Box is slowly but surely becoming the most awaited action on my monthly calendar- if there’s a gripe I have to pick, it’s just that they allow only 3 picks!! March especially tempted me to pick all their selections 📚📚 So without further ado let’s go into my picks for this month.. Big Swiss by Jen Beagin explores the voyeuristic relationship between Greta and Flavia, albeit the origin of the questionable relation lies in the transcription of Flavian’s confession to Greta’s therapist! Soon to be adapted into an HBO show, this one promises to be a cracker. The Magician’s Daughter by H.G.Parry takes us into a magical place, Hy-Brasil which Biddy inhabits with her guardian, the mercurial magician Rowan. One night, Rowan fails to return from his mysterious travels. To find him, Biddy must venture into the outside world for the first time. But Rowan has powerful enemies—forces who have hoarded the world’s magic and have set their sights on the magician’s many secrets. Biddy may be the key to stopping them. Yet the closer she gets to answers, the more she questions everything she’s ever believed about Rowan, her past, and the nature of magic itself. Magic 🪄 The final pick had to be 48 Clues into the Disappearance of my Sister by the author of Blonde- Joyce Carol Oates- do I say more? Happy Publication Day btw 🥳 The premise of this one gives me The Gone Girl vibes and should be fascinating . What were your picks? 📚 #bookfollow #bookishfollow #booksofig #bookishpost #bookstagram #bookishfriends #bookcommunity #readersofinstagram #aardvarkbookclub #fantasy #thriller ##lgbtq🌈 #happypubday #contemporary #womenshistorymonth #bigswiss #48cluesintothedisappearanceofmysister #themagiciansdaughter #hgparry #joycecaroloates #blonde #romancebooks #jenbeagin https://www.instagram.com/p/CpwBtPZr17P/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🎄Christmas Baggage by Deborah M. Hathaway ✨ Review - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was a sweet, fun, heartwarming book. Loved the Christmas day HEA, and touring around London. I enjoyed the descriptions of places while sightseeing, especially the Christmas markets. I also loved getting a more in depth look at English life and language. There were a few things I looked up, like a 'butty', because I had never heard of it before. London is a place I'd love to visit one day. The characters were relatable, which caused the heartstrings to be pulled a few times. I didn't need tissues, but got misty-eyed a couple times. This is a good one to add to your Christmas romance list. 🎄❤️ #ReadingAddict #ReadingBooks #ReadingRocks #Bookstagrammer #BooksToRead #BooksAndCoffee #BooksOfInstagram #BookNerd #BookishFriends #VirtuallyBetweenTheCovers #📖❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CkN8wQpLlnu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

FINALLY! Lol! A few of you know what I have been dealing with as far as seeing, receiving and starting groups and individual messages! And because of this I haven't been able to set up any trains! I thought it was corrected and then I couldn't see ANYTHING until 2 weeks ago! I've been trying off and on for the past month or so to start another page so we could get back to offering trains and today I finally got it up! Since I still can't start group chats I will still speed trains on this page I'll announce train sign ups on each page but the other page will be different for the followers. On this page there will be random sign ups as needed! The other page there will be weekly offerings! That's the only difference! This SUNDAY will be the first train sign up since since March! So keep an eye out! I'm looking forward to being able to talk to all of you again and meet some new bookish friends! It's been too long! The new page @thepageladies6 Talk to you guys soon! #books #read #booklover #booknerd #reader #bookworm #bookish #bookishpost #booknerdigan #booksta #bookstagramfriends #bookishfriends #bookstagram #igreaders #bookstagrammer #readingisfun #readersofig #readerscommunity #BookCommunity #bookreader #bookstagramfollowtrain #bookishfollowtrain #readstagram #readstagrammer #lovetoread #booksbooksbooks #readreadread #readingisfun #bookstagramfollow #bookishfollowloop (at Cleveland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdcDYqtrPIV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ A December BoTM pick for me- this was my first introduction to the world building by Stacy Willingham. The author was high up on my TBR list due to the rave reviews of her debut effort A Flicker in the Dark and the hype was largely worth it. The story revolves around Isabelle Drake, who is surviving on a belief that her absconding son is alive, a year on- although the cops, the world around and even her husband have all given up hope. A parallel narrative takes us into Isabelle’s past with a history of sleep walking and a guilt which connects the past and present. Does the introduction of a true crime podcaster help uncover the mysterious disappearance or will she end up framing herself forms the crux. The book and author spends sometime taking us into the psyche of a grieving mom and a guilt ridden sister, and these are portions where the book shines. Fair warning- this would be slow and not everyone’s cup of tea. Isabelle’s character was another major highlight. The book however falters in the final stretch. The post natal depression, though well researched reminded a lot of The Push. Another disappointment was the limited usage of the podcast angle. However, the biggest sore point was the eventual reveal which came out of the blue and felt forced. Nevertheless the journey to the end was refreshing, character and kept me entertained. #BookReview #Bookstagram #BOTM #bookfollow #bookishfollow #booksofig #bookishpost #bookstagram #bookishfriends #bookcommunity #readersofinstagram #DecemberBOTM #allthedangerousthings #aflickerinthedark #stacywillingham #truecrime #podcast #thriller #books #mentalhealth #postnataldepression #mentalhealthawareness #mystery https://www.instagram.com/p/Co3RND7LqnV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
