Thank you, partner @bibliolifestyle and @harperviabooks for the gifted copy. QOTD: What books have you read that taught you some history about where you live? FEATURED: THE RADIO OPERATOR PUBLISHED: 5/4/2021 This one sounds interesting to me because it involves NYC history, a radio operator and the them of not being able to run from your past. I am trying to read more translated works and I am finding that I really love some of the stories. I'm curious to see if some of the Harlem history will be familiar to me. 📻 SYNOPSIS 📻 At the end of the 1930s, Europe is engulfed in war. Though America is far from the fighting, the streets of New York have become a battlefield. Anti-Semitic and racist groups spread hate, while German nationalists celebrate Hitler’s strength and power. Josef Klein, a German immigrant, remains immune to the troubles roiling his adopted city. The multicultural neighborhood of Harlem is his world, a lively place full of sidewalk tables where families enjoy their dinner and friends indulge in games of chess.  Josef’s great passion is the radio. His skill and technical abilities attract the attention of influential men who offer him a job as a shortwave operator. But when Josef begins to understand what they’re doing, it’s too late; he’s already a little cog in the big wheel—part of a Nazi espionage network working in Manhattan. Discovered by American authorities, Josef is detained at Ellis Island, and eventually deported to Germany. Back in his homeland, fate leads him to his brother Carl's family, soap merchants in Neuss—where he witnesses the seductive power of the Nazis and the war’s terrible consequences—and finally to South America, where Josef hopes to start over again as José. Eventually, Josef realizes that no matter how far he runs or how hard he tries, there is one indelible truth he cannot escape: How long can you hide from your own past, before it catches up with you? #TheRadioOperator #UllaLenze #MarshallYarbrough #Bibliolifestyle #HarperVia #TranslatedWorks #German #BookFeature #BookTour #Bibliophile #Bookdragon #Books #Bookworm #BookPhotos #bookish #NYCHistory #Hardcover #Reading #Bookstagram #GiftedCopy (at Bk Taco Factory) https://www.instagram.com/p/COqdLQhrG_P/?igshid=ltrvn9is81ux

🌼 Chasing Daffodils by Emily Sam Review! 🌼 • Thank you to @netgalley for allowing me to read and review this #giftedcopy 💛 • Chasing Daffodils was something I have never experienced before. The story contained a beautiful uniqueness that seemed to envelop the entire book. I can’t express it in words, honestly. I don’t know why, but I adored this story 😍 I loved Jade, she held this energy that kind of floated off the page toward the reader. She had her moments that got me frustrated, but it created a realistic feeling which I thought added so much to the book. Jade’s character development throughout the entire novel was executed well, and even though the countless men she dated irritated me, I knew it was a part of her development in the book. Colin...ah, I loved this man alright 😂😍 This was odd for me, because we didn’t have any chapters from Colin’s POV, but his personality really shined through in different situations from Jade’s POV. Again, it’s odd because usually I wouldn’t be able to connect with a character if they didn’t have their own POV, but this wasn’t the case with Chasing Daffodils. Honestly, Emily Sam executed this brilliantly in my opinion 🦋 There’s just one thing, one thing that I craved for and that was for Jade and Colin to have more time together. I felt that those moments between them were neglected, and I wish the feelings between them were expressed more throughout the novel. Don’t get me wrong, Jade and Colin shared a beautiful bond, one that wasn’t always described, but one that you could feel through the book. Other than that, I am still in awe! I will say this again, I don’t know what it is, but this book has me in love with the story. I’m definitely keeping an eye out for more books by Emily Sam, there’s just something about her writing that is just purely amazing 💛 I would recommend this book to those who love slow-burn romance, the room-mate trope, and a bit of humour! My rating: ⅘ ✨ • QOTD: what's your favorite flower? And why? • • •

Bedlam by LJ Ross

Today I am sharing my thoughts on Bedlam by LJ Ross, book three in the Alexander Gregory series. @LJRoss_author

Today I’m sharing my thoughts on Bedlam, the brand new Dr Alexander Gregory thriller from LJ Ross. HIgh stakes, tense, thrill filled storytelling at its best. I was lucky enough to be gifted a copy of the audiobook by publisher W. F. Howes Ltd, which is out today, a lovely accompaniment on my daily walk. Here’s what it’s all about:

Thanks to @bibliolifestyle and @williammorrowbooks for the gifted copy. QOTD: Do you prefer a fast- paced story that makes your heart race or a slow burn with a killer ending? Lola on Fire released February 16, 2021 and it's guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat. It's chock full of action with a cast of characters that you will never forget. If you're a thriller lover, make sure you pick this one up and hold on tight because you're in for a wild ride. 🧨🔥🧨SYNOPSIS:🧨🔥🧨 Brody Ellis is short on luck and even shorter on cash to buy the medication his sister Molly needs. Desperate, he robs a convenience store, but on the way out, he bumps into a young woman and loses his wallet. Just when he expects the cops to arrive, the phone rings. It’s Blair Mayo—the woman he bumped into—and she’s got the missing billfold. Brody will get it back, but only if he does her a favor: steal her late mother’s diamonds from her wicked stepmom. But when he gets to the house, he finds a gruesome crime scene—and a security camera. Brody knows he’s been framed. Back home, the terrified young man gets another call. The police won’t get the incriminating video footage, Blair says. Instead, her daddy, the notorious mobster Jimmy Latzo, will exact his own kind of revenge. Brody and Molly realize that they’ve become pawns in a mysterious game—one that involves a notorious enforcer named Lola Bear who brutally crossed paths with Jimmy Latzo twenty-six years before. . . a ghost from the past who is intimately connected to their lives. #LolaonFire #bibliolifestyle #thriller #RioYouers #williammorrow #books #bookfeature #booktour #bookphoto #bookstagram #bookdragon #gifted #bibliophile #reading #giftedcopy #thrillernerdigans #thrillerlover #fastpacedbooks #bookrecs #vengeance #newrelease #deceit #hardcovers #nerdlife #bookworm #bookaddict #murder #enforcer #secretsandlies #blackspines (at Bushwick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLnJuEeg87X/?igshid=3nc36yb0h4gy
