I’ll never be able to properly put into words what Mary Oliver’s work means to me and how I feel when I read her words. I’m grateful I found a voice to lead me out of the hole I was digging, to further separate myself from the world. I’ve always loved the world, but as I got older the pain was overwhelming. I didn’t know what to do with the love in me. Oliver reminds me how important that love is and how to honor it.

Here is a recent article I wrote about my historical adventure series The Richard Davey Chronicles for @readersmagnet Authors’ Lounge. I hope you enjoy it.

I am hopeful the third book will be out sometime in spring 2023. It is entitled Rescuing Richard.

Thank you to @books.andlucy for tagging me in the #thisorthatbookwormchallenge ☕️ Paperback or hardcover? I’m team paperback! I will get a hardcover only if I find the design prettier (yes, I’m judging books by their cover) ☕️Series or standalone? I prefer standalone books but I’ll definitely fall for a good saga. ☕️Indoors or outdoors? I really like reading outdoors, I find I concentrate a lot more than when I’m home. ☕️Books that make you cry or laugh? If I hear someone say “this book crushed my soul and ripped my hear out” you bet it’s gonna go on my amazon cart. ☕️Hero or Villain? Villain all the way. I love a good hero, but I find stories told from the point of view of the villain a lot more interesting. But tbh, I prefer characters that are a little bit of both. . Please feel free to do the challenge, I had a lot of fun. . #bookstagram #instabook #bookphotography #bookporn #igbooks #ilovereading #bookhaul #bookhoarder #bookaddiction #bookstoread #whattoread #fortheloveofbooks #bookblogging #bookpics #weekendreads #bookrecs #booknerdproblems #bookpictures #bookstagram #amreading #booksbooksbooks #instablog #booknerds #bookphotos #bibliophile #bookworm #booksandcoffee #bookishgirl #potd #tag (at Madrid, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnE3aSFtYVK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I discovered this book as I was laying in bed enjoying my ongoing battle with what I can only assume is the flu. I easily managed to read Ivy Smoak’s Temptation in less than four hours. While there are a few quirks which I will discuss later, the potent attraction between Penny and Professor Hunter drives the story forward relentlessly. 

The main reason that I would suggest Temptation as an addition to anyone’s TBR list is based entirely on the chemistry between the two main characters. This story is a prime example of one that would be classified as an easy read. 

I am going to be incredibly blunt right now,.. The only part of this book that stands out in my memory is the chemistry that I mentioned between Penny and Professor Hunter. The other aspects of the story blended together and left a lackluster taste in this reader’s mouth. 

Now, there was obviously something about this story that kept my attention. Obviously, since I read the entire book in one sitting. Basically, if you are looking for a quick read filled with scenes that will have you reaching for the toys you keep hidden then give this one a try. 

Did anyone else have mixed feelings??

Onward to the next adventure fellow bookworms,

Employing Patience (Divorced Men's Club #4) by Saxon James

Reading this ARC of “Employing Patience” by @saxonjameswrites .. it’s good.. I’m enjoying it. Book Review: ***Spoilers here and there*** I got this book as a ARC from the author. To give a honest review. So with that being said I can say it is a five star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating. I definitely enjoyed both Art and Joey story. And to see how Joey got Art. To see how Art finally gave in to Joey.…

🍂INTLGIVEAWAY🍂 Would you rather see ghosts or see the future? 📚👀 . Today is our tour stop for The Book and the Blade by A.B. Finlayson! A perfect story for fans of Gaiman and Pratchett’s Good Omens, Shaun of the Dead and The World's End. Arthur Crazy is drunk and seeing ghosts. Too inebriated to recall how he stumbled upon his nascent power, Arthur is burdened with newfound responsibility: he’s the only one who can hear the unfinished business of every dead guy in York, and he’s the only one who can help.
.
{Book Review} The Book and the Blade is a heartwarming & darkly funny read featuring a man who happens to see ghosts all around York, while being drunk. It’s in parts a self-reflective read of early years in life and the dead-ends of not seeking ways to improve or move on. Since we get to meet many ghosts, the cast is wonderfully dynamic & it never once stopped from being an entertaining read! This book is the first installment of a new series (out now from Parliament House Press) so I am really curious what will come next in the Arthur Crazy series!

✨Review✨ Heaven by Mieko Kawakami ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you have been thinking about reading this book, this is your sign to go pick it up! #chefskiss . SOPOILERS . Yesterday I finished reading this little piece of gold. Heaven is the story of two teenagers being bullied at school and forming a platonic friendship. The book has this Gorgeous dialogues between these two characters whose social ineptitude make for interesting, deep and unfiltered conversations about life, society and purpose. My favorite character was the protagonist’s stepmother, they have all these wholesome interactions and she seems to love her stepson so much. I just loved all scenes where the two of them were together. Mieko Kawakami has a talent for creating characters that seem real, they all give the impression of having a backstory even if it’s not written in the paper as such, you just feel how much she cared about all of them and every detail. I also (And here comes a little spoiler) particularly enjoyed a conversation he has with one of his bullies about the reason behind all the abuse and it is enlightening how this character has completely separated morality from human behavior and seems to find it unnatural and nonsensical to even think about the relation of the two. As opposed to Kojima’s character who sees her own bulling as part of an almost religious experience of enlightenment. . This book was at times adorable and at other times heartbreaking, but it had my heart from beginning to end. Would highly recommend. . Have you read any of Mieko Kawakami’s books? . . ##bookstagram #instabook #bookphotography #bookporn #igbooks #ilovereading #bookhaul #bookhoarder #bookaddiction #bookstoread #whattoread #bibliophile #igreads #currentlyreading #bookreview #instaread #lovetoread #booksarelife #readingisfundamental #whatimreading #bookreviewer #bookaddicts #bookpost #tbrpile #justread #bookrecs #cozy (at Madrid, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CneEVFjtjwa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
