Hello everyone and Happy New Releases Tuesday! Today is the release day of many great books and among them is one that I have heard many good things from book reviewers tht I trust. I am talking about The Cuckoo by Leo Carew which is an epic fantasy and the 3rd book in the Under the Northern Sky series. The other two books are The Wolf and The Spider. *** Here is the synopsis but keep in mind that it might contain spoilers for the previous books: Albion continues to be divided by revolt and bloodshed, as alliances collapse and are made anew. Driven obsessively for glory, the upstart Bellamus and his exiled queen Aramilla are marshalling resistance and building a powerful army. Returning to the Hindrunn, Keturah is forced to fend for herself, battling enemies on all sides just when she is most in need of a place of safety. And all the while, the young Black Lord must deal not only with the aftermath of a great betrayal, but the cold shadow of the Kryptea, threatening to destroy everything he has fought for... *** #TheCuckoo #UnderTheNorthernSky #LeoCarew Challenges: #LMSDecember2022 - Worth The Hype #MyFandomObsessionsDec22 - The City of Brass: non-western world or metallic colors #fantasyreader #fantasybook #bookaddict #bookcommunity #readingismagic #bookblogger #bookreviewer #greekbookstagram #instavivlio #vivlio #diavazo #eucitesc #mybookfeatures #over30sbookstagram #bookstamums #booknotes_athina (at Sitia , Crête) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl1gIlWreV7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

QOTD: What are you ending the year off with? ☺️ I’m currently making my way through The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by @veschwab but the ebook format. I wish I had the book because it has such gorgeous editions! 🙌 I’m about halfway through but intrigued to see where this book takes me. ≈ ≈ ≈ ≈ BLURB France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets. Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world. But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name. ≈ ≈ ≈ ≈ Book Challenges: • Cozy reads by @pagesandbeyond #beyondpages • Library book by @booknookbingo #booknookbingo • Wrap up by @warhawkesvault #shhstagramdec22 • Main character love by @littlemisstar55 #lmsdecember2022 (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmtm_bqrdsS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Essentials when reading and writing a book review 💙 How do you go about tracking your reading? 🥳 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ = BLURB = Cara Hawn’s life fell apart after her father cheated on her mother and got remarried to a woman Cara can’t stand. When Cara accidentally posts a rant about her father online, it goes viral��and catches the attention of the TV producers behind a new reality dating show for single parent families. 👀 The next thing Cara and her mother know, they’ve been cast as leads on the show and are whisked away to sunny Key West where they’re asked to narrow a field of suitors and their kids down to one winning pair. All of this is outside of Cara’s comfort zone, from the meddling producers to the camera-hungry contestants, especially as Cara and her mother begin to clash on which suitors are worth keeping around. And then comes Connor. 😪 As the son of a contestant, Connor is decidedly off-limits. Except that he doesn’t fit in with the cutthroat atmosphere in all the same ways as Cara, and she can’t get him out of her head. Now Cara must juggle her growing feelings while dodging the cameras and helping her mom pick a bachelor they both love, or else risk fracturing their family even more for the sake of ratings. Maybe there’s a reason most people don’t date on TV.🥴 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Book Challenges: • Stand-alone by @pagesandbeyond #beyondpages • Holiday read and library book by @booknookbingo #booknookbingo • Best endings by @warhawkesvault #shhstagramdec22 • Book and prop by @littlemissstar55 #lmsdecember2022 • Mistletoe by @booksandcoffeewithashley #booksandcoffeeindecember22 (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmHDm33yx_3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“...it is well known that a vital ingredient of success is not knowing that what you're attempting can't be done.” ― Terry Pratchett, Equal Rites I wanted to read a Terry Pratchett book for awhile and when I saw these new audiobooks I couldn't resist. I really enjoyed this book. It is funny but also tackles some more serious issues, such as sexism. This is the third book in the Discword universe but the first in the Witches series and also a good entry point to the world. We meet Granny Weatherwax, who is jus perfect. I really liked Terry Pratchett's writing . Equal Rites is an original and funny fantasy book. I am already continuing with the series and now that I started Discword, I don't think that I will stop. Also I want to mention that the audiobooks are really good. The narrators do a great job. *** Rating: 4 Stars *** #EqualRites #Discworld #TerryPratchett #Review #BookReview Challenges: #bookloversdec22 - Favorite Book Quote #LMSDecember2022 - Book You Love #CourtOfReadingDec22 - A new to me author #fantasyreader #fantasybook #bookaddict #bookcommunity #readingismagic #bookblogger #bookreviewer #greekbookstagram #instavivlio #vivlio #diavazo #eucitesc #mybookfeatures #over30sbookstagram #bookstamums #booknotes_athina (at Sitia , Crête) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl_vG8JLK6i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
