NERD ALERT! Don’t forget this awesome author challenge I’m co-hosting with the mildly insane but not clinically diagnosed, @authormichaelreidjr he’s really feeling uneasy about this challenge so let’s make sure to make it twice and difficult by giving him a really hard time.
AUGUST WILL ROCK

White dress- #circleofbookishfriends you’re not going to see me in a white dress. I don’t own one and if I did, I’d look like a little devil trying to pass themselves off as an angel of light!
Nooooo, that’s not true! I just am too careless and would get my dress all dirty and that’s the truth. Sloppy eater
Are you intrigued by the title of this book? I know I am! It’s about an investigation of a serial killer in the 1800s. His calling card is the female victims have their braided hair thrust into their mouths and their arms folded behind them. EEK!
Sounds dark and gripping. And she’s wearing a white dress on the cover which is why I chose it. How’s your Saturday treating you?

“Less is more-the book is better than the cover.” #circleofbookishfriends
The Cider House Rules by John Irving is one of those books that hangs with you for awhile. I went through this phase in my reading where I read a lot of contemporary, adult fiction. Of that phase, my favorite stand out books were, The Bastard Out of Carolina by Dorothy Alison. Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns and Cider House.
I’m in a very serious horror/dark thriller kick now so I won’t be reading any books of this sort for awhile but if you like those kinds of reads right now, swoop those three up!
Happy Monday! Get after your goals today. Make it happen.

Mortal Enemies for the #circleofbookishfriends today. I love the almost instantaneous hatred between our golden trio and Malfoy.
…
***hey, does it bother you that there aren’t any red haired emojis? I was going to do the trio and Malfoy in emojis but there’s no RON WEASLEY!
Sorry if you have red hair, people
…
Anyhoodles, I always quite like the tension that antagonists bring to stories. Without it, our heroes would have too easy of a time being awesome and that’s not real life!
Who is one of your favorite mortal enemies?

Learn Jacket. Tough book to get through. #circleofbookishfriends
I buddy read Carrion Comfort last year at Christmas with my girls @jobis89 and @ab_reads and if I didn’t have them to pull me through this one, I probably would have quit.
Not only is this book long and a bit sluggish, it’s so heavy and dark. It was hard to look forward to getting snuggled up in bed to read more acts of depraved humanity.
There were a few scenes (Abbie was clearly ahead of me) where the girls were waiting for me to read it because they knew I’d be overwhelmed.
Overall, this book is iconic horror and should be read-just bring your squad to lean on!

A book you’re always ready to read…#circleofbookishfriends I am ALWAYS ready to read Locke & Key.
Anytime, Anywhere, name it and claim it, Baby! I’m there!
This graphic novel series rocks my dark, crazy world!
If you are a Joe Hill fan, what are you waiting for?? @joe_hill gives you a creepy, dark, twisted story and his illustrator buddy Gabriel Rodriguez puts life to it. Best combo EVER
And now I own my own set and I don’t have to borrow them from the library anymore! Thank you hubby!

Thriller Author for the #circleofbookishfriends co hosted by @authormichaelreidjr
so I chose Dennis LeHane. Of course. No thriller author EVER in the history of thrillers have *anything* up on LeHane. In fact, no author has better writing chops than LeHane and that is my professional reading opinion. He’s the man. Straight up.
✍
The link for my review of the Bone Mother is my profile. If you love horror, folklore and creepy antique photos-you NEED that book. There were stories that made me not want to turn out the light! Read the review!
…
I caught that cactus trying to crawl out of his pot just to get away from me: the PLANT KILLER. Poor kid.

Favorite Horror Author for the #circleofbookishfriends
☠️☠️
Was there any doubt? Come on. I stole my first SK book off my mom’s shelf in the summer of 1988 and I’ve been a constant reader ever since.
Many of my nights have been spent with my mind getting wrapped around the words of good ol SK. Trips to Castle Rock, Derry and Mid-World.
My favorite storyteller. ☠️☕️mug: @arcane_store use my code in my bio to save

Happy Sock Sunday! And in this case, a black & white, bookish piano for the #circleofbookishfriends
I saw the Dark Tower last night with all five of us-me being the only one who read the series. (Non spoiler review)
There were fun King fan nods (not gonna tell-YOU find them!) the action was cool-to see some “Gunslinging” on the big screen!
Jake was alright. Idris was alright. Matthew M. was lame.
Apart from the fact I’m a Tower Junkie (I laid it aside. Which is telling already. I knew I had to put high expectations away, did LOTR fans do that? No! We didn’t! The trailers made me cry!)
As just a general audience movie buff, this movie lacked vision, story, character development (why do I care?) and world building. 95 minutes just is not enough time to do anything right.
Unless it’s a cartoon.
Overall, it wasn’t great. Sorry.
My 12 year old liked it! Meh.

We are already at day five of our Awesome Author challenge for the #circleofbookishfriends that I am co hosting with THE author himself, @authormichaelreidjr (if you’re not following him, how are you succeeding at life?)
..
Today’s prompt is self published authors. I actually have a lot to choose from since I love supporting indie authors, @authormichaelreidjr @theconstantvoice @harmonylawson2016 @ejmellow
But I just got bookmail from @fluorescentones so I chose her new book Fates Aflame by P. Anastasia which has its own coloring book!
This book is definitely for a YA audience and I plan on sharing it with my 13 year old niece. She would LOVE the premise:
“Earth granted her the ability to conjure fire at will, but the birth of her powers awakens a curse and a perilous trial unfolds, putting lives of those she loved in jeopardy. When extinct beasts brought forth by scientists magic threaten her life, she has no choice but to take a stand…”
My call is to support these indie authors as much as we are able. I read some crap published books so it bothers me there so many cool authors that just need that big break!

Fantasy Author Friday for the #circleofbookishfriends and I’m choosing JK Rowling. Her rise to fame story is fascinating to me and I cannot imagine what it must feel like to have a very successful book series, a very successful movie franchise and a motherflippin THEME PARK made from your imagination. What a crazy life!
I’m really pleased that it all happened to her, not only is the story of Harry Potter totally worthy but I just think JK Rowling is a beautiful person as well.
☕️tea: Golden Snitch (tastes like mint and chocolate) @riddlesteashoppe
Anyhoodles…HAPPY FRIDAY!

In this corner: Vic McQueen from N0S4A2 by @joe_hill
And in this corner: Miriam Black from Blackbirds by @chuck_wendig

Author Battle for the #circleofbookishfriends
Who would you put your money on? This is SUPER hard for me as I love both of these female bad asses and these are two of my major author crushes but I think I’d go with Miriam Black for the KO

Today is Woman Author Crush Wednesday for the #circleofbookishfriends and it’s no surprise I picked @aniaahlborn
I’m pretty sure I decided to read her book Brother off @wherethereadergrows recommendations and after devouring that book in less than 24 hours, I binged more of her and more of her. After reading The Devil Crept In which was a @the.nocturnal.readers.box book, I messaged Ania the first time with some crazy fangirl shit and she graciously appeased me.
I can honestly say she’s an author crush and friend and I will pimp her books until the cows come home! Whatever that means because how would I know if anyone’s cows come home?? I don’t know any? It’s just a weird saying.
Basically, Ahlborn is a goddess among men in the horror genre. A must read.

Happy Tolkien Tuesday! It’s also the first day of the #circleofbookishfriends August Awesome Author challenge I’m co hosting with @authormichaelreidjr

This month is all about the authors, less about individual books. I’m really excited about it.
How cute is my postcard and the Prancing Pony bookmark? I have really loved my 3 month term as a rep for @riddlesteashoppe so much so, I will always be a fan and a customer! Juli is choosing new reps today so good luck to all who entered! ☕️
