I'm not really into eBooks for the most part. However as this one is currently available for free I have it a shot. Nine Pines is a collection of short story thrillers based around the town Nine Pines. I've only read the first two of which so far but I wanted to give you guys a heads up as long as it's availability for free on the authors Instagram, as I really enjoyed those first two stories. . . #augustbirch #ninepines #shortstory #thriller #bookreview #bookish #booksofig #igbooks #igreads #ebook #ebooks #reading #reader https://www.instagram.com/p/BmyJx8cFAN3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iyvo043m9t67

So, we’ve lived in our house five years and my library has largely been in boxes until a couple days ago. . I know. It’s embarrassing. . I sat on it because I don’t have a large amount of bookcases. . Well, my amazing wife surprised me the other day and unpacked all of them so I could finally enjoy them. . I’m still working on the shelf situation, but at least I can see all my old friends. . My wife took the picture and she even added a little setup at the bottom-center (because she’s awesome and supportive). See it? . I’m a little overwhelmed. I even bought a few of these twice, because I wasn’t about to dig through 20+ boxes to find them. . It’s like having my own bookstore in the basement. . Ok, gotta go. Back to exploring. . Oh, and if you’d like the prequel-ish novel to my upcoming book, I’ll send you a thriller for free. . Tap the link in my bio and tell me where to send it. #bookstagram #shelfie #bookshelf https://www.instagram.com/p/BmenHKBFCNR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ghz0bkm1kxlb

Got another fantastic review of Nine Pines today... and it’s from a different, environmental angle that I hadn’t heard before. Very thoughtful so I had to share. . I enjoy sharing these a lot more than having me drone on about my own work. . If you’d like your own copy of Nine Pines (plus five custom bookmarks you can laminate when your boss isn’t watching), tap the link in my bio. . And here’s the review: From @indian_bibliotaph ・・・ #QOTD What if the place you stayed at didn't love what your doing to her (not the planet, the city/town) how would u feel or know and rectify about the same. This is the second book (ebook) completed in the month of august. My ratings 4.5⭐/5. Nine Pines by @august.birch.writer . Synopsis: the story revolves around a place called Nine Pines and 9 people who are "demons" and masking an image of being good (most of them are). The story begins with the place introducing herself to you with her history and how in her ruin she still wants a better life for her people along with a bit of supernatural in one or two story's. What I loved about this book was it's a thriller and once I started I couldn't stop myself!! (Devoured it by 5-6 hours) the story is being told by the place of how the history is forgotten even by the travellers :: her rise and downfall. How her people who are sweet on the outside and demons on the inside. How she feels burden to stay on and see more wretched things happen and longs to take off with the storm. I especially loved the stories of The Sheriff and The Drunk. The only thing I didn't like was I felt disconnected with the last story. I didn't understnd the importance of the character but apart from that this is a must read for all thriller enthusiasts ❤️ #bookoholic #bookish #bibliophile #bookreview #bibliomania #thriller #books📚 #lovebooks #bookchorhandmedown #lockthebox #bookchor https://www.instagram.com/p/BmWUjltlARj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jntkedd0wovl
