💬 What books have you recently added to your TBR? . I just added Astrid Sees All by @natstandiford to my TBR. This sounds fantastic!! Thank you to @atriabooks for gifting me this ARC copy! This beauty is releasing in April 2021! Is this on your radar yet? . . . s u m m a r y ⇣ New York’s last bohemia—the glittering, decadent downtown club scene of the 1980s—is the setting for this brilliantly winning novel about a smart, vulnerable young woman taking a deep dive into her dark side, essential for fans of Sweetbitter, Fleabag, and books by Patti Smith. New York, 1984: Twenty-two-year-old Phoebe Hayes is a young woman in search of excitement and adventure. But the recent death of her father has so devastated her that her mother wants her to remain home in Baltimore to recover. Phoebe wants to return to New York, not only to chase the glamorous life she so desperately craves but also to confront Ivan, the older man who painfully wronged her. With her best friend Carmen, she escapes to the East Village, disappearing into an underworld haunted by artists, It Girls, and lost souls trying to party their pain away. Carmen juggles her junkie-poet boyfriend and a sexy painter while, as Astrid the Star Girl, Phoebe tells fortunes in a nightclub and plots her revenge on Ivan. When the intoxicating brew of sex, drugs, and self-destruction leads Phoebe to betray her friend, Carmen disappears, and Phoebe begins an unstoppable descent into darkness. She may have a chance to save herself—and Carmen, if she can find her—but to do it she must face what’s hiding in the shadows she’s been running from—within her heart and in the dangerous midnight streets. A love letter to gritty 1980s New York City, Astrid Sees All is an irresistible, original novel about female friendship, sex and romance, and what it’s like to be a young woman searching for an identity. . . . h a s h t a g s ⇣ #astridseesall #nataliestandiford #atriabooks #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #booknerd #booklover #booknerd #readersofinstagram #readersofig #everysquareastory #reclaimthehappy #findingjoy #mystoryoflight #dreaminginpictures #daysofsmallthings #joyspotting https://www.instagram.com/p/CIzWKPpHx_t/?igshid=ejil3v132o3s

5 stars!! WOW. Holy shit wow. I was so afraid that I was allowing the Bookstagram hype to get into my head too much over this book...and that when I finally got to read it I'd be sorely disappointed. I had no reason to be afraid. And it was even better than I thought it could possibly be. If you're looking for an action packed thriller than this isn't it. This is a slow burn. This slowly sinks it's claws into your brain and by the time you've realized it it's got a grip and it won't let go. It's told from a couple of points of view and 2 timelines and every chapter it switches so you're basically always getting JUST enough before taking it away and feeding you something new. I started last night and I'm already done even though I'm tired and should be sleeping because my kids, much like myself, are early risers. And now here I am, everyone is asleep, and I don't know wtf to do with myself. WORTH IT. Yes the cover is beautiful and I should have gotten out of bed and put the cover back on...I don't read with it on because I'm not a serial killer...but I'm exhausted and it's way past my bed time so this is all I got 😂. #BookReview #ScaredSuspenseBookClub #ThsFamilyUpstairs #LisaJewell #AtriaBooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B46aGuCg8MZ/?igshid=ve6hlgupnr0i

She soon learns not only the identity of her birth parents, but also that she is the sole inheritor of their abandoned mansion on the banks of the Thames in London’s fashionable Chelsea neighborhood, worth millions. Everything in Libby’s life is about to change. But what she can’t possibly know is that others have been waiting for this day as well—and she is on a collision course to meet them. . Twenty-five years ago, police were called to 16 Cheyne Walk with reports of a baby crying. When they arrived, they found a healthy ten-month-old happily cooing in her crib in the bedroom.

A Rocking Socking Sunday Read! An absolutely wonderful edition of Black women rocking and owning their magic. A bevy of essays coupled with beautiful photographs from women representing various elements of the culture. Music, Art, Literature, Sports, and Politics. The representation is varied but ultimately the collective voices become one powerful scream of empowerment and overcoming any obstacles that may have a hold on you. All the essays are inspirational and push towards reaching the greatest that is the birthright bequeathed to women through the struggle of their forebears. It is amazing to hear from some of these women that we often admire from afar. These brief sharings help to bring them closer to their admirers. This books is destined to make a great gift for women and girls. If one fails to find inspiration in these pages then check your heart, you may have a blockage. Beverly Bond is the boss behind the Black Girls Rock movement and this book. Kudos to her for recognizing the need to rock the magic that Black women have been baring since time immemorial. One of the features I like about this book was the inclusion of historical figures through the herstory brief outlines. Women who have an impact but are no longer here to speak up, get highlights. Nina Simone, Audre Lorde, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and others get this treatment.Thanks to Atria Books and Netgalley for an advanced ebook. Book is on shelves now. And will fly!
