𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕜 𝕠𝕗 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕄𝕠𝕟𝕥𝕙-- What August releases are you excited about? In case you missed it, I posted my break down of the August @bookofthemonth selections. If you want even more commentary on the main picks specifically I would highly recommend @sarahsbookshelves and he analysis of the picks. Also, next month I will be buddy reading The Chestnut Man by @sorensveistrup with @Cannone.Lisa. We will be reading a little bit each week and discussing. If you want to join in, comment below! For those who aren't familiar, find the synopsis of The Chestnut Man below! SYNOPSIS IF YOU FIND ONE, HE’S ALREADY FOUND YOU A psychopath is terrorizing Copenhagen. His calling card is a “chestnut man”—a handmade doll made of matchsticks and two chestnuts—which he leaves at each bloody crime scene. Examining the dolls, forensics makes a shocking discovery—a fingerprint belonging to a young girl, a government minister’s daughter who had been kidnapped and murdered a year ago. A tragic coincidence—or something more twisted? To save innocent lives, a pair of detectives must put aside their differences to piece together the Chestnut Man’s gruesome clues. Because it’s clear that the madman is on a mission that is far from over. And no one is safe. #bookofthemonthmember #bookofthemonthbox #bookofthemonthpicks #thechestnutman #thrillers #sørensveistrup #buddyread #botmpicks #botm #bookstagram #bookbloggers #books #booksubscriptionbox https://www.instagram.com/p/CR-B5buJ696/?utm_medium=tumblr

𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕜 𝕠𝕗 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕄𝕠𝕟𝕥𝕙- What May/June releases are you excited about? One of the reasons I love @bookofthemonth is because they frequently offer selections that force me out of my comfort zone. Arsenic and Adobo by @mpmthewriter is the first cozy mystery that I have picked up and I have really enjoyed what I've read of it. Here's to hoping that May's selection is just as wonderful and diverse. While you are waiting, check out my guesses for May by going to my blog (link in bio) and check out the synopsis of Arsenic and Adobo below! SYNOPSIS When Lila Macapagal moves back home to recover from a horrible breakup, her life seems to be following all the typical rom-com tropes. She's tasked with saving her Tita Rosie's failing restaurant, and she has to deal with a group of matchmaking aunties who shower her with love and judgment. But when a notoriously nasty food critic (who happens to be her ex-boyfriend) drops dead moments after a confrontation with Lila, her life quickly swerves from a Nora Ephron romp to an Agatha Christie case. With the cops treating her like she's the one and only suspect, and the shady landlord looking to finally kick the Macapagal family out and resell the storefront, Lila's left with no choice but to conduct her own investigation. Armed with the nosy auntie network, her barista best bud, and her trusted Dachshund, Longanisa, Lila takes on this tasty, twisted case and soon finds her own neck on the chopping block… #bookoftheminthclub #bookofthemonthpicks #bookofthemonthspoilers #bookofthemonth https://www.instagram.com/p/CN9M4FELfJR/?igshid=1juqyc1gv343f

𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕜 𝕠𝕗 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕄𝕠𝕟𝕥𝕙-- What are you reading this fine Saturday morning? Today on the blog I'm sharing my break down of the April @bookofthemonth picks. I really enjoyed this month's selection and think across the main picks and add ons, there is some thing for everyone. What did you add to your box? Were there any picks you were hoping to see that didn't make the cut? Let me know! A noticeable theme through the picks was that of literary mysteries which I would compare to books like Girl A by @abigailsdean which was a pick a few months back. #bookoftheminthclub #bookofthemonthpicks #bookofthemonth #botm #botmpicks #subscriptionbox #booksubscriptionbox https://www.instagram.com/p/CNNn0krLKve/?igshid=1891jwvz9xmkl

𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕜 𝕠𝕗 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕄𝕠𝕟𝕥𝕙 If you were a thief, what would you steal? White Ivy by @susieyyang was one of my @bookofthemonth picks and it sounds so good! Also, head on over to the blog to see our predictions for December! SYNOPSIS Ivy Lin is a thief and a liar—but you’d never know it by looking at her. Raised outside of Boston, Ivy’s immigrant grandmother relies on Ivy’s mild appearance for cover as she teaches her granddaughter how to pilfer items from yard sales and second-hand shops. Thieving allows Ivy to accumulate the trappings of a suburban teen—and, most importantly, to attract the attention of Gideon Speyer, the golden boy of a wealthy political family. But when Ivy’s mother discovers her trespasses, punishment is swift and Ivy is sent to China, and her dream instantly evaporates. Years later, Ivy has grown into a poised yet restless young woman, haunted by her conflicting feelings about her upbringing and her family. Back in Boston, when Ivy bumps into Sylvia Speyer, Gideon’s sister, a reconnection with Gideon seems not only inevitable—it feels like fate. Slowly, Ivy sinks her claws into Gideon and the entire Speyer clan by attending fancy dinners, and weekend getaways to the cape. But just as Ivy is about to have everything she’s ever wanted, a ghost from her past resurfaces, threatening the nearly perfect life she’s worked so hard to build. Filled with surprising twists and a nuanced exploration of class and race, White Ivy is a glimpse into the dark side of a woman who yearns for success at any cost. #bookoftheminthclub #bookofthemonthpicks #bookofthemonth #subscriptionbox #bookbox https://www.instagram.com/p/CHwnSi_ghgp/?igshid=1e2hjhogbirx
