💬 How do you arrange your shelves? Alphabetical by author? By genre? By color? . As you can see, these shelves I organize by color. I love the burst of joy it brings to my bedroom. My full library downstairs, however, is organized alphabetically by author so it’s easier for me to find the book I’m looking for. . . Thank you to @sourcebooks & @booksforwardpr for gifting me this ARC copy of The Second Mother by @jennymilchman! This is a psychological thriller based off the coast of Maine and sounds absolutely fantastic! Check out the full synopsis below. The Second Mother is releasing August 18th! Will you be adding this to your TBR? . . . ✩ s u m m a r y ⇣ Opportunity: Teacher needed in one-room schoolhouse on remote island in Maine. Certification in grades K-8 a must. Julie Weathers isn't sure if she's running away or starting over, but moving to a remote island off the coast of Maine feels right for someone with reasons to flee her old life. The sun-washed, sea-stormed speck of land seems welcoming, the lobster plentiful, and the community close and tightly knit. She finds friends in her nearest neighbor and Callum, a man who appears to be using the island for the same thing as she: escape. But as Julie takes on the challenge of teaching the island's children, she comes to suspect that she may have traded one place shrouded in trouble for another, and she begins to wonder if the greatest danger on Mercy Island is its lost location far out to sea, or the people who live there. . . . ✩ h a s h t a g s ⇣ #thesecondmother #jennymilchman #booksforwardpr #shelfiesunday #shelfdecor #shelfie #rainbowshelves #sundayshelfie #aquietmoment #livelifebeautifully #morningslikethis #cornerofmyhome #momentsofmine #bookaholic #bookstagramit #blissfulday #stillography #lovelysquares #nestandflourish #yabooks #bibliofeature #booknerdigan #bookster #bookcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CBazVKMn9cI/?igshid=1qizikqrstw6c

Book Review…The Book of Demons by Kevin Moore When Mr. Philips discovers a powerful, cursed painting whose magic he can use for personal gain, he will stop at nothing to acquire it including murder. Before he can get his hands on it, the painting goes missing and its artist is found dead. Enraged, Mr. Philips vows to hunt it down. But someone else finds it first: Jack, a teenage mystic who would do anything to keep Mr. Philips from harnessing it. Along with two unexpected allies a non-verbal autistic child and the spirit of a dead nun Jack battles to keep the painting away from Mr. Philips. But as the stakes rise along with the body count, their epic battle for possession of the painting may cost Jack everything and everyone he loves. This is the second book in the Soul series and just like the first one it has adventure and plenty of that creepy mysterious vibe making it a great read for this time of year! I really enjoy this author's writing style! There were some great twists and it was nice to be back with some of the familiar characters and meet some new ones! This was a fast read so hopefully we will be getting another book for this series!

Book Review…Rise of the Catalyst, Ancient Magicks Artifact #1 by Honor Raconteur One ancient mask with earth-bending powers searching for a bearer. One magical retrieval expert who is determined to seal it back in its tomb. At the moment, both are failing at their goals, but Arwen is not about to be bested. So what if she doesn’t know what culture it’s from or where to put it back. She’s smarter than a semi-sentient mask. Hopefully. But if the thrice-cursed mask breaks out of her seal one more time, she’s melting it with prejudice, magical backlash be damned. This was an interesting story. It's set in the Victorian era but magic is accepted. Arwen is a magical retrieval expert and her job comes with some troubles and some adventures but she's also blind. Honestly I thought it sounded like a fun job. The relationships between the characters is one that i really enjoyed they are like a family. It's an adventure story with a fun magic system, interesting characters and a fast pace with a steam punk feel to it. I've read Honor Raconteur Deepwoods series so I was really excited to read this one and I wasn't disappointed! It will be interesting to see how the series progresses and what new adventures will come! #RiseoftheCatalyst #AncientMagicksArtifact #Honor Raconteur #booksforwardpr #books #bookreview #bookstagram #readsta #iBooks #fantasystory #bookish #booksy #bookworm #booknerd #bookrecommendation #read #bookswithmagic #newfantasyseries #booksforwardfriends (at Cleveland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce1DMJnLkp0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pubday Book Review……..Madman in the Woods: Life Next Door to the Unabomber by Jamie Gehring For seventeen years Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, mailed explosives to strangers. But as a child while living in Lincoln, Montana Jamie Gearing had no idea that the self sustaining hermit that lived in the adjacent cabin who brought her painted rocks as a gift was Ted Kaczynski. Surprise visits, erratic behavior and chilling events while Jamie was riding horses or helping her dad at his sawmill were dismissed because Ted was just Ted. As an adult through the years Jamie has research Ted's personal history, his writings, his secret coded crime journals, her own correspondence with him in his Supermax prison cell, plus interviews with others close to Kaczynski, Gehring unearths the complexity, mystery, and tragedy of her childhood and the hermit on the hill. And the shocking revelation that she and her family were in Ted's crosshairs. Do you really know your neighbor? Madman in the Woods was definitely a complex read but it's also beautifully written and an incredible journey! Could you imagine finding out that your neighbor who yeah was odd but kind to you ended up being Ted Kaczynski? I can't imagine the confusion that would have caused as a child. The book gives an indepth look into Ted's life but it also shows Jamie's as well. I found it interesting to read how she felt then and now looking back at some of the events. Jamie does a wonderful job drawing you in and then capturing you till the very last page. With vivid descriptions of the area she grew up in, which sounds absolutely beautiful, to something completely normal childhood event to an event that is beyond creepy. Thank you Books Forward and Jamie Gehring for sharing this incredible story with me! #BooksForwardFriends #books #bookreview #booksforwardpr #booklover #bookish #read #truecrimebook #madmaninthewoods #BooksBooksBooks #readreadread #BookAddict #bookrecommendation #bookobsessed #bookrec #instabooks #imstareads #readstagram #pubday #newbook #pubdaybookreview https://www.instagram.com/p/CchPWDIgIBS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🍿 BOOK MAIL IS THE BEST MAIL! 🍿 I have been meaning to post this for a while now, so here I am finally doing so! How awesome is this box I received from @booksforwardpr and @christopherparkerwrites for his debut novel, THE LIGHTHOUSE?? There was a cap, a postcard, a recipe (😋), a ticket to the Seabrook Lighthouse Festival, a box of Froot Loops-flavored popcorn, *and* the book! And I didn't even feature the beautiful shepherd's hook bookmark with a lighthouse charm because I didn't dig it out of the box until after I took this pic!! I wasn't expecting to be so spoiled, but thanks so much to Books Forward and Mr. Parker for doing so 🤗 THE LIGHTHOUSE sounds amazing, and I can't wait to read it. It released October 26, so it's available now for you to snag! I'll put the synopsis in the comments below. 🍿🍿🍿 #thelighthouse #christopherparker #christopherparkerwrites #booksforwardpr #debutauthor #debutnovel #journeytoseabrook #seabrookoregon #booksbooksbooks #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bookstagramcommunity #ncbookstagrammer #ncbooklovers #booknerd #BookKeepingBlog #happymail #bookmail #bookmailisthebestmail #bookmailmonday #bookmailisthebestmail📪 #bookmail📮 https://www.instagram.com/p/CXJmXs4rKCr/?utm_medium=tumblr

What books are your kids reading these days? 🐴 Many thanks to @booksforwardpr for sending this copy of BIG WISHES FOR LITTLE FEAT, a beautifully illustrated book about the magical relationship between a little girl and a very special horse, and the power of believing in yourself. . . Though a picture book (& the illustrations are truly gorgeous), this one is pretty text heavy, so it's probably best suited for older elementary school kids. We'll keep this one on the shelf until the twins are a bit older. . . #bigwishesforlittlefeat #booksforwardpr #picturebook #kidsbooks #kidsbookstagram #childrensbookstagram #kidlit #booksforkids #raisingreaders #horsebooks #illustratedbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CGk5i5JALno/?igshid=18nq1ot06c098
