#buddyreads

I finished Great Expectations by Charles Dickens! ✨ . My sister @gooddayprinting and I decided to buddy read classics, and Great Expectations was our first pick! It’s the first Charles Dickens book I read, and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I liked the first half, but after that it started to drag a little I thought 😅 . [SPOILERS] because I just have to ask anyone who’s read it as well - is no one else upset Pip never tells Estella about her parents? I was so upset when they meet at the end, because I was sure it was going to be resolved then, and it wasn’t! It feels like that part of the story was just left unfinished? 🤔 . Next buddy read: Alice in Wonderland . . . #greatexpectations #charlesdickens #chilternpublishing #chilternclassics #JohannasReviews #buddyread #buddyreads #classics #classicbooks #bookcovers #bookstagram #instabooks #bookphotography #bibliophile #booklover #allthebooks #readerforlife #booklover #bookreview #bookaddict #booknerd #creativityeveryday #coverlove #coverlover #bookflatlay #livetoread #beautyinlife #readersofinstagram  #mybookfeatures #flashesofdelight #judgeabookbyitscover https://www.instagram.com/p/COf3jprrsNE/?igshid=1etmifjdax7mg

The Connellys of County Down is a new book coming from Tracey Lange, who also wrote We Are the Brennans. “Tara is struggling to restart her life after being released from prison. She served 18 months for a drug trafficking charge but there’s more to it than she told the police. She moves back to her family home with her brother, Eddie, and sister, Geraldine. And Eddie’s son, Conor. Eddie still struggles with issues from a brain injury. Geraldine is having a difficult time with the chaos that Tara has brought to the family and she misses the rules and order she had before. They all have secrets holding them back and events will test the bonds of family.” Do you have siblings? What are your relationships like? What things happened to all of you that wounded you? Or anchors you? This is a wonderful story about family and secrets from Lange. Until Tara, Eddie and Geraldine can trust each other again, they are stuck. It’s great watching them get unstuck. Geraldine comes across as not very nice and controlling. Her big issue reminds me of my Mom because she had the same problem. When you hear why it makes sense. Celadon Books put groups of readers together to buddy-read this in April. I apologize to my group because I wanted to finish. I think I liked this even better than WATB. Save a spot on your August TBR for this one. Thanks to @celadonbooks for coordinating this with the advanced copies. #theconnellysofcountydown #traceylange #celadonbooks #buddyreads #familyepic #familysaga #celadonreaders #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookphotography #bookcommunity #bookblogger #sodacityreads #suspensebook #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #homelibrary #characterdrivenbooks #bookrecs https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq2wLTFrXOf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🩸 BUDDY READ ANNOUNCEMENT! 🩸 It's hard to believe, but January is actually almost over...so it's time to announce next month's #getthrilledbuddyreads pick! @torriereadsalot and I are so excited to be doing THE WEIGHT OF BLOOD by @writeinbk 🎉 Torrie has read it and loved it, and I can't wait to dive in! If you'd like to join us, just comment below (or DM me) and we'll add you to the chat when we set it up. We can't wait to #getthrilled with y'all! SYNOPSIS: New York Times bestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson ramps up the horror and tackles America’s history and legacy of racism in this suspenseful YA novel following a biracial teenager as her Georgia high school hosts its first integrated prom. When Springville residents—at least the ones still alive—are questioned about what happened on prom night, they all have the same explanation . . . Maddy did it. An outcast at her small-town Georgia high school, Madison Washington has always been a teasing target for bullies. And she's dealt with it because she has more pressing problems to manage. Until the morning a surprise rainstorm reveals her most closely kept secret: Maddy is biracial. She has been passing for white her entire life at the behest of her fanatical white father, Thomas Washington. After a viral bullying video pulls back the curtain on Springville High's racist roots, student leaders come up with a plan to change their image: host the school's first integrated prom as a show of unity. The popular white class president convinces her Black superstar quarterback boyfriend to ask Maddy to be his date, leaving Maddy wondering if it's possible to have a normal life. But some of her classmates aren't done with her just yet. And what they don't know is that Maddy still has another secret . . . one that will cost them all their lives. 🩸🩸🩸 #buddyreads #buddyreading #buddyread #theweightofblood #tiffanydjackson #tiffanydjacksonnovels #tiffanydjacksonauthor #tiffanydjacksonbooks #thrillerbooks #februarybuddyread #yaliteraturejunkie #yaliterature #yalovin #yalit #yalove #blackauthors #blackwomenoncover #blackwomenoncovers #blackwomenwriters #blackwomenwrite #amreading #bookstagrambuddyreads https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn4yFWcL7A0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
