I know my #SynopsisSunday is a tad delayed but better late than never 😂 This week I picked That Inevitable Victorian Thing by E.K. Johnston! . Victoria-Margaret is the crown princess of the empire, a direct descendant of Victoria I, the queen who changed the course of history two centuries earlier. The imperial practice of genetically arranged matchmaking will soon guide Margaret into a politically advantageous marriage like her mother before her, but before she does her duty, she'll have one summer incognito in a far corner of empire. In Toronto, she meets Helena Marcus, daughter of one of the empire's greatest placement geneticists, and August Callaghan, the heir apparent to a powerful shipping firm currently besieged by American pirates. In a summer of high-society debutante balls, politically charged tea parties, and romantic country dances, Margaret, Helena, and August discover they share an unusual bond and maybe a one in a million chance to have what they want and to change the world in the process —just like the first Queen Victoria. . This was one of the first books I saw on bookstagram that I knew I had to have! I mean, Queen Victoria - yes please! .

💭Are you a fan of darker, twisted thrillers? . I'm a huge fan of them and have been craving them more and more lately! A few days ago @katielmae suggested I read #FinalGirls so yesterday I flew through it and it blew my mind! Seriously THAT ENDING 😱 I honestly thought I had stuff figured out, and a few small things I did, but the major stuff...NOPE! It was seriously such a great book overall! I had a few issues with a character's storyline but it didn't take away from the twisty, dark path this book led me down! . Thanks to @bookofthemonth for having this as an option for July! I would have never known about this title otherwise 🖤 . Daily love to @novellyyours featuring her #PlotTwist candle, since it's SO fitting for this book! It's also one of my faves from her! The scents are storms, musk, and mystery 🤤 so it's super masculine! . Grab yourself one and use BOOKIEMOJI10 to save 😉 . . . #bookish #bibliophile #bookgram #bookworm #bookstagramfeature #totalbooknerd #bookishfeatures #bookstagramit #bookporn #bookstagram #bookblogger #read #goodreads #booklover #bookphotography #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #📚 #📖 #ad #novellyyours #rileysager #duttonbooks #openbook #cozy #bookishcandles #bookishmerch #bookofthemonth

Mood this rainy #Tuesday: Gimme my book and my coffee, kthxbye ✌️ (📷 @nerdytalksbookblog) ・・・ Is he a hero? Eight years ago, Sharlah May Nash’s older brother beat their drunken father to death with a baseball bat in order to save both of their lives. Now thirteen years old, Sharlah has finally moved on. About to be adopted by retired FBI profiler Pierce Quincy and his partner, Rainie Conner, Sharlah loves one thing best about her new family: They are all experts on monsters. Is he a killer? Then the call comes in. A double murder at a local gas station, followed by reports of an armed suspect shooting his way through the wilds of Oregon. As Quincy and Rainie race to assist, they are forced to confront mounting evidence: The shooter may very well be Sharlah’s older brother, Telly Ray Nash, and it appears his killing spree has only just begun. All she knows for sure: He’s back. As the clock winds down on a massive hunt for Telly, Quincy and Rainie must answer two critical questions: Why after eight years has this young man started killing again? And what does this mean for Sharlah? Once upon a time, Sharlah’s big brother saved her life. Now, she has two questions of her own: Is her brother a hero or a killer? And how much will it cost her new family before they learn the final, shattering truth? Because as Sharlah knows all too well, the biggest danger is the one standing right behind you. Can't wait to read it! Thank you @duttonbooks ♥ #rightbehindyou #2017releases #lisagardner #duttonbooks #penguinrandomhouse
