•photographs• . I tried to do something different but it looks weird to me. 🤔 Here's my copy of Fireworks by Katie Cotugno. 😀 I had to put some washi tape on the dusk jacket because it was as if someone took a box cutter and went crazy in the back of the book. The cut almost got to the inside, to the end pages. 😣 . . . #bookstagram #bookworm #igbooks #booknerd #bibliophile #bookblogger #bookphotography #ireadya #yalit #bookstack #booksandcandles #seashell #katiecotugno

Part of my #TBR for October! I’m currently reading There’s Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins. Ive also already finished Warbringer. What’s on your TBR?

This picture feels fitting to post tonight since I'm on my way to Thunder Over Louisville, the biggest annual fireworks display in North America! Having grown up around Louisville, I've been to Thunder a few times but the fireworks are always absolutely beautiful! • A friend sent me this copy of FIREWORKS by @katiecotugno and I can't wait to start reading it! I loved her last book, 99 DAYS, so I have really high hopes for this one! • I hope everyone's having a great weekend so far! Any big plans??? • #fireworks #katiecotugno #thunder #thunderoverlouisville #yalit #yaliterature #yalovin #bookstagram #bookish #bibliophile #booknerd

Spoiler Free Book Review of Fireworks By Katie Cotugno I give this book 3 ⭐️ It was always meant to be Olivia. She's the talented one, the one who's been training to be a star her whole life. Her best friend, Dana, is the levelheaded one, always on the sidelines, cheering Olivia on. But everything changes when Dana tags along with Olivia to Orlando for the weekend, where super producer Guy Monroe is holding auditions for a new singing group, and Dana is discovered too. Dana, who's never sung more than Olivia's back up. Dana, who wasn't even looking for fame. Next thing she knows, she and Olivia are training to be pop stars, and Dana is falling for Alex, the earnest, endlessly talented boy who is destined to be the next big thing. It should be a dream come true, but as the days of gruelling practice and constant competition take their toll, things between Olivia and Dana start to shift and there's only room at the top for one girl. For Olivia, it's for a chance at her dream. For Dana, it's a chance to escape the future that seems to be closing in on her. And for those lifelong best friends, it's the adventure of a lifetime ... if they can make it through. This was a fast paced quick read, perfect for a day at the beach. We go along with Olivia and Dana on their transition from high school best friends, to their new reality of trying to chase their dreams. What a dream it is ... becoming a pop star. Who will make it to the top? This story gave off a ton of Jem and the Holograms vibes, the movie not the show, without the good soundtrack though. Cutesy, without a ton of depth to the story, this is great brain candy for when your brain just can't handle an epic fantasy. Read it, Love it, Thank me later. 😉 @hccfrenzy

Today I've got a partial sneak peek of the cover of BANG, the third and final book in the Lights + Sirens Trilogy--three messy, complicated, sexy romances I co-wrote under the pen name Ruby McNally. 💕 BANG follows Great Barrington beat cops Jackson Ford and Marisol de la Espada, who blew their partnership all to pieces when they let things get romantic--and then Jack got shot. This one's all about Partners who are PARTNERS. What else do you need to know? 💕 BANG—and the rest of the Lights + Sirens trilogy—will be available for sale in the Kindle Store next Tuesday, 9/18. Click the link in my profile to find out more! 💕 #rubymcnally #newrelease #romance #contemporaryromance #romancenovel #tbr #katiecotugno #authorlife #yaromance #comingsoon #sneakpeak #authorsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BnrASdpl_aJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hie9tt6lzctp
