Instagram post 2180967597321971130_5480751027 Thank @getredpr @lorijill321 and @rarebirdlit for my copy 🔥🔥 . If there was ever a cover to grab your attention, this is it. PLASTIC by @frankhstrausser not only looks intriguing, the synopsis has that “must read” quality. It totally reminds me of the show Nip/Tuck which I was completely addicted to once upon a time. Have you read this book? Or did you watch the show Nip/Tuck? 🔥🔥 . 𝓑𝓵𝓾𝓻𝓫𝓼: . “Hollywood satire meets crime fiction―an extremely Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup-style combination of two of our favorite flavors!” ― @flavorwire . “Edgy. Pretty shocking. You wonder what the heck is going to happen!” ― @npr . 𝓢𝔂𝓷𝓸𝓹𝓼𝓲𝓼: . Dr. Harry Previn, the renowned Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, is secretly called in to operate on the disfigured face of the ravishingly beautiful teen pop star Fay Wray following an assault. Surrounded by image makers who value beauty over all else, he soon fears Fay is in mortal danger. Will he risk everything to save her beauty, her life, or himself?

Instagram post 2180247032537767562_5480751027 @littlebrown #partner | . Another edition of #bookrecquickies because I cannot recommend Leslie Jamison’s collection of essays enough. MAKE IT SCREAM, MAKE IT BURN is part memoir, part journalism, and part criticism, but all of it is intelligent, candid, and emotive. She’s a true talent, a gifted writer, and a unique voice. ★★★★★ . Use emojis to answer this...How was your Monday?!
Instagram post 2179330226125838545_5480751027 @penguinteen #partner | . Happy Sunday lovelies! Today is my husband’s birthday so we are headed to a bar to watch the Niner’s game with his brother and my sister from another mister. Also, make sure you wish @basicbsguide’s a happy birthday - she’s his birthday twin 🎉🥂 . How is your weekend going? Are you relaxing?
Instagram post 2178107285778352864_5480751027 Happy Friday Bookish Pals! ✌🏻This photo was taken at the indie bookstore where I met @joe_hill 💁🏼‍♀️ I’m going to work that little piece of trivia into every conversation possible 😂 . What are you most looking forward to this weekend?
Instagram post 2177380282905192659_5480751027 As always, thank you so much to the amazing tagged publishers #partner | . It’s #nonfictionnovember and I am here for it! I’ve read half of these books and I’m hungry for more. I love #nonfiction because if it’s done right, it’s learning made easy. I am an observer of human behavior and fascinated by experiences other than my own. And on the flip side, knowing there is someone else out there going through a similar experience so you don’t feel so alone. But mostly, I just love to learn 🔥🔥 . What is a #nonfiction book you always recommend or love?!
Instagram post 2176676281595207690_5480751027 *fashionably late* Today is #beautyandthebookbirthday so I dug this one out of the vault. Jamie aka @beauty_andthebook_ has always been kind and is super easy to talk to. She loves contemporary romance, but also reads a ton of thrillers (a gal after my own heart). I love that she’s an eclectic reader with fantastic book recommendations. If you haven’t wished Jamie a happy birthday yet, there’s still time (go, I’ll wait😉) . So there is something else...I’ve seen some bizarre, unnecessary, and unkind chatter about @abookorafewandjavatoo being too old for #bookstagram - that’s just rubbish. Nobody is too old or too anything for that matter to have a passion for reading. Since when did this place become an exclusive club? I’m not saying you’re not entitled to your opinion, but just unfollow a person if you don’t agree or love their book account - there’s no need to be nasty - simply #moveon . YES there is a Ring Pop in this photo and NO I don’t feel the need to explain. This photo was taken in August of this year, the month I turned 42. Yep, I’m 42 years old. I love reading more than anything (except Abby 🐱), and I collect Harry Potter books, misc bookmarks, Funko Pops, coffee mugs, and a ton of special editions I don’t need. Horror, thrillers, and true crime are my happy place. The only thing that shows “my age” per say is my deep love of nonfiction and history 🤓 (if that’s a thing). My advice: DON’T BE JUDGMENTAL - it’s my biggest pet peeve, it does nobody any good, and it’s one of the worst qualities a person can have. Toodles 👋🏻 . Scroll ⬅️ to see my child-like, dorkass smile 😜
Instagram post 2175966279234525146_5480751027 Today is special because this beauty showed up on my doorstep! Thank you so much to @shineynobuttons and @night_worms for my signed copy. 💁🏼‍♀️ . GUYS...it’s my first review copy as a #nightworm - I am super jazzed to start this because EVERYONE seems to be enjoying it✨ . Special thanks to my beautiful model sweet Abby 📸 . What are you reading this evening?
Instagram post 2175218019704387586_5480751027 IT’S A THANK YOU GIVEAWAY 🎉 . If you’ve been following me for a while you know my deep love and obsession with @pitchpinepottery - Now I want to share something I love from my collection with you. I want to give you an unused, beautiful owl mug! This beauty has only been featured in a few photos and is looking for its forever home. 🎉 . This #Bookstagram community has done more for me than words can express. I don’t know what I’d do without all my bookish buddies. Thank you for your love and support - I hope to continue our bookish fun forever and a day 🎉 . To enter: . 1. Like this post 2. Please follow me @shereadswithcats 3.

More bonus: 5 extra entries if you follow @pitchpinepottery but no pressure 🎉 . It’s international (holla 🙌🏻) • not affiliated with Instagram (as if!) • a winner will be selected on Saturday • good luck my homies 😘
Instagram post 2174448194002492029_5480751027 Today’s prompt is to say happy birthday to the lovely and beautiful @storiesandcoffee with a 5★ stack, but with a slight twist. This is a potential 5★ stack as I haven’t read them yet. Yes, this prompt is also @wherethereadergrows’ #bravethebacklist - I predict these will be amazing reads 🍁🍁🍁 . Also, as another fun little thing, I tagged the #Bookstagrammers that influenced me to bump these books up on my #TBR 🍁🍁🍁 . Have you read any of these?! Which one should I start with?
Instagram post 2173749834492802218_5480751027 Do you love to support indie authors and publishers?! 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️ . I sure do and this is one of many reasons why I love the @night_worms subscription box. Not only does it support indies, but it is book focused (although I’m not gonna lie, I need that mug) subscription box. I have been a customer since day one and I’ve never looked back. I’ve discovered so many of my favorite authors that I wouldn’t have known if it wasn’t for @mother.horror and @bookishmommy’s amazing work on promoting what they love...HORROR. I love these ladies for what they do. . If you are looking for recommendations, even if you prefer them on the lighter side, hit me up or better yet, hit up the @night_worms crew for spot on recommendations. My advice to you is don’t be afraid of the dark. And don’t let these scary covers fool you, some of these stories have a lot of heart 🌑🐛 . Who is your favorite indie author or publisher?!
Instagram post 2173618514819116859_5480751027 @gallerybooks #partner | . It’s the weekend! Instead of doing what I want, I’m going to be an adult and clean the heck out of my house. Which includes finally finishing my library. BUT as a gold star for my labor we are going to treat ourselves to see DOCTOR SLEEP tomorrow! Always give yourself something to work for...amiright? I have never been so excited 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 . I wore this shirt on a day when we had hurricane like winds at a charity event called Spirits and Bites for a local animal shelter. The winds were miserable and the power was out most of the time, but it was still a blast. One of the reasons I had so much fun is this shirt. At least 10 people asked what my favorite #StephenKing book is. Anything I can do to generate conversation about Stephen King’s books is a win. Also, I had my tote that said “Ask Me What I’m Reading” and several people did just that. Even though I’m an introvert I love nothing more than to talk about books. I even met an owner at @clementinecoffeebar who wants to collaborate with me on a book recommendation shelf for the coffee shop! I am so jazzed about it 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 . Any other introverts out there that are willing to talk with strangers about books??
Instagram post 2172922107816694601_5480751027 @booksparks #partner #FRC2019 #hitthebookclub | . Happy Friday all! Are you ready for the weekend?! ✨ . @booksparks definitely loves me because they sent me coffee. In my world, coffee = love ☕️ . I finished @aliwong’s book a few days ago and I have to say, she’s hilarious. I enjoyed her raunchy sense of humor immensely. Her writing style is fresh and she certainly doesn’t hold anything back. I highly recommend this one!
Instagram post 2172280207950730120_5480751027 As always, I am grateful to the tagged publishers #partner for my copies || . Hey hey hey 👋🏻 I’m a little late to the party, but I wanted to wait for my signed copy (yes, signed 💁🏼‍♀️) of THE STARLESS SEA. I also got a signed copy of THE NIGHT CIRCUS *swoon* - many thanks to @erinmorgenstern for making my sparkly dreams come true ✨✨ . I’ve #read THE CRYING BOOK, LITTLE WEIRDS, THE REVISIONERS, THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE, and THE WITCHES ARE COMING (on audio - thank you @librofm #librofmlisteningsquad ) - I’d highly recommend any one of them if it suits your fancy 🎉🎉 . I’m #currentlyreading IN THE DREAM HOUSE and ACID FOR THE CHILDREN - what should I read next?!!
Instagram post 2171556888859223304_5480751027 #BookReview | The cover of @adamlgnevill’s THE REDDENING first caught my eye on @mother.horror’s page when she posted her special edition copy. Unfortunately for me the hardcovers were all sold out, but Adam kindly offered to send me a free signed paperback. He is incredibly generous and I am so grateful for my copy because, guess what?!...I loved it. . Kat is a lifestyle journalist who escapes her past by moving to a coastal area near Brickburgh in Devon England. Artifacts and remains from thousands of years ago are discovered in a nearby cave and this discovery definitely has Kat’s attention. Our second protagonist, Helene, has a very personal tie to the Brickburgh caves. Her brother, Lincoln, vanished six years ago while he spent time there recording subterranean sounds. Helene and Kat are thrown together during the course of their individual journeys and are forced to move forward together in a place where they are not welcome. . Wow, Nevill sure knows how to write folklore, and HORROR. This book hit every mark for me. The writing is exquisite, the storytelling incredible, and the horror unapologetic. And oh my goodness, do I love Kat and Helene. . If you like horror with complex storylines, wonderful characters, a rough coastal setting, archeological digs, cannibalism and cults, then you’ve found the right book. There is a reason why Nevill’s fans have been recommending his books to me - I am so glad I am finally among them. ★★★★★
Instagram post 2170825717342887563_5480751027 @randomhouse @aaknopf #partner . Happy Tuesday! This stack gives me life because every one of these books is a winner! 👏🏻👏🏻 Check out my stories for videos of BIBLIO•STYLE, VISIONS FROM THE UPSIDE DOWN, ASSASSIN’S APPRENTICE, and THE END OF THE WORLD ✨ . I’m sneaking in another #bookrecquickies because I finished THE CHEFFE by Marie NDiaye - it’s so fantastic! Read it if you love foodie books! Also I’m excited to start RUNNING WITH SHERMAN (because a rescue donkey is cute) and LIFE UNDERCOVER (CIA! Coming-of-age! Hello?!) 🎉 . How is your Tuesday going? I’m about ready to give up on Tuesdays myself 😂
Instagram post 2170456587955766307_5480751027 Weekly #bookrecquickies are here! And up first is NINTH HOUSE by @lbardugo. It’s deliciously dark and disturbing which I love! Did I mention IT’S DARK?? So no, it’s most definitely not a YA fantasy. It’s very adult with elements of fantasy, mystery, magic, and ghosts! And it’s phenomenal. Plus every time I look at this beautiful blue edition from @waterstones my eyes sparkle 🐍🐍 . What’s your quickie book recommendation for me? Let me know in the comments ↓ ↓
Instagram post 2170133870110869641_5480751027 @tlcbooktours @natgeo partner ✨ . VISUAL GALAXY: The Ultimate Guide to the Milky Way and Beyond is a spectacular look at our solar system, the universe and the vast darkness of the cosmos. The photographs, illustrations, and interpretative graphics are as you would expect from National Geographic - impeccable and extraordinary in every single way. . The forward is written by the first Canadian astronaut to walk in space (what up my Canadian friends 👋🏻), Chris Hadfield. He’s a celebrity in his own right as he’s known for his books, photographs, and videos. For instance, I know him from his awesome video of where he sang David Bowie’s Space Oddity aboard the space station. 👨🏻‍🎤 . This gorgeous book is filled with in depth information about everything under the sun (pun intended), including the earth, our solar system, and beyond as well as details on the formation of the universe, stars, and planets. I found the section on exoplanets and the search for extraterrestrial life to be especially intriguing. . If you are looking for a comprehensive and stunner of a book about the universe that will sit prettily on your coffee table, this is the book for you. 💫💫💫💫💫
Instagram post 2169381774252103604_5480751027 I love this reading spot. It’s comfortable, with the perfect amount of light, but at home I love to read in bed. Where’s your favorite place to read?
Instagram post 2168677865527372849_5480751027 @gallerybooks #partner | . This stack gives me major heart eyes. There are so many fun books from @gallerybooks I don’t know where to start! I have read FISHNET by Kristin Innes and it’s fantastic. I think I might start THE TWISTED ONES by T. Kingfisher next because @franzencomesalive from @bookriot’s #AlltheBooks sang its praises! 🔥 . What are you all reading this weekend?! 🔥

And oh my goodness, do I love Kat and Helene. . If you like horror with complex storylines, wonderful characters, a rough coastal setting, archeological digs, cannibalism and cults, then you’ve found the right book. There is a reason why Nevill’s fans have been recommending his books to me - I am so glad I am finally among them. ★★★★★

This stack gives me life because every one of these books is a winner! 👏🏻👏🏻 Check out my stories for videos of BIBLIO•STYLE, VISIONS FROM THE UPSIDE DOWN, ASSASSIN’S APPRENTICE, and THE END OF THE WORLD ✨ . I’m sneaking in another #bookrecquickies because I finished THE CHEFFE by Marie NDiaye - it’s so fantastic! Read it if you love foodie books! Also I’m excited to start RUNNING WITH SHERMAN (because a rescue donkey is cute) and LIFE UNDERCOVER (CIA! Coming-of-age! Hello?!) 🎉 . How is your Tuesday going? I’m about ready to give up on Tuesdays myself 😂
Instagram post 2170456587955766307_5480751027 Weekly #bookrecquickies are here! And up first is NINTH HOUSE by @lbardugo. It’s deliciously dark and disturbing which I love! Did I mention IT’S DARK?? So no, it’s most definitely not a YA fantasy. It’s very adult with elements of fantasy, mystery, magic, and ghosts! And it’s phenomenal. Plus every time I look at this beautiful blue edition from @waterstones my eyes sparkle 🐍🐍 . What’s your quickie book recommendation for me? Let me know in the comments ↓ ↓

VISUAL GALAXY: The Ultimate Guide to the Milky Way and Beyond is a spectacular look at our solar system, the universe and the vast darkness of the cosmos. The photographs, illustrations, and interpretative graphics are as you would expect from National Geographic - impeccable and extraordinary in every single way. . The forward is written by the first Canadian astronaut to walk in space (what up my Canadian friends 👋🏻), Chris Hadfield. He’s a celebrity in his own right as he’s known for his books, photographs, and videos. For instance, I know him from his awesome video of where he sang David Bowie’s Space Oddity aboard the space station. 👨🏻‍🎤 . This gorgeous book is filled with in depth information about everything under the sun (pun intended), including the earth, our solar system, and beyond as well as details on the formation of the universe, stars, and planets. I found the section on exoplanets and the search for extraterrestrial life to be especially intriguing. . If you are looking for a comprehensive and stunner of a book about the universe that will sit prettily on your coffee table, this is the book for you. 💫💫💫💫💫
Instagram post 2169381774252103604_5480751027 I love this reading spot. It’s comfortable, with the perfect amount of light, but at home I love to read in bed. Where’s your favorite place to read?
Instagram post 2168677865527372849_5480751027 @gallerybooks #partner | . This stack gives me major heart eyes. There are so many fun books from @gallerybooks I don’t know where to start! I have read FISHNET by Kristin Innes and it’s fantastic. I think I might start THE TWISTED ONES by T. Kingfisher next because @franzencomesalive from @bookriot’s #AlltheBooks sang its praises! 🔥 . What are you all reading this weekend?! 🔥
