Hello and happy happy Tuesday friends! I’m deep in the tax season craziness, but I’ve always got time for beautiful books! ✨ Today I want to talk you about Eyes On Me by @rachelharrisbks ! This beauty is out today and Rachel is going to stop by the comments section to answer this question: •From beginning to end, quickly explain your road to publication for Eyes On Me. Thank you so much @entangledteen & @tlcbooktours for sending me a copy of this book! Check out the synopsis below and say hi to Rachel in the comments! 💗 ✨ Synopsis: Look up the word “nerd” and you’ll find Lily Bailey’s picture. She’s got one goal: first stop valedictorian, next stop Harvard. Until a stint in the hospital from too much stress lands her in the last place a klutz like her ever expected to be: salsa dance lessons. . Look up the word “popular” and you’ll find Stone Torres’s picture. His life seems perfect—star of the football team, small-town hero, lots of friends. But his family is struggling to make ends meet, so if pitching in at his mom's dance studio helps, he’ll do it. . When Lily’s dad offers Stone extra cash to volunteer as Lily’s permanent dance partner, he can’t refuse. But with each dip and turn, each moment her hand is in his, his side job starts to feel all too real. Lily shows Stone he's more than his impressive football stats, and he introduces her to a world outside of studying. But with the lines blurred, can their relationship survive the secret he's been hiding? . . #eyesonme #rachelharris #yacontemporary #yaromance #yabookstagram #entagledteen #tlcbooktours #teenreads #yalit #performingarts #dance #teenromance #romance #bookishconnoisseur #booklove #beautifulbooks #bookphotography #bookgram #readergram

Happy Monday bookish babes! Today I’m participating in the review tour for Beautiful Bad by @annienighward ! Thank you so much to @harlequinbooks & @tlcbooktours for providing me with a copy of this wonderful book! ✨ THIS BOOK! It was gripping from the very beginning. I had such a hard time putting it down and only did so when my eyes became too heavy to continue reading. If domestic thrillers are your thing, you will absolutely want to pick this one up! Head over to my blog, linked in bio, to read my full review! Synopsis: Things that make me scared: When Charlie cries. Hospitals and lakes. When Ian drinks vodka in the basement. ISIS. When Ian gets angry... That something is really, really wrong with me. . Maddie and Ian's romance began with a chance encounter at a party overseas; he was serving in the British army and she was a travel writer visiting her best friend, Jo. Now almost two decades later, married with a beautiful son, Charlie, they are living the perfect suburban life in Middle America. But when a camping accident leaves Maddie badly scarred, she begins attending writing therapy, where she gradually reveals her fears about Ian's PTSD; her concerns for the safety of their young son, Charlie; and the couple's tangled and tumultuous past with Jo. . From the Balkans to England, Iraq to Manhattan, and finally to an ordinary family home in Kansas, sixteen years of love and fear, adventure and suspicion culminate in The Day of the Killing, when a frantic 911 call summons the police to the scene of a shocking crime. . . #beautifulbad #annieward #harlequinbooks #harlequinpublicityteam #tlcbooktours #domesticthriller #thriller #psychologicalthriller #parkrow #crimefiction #suspense #greatbooks #mustread #pageturner #bookishconnoisseur #booksofig #bookgram #readergram #bookblogger #bookreviewer #bookphotography

•Thank you @atriabooks for gifting me this book!• Happy happy Friday friends! I’m so excited that it’s finally starting to feel like spring here in Iowa! It gives me the motivation to do all the things! ✨ If reading historical fiction is in your list of things to do, The Parting Glass by @mymarginalia sounds like a fantastic read! Synopsis: By day, Mary Ballard is lady’s maid to Charlotte Walden, wealthy and accomplished belle of New York City high society. Mary loves Charlotte with an obsessive passion that goes beyond a servant’s devotion, but Charlotte would never trust Mary again if she knew the truth about her devoted servant’s past. Because Mary’s fate is linked to that of her mistress, one of the most sought-after debutantes in New York, Mary’s future seems secure—if she can keep her own secrets… . But on her nights off, Mary sheds her persona as prim and proper lady’s maid to reveal her true self—Irish exile Maire O’Farren—and finds release from her frustration in New York’s gritty underworld—in the arms of a prostitute and as drinking companion to a decidedly motley crew consisting of a barkeeper and members of a dangerous secret society. . Meanwhile, Charlotte has a secret of her own—she’s having an affair with a stable groom, unaware that her lover is actually Mary’s own brother. When the truth of both women’s double lives begins to unravel, Mary is left to face the consequences. Forced to choose between loyalty to her brother and loyalty to Charlotte, between society’s respect and true freedom, Mary finally learns that her fate lies in her hands alone. . . #thepartingglass #ginamarieguadagnino #atriabooks #historicalfiction #historicalfictionnovel #lgbtbooks #upstairsdownstairs #bookishconnoisseur #booksofinsta #bookphotographer #bookphotography #bookreader #readergram #bookgram #bibliophile #readbooks #beautifulbooks

•I received this book as a #partner for @booksparks #YAWRC2019 • For March we are reading The Tesla Legacy by @kkperezbooks ! Science fiction is one of my favorite genres so I’m super excited about this book! 🧬 Synopsis: THE TESLA LEGACY follows a precocious young scientist named Lucy Phelps whose fateful encounter in the Tesla Suite of the New Yorker Hotel unlocks her dormant electrical powers. As Lucy struggles to understand her new abilities through scientific experimentation, she is thrust into a centuries old battle between rival alchemical societies. . One side wants her help and the other wants her dead, but both believe she is the next step in human evolution. Unfortunately, carriers of the genetic mutation—including Nikola Tesla—have a greatly reduced life expectancy. Even if Lucy can outrun her enemies, she can’t outrun herself. . . #theteslalegacy #torteen #kkperez #yasciencefiction #yascifi #yafantasy #yafantasybooks #yabookstagram #yabooks #bookishconnoisseur #booksparks #booksharks #bookphotography #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #beautifulbooks
