Hey everyone! Quick life update. I‘ve had my Litsy from the very beginning of Litsy and I finally took the step of making an actual Bookstagram. I haven‘t been super active on this platform in a while but I would love to reconnect through Instagram. Please give me a follow and shoot me a message. My handle is The_BookishBrew

As soon as I read the synopsis for this book, I was sold. Went to my book store and bought it because I didn‘t want to wait for the library. Now I‘m reading it and can hardly follow because of the vocabulary this guy is using. I‘m really hoping I can get into this book because it sounds so promising!

For some reason it took me forever to read this book, despite all of the amazing reviews and hype. I was surprised when I found it to be a bit slow. Don‘t get me wrong, I didn‘t see the twist and I couldn‘t put it down, it‘s just not what I was expecting. Still a great and entertaining read.

This was such a fun and romantic book! Quick and easy ready 🤗

Y‘all. I CAN NOT 😭 I‘m so proud! He loves when I read him books, always brings them to me and sits in my lap but I walked into his play room earlier and he was sitting there like this, playing like he was reading and he‘s had his book since. Also, notice his coffee cup toy.... 😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I can‘t recommend this book enough. Just finished it and I believe it might be my new favorite from SK. It‘s not his normal scary horror, instead it‘s more of a psychological thriller. It had me on the edge of my seat and I couldn‘t put it down!

I feel like I‘m having a dilemma. I have two library holds that came in on the same day (how does this always happen to me?) and both books are pretty lengthy. Now, I‘m stressing that I won‘t be able to finish them both, so I‘m going back and forth between them but feel like I‘m reading them so slowly! UGH! THE ANXIETY! I think I‘m just going to have pick one and stick with it. And request the other one in the future. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Well, that‘s not nice to hear about your home state! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Both of these just came in for me and the library and I am SCREAMING! Which one should I start first?!

Does sitting in a café with a book put anyone else at ease? It‘s one of my favorite things to do when I have time.

Onto the next one! 🤗

When Ingrid, a new friend of Jules, suddenly and suspiciously goes missing, Jules can‘t help but to take action to find her. This isn‘t Jules‘s first rodeo when it comes to a loved one gone missing and it soon uncovers a long and dark history at the famously unforthcoming Bartholomew Building.
Ooooohh..... this was a good one! Couldn‘t put it down.

When you start reading a “new” book and in the first sentence you realize you‘ve already read it.. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

I love the way Ruth weaves her stories. I found myself guessing and jumping to conclusions (none of which were right) more then the main character. And she knows how to read the readers just right. I remember thinking this book was starting to drag some and then the character said “I know I you‘re wondering where I‘m going with all of this.”
Another great book by Ruth Ware. I really enjoyed it.

When the library requests start coming in from when you stalked @crimebythebook Instagram.

I‘m almost finished with The Broken Girls, which one should I go to next?! Help me!

I‘m really enjoying this books so far. I saw @crimebythebook recommendations the other week on her instagram and had to grab it from the library.

It has a very creepy feel to it and I‘m liking it.

Wow, I haven‘t flown through a book that fast in close to a year. It was completely engrossing with some of the most beautiful quotes while also being extremely thought provoking.
This text box isn‘t big enough for everything I would love to say about this book. And I know I‘m late to the party on reading this one so I‘ll leave you with this...
If you haven‘t read this one yet, PICK IT UP!

American Dirt is being described as timely and a book that will stay with you.
“A literary epic story of one Mother‘s will for her and her young son‘s survival amidst the complete collapse of the world around her that propels her to seek literal refuge on American Dirt.”
Available January 2020!

After reading this book, my son is never leaving my sight. This is every parents worst nightmare, a missing child.
The book is written from Rachel (mother) and DI Jim Clemo and focuses on the pain and panic of the timeline for a missing child. It also shows how social media can twist perspective even when they don‘t have facts and hurt the parties involved.
I really enjoyed this read and didn‘t figure out the kidnapper so that‘s a plus!

Anyone else relate?? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Because I‘ve been feeling really overwhelmed lately and just need some comfort and these books have never failed me.

I‘ve been LOVING this whole series but this book is killing me. Please someone tell me it gets better! I miss Barrons! @BooksTeasAndBookishThings I know you can help meeeeeee!!!

This book was just ok to me. Definitely more of a slow burn, unlike her past books that definitely left you shocked. There were a couple of surprising places but just had me saying “oh wow” instead of “HOLY $H!T”.

Wait a second.... *looks side to side* 🤔

These are a few of my favorite things. 💙📖☕️

This is what my “me” moments consist of. The Hallmark channel and a book. #whilethebabysleeps

This book has been on my shelf FOREVERRRRR. Why did it take me so long to pick it up?!?! I flew though this and can‘t wait to start Bloodfever. Barrons is swoon worthy. 🖤🖤

When the last two books you‘ve read, that have nothing to do with one another, bring up the Tuatha de Danann and you start to hear the Twilight Zone music in your head... 😂😂😂

Freefall starts off with a plane crash in the mountains, the only survivor is Allison. Her VERY wealthy fiancé and also the driver of the private plane was not so lucky. After Allison gathers her bearings, she makes her way through the mountains to save herself. But what is she saving herself from? Because someone is still after her. Was the plane crash a accident? One person is determined to get to the bottom everything, Allison‘s estranged mom.

I am beyond excited for this book! This thriller is being described as heart stopping, addictive and a hell of a debut.

My reading has been cut down a good bit lately but I love when I get a moment of down time to grab a book.
If you‘re on the market for a good book, check out this one! The Mother-in-Law comes out April 2019, a book about a woman‘s complicated relationship with (you guessed it) her mother-in-law that ends in death and keeps you turning the pages for clues of what really happened.

No judgement here right? 😂 because i judge myself enough.

Do y‘all have certain books you read almost every year with certain seasons? Like those books just bring in that season for you? Twilight is one of those books for me. I also watch the movies (even though they are terrible) when they come on TV. It means fall is here along with cooler weather. They go hand in hand. What are your season go to‘s?!

Emmett‘s first trip to Barnes and Noble!! He was absolutely thrilled... 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

It has taken me over a month BUT I‘ve finished my first book since I‘ve had Emmett. It was a very good read, I can‘t believe it took me so long to finish but motherhood will do that to a person I guess. Y‘all should definitely check this one out, I had ideas of how it would end, part of what I thought was right but the other half left me shocked.

Husband is working night shift thanks to hurricane Florence and the baby is already asleep, time for me to catch up on some reading! Loving this book so far.

This was the last book I was able to finish before I had my baby and it was a GREAT one to end on. I‘m sure I don‘t have to tell y‘all, King does it again with his imagery. Loved this book from cover to cover. But now I have a little boy to look after so I might not have much of a chance to read... anyway, hope to sharle another review soon, it will most likely be Dr. Suess.

This was between a so-so and pan for me. It was just such a STRANGE read! I‘m not even sure how to sum this up for you. All of the characters were so unlikeable. Honestly, every single character was awfullllll. I thought TGOTT was bad.... but this... 😫

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! I‘ve been looking forward to this one for a while! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

I forgot to post my haul from the library sale the other weekend!! 😍😍😍

If this book is on your TBR.... Don‘t waste your time. One of the worst books I‘ve read in a while. Anticlimactic, boring, repetitive, dull. Even the “twist”, if you can even call it that, was less than shocking. I kept reading in hopes that it would get better butttttt I should have bailed after all.

Did anyone else struggle with this one? Please tell me it gets better. I‘m 150 pages in and begging for a point to this book. I feel like I‘ve been on “the day of the barbecue” for a month now and the characters just keep repeating themselves. It‘s dull! That climax better be something.

This book ended up being really good! It started a little slow but when it took off I couldn‘t put it down. It was also pretty relatable to me since I grew up in a similar neighborhood.

But then she‘d tell me, right simple: You can never have too many people who love you.

Nothing like books and baby bumps! In case I forgot to tell y‘all, WE‘RE HAVING A BOY! 💙💙 his name is Emmett 😍

Sometimes, you just need a Nicholas Sparks book in your life. This really helped me out of my slump, I couldn‘t put it down and devoured it in only a couple of days. Some of his books I find slightly predictable (although good!) but this one held my attention and the plot twists I didn‘t see coming.

I am FINALLY coming out of my reading slump, this has by far been my longest one. Anyway, onto the review. This book made my skin crawl, it is not all that far fetched at all and truly terrifying. It really made me think and try to put myself in Grace‘s shoes as to what I would do and how i could get out. I did find Grace naive but I couldn‘t help thinking about my town and if a wife of a higher up man called abuse, who would listen and help.

Time to spill the beans, we have something brewing! Sorry for being a little absent from Litsy lately but I‘ve had baby on the brain!

This was definitely a fast paced thriller. I have seen where this has been compared to TGOTT, the whole unreliable/drunk/ unstable narrator. Butttt I liked this WAY more than TGOTT, so if that is holding you back, don‘t let it. Most of the story builds with Anna inside her house and some might find that part dragging but it was very intriguing the way the author did everything. I saw a couple of the twists but the big one left me SHOOK! Loved it!

This was a cute and fun book. If you love a mystery with a little romance and your looking for something easy, check this book out!
