The Road from Raqqa: A Story of Brotherhood, Borders, and Belonging | Jordan Ritter Conn

This book, out today, is the story behind my favorite restaurant here in my little Nashville burb. Cafe Rakka is well-known for its amazing Syrian food, but I never knew the history, the immigrant story. Tomorrow evening, July 22, Parnassus Books is hosing a FB live event with the author and Chef Rakka (Riyad). I can‘t wait to read this! #stackit

Prairiegirl_reading I you aren‘t following parnassus on Instagram you must! Ann has made me seriously laugh out loud the past two Tuesdays on “lay down day”. She‘s great! Maybe someday I‘ll actually get to Nashville to see it for myself. 😕 4y

britt_brooke @Prairiegirl_reading Oh yes! She‘s been cracking me up. 💚 You would love the shop - it‘s amazing! I usually go into the city just for Parnassus about once a quarter. 4y

Somewhere in the Dark | R J Jacobs

pick

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jessie‘s horrific childhood shadows her still. Accused of stalking a famous country duo, her world shifts. She tries her best to live a normal life, but lands in an impossible situation. Written in first person, unreliable narrator style, but unlike a lot of current day thrillers, it‘s not just plot-driven, Jessie is a well-fleshed character. Darkness knows her well. This is where Jacobs, a practicing physiologist, shines. 👇🏻

britt_brooke PUB date: August 11, 2020. I had the pleasure of beta reading this book, so this ARC was my second time through. Jacobs is a local (for me) Nashville author and seems like a super nice person. #stackit (edited) 5y

vivastory Stacked, sounds right up my alley! Happy Mother's Day, friend! 5y

britt_brooke @vivastory Thank you! It‘s been a great day with my boys. 💚 RJ seems like a nice guy and his books are set here in Nashville. I‘ll tag his first. He asked me to beta read the new one which was really cool. First experience! The NetGalley version is *almost* perfect, but I‘ll leave that to the pros. Hope you check it out!

And Then You Were Gone
