If you recall, a couple weeks ago I presented my 15 year old homeschool kiddo with a stack of books to choose as our next buddy read & this won out. He devoured this! Typically our buddy reads stretch out over 1-2 months. He finished this in less than a week & negotiated for extra LA hrs to keep reading 😂

I‘m happy to say I found it just as addictive as he did & the ending had us both in deep discussions! Very much looking forward to book 2!

TheBookKeepers A medically driven magic system, Bloodcarvers are feared by the public due to their ability to manipulate human anatomy with a single touch. Our main character is the last known of her kind and the story kicks off with her being captured and sold on the black market to the highest bidder. The story morphs into a world of aristocracy & and murder mystery that needs solved. 8mo
Allthebookclubs This sounds VERY similar to The Bone Shard Daughter! 8mo
TheBookKeepers Oh that‘s on my TBR, I‘ll have to read it soon @Allthebookclubs 8mo

This is a dystopian murder mystery which takes place on an island & home to the last humans on Earth. Between the AI character, multi POV format, and short chapters - this was an engaging mystery to unravel.

This book comes out May 2024! My buddy read group gave it 3.5-4 ⭐️

💭 Do you like books featuring AI characters? If so lmk some book recommendations for more bc I‘m into it!

I devoured Bride this week! While it was a little predictable and more on the basic side of fantasy 😂 I couldn‘t put it down! It was soooo cute & now I‘m craving more wolf romance in my life. Also I had to immediately reread Fangs, which is a quick graphic novel about a vampire +werewolf romance that I love! Have you read either of these? Or what book has your attention this week?

Kerrbearlib Haven‘t read either, but I am adding to my TBR list now! 9mo

Homeschooling my 9th grade son & this year we decided to buddy read books together as part of our language arts curriculum. We‘ve read True Biz, Marrow Thieves, and just finished Devil in the Dark Water. I present him with a varied stack (this one today!) & he reads the blurbs then selects one he vibes with. Which would you pick from this stack?

TEArificbooks I homeschool my kids too. For my 11th grader we buddy read together. This year we are doing British lit. I picked 10 authors to read going in order of publication and he picks the book per author. My 6th grader I do it the same way you do. I give him a stack and let him pick. He doesn‘t like fiction much but this method gets him to read fiction. 9mo
jdiehr One Thousand White Women is excellent! 9mo
TheBookKeepers @TEArificbooks yes it‘s a nice “trick” to get them excited to read a book of our choosing 😂 9mo

This book was so good! I love YA books that deal with big life issues bc that‘s what my teen years looked like. This book covers themes of mental health (bipolar), grief of losing an immediate family member, parental infidelity, & alcoholism all the while sharing such a heartwarming story of a friends to romance arc for the characters. Absolutely brilliant, highly recommend. What‘s the last book you read & LOVED? #youngadult #contemporaryfiction

This book!!! Ahhhh so damn good! Also idc if all her interviews say only the 2 ending poems were about MGK…. You cannot convince me that this book isn‘t 95% all about MGK. The receipts are too many between couple interviews + deets shared publicly about their life. I listened to the audio then read this copy a 2nd time and was pleasantly surprised to see beautiful illustration in it too!! A QUICK but riveting read.

Im not the target audience for this one, as my biggest complaint is that it was younger YA and not as captivating to me. But it‘s a cute romance with highlights on Indian culture. I enjoyed to dual POV format and thought a lot of it was cute, just not a favorite. What new releases have you read lately?

Name a romance you rec?

BethM Love Hypothesis, Spanish love deception are two that pop off my head. Pucked is funny and on page sex, Hooked was good for darker 1y
BethM Also that middle sticker is amazing. 1y

BethM While Hooked has criminal elements it‘s a more well fleshed out story. I‘d say it would be a good entrance into dark romance. 1y

5 ⭐️! This is written as a play & takes place in the trap room with all of Shakespeare‘s teen girls who met their tragic downfall. They each tell their own story in a creative and engaging format (written in verse). This book covers feministic themes and was such a fun one to read. I‘m not overly familiar with Shakespeare or a fan, and still loved this book!

Daisey I listened to the audio this past week and it was very well done. 2y
TheBookKeepers Oh I bet the Audio would be neat!! @Daisey I‘m curious, was it a full cast or just one voice actor? 2y

If you know my reading tastes, this lovely book won‘t be a surprise to you 😂 YA Fantasy with an enemies to lovers trope is my jam & this did not disappoint.

Even though this book itself is gorgeous, I did listen to this one on audio (it was amazing). It opens with a young prince showing an affinity for prophecy magic as he draws image after image of a girl with no eyes. Who is she, and why does he think they MUST save her? 5 ⭐️

Absolutely loved this dazzling new fantasy novel. Magic is outlawed, but the rich always can find what they need. For the right price you can buy the kiss of a Nightbird and their powers will be yours for the night. A story about found family, sisterhood, magical abilities, and overcoming a religious sect which seeks to control. A lovely read!

Fans of Bridgerton would ♥️ this! Follow 4 ladies as they approach their dating season in 1910 Chicago. I loved getting 4 POVs from Black women &felt transported to another time.Expect scandal, romantic scenes, &lots of rebellion from the youngsters-falling for those their parents wish they wouldn‘t🤭I didn‘t realize this was a series however, &would rec waiting until more release bc the ending does come abruptly w/o closing up a single romance😑

Meet my favorite book thus far of 2023!!! I devoured this audiobook ARC from netgalley and have been in the worst (best?) reading slump since. It‘s a fantasy novel with WWI atmosphere. Told in dual POVs about a girl who is a journalist/war correspondent, her rival, and a magical element with a secret pen pal so to speak. Slow burn romance that will squeeze your heart. Elegant prose. And epistolary elements! Comes out 4/4!

Read this for my Instagram book club this month and loved it!! A murder mystery where a principal has been shot and three students are the key suspects. Set in an all boys school in DC, this was a fun whodunnit YA book. Not only do we get POVs from all the suspects but there‘s lots of other chapters from the perspective of other students, teachers, community members, and more. Engaging format and an addictive read. Couldn‘t put it down

I just finished this book & had so much fun reading it! If you‘re craving a book w/ a “challenge” in the plot, this one did not disappoint. Each Sunbearer trial was unique & exciting. My only complaint was that there were a TON of characters introduced in the beginning w/ the history, the gods, & then all their kids. I had to write out a list to use as a quick reference bc I was lost. But once I had that, I sailed through it. LGBTQ+ rep

This cup was on point today. Feeling a little stressed so I cuddled up with the tagged book and LOVED it! Immediately put me in a better mood and helped turn the night around. It features werewolves, spirits, and classic teen voices and experiences with a little paranormal thrown in. I loved the LGBTQ rep (trans M/M) and the disability rep (autoimmune disease). My only complaint is I wish it had more color instead of gray scale illustrations

Absolutely beautiful!! I loved the plot, the characters, & the illustrations + color scheme was gorgeous. The story follows a young girl struggling w/ her family‘s & classmates bias of good hair vs bad hair. She dreams of embracing her natural curls. After facing bullies at school & ridicule from her family, she is left feeling hopeless until her Tia steps in. I love the msg of family & how the main character learns to stand proud in her choices.

Sabaa Tahir's Ember in the Ashes series is one of my favorites, so I was eager to read her next novel and more so intrigued that the genre was Contemporary. She made the transition of genres flawlessly. The characters and teens were incredibly raw and authentic to me. Their experiences were gritty and messy. The prose inserted throughout was stunning and I was on an emotional rollercoaster the entire time.

I made it about 35% into this thriller book and was bored. The way the story was narrated made it hard to connect with any of the characters and it was overly wordy imo. A slow burn of a thriller that wasn‘t capturing my interest. I looked up spoilers for how it ended and feel good about my decision to bail 😂 #bookkeepersreadathon

Spells for Forgetting | Adrienne Young

If you‘ve read Adrienne‘s YA books, her first adult novel is starkly different but still contains her signature touches of story telling. This book was a slower paced read for me as the story is unraveling mysteries of the past that haunts the island. Hints of magic are a strong undercurrent, as well as familial secrets, & an island town that sticks together. Told from an array of POVs & bounce b/t present day & the past. Haunting & atmospheric.

How do you feel about cussing in books? I for one find it hilarious if done in a way that‘s true to the character.

Loving this book so far. I watched a panel with Margot and she shared that she has ADHD and wanted to put the reader inside of the brain of her ADHD main character by utilizing the use of footnotes. So far I‘m loving the quirky format. Also the design of this book is absolutely beautiful.

TrishB I swear all the time, so reading it in books isn‘t odd for me! 3y

Hey poetry group! Just wanting to check in. I haven‘t received my poetry book yet for Dec round and wasn‘t sure if @WanderingBookaneer successfully received my copy of Love Poems that I mailed? I know it‘s a busy time of year, but just felt the need to check in since I haven‘t talked with you all since sign up 😊 @LazyDays @mklong

WanderingBookaneer I‘ve yet to receive it (do you have a tracking number), but @mklong received the book I sent. 3y
TheBookKeepers @WanderingBookaneer yes i just checked it and says expected delivery today 🤞 3y

Loved this new Children‘s book! Deja has lots of questions regarding the logistics of how Santa could possibly be real & visit city kids. Thus, her family and community help her by explaining their answers to her inquiries. The illustrations were absolutely beautiful and captured the Christmas spirit! Highly recommend!

@mklong @LazyDays @WanderingBookaneer I‘ll be mailing this tomorrow! #lmpbc

TheBookKeepers @mklong & @WanderingBookaneer I have not been successful at reaching Alicia via Litsy or email. I‘d recommend not sending her the next poetry book for our round until we get a response, since I never got the book from our first round from her. 3y
mklong Oh, I hope she‘s okay! But I agree, and will send Jeimy‘s book to you. 3y
TheBookKeepers @mklong @WanderingBookaneer do you guys know where Love Poems ended up last? Jeimy I mailed your poetry book last month so I hope you got it safely, my tracking shows delivered 🤞 3y

TheBookKeepers Ok thanks!! @mklong I lost track of the deadlines & wanted to check in when I saw the next round sign ups were up lol 3y
WanderingBookaneer The only poetry book I received (besides my own) was Love Poems. I don‘t recall reading anything else. 3y
TheBookKeepers Great I‘m glad yours made it back okay @WanderingBookaneer - loved your pick. Yes Alicia never mailed hers nor Katie‘s 😕. 3y
