From the #1 internationally bestselling author of 'Recipe for a Perfect Wife' comes a must-read book of the season. 'What Wild Women Do: A Novel' by Karma Brown is today's Featured #CanLit in-store for #MothersDay! 💕🇨🇦📚 "A 1970s feminist facing the costs of loss and autonomy strives to create a better future for women at her Adirondack camp; meanwhile, an aspiring screenwriter makes a shocking discovery in the present that sets her on a course of rewriting her own story. Rowan is stuck. Her dreams of becoming a screenwriter are stalled, along with her bank account, as she and her fiancé Seth try to make sense of what’s next for them after leaving LA. But when the couple takes a trip to a cabin in the Adirondacks, hoping the change will provide inspiration for Seth’s novel-in-progress, Rowan finds herself drawn into a story greater than her own—that of socialite-turned-feminist-crusader Eddie Calloway, who vanished one day in 1975 and was never found or heard from again. In a handbook left behind in the abandoned ruins of a once great camp, Rowan starts to discover clues to what happened to Eddie. As Rowan delves deeper into the mystery, we meet Eddie herself, a fierce and loving woman whose greatest wish was to host women at her camp and unlock their “wildness.” However, Eddie’s wild ways aren’t welcomed by everyone, and rifts between camp owners threaten her mission. When Rowan gets closer to the truth of Eddie’s disappearance, she realizes that it may hold the key to unlocking her own ambition and future."

Happy cover reveal day to Ash and Feather by @authorsmgaither 😍❤️ This book is the follow up to the incredible incredible read, Flame and Sparrow!!! Do you have a favorite indie author? @authorsmgaither is definitely one of mine. I discovered her other books last year and have never looked back since!!! My review for book one ❤️ ✨Can I just start out by saying that S.M Gaither is just a magical, exquisite story teller? I absolutely loved their previous series, Shadows and Crowns. That was one of the first series from an indie author that really opened my eyes to incredible books that are out there being published dependently! So, Flame and Sparrow. Where can I even start with this book? It was just amazing. AMAZING. We have Karys, an elf working to destroy the gods that punished her people and stripped them of their power and status. In order to further the revolution, she convinces the god of Forge and Fire, Dravyn, to allow her to serve him his court — leading to a series of trials and meddling gods. Karys was such a strong, badass main character and so much of her broke my heart in a way. Her story was so beautifully dark that you couldn’t help but root for her despite the gods being more likable than expected. And Dravyn, oh Dravyn. One of the top book boyfriends of the year, for sure. I never thought of a MMC who glass blows, but I LOVED it. I was fascinated by the air of sadness Dravyn carried and I just loved his character and overall development. Shoutout to Moth, our wonderful little griffin, who, like me, explodes when feeling strong emotions. I also loved Valas, god of winter. I hope we get more of him in book two! So, not only was the story amazing, the main characters incredible, the side characters were just so fun! I can’t wait for book two!✨ #SMGaither #FlameAndSparrow #AshAndFeather #FlameAndSparrowDuology #ACourtOfTheMarrNovel #Marrlands #BOMMtours #BOMMIndieAuthors #BookOfMatchesMedia #bookstagram #bookcoverdesign #bookcoverreveal #bookstagrammer #fantasyromance #fantasybooks #bookreviewer #fantasyreaders #supportindieauthors #indieauthorsofinstagram #readindie #booksbooksbooks #bookphotography #bookclub #bookclub #books

The other day we posted the three nominees for Writers' Federation of New Brunswick The Fiddlehead Pottery prize, today we feature 'The Face of Everything' by Allan Cooper! 💕🇨🇦📚 "Our faces express a wide range of emotions, but with masking restrictions during Covid, we all had to learn to listen more carefully and read emotions through people's eyes. Some of the poems in this book directly express those feelings of isolation and it is a theme which influences the entire collection. Reflecting on the notion of "the persistence of memory" and immortality, Cooper writes eloquently about his own memories as well as dreams. He writes, "It is almost as if dreams are storehouses for memories themselves, perhaps another form of immortality." Both profound and straightforward in its insightfulness, The Face of Everything celebrates the everyday moments of joy and contentment as well as those of loss and sorrow. Here are poems of rejoicing and of grieving that can teach us how to inhabit the world with gentleness towards all living things. This new collection of Allan Cooper's work also provides vivid images of nature, particularly in his home province of New Brunswick, and his powerful, meditative poems ultimately profess his enduring understanding and appreciation of compassion and love."

I need a well-rounded personal life to fit the company's image. In other words, a committed relationship. So, I’m done. Done with casual dating and morning afters. The only way I can get what I want is to jump head-first into the dating pool. A quest to find the perfect guy—it shouldn’t be hard, right? Miller Friends with benefits. That’s the unattainable goal every guy wants, right? All the fun with zero commitment. No deep conversations or romantic entanglements—just frantic touches and fast kisses. That's what Emma and I have. Now, she wants to settle down and find her great love. Not with me, of course. She’s made that clear. It shouldn’t bother me—I’ve never wanted more. Until now.

Like the gorgeous first edition hardcover of 'To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods' (by Molly X Chang) that features a poster, color endpapers, a custom-stamped case, & a foil jacket! 💕🎁📚 "NATIONAL BESTSELLER • She has power over death. He has power over her. When two enemies strike a dangerous bargain, will they end a war . . . or ignite one? Heroes die, cowards live. Daughter of a conquered world, Ruying hates the invaders who descended from the heavens long before she was born and defeated the magic of her people with technologies unlike anything her world had ever seen. Blessed by Death, born with the ability to pull the life right out of mortal bodies, Ruying shouldn’t have to fear these foreign invaders, but she does. Especially because she wants to keep herself and her family safe. When Ruying’s Gift is discovered by an enemy prince, he offers her an impossible deal: If she becomes his private assassin and eliminates his political rivals—whose deaths he swears would be for the good of both their worlds and would protect her people from further brutalization—her family will never starve or suffer harm again. But to accept this bargain, she must use the powers she has always feared, powers that will shave years off her own existence. Can Ruying trust this prince, whose promises of a better world make her heart ache and whose smiles make her pulse beat faster? Are the evils of this agreement really in the service of a much greater good? Or will she betray her entire nation by protecting those she loves the most?"

#WyrdAndWonder prompt 8 The Icy Wastes of Waiting for the Next Book Aurilean Gates series by @jeh.book not because it takes ages between books - it took just over a year from book one to book two. However I already can't wait for book three! I already loved Hannaford's first duology, so when I was offered an ARC for the first book in her new series, I jumped at the chance! This is very different in tone and style to The Skin, but I enjoyed it at least as much, if not even a tiny bit more. At first the book seemed to be on the lighter end of stories. However, the setting grows and the world building gets ever deeper the farther you go. Once again I adored all the little details about flora and fauna, that made this an immersive world you could really walk into, and get lost in, while not being so much it hampers the plot progression. We start out with three different POVs who I all liked right away. They are quite different to each other, which offered a nice contrast. * A young man who has led a pretty sheltered life so far, and learns there's so much more out there than he ever knew. He starts out pretty naive, and I enjoyed seeing him find his feet. ✒️The land was dotted with fallen debris, some old and moss covered while others had not been free of the cliffs long enough for their angry, angular edges to have softened.✒️ * A woman who is an outcast in her own society, who all live a hard life at the whims of another species. Trust is hard to come by, when you spent your whole life hiding, and afraid. ✒️Elissa’s scars shone various shades of red through to silver – a map of her life, of the sharpness of life in Dragonsbreath.✒️ * And a girl who gets to go on an adventure, which doesn't turn out the way she thought it would. ✒️If I couldn’t see this, what else in these tunnels has been hidden in plain sight? * And we can't forget a personal favourite of mine - the furry companion! You can see Star on the cover, and I just adore this ball of enthusiasm and canine weirdness. ✒️Star cleared the small fence with ease and knocked his feet out from under him, enveloping Darin in a happy, wagging sensation.✒️

Have you met our lord and savior Alekxander yet? Book mail from THEE @authorkatherineann Have you started this series yet? If you are a fan of darker fantasy with a dash of spicy times you should considered checking this story out. The amount of love I have for the characters Katherine has created. Don't let the sheer size of Heir of Flesh and Bone scare you it is a work of pure art andmy favorite so far. Its full of healing and badassery and lots of tension. 👀 I finished it in a few short days i could not put it down. A deliciously dark tale of power and survival... Follow along as Riven, a seemingly Mortal woman, is lured from her village on a Red Moon night. By a strange twist of cruel fate, she is held captive, beaten and starved by Faye creatures that she wasn't sure existed until now. All for a magic she didn't know she had. She's faced with a decision to give in. Take the easy way out and let the realms fall into chaos under an ancient being. Or fight back with everything she has. #booksta #fantasybooks #bookrecs #indiebooks #readindie #fantasyseries

One Town, One Book 💙 Our annual reading initiative to get Waterbury on the same page - LITERALLY! Our vision for this project is two-fold: One: We want to provide a common experience for neighbors to start conversation, book clubs, and shared moments. Each of us have so much more in common with one another and that could start on the page! Two: We love supporting local authors. Annie Seyler is a Shelburne author who has set the story of Beatrice’s childhood in rural Vermont. By selecting local stories each year, we hope the community finds common ground and continues building a Waterbury that is filled with conversation, collaboration, and understanding. Stop by Bridgeside Books or visit The Waterbury Public Library to get your hands on a copy of Annie Seyler’s, The Wisdom of Winter! And no…it’s not actually about Winter. Winter is the name of a horse. . . . #shoplocal #shopsmall #shopvermont #visitvermont #visitwaterbury #localauthor #vermontauthor #otob #onetownonebook #readmorebooks #readindie #indiebookstore #neiba #vermontbookstores #independentbookstore

i had a totally different post lined up for today, one about sitting out in the sun reading my book. but it didn’t feel right at all. not after waking up to news of Rafah being invaded & heinous police violence taking place on a solidarity encampment in my hometown. so that post can wait for another day. yes, it is important to take breaks in order to sustain the energy to fight for justice. and i am incredibly lucky to have the privelege to do so. not everyone has time to stop, let alone a book to read, or a safe place to rest. this is not a moment to stop fighting. this is the moment to escalate, mobilize, and Free Palestine 🇵🇸❤️ i’ve been reading Inara: Light of Utopia. it’s a collection of writing by queer & trans Palestinian authors, reflecting on the idea of utopia. what does that look like to you? how do we get there? when i had the delight of hearing the book’s editor, Mx. Yaffa, read from and speak about Inara, Yaffa said there was no direct English translation for the word inara, but that it means something like “illuminating” or “light that lights another” (anyone feel free to correct me if i’m remembering wrong!). what i took from that was the idea that we are all capable of providing light, providing energy, that can sustain a movement. when we fight for utopia, others are energized to take up the cause. it only works if we’re working together. we are helping one another burn brightly through collective action rather than burning ourselves out. i honestly don’t know how to articulate my full thoughts on this idea, but this post is a start! please feel free to comment or DM me if you’d like to discuss any of this further. i’m always working to broaden my understanding, and to connect with folks who want to take action ✨ the following slides contain info on ways to take action, from your home or out on the street, as well as orgs and accounts i’ve found useful as i educate myself on Palestine & civic action. #readpalestine #readpalestinianwriters #inaralightofutopia #readindie #readsmallpressbooks #smallpress #freepalestine #readforaction #bookstagrammer #authorssupportingauthors #readerlife

A fun night with friends turns into a nightmare for Courtney when one of the group goes missing. Things quickly get intense as the group stumbles into a horrifying ordeal. Casilli does a fantastic job infusing her story with tension and intensity. The book grabs your attention and doesn't let go. There are elements of cosmic creatures and a sweet romantic subplot. But the real star of the show was the monsters, known as "the judges." I can't say more without spoiling, but this was definitely a quick, fun spooky read! Thank you to Emily for this ARC. I am leaving this review voluntarily and all views expressed are my own. #Bookish #ReadingCommunity #BooksOfInstagram #Bookstagram #Bookstagrammer #igreads #ReadersOfInstagram #BookishPost #BookWorm #BookWormLife #BookReview #ReadersGonnaRead #BookishLove #ReaderLife #BooksBooksBooks #BookNerd #BookRec #ReadingIsFun #BookPost #BookRecommendations #BookLover #SupportIndieAuthors #ReadIndie #HorrorBook #Horror #HorrorBooks #HorrorBookstagram #HorrorReads #HorrorCommunity #RedeemThemAll

The other day we posted the three nominees for Writers’ Federation of Writers' Federation of New Brunswick Mrs. Dunster’s Award for Fiction, today we take a closer loot at 'Standing on Neptune' by Valerie Sherrard @valeriesherrard 💕🇨🇦📚 "Am I pregnant? This question shatters the peace of seventeen-year-old Brooke Palinder’s life one Monday morning when she realizes her period is late. Although shaken, she’s determined to hide her feelings and go about her daily routine as though nothing is wrong. Brooke’s boyfriend Ryan handles the news poorly, and she can’t bring herself to confide in anyone else, not even her best friend. In an effort to distract herself, Brooke throws herself into a school project about Neptune, which leads her to some startling discoveries and a surprising sense of connection to the distant planet. But by Saturday, she knows she must face the answer to the question that began her week. Standing on Neptune is a novel in verse from the celebrated author of Counting Back from Nine, The Glory Wind, and Birdspell."

#WyrdAndWonder prompt 6 - Storyhenge Anthologies or collections May I recommend Touchstones by the wonderful @stephanieburgisinwales ? Touchstones is one of those rare books, I want to give more than 5 stars. Which means even more, as it's a story collection, and I usually prefer longer formats. These stories however felt like they were written especially for me, and I feel like I need to tell everyone and their dog about this wonderful book! There's a lot of different tones and styles to be found in here, and not one of them I didn't like. They all have a touch of romance, but they all have a lot more than that! ✒️"A deeply impractical way to find his missing dance partner." I shook my head, setting one finger in my book to mark my place. "It certainly fits his appalling reputation, though. Has anyone suggested that he simply look at maidens' faces as a better way to recognize the girl he loves? Or was her face not actually what he was looking at last night?"✒️ From cosy to funny, from thoughtful to silly, from fluffy to darker and from regency to a campus in our time. ✒️"Then that keeps women and the lower orders safely in their place, doesn't it? Leaving the magic to the gentlemen who rule the empire." The other girl snorted. "No wonder they don't want anyone else sharing their power. They wouldn't let me into university either, even though I'd taught myself Latin and Greek as well as any Eton student. But do you think I'm going to let them stop me?"✒️ There's two things though, all these stories have in common: 🌪️ A good twist ♀️ Amazing female main characters, who know or learn about, their own strength and goals! I loved the way this book made me feel when reading, from a small contented sigh, over smirks and snorts, to full on "Yay girl, you got this!" air punch moments, I got it all along the way. If you're looking for a book with strong female protagonists forging their own paths, but you also want something that leaves you more resilient and happy than before, instead of angry or depressed, I can't recommend this enough! (oh, and it also has some nice LGBT moments as well! 🏳️‍🌈)

y’all i have been absolutely DEVOURING the Stariel series from @a.j.lancaster!!! i didn’t know gaslamp fantasy was a thing before these, and wow do i love it 🤩 beyond the genre, the world Lancaster has created is vivid and engrossing, filled with characters that i was charmed by. if you like magic, fae, strong women, giggle-worthy moments, and big complicated families, then you’ll love these books! these stories have a strong romantic through line, but the main focus of the plot is more adventure & fantasy based, which is exactly how i like things ✨ the love between people in this series is so so heartwarming (and i don’t just mean romantic love! the familial relationships & friendships present are equally valued in the narrative, which i adored!) plus, there’s LGBTQ+ rep, which becomes more prominent in the later books i absolutely recommend reading The Lord of Stariel! and once you do, lmk so we can talk about it ✨✨✨ #indieauthor #readindie #authorssupportingauthors #readingromance #romantasybooks #gaslampfantasy #bookishfeatures #stariel

Named a Most Anticipated book of 2024 by TIME ∙ The New York Times ∙ Goodreads ∙ Entertainment Weekly ∙ Today.com ∙ Paste ∙ SheReads ∙ BookPage ∙ Woman's World ∙ The Nerd Daily and what your #Mom wants for #MothersDay! 'Funny Story' by Emily Henry @emilyhenrywrites is in-store now! "A shimmering, joyful new novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong thing in common, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry. Daphne always loved the way her fiancé Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling it…right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra. Which is how Daphne begins her new story: Stranded in beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with a dream job as a children’s librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra’s ex, Miles Nowak. Scruffy and chaotic—with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads—Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she’s either FBI or in witness protection. The roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan. If said plan also involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together, well, who could blame them? But it’s all just for show, of course, because there’s no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé’s new fiancée’s ex…right?"

The other day we posted the three nominees for Writers’ Federation of New Brunswick Writers' Federation of New Brunswick Mrs. Dunster’s Award for Fiction, today we take a closer loot at 'Cocktail' by Lisa Alward @lisaalward 💕🇨🇦📚 "A girl receives a bedtime visit from a drunken party guest, who will haunt her fantasies for years. A young mother discovers underneath the wallpaper a striking portrait that awakens inconvenient desires. A divorced man distracts himself from the mess he’s made by flirting with a stranger. These intimate, immersive stories explore life's watershed moments, in which seemingly insignificant details—a pot of hyacinths, a freshly painted yellow wall—and the most chance of encounters come to exert a tidal pull. Set in the swinging sixties and each decade since, Cocktail reveals the schism between the lives we build up around us and our deepest hidden selves.

“A fantastic novel about the power of family, be they blood, human or not. Of love and loyalty and strange talents. Of heat and violence and storms and a Fishman. A tight heart-filled tapestry of almost alternate history that hits all the notes I crave in weird fiction. I adored it.” —John Boden, author of Jedi Summer, Spungunion, and Snarl . As an unlikely found-family flees toward Galveston, a psychic young girl bonds with Charlie Fish, an enigmatic gill-man. Meanwhile, they are pursued by bounty hunters determined to profit from the spectacle of Charlie. But the Great Storm—the worst natural disaster in U.S. history—is on its way. Josh Rountree’s strikingly original debut novel ranges effortlessly between the Gothic, pulp, literary, Western, and comedic. . #joshrountree #thelegendofcharliefish #charliefish #novella #western #fantasywestern #galveston #galvestontexas #booklife #booksbooksbooks #publishing #readindie #pulpfantasy #gothicwestern
