π―ββοΈ BLOG+BOOKSTAGRAM TOUR REVIEW π―ββοΈ β¨ Flash giveaway in my stories!!! β¨ THE KILLING CODE is, incredibly, my first read by @elliemarney. I know I have an older one of hers on my shelf, but havenβt read it yet (which I will be rectifying immediately!). I was thrilled to join this tour and see what all the buzz is about. I love historical fiction books, and if you make it feminist *and* a murder mystery? I am so in! In this book we haveΒ βcode girls,β the young women who worked night and day in the codebreaking brigade during the war, coupled with a series of gruesome murders of government girls that our intrepid group decide they must solve because the police are too blinded by their prejudices. The characters are all wonderfully drawn, and the romance is absolutely *chefβs kiss*. I had butterflies at the same time Kit and Moya did! Thereβs also loads of information on the actual codebreaking work the girls do, and itβs obvious a *ton* of research went into this book. Marney also addresses the racism, classism, and sexism of the era in America (which we all know isnβt just historical). I love the theme of found family, which is one of my favorite tropes, especially in YA. Top it off with some great mystery-solving techniques from Kit, Moya, Dottie, and Violet, and I can honestly say there is nothing I didnβt love about this book. I suspected I knew who the killer was, but I definitely wasnβt sure until right about when it was figured out, so that was a great ending for me! I highly recommend THE KILLING CODE to anyone who enjoys a great mystery and/or historical fiction. I really hope youβll pick this up, and let me know what you think! RATING: βββββ Thanks to @littlebrownyoungreaders for the copy of the book, and to @tbrbeyondtours for having me on! π―ββοΈ π―ββοΈ π―ββοΈ #thekillingcodeπ #thekillingcode #elliemarney #elliemarneybooks #yalit #YAfiction #yamystery #histfic #wwiicodebreakers #wwiicodegirls #youngadult #youngadultfiction #littlebrownyr #tbrbeyondtours #tbrbeyond #bookstagrammers #bookstagramtour #bookstagram #yabookstagrammer #bookreviewers #bookreview #bookreviewblogger #BookKeepingBlog #5stars #5starread #thrillerfriendsunite #mysterybook https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci0L10SLmFX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

QTOD: Are you a mood reader? I definitely am! π Iβd say my mood is in control of what I read about 95% of the time these days. Which makes reading an extra interesting adventure and sometimes extremely frustrating. Weβre only one week into the month and Iβve already DNFed about 10 books because my mood canβt make up its mind about what it wants to read. Iβd get a few chapters in and then itβs like βnever mind, thank you, next!β. π Anyways, I started #ACurseSoDarkAndLonely and really enjoyed the first 6 chapters. Hopefully, the best is still to come and I can FINALLY both A) read this series thatβs been on my TBR for YEARS and B) commit to a book and actually finish reading it. If youβre a mood reader, any tips on picking books to read? β . . . β challenges #BookReadHappyHour [RIP my TBR] . and really enjoyed the first 6 chapters. Hopefully, the best is still to come and I can FINALLY both A) read this series thatβs been on my TBR for YEARS and B) commit and finish reading at least one book this month. #BrigidKemmerer #bookphotography #bookrecommendations #booksofinsta #goodreads #yabookstagrammer https://instagr.am/p/CiN8cUyNwuY/

Trying my hand at slate coasters; what do you think? The first one is, unsurprisingly, based on Marissa Meyerβs Gilded. Iβll likely have some more coming soon!! If youβve seen my engraved books, you can probably guess as to which ones. As always, engraved books and an engraved copy of Gilded are available at ReaderFoxBookshelf on Etsy! #bookstagram #booksta #readersofinstagram #bookshelf #bookshelfdecor #bookreview #bookshelfie #bookstore #bookish #bookquote #bookmail #yabookstagram #yabooks #yabookstagrammer #youngadultbooks #youngadultbooksgram #amreading #amreadingya #marissameyerbooks #universeofmarissameyer #gilded #serilda #gild #lunarchronicles #bookart #tbr #bookishdesigns https://www.instagram.com/steffreaderfox/p/CXyzXlbJDaK/?utm_medium=tumblr

This thriller releases next Tuesday, Sept 19, from @littlebrownyoungreaders @thenovl. SYNOPSIS: Beloved #1 bestselling author James Patterson delivers a thrilling novel about a teen caught between two worlds and the truths that could set her freeβor trap her forever. My name is Hannah Dory and I need you to believe me NOW: Hannah Doe is brought to Belman Psych, kicking and screaming, told she is suffering from hallucinations and delusions. 1347: Hannah Dory and her village are starving to death in a brutal winter. Hannah seeks out food and salvation in the baron's castle. If she is caught stealing, she will surely hang. NOW: Hannah knows the truth: she is Hannah Doe and Hannah Dory, and she must return to the past before it's too late to save her sister. Can Jordan, the Abnormal-Psych student who seems to truly care, be the one to finally help her? Jordan isn't sure what to believe, and Hannah has even bigger problems: if she doesn't make it back, her sister will die, but if she keeps going back, she might never escape. GIVEAWAY: There is a tour-wide giveaway of a finished copy, which you can enter at Book-Keeping blog (link in bio)! π° π° π° #thegirlinthecastle #jamespatterson #emilyraymond #emilyraymondbooks #jamespattersonbooks #jimmypattersonbooks #littlebrownyr #littlebrownbfyr #histfic #historicalfiction #timetravel #yaliteraturejunkie #yaliterature #yalit #yalovin #yalove #yabooks #yabookstagrammer #blogtour #bookspotlight #upcomingrelease #upcomingreleases #yafantasybooks #YAfiction #bookstagrammers #Bookstagrammer #bookstagram #booksbooksbooks #BookKeepingBlog https://www.instagram.com/p/CifoE32LY3U/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
