✈️ book tour team ✈️ It started with a simple idea after seeing a Black author speak about the obstacles of marketing a book as a new author. From there, it’s turned into something more. When I first came up with this idea, I didn’t know how long or how many books I’d support, but I did know that I needed a dedicated team of people. Meet, Margins to the Middle. I’m so happy this group took a chance on this project and I’m even happier to the marginalized authors we’ve helped along the way, even if it’s just a small nudge, feeling their gratitude has been so special. Here’s to working with more authors in the future! Please share far and wide and help marginalized authors market their book babies!

✍🏼 Advanced Book Review 📝 DONT’T TELL ME HOW IT ENDS Adrienne Thurman PUB: 4/14 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🥹💚🐈‍⬛😊❤️‍🩹 💬 𝗤𝗢𝗧𝗗: What makes a good character arc? …or… Name a book couple you think made it past the epilogue! 𝗕𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗙 𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪: Kaia Harper, recent college graduate, has no interest in love. And no interest in her degree. Without a plan, she moves home. Turns out her sister, Zola, does have an interest in love… as a matchmaker. As a favor to her sister, Kai signs on as XO by Zo’s first client. The only thing standing in the way? One Ro Jackson, who doesn’t scare easily. Will Kai’s insistence on playing it safe and protecting herself ruin the one good guy out there? 𝗠𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗦: Kaia’s character arc might be one of the best I have read. Or at least the best in recent memory. Bitter and standoffish, Kaia was committed to the bit. But Thurman absolutely nailed Kaia’s development. You know how sometimes you read a book and the closed off FMC is all of a sudden open to love and marrying her beau? Not here. Kaia’s development didn’t feel forced or rushed. It came off as incredibly genuine and heartfelt. Then there’s Ro. My word. I just found a new book boyfriend. Ro’s steadiness refused to give up on Kaia. He didn’t push. He didn’t pester. He didn’t issue ultimatums. He let Kaia think she was in charge and directing the course of the friendship. Meanwhile, Ro waited. He laid his cards on the table and had faith in Kaia. Because of that, I believe Ro and Kaia are end game. Don’t Tell Me How It Ends is a book about relationships—romantic relationships, friendships, parent-child relationships, sibling relationships—and I’m here for them all. This book is tenderness and vulnerability. 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗗: Most definitely. 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗙𝗘𝗖𝗧 𝗙𝗢𝗥: 🥹 tenderness 💚 green flag MMC 🐈‍⬛ black cat FMC 😊 solid character arcs ❤️‍🩹 vulnerability Thank you, @netgalley and @thedialpress for the #gifted copy! Be sure to check back tomorrow for the next stop on the tour: @kismetchaserlibrary !

Romance recs from the girlies! Thankful for all the friends I’ve made on bookstagram who like to yap about books with me! I asked a couple friends what romance book they’d recommend if they could only choose one! Here are their answers! I have only read Pride and Prejudice from this list so I have a bunch to add to my TBR! If you could only recommend one romance ever again what would you pick? Mine would probably be Funny Story by Emily Henry.

Happy Monday! ✨ Even though I’ve finally gotten to sleep in, I’m really tired! Over the weekend, Joe and I carried two 5-drawer dressers from our neighbor’s house to ours. I’ve also been trying to start planning the boys’ birthday parties next month (we have three birthdays in July and my in-laws are visiting right in the middle so ya girl is going to be busy... and stressed. 🫠). I found some time to sneak away to my town’s local second-hand shop. I didn’t find what I was hoping to find, BUT I did walk away with four books that have been on my TBR list! And since the books were all 50% off I sort of had to bring them home with me. No idea when I’ll actually get around to reading them, though. 😅 🔽 Tell me about your weekend using emojis! Here’s mine: 🍷🔥🔨🛍️🌱🏠📖😴 🫖🫖🫖 BOOKS FEATURED • Shipped by @angie_hockman • Float Plan by @trishdoller • Expiration Dates by @rebecca_serle • Lies and Weddings by @kevinkwanbooks . . . . #booksta #bookstack #tbrlist #physicaltbr #usedbooks #shopsecondhand #bookcommunity #cozynoveltea
