A To Z Book Review: Night Road By Kristin Hannah

My letter “N” pick for this year’s A to Z Reading Challenge was NIGHT ROAD by Kristin Hannah. This book flooded my emotions and wrung me dry. What a ride. This is one of those books that you finish, then call up your friend and say, “this book broke my heart and had me screaming with rage, then tore me into pieces and used peanut butter to put them back together again. You MUST read it!” NIGHT…

In HEIR OF THE OTHERWORLD, Rosaleen is lucky enough to have Aengus, the Irish god of love as her godfather. He sees the warmth and humanity inside her no matter how hard she tries to stamp it out.

Meet Brin - he's the ghost of an Irish bard (known as the Fili) and he escorts Rosaleen on her epic quest to the Otherworld, the realm of the Irish gods. He's full of humor and heart, and one of my all-time favorite book boyfriends. ❤️📚 HEIR OF THE OTHERWORLD is out now!

Eyes on the prize, Rosaleen. Once you battle monsters and gods (with your snarky Irish ghost sidekick) and fulfill your destiny, you can forget you’re the half-human daughter of the goddess of death and finally get a life. And maybe a solid Instagram following.

It's Pub Day for HEIR OF THE OTHERWORLD!

When the snarky, centuries-old ghost of an Irish bard insists on haunting Rosaleen, it's the LAST thing she needs. She's got a kingdom to liberate and a mother - who happens to be the goddess of death - to please. She's had a life without choices, and now it'll take a dead man to teach her how to live.

One week to Shore Leave 46 and I am seriously yippee-skipping with excitement! Will I see you there?

[ledelano]

Welcome to my holiday weekend! I'm spending the time off cleaning, tossing, donating, and shoving stuff into storage. God willing, there's a move on the horizon.

HEIR OF THE OTHERWORLD is two weeks away - can you believe it? I've been waiting so long to share Rosaleen's story with the world, and I am so excited for you all to read it.

A To Z Book Review: Marcel The Shell With Shoes On - Things About Me by Jenny Slate and Dean Fleischer-Camp

My letter “M” pick for this year’s A to Z reading challenge was MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON: THINGS ABOUT ME by Jenny Slate and Dean Fleischer-Camp. This delightful children’s book is the direct result of a hugely popular set of YouTube videos by the same name that were posted fifteen years ago. I loved Marcel and the way he loves himself, and this peek into his quirky little life was…
