🩸 BUDDY READ ANNOUNCEMENT! 🩸 It's hard to believe, but January is actually almost over...so it's time to announce next month's #getthrilledbuddyreads pick! @torriereadsalot and I are so excited to be doing THE WEIGHT OF BLOOD by @writeinbk 🎉 Torrie has read it and loved it, and I can't wait to dive in! If you'd like to join us, just comment below (or DM me) and we'll add you to the chat when we set it up. We can't wait to #getthrilled with y'all! SYNOPSIS: New York Times bestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson ramps up the horror and tackles America’s history and legacy of racism in this suspenseful YA novel following a biracial teenager as her Georgia high school hosts its first integrated prom. When Springville residents—at least the ones still alive—are questioned about what happened on prom night, they all have the same explanation . . . Maddy did it. An outcast at her small-town Georgia high school, Madison Washington has always been a teasing target for bullies. And she's dealt with it because she has more pressing problems to manage. Until the morning a surprise rainstorm reveals her most closely kept secret: Maddy is biracial. She has been passing for white her entire life at the behest of her fanatical white father, Thomas Washington. After a viral bullying video pulls back the curtain on Springville High's racist roots, student leaders come up with a plan to change their image: host the school's first integrated prom as a show of unity. The popular white class president convinces her Black superstar quarterback boyfriend to ask Maddy to be his date, leaving Maddy wondering if it's possible to have a normal life. But some of her classmates aren't done with her just yet. And what they don't know is that Maddy still has another secret . . . one that will cost them all their lives. 🩸🩸🩸 #buddyreads #buddyreading #buddyread #theweightofblood #tiffanydjackson #tiffanydjacksonnovels #tiffanydjacksonauthor #tiffanydjacksonbooks #thrillerbooks #februarybuddyread #yaliteraturejunkie #yaliterature #yalovin #yalit #yalove #blackauthors #blackwomenoncover #blackwomenoncovers #blackwomenwriters #blackwomenwrite #amreading #bookstagrambuddyreads https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn4yFWcL7A0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We're having a big thunderstorm right now, which I love, and which is perfect for reading a spooky book -- especially one set in rain-soaked Oregon! Have you read ⛈️ THE BOOK OF COLD CASES ⛈️ by @simonestjames? If so, what did you think? (But no spoilers, please!) If you've read it and want to be added to the chat group for this weekend's #getthrilledbuddyreads discussion, LMK! I'm looking forward to chatting about this one with everybody -- I'm about 1/4 in and very intrigued to see where it goes. I might have gotten a wee bit spooked reading in the pitch dark after midnight last night, when I was the only one awake 😳 Hope everyone has a wonderful afternoon/evening! ⛈️ ⛈️ ⛈️ #getthrilled #thebookofcoldcases #simonestjames #simonestjamesbooks #simonestjamesauthor #spookyreads #spookybooks #thrillerbooks #thrillingreads #crimethriller #crimethrillerbooks #creepybook #creepybooks #creepyreads #buddyreads #buddyread https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc066i6vmIF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

✂️ BOOK REVIEW ✂️ This was our #getthrilledbuddyreads read for September, and boy was it ever perfect for the return-to-campus time! I absolutely loved this debut thriller from @ashleywinsteadbooks, and felt like I was back on the campus of Duke University the whole time I read (not that we ever had a murder, nor did I hang out with a bunch of possible murderers, but otherwise... 😂). This book is an excellent examination of privilege as well as sociopathy, and while some people in our group figured out the killer before the big reveal, I personally hadn't. We also had *the most excellent* discussion over Zoom with Ashley, who was kind enough to share a Friday evening with us! (Thanks to @torrie_reads, who had the guts to ask her 🙌🏼) Our discussion of the "unlikeable female character" still sticks with me; that whole idea has long been a burr for me, and it's exactly what Ashley was trying to examine with this book. Anyway, I LOVED THIS, and I highly recommend it to any thriller/mystery fan!! Also I CANNOT WAIT for Ashley's next book, which sounds amazing 😍 Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Side note: ICYMI, for our November GTBR we are doing THE LAST THING TO BURN by Will Dean!
