Nothing better than a lazy morning spent starting a new read ‍♀️ Huge thanks to @ParkRowBooks for the review copy of THE STRANGER INSIDE by Lisa Unger, on sale 9/17!! • On the blog today I’m so thrilled to give CBTB readers the chance to read an exclusive excerpt from suspense master Lisa Unger’s newest novel, THE STRANGER INSIDE direct link to the post in my IG profile!! THE STRANGER INSIDE is a stand-alone suspense novel that’s receiving incredible early praise — including a quote from one of my personal favorite authors, Riley Sager, who calls it “a darkly thrilling tale of survival and obsession” I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Lisa Unger at a number of crime festivals over the past few years, and I’m truly so inspired by her: not only is she a New York Times bestselling author with tons of accolades under her belt, but she’s ALSO one of the most warm, welcoming people I’ve met in the crime fiction community. ❤️ I’m thrilled to be digging in to Lisa’s newest novel today, & to give you guys the chance to read a little bit of the book along with me on the blog!! • THE STRANGER INSIDE follows Rain Winter, a stay-at-home mom living the perfect suburban life. But Rain has a dark past. When Rain was 12 years old, she narrowly escaped an abdication while walking to a friend’s house. Her two best friends, Tess and Hank, were not as lucky. Tess never came home, and Hank was held in captivity before managing to escape. Their abductor was sent to prison... but was released years later, only to be killed in cold blood upon his release. Now, Rain has put her past behind her, determined to live a life of normalcy. But when another brutal murderer who escaped from prison is found dead, Rain is drawn to the case. Eerie similarities to the murder of her friends’ abductor force Rain to revisit memories she thought she had left behind. Could there be a vigilante at work? • Who here is a Lisa Unger fan?! Anyone else excited for THE STRANGER INSIDE? ‍♀️

I’m a sucker for a good true crime book, podcast, documentary, etc., so I got way too excited when @gallerybooks sent me a copy of MY FRIEND ANNA by Rachel DeLoache Williams. #gifted • This book is written by Anna Delvey’s (or, I should say, Anna Sorokin, the Russian con woman posing as a German heiress) friend who was conned out of $70,000. The summary alone was enough to draw me in, but so far I’ve found this story entirely absorbing. I’m not too far into it yet, but I’ve found it really interesting to notice the moments that would have seemed rather innocuous, but given the context of what happened, take on a predatory and sinister undertone. • Is this one on your list? Are you a fan of true crime? What are some of your favorite books/shows/documentaries/podcasts

It’s a very good Friday. I now have a three week break from school, it’s an after hours program for teens celebrating the end of summer tonight, and I don’t work tomorrow. The only reading I’ve done the past week is for school and audiobooks, so I’m penciling in some time to finish THE DUKE AND I. . I also really want to start bullet journaling and finding mini creative outlets that can help channel all the anxious energy I have. Anyone out here bujo? Have some fav accounts or materials? What about favorite journaling prompts . . . . . . . . . . . #bookstagram #bookblogger #cozyview #hygge #hyggeblogger #bookstagrammer #bookishview #bibliophile #cozyreads #booksbooksbooks #summerreads #summerreading #Booksandbeans #booksandcoffee #coffeeandbooks

I haven’t been on in a few days because I took a wonderful weekend trip with my parents and husband to St. Louis for a Cards game and a zoo visit, then I got home and immediately set to work on my final project due tomorrow. . I’ve only been able to pick up a book this morning, and that’s okay. At this point, I’m pretty guilt-free with reading. It ebbs and flows. I’m still loving HIS HIDEOUS HEART, and there’s one story that has absolutely blown me away. Once I finish the collection, I’ll post more about it. . Short magical realism and horror stories are some of my favorites. I loved TOIL & TROUBLE last year too. Do you have any recs for collections . . . . . . . . . . . #bookstagram #bookblogger #cozyview #hygge #hyggeblogger #bookstagrammer #bookishview #bibliophile #cozyreads #booksbooksbooks #summerreads #summerreading #Booksandbeans #booksandcoffee #coffeeandbooks .

One of the things I love about the romance bookstore in my city is that they support local authors. Their booksellers take the time to really understand a customer’s taste and make recommendations. I think they hit the nail on the head with these two witchy romances! . Day 3 of #kissandtell19 is reading a historical romance written in the past 5 years. I’ll share a few in my stories, and I can’t wait to see what your choices are! . . . . . . . . . . #bookstagram #bookblogger #cozyview #hygge #hyggeblogger #bookstagrammer #bookishview #bibliophile #cozyreads #booksbooksbooks #summerreads #summerreading #Booksandbeans #booksandcoffee #coffeeandbooks #readaromancemonth

Just a quick #throwbackthursday to when I was still in New York (ie. last Thursday). I can’t wait to get back there, but in the meantime, I’m taking advantage of all that there is to do and see in the Bay Area. • Oh and in other news, it’s officially my birthday month ()! I’m excited to celebrate. What are some of your favorite ways to spend your birthday?

@putnambooks #partner . Starting my first book of August! 70ish pages in and already hooked. It centers around three women in post-apartheid South Africa, and it’s a time period and a place I haven’t read very much about. I hope this is just the first book of many that I read about this period. . I also love that you can see the title of this book from 5 miles away because it makes photographing it much easier .
