{Thank you @crownpublishing for this free book! #prhpartner} . THE BARROWFIELDS by PHILLIP LEWIS . SYNOPSIS: . A richly textured coming-of-age story about fathers and sons, home and family, recalling classics by Thomas Wolfe and William Styron, by a powerful new voice in fiction Just before Henry Aster’s birth, his father—outsized literary ambition and pregnant wife in tow—reluctantly returns to the small Appalachian town in which he was raised and installs his young family in an immense house of iron and glass perched high on the side of a mountain. There, Henry grows up under the writing desk of this fiercely brilliant man. But when tragedy tips his father toward a fearsome unraveling, what was once a young son’s reverence is poisoned and Henry flees, not to return until years later when he, too, must go home again. Mythic in its sweep and mesmeric in its prose, The Barrowfields is a breathtaking debut about the darker side of devotion, the limits of forgiveness, and the reparative power of shared pasts. ••• This sounds like a powerful literary fiction which I am so in for. Which literary fiction have you recently read? Do you enjoy the genre? 💚 ••• #TheBarrowfields #PhillipLewis #PenguinRandomHouse #CrownPublishing

A wonderfully fresh take on a marriage in trouble, Do This for Me is a bighearted, warm, and funny novel driven by Eliza Kennedy's signature wit and humor. ••• You know how I love stories about complicated marriage!

THERE ARE NO GROWN-UPS HERE BY PAMELA DRUCKERMAN . SYNOPSIS: The best-selling author of Bringing Up Bebe investigates life in her forties, and wonders whether her mind will ever catch up with her face. When Pamela Druckerman turns 40, waiters start calling her "Madame," and she detects a disturbing new message in mens' gazes: I would sleep with her, but only if doing so required no effort whatsoever. Yet forty isn't even technically middle-aged anymore. And after a lifetime of being clueless, Druckerman can finally grasp the subtext of conversations, maintain (somewhat) healthy relationships and spot narcissists before they ruin her life. What are the modern forties, and what do we know once we reach them? What makes someone a "grown-up" anyway? And why didn't anyone warn us that we'd get cellulite on our arms? Part frank memoir, part hilarious investigation of daily life, There Are No Grown-Ups diagnoses the in-between decade when... - Everyone you meet looks a little bit familiar. - You're matter-of-fact about chin hair. - You can no longer wear anything ironically. - There's at least one sport your doctor forbids you to play. - You become impatient while scrolling down to your year of birth. - Your parents have stopped trying to change you. - You don't want to be with the cool people anymore; you want to be with your people. - You realize that everyone is winging it, some just do it more confidently. - You know that it's ok if you don't like jazz. Internationally best-selling author and New York Times contributor Pamela Druckerman leads us on a quest for wisdom, self-knowledge and the right pair of pants. A witty dispatch from the front lines of the forties, There Are No Grown-ups is a (midlife) coming-of-age story, and a book for anyone trying to find their place in the world. ••• Hahah this book sounds so hilarious. I’m not forty yet but this feels like this one was written for me 😂 I am having some Nora Ephron vibes here! Are you interested in books like this? ••• Thank you so much @penguinpress for my copy! ♥️ ••• #ThereAreNoGrownUpsHere #PamelaDruckerman #PenguinPress

❝The walls of books around him, dense with the past, formed a kind of insulation against the present world and its disasters.❞ ― Ross Macdonald ••• Mondays again huh? Why do I always have to drag myself out of bed on Mondays? Is it wrong to look forward to the weekend already? Gahhh. 😭 What are you currently reading? Are you enjoying it? ••• #Reading #ilovetoread #nerdytalksbookblog #pages #bookworm #bibliophile #booklover #writtenwords #justread #read #ipromotereading #vscocam #vscobooks #goodreads #blogger #bookblogger #unitedbookstagram #flatlay #bookish #goodreads #macbookair #sunniesspecs #vangogh

SHADOW CHILD by RAHNA REIKO RIZZUTO . SYNOPSIS: . A haunting and suspenseful literary tale set in 1970s New York City and World War II-era Japan, about three strong women, the dangerous ties of family and identity, and the long shadow our histories can cast. Twin sisters Hana and Kei grew up in a tiny Hawaiian town in the 1950s and 1960s, so close they shared the same nickname. Raised in dreamlike isolation by their loving but unstable mother, they were fatherless, mixed-race, and utterly inseparable, devoted to one another. But when their cherished threesome with Mama is broken, and then further shattered by a violent, nearly fatal betrayal that neither young woman can forgive, it seems their bond may be severed forever--until, six years later, Kei arrives on Hana's lonely Manhattan doorstep with a secret that will change everything. Told in interwoven narratives that glide seamlessly between the gritty streets of New York, the lush and dangerous landscape of Hawaii, and the horrors of the Japanese internment camps and the bombing of Hiroshima, SHADOW CHILD is set against an epic sweep of history. Volcanos, tsunamis, abandonment, racism, and war form the urgent, unforgettable backdrop of this intimate, evocative, and deeply moving story of motherhood, sisterhood, and second chances. ••• Thank you so much @grandcentralpub for sending me a copy of this book. Another diverse book you guys, and what an intriguing premise! Are you inclined reading diverse books? I need more recommendations! Happy Sunday everyone! 🖤 ••• #ShadowChild #GrandCentralPublishing #RahnaReikoRizzuto

❝It was the truth! For the truth to make a difference, it needs to be said by one person at a time, until there’s a noise loud enough to make a difference.❞ - Tarryn Fisher, Folsom (The End of Men Book 1) ••• Finished another book, am I on a roll or what? 😂 Folsom, Folsom, goodness where do I even start? Let’s just say this isn’t my cup of tea (anymore). A part of me tried really hard to like it, a part of me finds the premise so obnoxious yet unique at the same time, and a part of me just wants it to be over. 🙃 It was a post-apocalyptic/dystopian where men go extinct and there are only 12 men left to impregnate as much women as possible to be able to repopulate. I know, me too, I had to process all that. And boy was it crazy, and sadly not the good kind. Read on my full review on the blog! And can I just say I miss the old Tarryn Fisher? I love her, but Folsom just didn’t do it for me. 😭😭😭 ••• #Folsom #EndofMen #WillowAster

CALYPSO by DAVID SEDARIS . SYNOPSIS: . David Sedaris returns with his most deeply personal and darkly hilarious book. If you've ever laughed your way through David Sedaris's cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you're getting with Calypso. You'd be wrong. When he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun with those he loves most. And life at the Sea Section, as he names the vacation home, is exactly as idyllic as he imagined, except for one tiny, vexing realization: it's impossible to take a vacation from yourself. With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation toward middle age and mortality. Make no mistake: these stories are very, very funny--it's a book that can make you laugh 'til you snort, the way only family can. Sedaris's powers of observation have never been sharper, and his ability to shock readers into laughter unparalleled. But much of the comedy here is born out of that vertiginous moment when your own body betrays you and you realize that the story of your life is made up of more past than future. This is beach reading for people who detest beaches, required reading for those who loathe small talk and love a good tumor joke. Calypso is simultaneously Sedaris's darkest and warmest book yet--and it just might be his very best. . ••• Calypso is another selection from @bookofthemonth this June. Any fans of David Sedaris here like me? Love this guy’s humor! I laughed so hard when I was reading Me Talk Pretty One Day. I’m sure Calypso will be just as good of not more! Do you like funny books? I do! Hahaha look at that cover it is so weird you have to pick it up, haha tbh I won’t expect anything less from this author! 😂 ••• #Calypso #DavidSedaris #BookOfTheMonth #botmbookbassador

❝And maybe some people are like collages - no matter how broken or useless we felt, we were an essential part of the whole. We mattered.❞ - Heather Demetrios, I'll Meet You There ••• Finished I’ll Meet You There the other day and boy did I miss reading books like this one. It brought back my old self, that person who would willingly stay past her bed time just to finish a book, that old self who’s carefree and just find pure joy in reading. Sadly these days, I hardly have time and to be honest I am not as enthusiastic as before. So reading this one is such a breath of fresh air, it’s like the universe conspired for me to end up reading this book. . I’ll Meet You There is an honest, beautiful and realistic story about two flawed characters trying to deal with their own demons. I love how the romance was played out well, it was a slow burn and just right. Full review on the blog! Rating: 5/5⭐️ ••• Have you read this one? Can you recommend something like it? ••• #IllMeetYouThere #HeatherDemetrios #SkylarEvans #JoshMitchell

MY YEAR OF REST AND RELAXATION by OTTESSA MOSHFEGH . SYNOPSIS: A shocking, hilarious and strangely tender novel about a young woman’s experiment in narcotic hibernation, aided and abetted by one of the worst psychiatrists in the annals of literature. Our narrator has many of the advantages of life, on the surface. Young, thin, pretty, a recent Columbia graduate, she lives in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan paid for, like everything else, by her inheritance. But there is a vacuum at the heart of things, and it isn’t just the loss of her parents in college, or the way her Wall Street boyfriend treats her, or her sadomasochistic relationship with her alleged best friend. It’s the year 2000 in a city aglitter with wealth and possibility; what could be so terribly wrong? This story of a year spent under the influence of a truly mad combination of drugs, designed to heal us from our alienation from this world, shows us how reasonable, even necessary, that alienation sometimes is. Blackly funny, both merciless and compassionate – dangling its legs over the ledge of 9/11 – this novel is a showcase for the gifts of one of America’s major young writers working at the height of her powers. ••• This book sounds definitely right up my alley. I love flawed characters. I can already sense this will be a favorite. ••• Are you like that as well, upon reading the blurb and looking at the cover, you already have that feeling that it will be your favorite? Happens to me most of the time, and mostly my gut feel is right! 😉 . ••• Thank you so much, as always, @penguinpress for sending me and advance copy. 🖤 ••• #MyYearofRestandRelaxation #OttessaMoshfegh #PenguinPress
