Ten August Reads
Summer hasn’t come to an end yet but we are hitting that summer peak. Can you feel that heat? I bet you can if you live in the South! Lack of air-conditioning during the extremely hot and humid months are a huge no-no (*waves index finger dramatically*). There is never a bad month for reading. Bookworms love a good seasonal theme for books, so here are ten book recommendations for August Reads, which consists of a mixture of fiction and nonfiction. Currently Reading: The Center (Building the Circle series) by Maggie M Lily August Reads Recommendations: Girl Stop Apologizing by Rachel Hollis Secrets of a Summer Night (Wallflowers series) by…

July Unplugged Unboxing
It finally came! After impatiently waiting for my first Unplugged Book Box it has finally arrived. I was so excited to find the official Unplugged Book Box delivery! Unplugged Book Box’s July theme is Fearless. It includes two books and seven usable items. Unfortunately, a couple items won’t be pictured. Specifically the Lord of the Rings themed lemon squeezer because my Mother took claim to it right away! Psst! An unboxing video is available on Instagram. Letters from the authors! Letters from the authors of the included books in the box was a surprise, especially since Jennifer Estep was one of the authors. I did an author interview with her…

Healing the Orphaned Heart (ARC)
Spoiler Free Review Book ruts are one of the worst things for a bookworm, which is exactly what I have been in… yet again. Until now. I received an ARC of Healing the Orphaned Heart by Rebecca Lange. It is set to be released June 4th, 2021. Be sure to grab a copy on Amazon! Have you ever read a book that was like taking a step back in time yet felt like you were living it in present time? That is exactly what Healing the Orphaned Heart delivers. Rebecca Lange writes beautifully. Amongst her words are hidden gems of lessons taught and lessons learned. Many might disagree with me…

Making Time As a Bookworm
A while back there were quite a few people in the reading community asking other readers (otherwise known as bookworms) how they make time for reading. Amongst that was also the topic of self care and social media burnout. Before adulting happens (unfortunately it does happen!) the life of a bookworm is filled with libraries, bookstores, book clubs, etc. No matter how hectic your schedule is there is always a way to make time for reading as well. Not to mention being able to read for 12 hours straight or longer! Bathroom and meal breaks are allowed, of course. Let’s not forget parents having too much concern about too much…

Author Shoutout – Rebecca Lange
Shoutout to Rebecca Lange, author of Grandfather’s Will, for being a great author and an awesome person to talk to! If you aren’t already following her on Instagram then I assure you that you will want to. Even if you aren’t a bookworm she is worth following. She posts some of the funniest memes that I have ever seen online. She is interactive with her followers and is an all around great person. Please don’t forget to show authors some support by purchasing their books and leaving a book review. A book review doesn’t have to be lengthy and it can simply be a star (multiple star, of course!) rating.…

Lady Whistledown Explodes Netflix
Fans of period movies and books were ecstatic to find out that Bridgerton was coming to Netflix. It’s not that often a good period piece is released that isn’t in book format. Pride and Prejudice, anyone? Bookworms and movie fans alike have always debated on their favorite actress that played Elizabeth Bennet. My personal favorite is Keira Knightley. I have seen that version of Pride and Prejudice at least a dozen times. It forever remains one of my favorite movies. Oddly, I have yet to see Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Bridgerton is part of the Netflix Original lineup. It was released December 25th, 2020. Upon releasing, Bridgerton, blew up…

Out of Darkness
During my zombie book phase I saved a bunch of zombie themed books to my TBR (to be read) list, including the first book of The Starborn Saga by Jason D. Marrow. Out of Darkness is set in a dark dystopian world, but is a little unique in its book theme. Not only does it have zombies, but it also includes characters with super powers. Mora, the main character, has a large journey ahead of her. Zombies and saving her village are only a portion of that journey. New found powers with so much uncertainty in this dark world is not an easy feat. There is some romance thrown into…
