Are you starting anything new this weekend?. . . I'm planning on cracking into The World That We Knew by Alice Hoffman. It was in one of my @callistocrate book boxes ! I'm ready for a #fiercefemale read. . . Here's the synopsis: In Berlin, at the time when the world changed, Hanni Kohn knows she must send her twelve-year-old daughter away to save her from the Nazi regime. She finds her way to a renowned rabbi, but it’s his daughter, Ettie, who offers hope of salvation when she creates a mystical Jewish creature, a rare and unusual golem, who is sworn to protect Lea. Once Ava is brought to life, she and Lea and Ettie become eternally entwined, their paths fated to cross, their fortunes linked. Lea and Ava travel from Paris, where Lea meets her soulmate, to a convent in western France known for its silver roses; from a school in a mountaintop village where three thousand Jews were saved. Meanwhile, Ettie is in hiding, waiting to become the fighter she’s destined to be. What does it mean to lose your mother? How much can one person sacrifice for love? In a world where evil can be found at every turn, we meet remarkable characters that take us on a stunning journey of loss and resistance, the fantastical and the mortal, in a place where all roads lead past the Angel of Death and love is never ending. . . . #historicalfiction #history #womeninfiction #womeninhistory #womeninwar #strongfemale #bookbabe #readingissexy #bookdragon #yeggers #weekendreading #weekendplans #bookishthoughts #readersofinstagram #theworldthatweknew #alicehoffman

Hey Friday, I've been looking forward to YOU! It's been quite the busy week and I'm excited for some relaxing time. . . I'm thinking of starting a new book this weekend since I finished The Wife and the Widow the other day. Right now I've only got one book on the go: Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi. It's fantastic and I'll put the synopsis at the end of this post in case you're interested. . . I do like to have two books on the go though. How about you?. . . Homegoing synopsis: Two half-sisters, Effia and Esi, are born into different villages in eighteenth-century Ghana. Effia is married off to an Englishman and lives in comfort in the palatial rooms of Cape Coast Castle. Unbeknownst to Effia, her sister, Esi, is imprisoned beneath her in the castle's dungeons, sold with thousands of others into the Gold Coast's booming slave trade, and shipped off to America, where her children and grandchildren will be raised in slavery. One thread of Homegoing follows Effia's descendants through centuries of warfare in Ghana, as the Fante and Asante nations wrestle with the slave trade and British colonization. The other thread follows Esi and her children into America. From the plantations of the South to the Civil War and the Great Migration, from the coal mines of Pratt City, Alabama, to the jazz clubs and dope houses of twentieth-century Harlem, right up through the present day, Homegoing makes history visceral, and captures, with singular and stunning immediacy, how the memory of captivity came to be inscribed in the soul of a nation. . . . #currentlyreading #alwaysreading #homegoing #bookworm #booklife #booklove #yegblog #librarybook #bookstagram

Nothing makes me happier than walking into a toy store and seeing a HUGE book section. This is just a sliver of what's available at @mastermindtoys . Way to go!!. . . Where's have you been pleasantly surprised by a collection of books for sale?. If you haven't been surprised, then where are your favourite places to see books for sale (besides a book store duh 😂). . . . . . . . #mastermindtoys #booksofinstagram #shelfie #yabooks #booksbooksandmorebooks #raiseareader #readaholic #bookaholic #bookishthoughts #booklover #bookstagram #canadianbookstagram #yegreads

Alone in the Wild book review - no spoilers - ⭐⭐⭐💫. . . I haven't read much of Kelley Armstrong's work but the synopsis on this one caught my eye. Thank you @minotaurbooks for the gifted e-copy in exchange for an honest review. This one is out early February 2020. . . This novel is part of a series that revolves around the remote town of Rockton. From what I can tell each book can live as a stand alone so jumping in around book 5 like I did is really no issue. . . What would you do if you were camping and heard a baby crying? Say you trailed the sound and when you came across the baby you found it enclosed in the arms of a woman who has passed, buried in the snow. Then what? For Detective Casey Duncan it was a no brainer. Examine the scene and get the baby to a safe, warm place where she can attempt to find who it belongs with. And then of course, find out what the heck happened!. . I enjoyed the variety of characters, the banter between them and the interesting way the various settlements functioned. If you're in the mood for a detective thriller with a unique setting - this one's for you! . . Here's the official synopsis: While on a much needed camping vacation with her boyfriend, Sheriff Eric Dalton, Casey hears a baby crying in the woods. The sound leads them to a tragic scene: a woman buried under the snow, murdered, a baby still alive in her arms. A town that doesn’t let anyone in under the age of eighteen, Rockton must take care of its youngest resident yet while solving another murder and finding out where the baby came from - and whether she's better off where she is. . . . #aloneinthewild #kelleyarmstrong #minotaurbooks #minotaurinfluencers #bookreview #whatiread #bookdragon #booksharks #readersofinstagram #notjustaprettybook #feelingbookish

With all the hubbub around the royal family lately, let's talk about royalty in fiction. It's a class that spans all genres, and can appear differently in each. Some have more power, some are purely figureheads. The structure can be fascinating, terrifying and sometimes even empowering. . . So, which books featuring a level of royalty are your favourites?. . . Off the top of my head I think of Lord of The Rings and Cinder but I know there are so much more! . . . . . . #royals #royaltyinbooks #royalbooks #bookishthoughts #booksbooksbooks #bookcrown #bookishcrown #readersgonnaread #booksofinstagram #booksta #yegblog #yegreads #fantasybooks #fictionbooks #romancebooks
