Peng Shepherd

What is the purpose of a map? Nell Young’s whole life and greatest passion is cartography. Her father, Dr. Daniel Young, is a legend in the field and Nell’s personal hero. But she hasn’t seen or spoken to him ever since he cruelly fired her and destroyed her reputation after an argument over an old, cheap gas station highway map. But when Dr. Young is found dead in his office at the New York Public Library, with the very same seemingly worthless map hidden in his desk, Nell can’t resist investigating. To her surprise, she soon discovers that the map is incredibly valuable and exceedingly rare. In fact, she may now have the only copy left in existence... because a mysterious collector has been hunting down and destroying every last one—along with anyone who gets in the way. But why? To answer that question, Nell embarks on a dangerous journey to reveal a dark family secret and discovers the true power that lies in maps... From the critically acclaimed author of The Book of M, a highly imaginative thriller about a young woman who discovers that a strange map in her deceased father’s belongings holds an incredible, deadly secret—one that will lead her on an extraordinary adventure and to the truth about her family’s dark history.

Yesteryear

Caro Claire Burke

A traditional American woman, a beautiful wife and mother who sells her pioneer lifestyle of raw milk and farm-fresh eggs to her millions of social media followers, suddenly awakens cold, filthy, and terrified in the brutal reality of 1805—where she must unravel whether this living nightmare is an elaborate hoax, a twisted reality show, or something far more sinister in this sensational debut novel. My name was Natalie Heller Mills, and I was perfect at being alive. Natalie lives a traditional lifestyle. Her charming farmhouse is rustic, her husband a handsome cowboy, her six children each more delightful than the last. So what if there are nannies and producers behind the scenes, her kitchen hiding industrial-grade fridges and ovens, her husband the Republican equivalent of a Kennedy? What Natalie’s followers—all 8 million of them—don’t know won’t hurt them. And The Angry Women? The privileged, Ivy League, coastal elite haters who call her an antifeminist iconoclast? They’re sick with jealousy. Because Natalie isn’t simply living the good life, she’s living the ideal—and just so happens to be building an empire from it. Until one morning she wakes up in a life that isn’t hers. Her home, her husband, her children—they’re all familiar, but something’s off. Her kitchen is warmed by a sputtering fire rather than electricity, her children are dirty and strange, and her soft-handed husband is suddenly a competent farmer. Just yesterday Natalie was curating photos of homemade jam for her Instagram, and now she’s expected to haul firewood and handwash clothes until her fingers bleed. Has she become the unwitting star of a brutal reality show? Could it really be time travel? Is she being tested by God? By Satan? When Natalie suffers a brutal injury in the woods, she realizes two things: This is not her beautiful life, and she must escape by any means possible. A gripping, electrifying novel that is as darkly funny as it is frightening, Yesteryear is a gimlet-eyed look at tradition, fame, faith, and the grand performance of womanhood.

Saw this on my facebook and intended to sent it privately to my best friend but I messed up and share it on my profile for all my FB friends to see. It became a happy accident because my book friends (whom haven't talked to in a while) engaged on the post and we had fun on roasting my chaotic evil friends.

Book Nostalgia ✨

I was talking to my partner about what we used to read when we were younger and what books or series are super nostalgic to us and I was just wondering, what are some books like that for you? ☺️ Are there any books or series that are really nostalgic for you or maybe really shaped you in your younger years?

For me I think it’s probably The Hunger Games (like probably 90% of my generation😅), I just reread them as an adult for the first time and it was soooo great. Really nostalgic, but also such a different experience to read them with a fully developed frontal lobe (I’m looking at you Gale 🤨) And also (!) the infamous Warriors series (or Warrior Cats as they are called in German), I was the biggest fan (borderline obsessed tbh), I’m pretty sure I’ll never read them again, but they are very dear to my heart ❤️

But anyways, what are some of your nostalgic reads? I’m curious! 😇

Daily Reading Goals (subheading: will you stop in the middle of a chapter?)

How do you decide when to stop reading for that day or particular sitting? Do you set a reading goal for the day? Do you do this by setting a timer, establishing a number of pages to get through, determining an appropriate stopping point in the book based on chapter/part lengths?

Do you go purely based off of vibes and when you can no longer continue you get up and walk away?

My husband and I were debating this the other day. Personal Context: If I sit down to read, I will stick my bookmark ahead in the book as a benchmark for myself. If I get to that point and still feel like continuing to read for that sitting, I’ll move it ahead once more and continue on. If I can’t make it to that predetermined pause point, I may readjust based on time and energy. My one rule though, I refuse to stop in the middle of a chapter if at all possible. My husband on the other hand will simply close the book (sometimes with a bookmark of some sort in place, other times not which is a whole separate debate!) and go onto the next thing whenever he feels necessary. I know of other people who set a reading goal for themselves in terms of number of minutes reading or pages read, regardless of where that would land them in the book. When they hit that benchmark, unless they’re really engrossed in the book, they’ll be done for that sitting/day.

Curious to know how others feel about this, one way or another!
