After careful consideration, I’ve decided that I will not be accepting ARC readers for future releases unless it’s a select few who have already proven themselves to be trustworthy and dependable. As authors, we invest our own time, money, and resources into providing ARC opportunities because we want readers to experience our stories, help spread the word, and become part of our book communities. Applying for an ARC and then failing to follow through is disappointing and quite frankly, disrespectful to the author and the effort that goes into making these opportunities possible. Being an ARC reader is more than receiving a free book. It comes with a responsibility to follow through on the commitment you made. Life happens, and I understand that, but communication and consideration go a long way. I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to the very few who showed up, followed through, and honored their commitment.❤️ You know who you are, and I genuinely appreciate you! Moving forward, I’ll be more intentional about who I trust with early access to my work. My time, money, and stories deserve the same respect I give to the readers who support me. No hard feelings, just boundaries and lessons learned. I’m protecting my peace, my work, and my author journey. -AB The Author #ABTheAuthor #AuthorLife #ARCReaders #BookCommunity #IndieAuthor

Get your ereaders ready because there's something spooky coming just in time for Halloween 🎃. A murder mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat as you try to figure out exactly who is the culprit. The only rule is to NOT TRUST ANYBODY!!! Seven Days To Die By @Author Nadia Nicole Coming October 26th!!! Synopsis: Ten years ago, Autumn Mercer disappeared on Halloween night. Her sister, Daija, has always sworn she wasn’t there. She was wrong. When a man connected to Autumn’s disappearance is found with his throat cut and a blood-covered jack-o’-lantern positioned on the table in front of him, a message is pinned to his body: SEVEN DAYS. SEVEN SECRETS. SEE YOU AT HALLOWEEN. Then Daija receives a photograph of herself from the night Autumn vanished. She’s covered in blood. Now, one person connected to that Halloween is dying every day, and each murder exposes another piece of a night Daija can’t remember. Someone knows what happened to Autumn. Someone knows what Daija did. And by Halloween night, seven secrets will be uncovered and seven lives will be taken. #spookyreads #tbrlist #murdermystery #bookrecs #spookyseasonreads

Happy Release Day also to @LadyCline SheReads on her debut novel A Taste Of Forever: A Recipe To Us Available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. Head on over and show her and her book some love!!! Wishing you a very successful release day and then some. 💛 Synopsis: Sometimes coming home isn’t about returning to a place. It’s about finding the pieces of yourself you left behind. Asha Bennett has built a life she can call her own. Independent, creative, and always ready for her next stamped passport, she has no intention of letting her past dictate her future. But when the death of her beloved Great-Uncle Isaiah brings her back to Portland, Jamaica, she expects to settle his affairs, honor his memory, and return to the life waiting for her in America. Then the will is read. To claim her inheritance, Asha must remain in Jamaica for one year, living at Whispering Palms and following the trail of letters Uncle Isaiah left behind. What she doesn’t expect is for those letters to pull her deeper into the history of her family, the island she once called home, and memories she thought time had buried. She also doesn’t expect Malik Baptiste. A talented chef with a passion for feeding people and a stubborn streak that rivals her own, Malik remembers the girl Asha used to be. Their childhood was filled with stolen plantains, flour-covered counters, Aunt Jo’s kitchen, and dreams neither of them fully understood. More than two decades later, the familiarity is still there, but so is an attraction neither of them is prepared for. Their reunion is anything but sweet. Yet somewhere between old recipes, family secrets, hurricane winds, shared meals, and the unmistakable click... click... click of Malik’s beloved gas stove, the walls between them begin to fall. For Asha, staying means confronting everything she learned to leave behind. For Malik, loving her means giving her the freedom to choose a life that may not include him. And as Uncle Isaiah’s letters continue to reveal the past, Asha begins to wonder if the inheritance was ever really about Whispering Palms. Maybe the people who loved her first left behind something far more valuable. A reason to come home. A reason to stay. And perhaps, if she’s brave enough to choose it, a recipe for forever. Set against the lush beauty and vibrant culture of Jamaica, A Taste of Forever: The Recipe to Us is a heartfelt contemporary romance about food, family, grief, rediscovery, second chances, and a love that has been waiting years to find its way back home. #releaseday #bookrecommendation #booktokrecs

Meet Jordan “Pops” Jackson Sr. and Barbara "Barbie" Jackson, the heads of the Jackson family, the definition of true love, and proof that when two people build an empire together, they don’t play about what’s theirs! 🖤 👑 JORDAN SR. — FAIR, BUT RUTHLESS! Pops is all about family, loyalty, and protecting his own. He might give you a fair shot, but don’t mistake that for weakness. When it comes to his family? Baby, the gloves are OFF! You better come correct! 💋Barbie Jackson — SMALL IN SIZE, MIGHTY IN POWER! Don’t let her size fool you! This woman is just as beautiful as she is lethal, and I have a feeling you’ll learn REAL QUICK why nobody should underestimate Mrs. Jackson. Pretty, powerful, and absolutely NOT the one! ❤️ THEIR LOVE STORY? BLACK LOVE PERSONIFIED! These two have been soulmates since they were kids! They built their wealth from the ground up with hard work, loyalty, and hustle. No handouts, no shortcuts, just two people building a legacy together. Their love is unshakable, their legacy unmatched, and their family comes FIRST. BUT HOLD ON… 🤫 You already KNOW a family this powerful has a few skeletons in the closet!
