Book Review Tour Post! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Awakening⠀ by Carissa Andrews⠀⠀ @carissa_andrews_mn⠀ 📚📚📚⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Before we delve into it, here's a friendly reminder that author's NEED you to review and rate their books!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Help them out!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📚📚📚⠀⠀⠀ If you have an open mind and do not connect the story with real life, then you will enjoy the book.⠀ I myself am not overly religiously, I prefer my world built with facts from science, and even I enjoyed this slightly religious-based book. Don’t let that mislead you though, this is full of action and plenty of moments that hit you out of no where.⠀ There are no witches,wizards, vampires or werewolves. There are demons and angels though, and our annihilation rest on the shoulders of only 4 souls. The story tells how they must accept who they are and how they will save this dimension by bringing back a religion that was never created, Christianity.⠀ If you’re a sensitive type or aren’t able to actually question your beliefs and the views of the world, you might be one of those “offended” by this book. I quite like that this book is rubbing some people the wrong way.⠀ We currently live in the world where many people have a hard time finding space for science and religion to co-exist. Awakening helps marry the two together to give all walks of life an opportunity to find that happy medium between belief and nonfiction.⠀ Prepare to be challenged with a fascinating ‘what if…’ that will keep you thinking long after the final page is turned.⠀⠀ 📚📚📚⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #readinglist #amreading #amwriting #learning #writers #writing #authors #books #booksy #booksbooksbooks #readingtime #hurnpublications⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #hurnpublishing #publisherswhocare⠀#sirensong #xpressobooktours @xpressotours⠀#authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #bookreview

READING LIST FRIDAY!⠀⠀ This week we're highlighting:⠀⠀ Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb ⠀ @lorigottlieb_author #maybeyoushouldtalktosomeone⠀ 📚📚📚⠀⠀ One day, Lori Gottlieb is a therapist who helps patients in her Los Angeles practice. The next, a crisis causes her world to come crashing down. Enter Wendell, the quirky but seasoned therapist in whose office she suddenly lands. With his balding head, cardigan, and khakis, he seems to have come straight from Therapist Central Casting. Yet he will turn out to be anything but.⠀ As Gottlieb explores the inner chambers of her patients' lives -- a self-absorbed Hollywood producer, a young newlywed diagnosed with a terminal illness, a senior citizen threatening to end her life on her birthday if nothing gets better, and a twenty-something who can't stop hooking up with the wrong guys -- she finds that the questions they are struggling with are the very ones she is now bringing to Wendell.⠀ With startling wisdom and humor, Gottlieb invites us into her world as both clinician and patient, examining the truths and fictions we tell ourselves and others as we teeter on the tightrope between love and desire, meaning and mortality, guilt and redemption, terror and courage, hope and change.⠀ Maybe You Should Talk to Someone is revolutionary in its candor, offering a deeply personal yet universal tour of our hearts and minds and providing the rarest of gifts: a boldly revealing portrait of what it means to be human, and a disarmingly funny and illuminating account of our own mysterious lives and our power to transform them.⠀ 📚📚📚⠀⠀ #readinglist #amreading #amwriting #learning #writers #writing #authors #books #booksy #booksbooksbooks #readingtime #bookworm #booklover #books #bookstagram #beach #beachday #readingtime📖 #read #readingisfun #hurnpublications

BOOK COVER ARTIST SPOTLIGHT!⠀ For the month of November, we're highlighting other amazing members of the publishing and writing community. Thursdays are devoted to the amazingly talented book cover artists and designers that make our world colorful and our book babies shine.⠀ 📚📚📚 ⠀ This month, we'll be highlighting and talking with the talented book designer,⠀ Fay Lane @faylane14⠀ ⠀ From romantic to whimsical, thrilling to inspirational, every book has a unique spirit. As a cover designer, my passion is to capture that spirit and bring it to life. Before making a custom order, take a look at my pre-made cover gallery!⠀ ⠀ In addition to book covers and author branding, I offer a variety of services including digital illustration, web graphics, stationary, and logo design. I have worked on projects ranging from movie posters to product packaging.⠀ 📚📚📚⠀ Q: Show us your favorite book design so far and tell us about it.⠀ ⠀ A: Some of my favorite (and most challenging) covers are actually still top secret pending the author’s book release, but out of my pre-made covers, this one is probably my favorite in recent days. It’s simple, dark, and has a modern fairy tale feel to it. I’m a big fan of fairy tale iconography, so I’m very happy with how this piece turned out.⠀ 📚📚📚⠀ Contact Fay Lane:⠀ @faylane14⠀ buff.ly/2WQZW8T⠀ ⠀ #bookdesign #bookcover #bookcoverart #bookdesigner #writingcommunity #publishingcommunity #amreading #amwriting #editorspotlight #november #thankful #hurnpublications #publisher #wecare

EDITOR SPOTLIGHT!⠀ For the month of November, we're highlighting other amazing members of the publishing and writing community. Wednesdays are devoted to the amazing editors that make our world turn.⠀ ***Slideshow is of books Rae has edited***⠀ 📚📚📚⠀ Continued post... @anewlookonbooks⠀ I’m also still a fangirl. Meaning I get way too attached to certain characters and my list of imaginary fictional boyfriends continues to expand. Some of my favorite authors are Sarah J. Maas, Leigh Bardugo, Deborah Harkness, and… well you get the point since the list just disappeared off the table and out of the room. I read a lot and can’t pinpoint my singular favorite book of all time. I can say some personal favorites are The Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness and To Kill A Kingdom by Alexandra Christo. I prefer fiction (romance, fantasy, etc.) over non-fiction. I’m in the transition period from YA to Adult… just kidding! I still read a ton of YA, especially YA fantasy. Oops?⠀ I’ll let my reviews and blog content speak for themselves throughout the course of this blog’s (hopefully long) lifespan. Though this blog has transitioned into a freelance editing business this year which is bittersweet but it was time for the big leap. My beloved blog, now called affectionately Bookish Looks, is a side adventure that continues as the sidekick to my new adventure of owning a business. What mischief can I get into now? We shall see.⠀ I think that about covers everything. I could go on… but I need to have a little mystery in my life!⠀ 📚📚📚⠀ Contact Rae:⠀ @anewlookonbooks⠀ buff.ly/33nT9G0⠀ 📚📚📚⠀ #editor #amediting #writingcommunity #publishingcommunity #amreading #amwriting #editorspotlight #november #thankful #hurnpublications #publisher #wecare
