         Would you like to participate in the bookstagram tour for  THE FACTS AND LEGENDS OF CALLIE CATWELL ? Synopsis: Being a teenager can be hard, especially if you’re Callie Catwell. She already has plenty of worries in her life—a father struggling with anorexia, a friend with an abusive stepfather, an ex-boyfriend who won’t let their relationship go, and questioning her sexuality and new feelings for her best friend— and that’s not even taking into consideration the struggles that just come from growing up. Things suddenly take a strange turn when she sees a monster in the Lost Lake one morning. Finding that monster soon becomes an obsession, one that distracts her from the anxieties in her life. While she initially welcomes the distraction, Callie soon has to decide if she is ready to face her struggles or ruin her relationships with her family and friends—and the monster’s strange magic—forever.

Tour Sign Up: Sea and Flame by Tallie Rose

Image
        Would you like to participate in the bookstagram tour for  SEA AND FLAME ? Synopsis: When one door opens, another closes. Seraphina grew up listening to the stories she’d heard of the Brethren, those who saved the world from the faerie magic that had almost ripped the land apart a thousand years ago. They were just a story told to children, though, or so Seraphina thought. When her own magic starts to backfire on her, she must take a closer look at her family tree and the Brethren in it. Her newfound abilities draw the attention of Casmyn, a fae that swears he’s desperately been searching for someone like her—someone whose blood can open the path to the Land of Faerie and stop the fae lord Nilas from ruining their world. And though the fate of two lands rests on her shoulders, Seraphina can't help but be distracted by Casmyn’s infuriating and beautiful best friend Shevard.   ABOUT THE TOUR The tour for Sea and Flame by Tallie Rose will take place f...

Tour Sign Up: Kate in Waiting by Becky Albertalli

Image
       Would you like to participate in the bookstagram tour for  KATE IN WAITING ? Synopsis : From bestselling YA rom-com queen Becky Albertalli, author of Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda (Love, Simon), comes a new novel about daring to step out of the shadows and into the spotlight in love, life and, yes, theatre. Contrary to popular belief, best friends Kate Garfield and Anderson Walker are not codependent. Carpooling to and from theatre rehearsals? Environmentally sound and efficient. Consulting each other on every single life decision? Basic good judgment. Pining for the same guys from afar? Shared crushes are more fun anyway. But when Kate and Andy's latest long-distance crush shows up at their school, everything goes off-script. Matt Olsson is talented and sweet, and Kate likes him. She really likes him. The only problem? So does Anderson.  Turns out, communal crushes aren't so fun when real feelings are involved. This one might even bring the curta...
