Looking for diversion this weekend with deannaraybourn’s latest, #anunexpectedperil. #veronicaspeedwell #berkleypublishing #arcreads #bookstagram #readersofinstagram 
Poet @safiamafia’s poignant and lush novel in verse offers a look at the Sudanese immigrant experience through the eyes of teenage Nima, who interrogates the life she has through the life she might have had with the name her parents decided not to give her, Yasmeen. The audiobook is movingly narrated by the author. #arcreads #audiobookstagram #bookstagram #makemeaworld #readersofinstagram 
So sad to be at the end of this beautiful novel of historical fiction, a love letter to books and their ability to illuminate even the darkest of times. #theparislibrary, by @jskesliencharles, is also a wonderful audiobook narrated by @nickydiss, @esthermwane, and #sarahfeathers. #librofm, #arcreads, #atriabooks #audiobookstagram #bookstagram #readersofinstagram 
Author #chriswhitakerauthor’s poignant, suspenseful novel was one I couldn’t put down. An unforgettable teenage survivor, and a police officer facing unseen battles make for a heartbreaking read. #arcreads #audiobookstagram #bookstagram #henryholtbooks #kirkusstarredreview #netgalleyaudio #readersofinstagram 
Author @sarahbethdurst’s #thebonemaker takes place in a world in where bones can be used for magic in amazing and frightening ways. Another amazing set of female characters! #arcreads #bookstagram #harpervoyager #readersofinstagram 
I’ve been rereading @booksbyintisar’s #thebonekinife, which introduces the character of Rae, the protagonist of her forthcoming #theftofsunlight, which is set in the same world as #thorn. The Bone Knife is available as an ebook. #bookstagram #readersofinstagram #rae #alyrra

This was my grandfather. John “Jack” Cheney Wilson, Jr. was born in Copper Cliff, Canada in 1916, the son of a WWI pilot/engineer and a school teacher, who later settled in Missouri. Born with achromotopsia (complete colorblindness), he had further vision setbacks after suffering measles. Jack used jewelers loupes to work on electronic equipment for RCA, IBM, and NASA. His daughter and granddaughter sorted capacitors and resistors for his Florida-based workshop. He built lightweight circuitry that was used on the Mercury and early Apollo missions. Jack was entirely self-taught, having been unable to attend university. In his free time, he enjoyed tutoring students in math and physics, and jerry-rigging basic cable boxes, since he thought the airwaves should be free for everyone. Jack died in 1985, having lived to see the first home desktop computers, which delighted him, and only the successes of the Space Shuttle missions. He had hoped to live to see a permanently manned low-orbit space station, Freedom, a 1980’s project which later evolved into the present-day International Space Station. 
Releasing today, @gaileyfrey’s #theechowife is a suspenseful, twisty novel! #arcreads #bookstagram #readersofinstagram @torbooks
