People have been calling it The Mists of Avalon meets Philippa Gregory if that gives you a sense of what you're in for 😏 It's the first in a trilogy that reveals the untold story of Languoreth-a forgotten queen of sixth-century Scotland and the twin sister of the man who inspired the legend of Merlin. Leave me a question below to enter for a chance to win a signed copy!
CAN’T STOP WON’T STOP ANNOUNCING HUGE FALL BOOKS!!!!

Today’s big news is @REFINERY29 MONEY DIARIES: Everything You’ve Ever Wanted to Know About Your Finances...And Everyone Else’s, coming out September 4th!
💸
You probably already read Money Diaries—R29’s viral hit series that unearths the salacious details of millennial women’s financial lives. (If you haven’t...go immediately to moneydiariesbook.com to read a sample. They are #addictive)
💸
So we’re super excited to help the Money Diaries team share everything they’ve learned in one place. In the book, you’ll get some exclusive money diaries for sure, but you’ll also get valuable tips and advice on how to get rich (and afford life in the meantime) from a handpicked team of (female, duh) financial advisors. You'll also find financial challenges to encourage you to take immediate control of your own money, including things like:
✔️why budgets are bullsh*t and what to do instead
✔️how to make loan/debt repayment as painless as possible
✔️the first step to starting an emergency fund, even if you’re living paycheck to paycheck
✔️what it takes to ask for a raise and get paid what you’re worth
✔️how to have fun without going broke
💸
The editor of this book saved hundreds of dollars just by doing some of the challenges while she was editing!! So we know you will too.
💸
Any #moneydiaries fans in the house?? Comment below so I know who should get early copies 🤑

💪🏿💪🏾💪🏽💪🏼💪🏻
2017 pick: “GIRL UP by Laura Bates, the founder of Everyday Sexism, was my first acquisition here at Touchstone and I knew I loved the team here when they cheered for the endpapers (you’ll have to grab a copy to find out what I mean). The kind of book you wish you had when you were younger, and perhaps even more necessary for young women (and men) today.”
💞
2018 pick: “Sophie Lucido Johnson’s MANY LOVE is more than a young woman’s quest to find the one, it’s a sociological examination the versions of love our culture accepts, and practices. This empowering memoir epitomizes the type of narrative I am proud to work on. Plus, like GIRL UP, it’s filled with exceptional illustrations.”

Anyway just wanted to take the opportunity to say to all of you out there who not only read books but take the time to REVIEW them on Goodreads, Instagram, Amazon, B&N, Twitter, Facebook, your blogs, WHEREVER—we see you, we appreciate you, and you have no idea what a huge difference your time and thoughtfulness makes in the life of a book, and especially to the authors themselves. Whether you know it or not they read your reviews and it means more than you know. So seriously, thank you. 🙏 It means a lot to all of us.
