Top Ten Tuesday

Top Ten Tuesday: ~ Bookish Jobs I Would Do For Free  ~ October 10th, 2023 @ArtsyReaderGirl #TTT

Join in the Top Ten Tuesday fun! Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

This week’s theme is Bookish Jobs I Would Do For Free (Real or Imaginary).

I would definitely do any bookish job for free! I love books, especially physical books that I can smell! All of these would be so cool! I used to work in a library when I was younger, LOVED it. But I am retired now, so I am now a book blogger and reviewer, and I love that as well!

Librarian

Bookshop Owner

Publisher

Book Scout

Proofreader

Audiobook Narrator

Editor

Archivist

Literary Agent

What are the bookish jobs you would do for free?

Be sure to link up at That Artsy Reader Girl and view what the other participants posted this week.

When a new string of murders perfectly mirrors the signature of a serial killer who died in the `80s, investigators are stunned to find a thirty-five-year-old man who looks exactly like the long-dead butcher. He refuses to speak, offers no explanation, and the detectives call in Dr. Emily Beckett to break through his silence. Emily craves answers. But as she digs into his fractured psyche, the line between doctor and patient blurs. What she believes is progress is just his influence sinking deeper into her own wounds. Her trauma tells her a monster like him might still be capable of loving someone like her. She thinks she`s close to the truth behind the killings, but she couldn`t be further from it. Zayne Mercer was never acting alone. He is one of two twins made in the lab of the Halden Institute. And when he finally escapes and reunites with his brother, Emily learns the hardest truth:

Some monsters are born.
Some are made.
And some... are loved.

✨Beautiful Nightmare (GermanEdition) by @authorkinsleykincaid

🔗 Available on Amazon & KU ➤ https://books2read.com/u/3nljn6

Es ist zu abgedreht, um ein Traum zu sein.
Doch für manche ist es wunderschön.
Es erschafft Angst und nimmt Seelen in Besitz.
Nichts davon ist Einbildung.
Alle Beteiligten sind hellwach - auch wenn sie es nicht sein wollen.
Mit rasenden Herzen und bebenden Lippen gibt es keine Ruhe mehr.
Denn heute Nacht werden Albträume Wirklichkeit.
Willkommen im Agatha Manor in Hollows Grove.

*Extreme Bully, Dark Paranormal Romance. Ends With A HEA

Tempt the devil once, and he’ll come for you twice.

💋Forbidden Romance
💸Rich Boy x Girl from the Other Side of the Tracks
🏁A dash of Street Racing
🫶 He Falls First
🔥Opposites Attract
💣 Power Plays
“You owe me an 💦”
🐺Primal Play

Blurb:

Jessica’s world is falling apart.
Her mother is slipping away. Her brother is unraveling. And every choice she makes pulls her deeper into Bleakmoor’s shadows.
She should walk away from Kane Ravencourt.
He’s reckless, possessive and consuming.
But when he touches her, she forgets why she ever tried to run.

Kane has already decided. Jessica is his.
She thinks she can stay away.
She can’t. Not from him.
Jessica is his, no matter what it costs. His father’s threats, his friends’ warnings, her family’s hatred… none of it matters.
Because he’ll burn every rule, every enemy, every f^cking boundary to keep her.
Being noticed by him is dangerous.
Being wanted by him is ruin.
And together, they’re headed for their Midnight Chase.
