Marni (wonderwmn999) The group would like to welcome author Leslea Tash for a Read 4 Review of her book Bird After Bird, a NA contemporary romance.

Dear Birdy, Princess Birdzilla von MuffinStuff, Keeper of Dreams, Lover of our Fine Feathered Friends, queen of my life and light of my world, I hope this letter finds you well. If you are reading this then I am gone, and sweetheart, I am so sorry.

Chi-town professional Wren Riley is 25 and a rising star in the business world. She can eat a man alive and laugh about it to her girlfriends in seconds flat--and she does, on the regular. Behind the power suits and the flashing, flirty eyes, however, Wren has a secret, vulnerable side. Following a devastating loss and the discovery of a bird journal she and her father made together years before, Wren sets out to seek peace, closure, and something she just can't name. Is that something tied to the little paper cranes she keeps finding along the way?

Laurence Byrd grew up a lanky Hoosier kid with the good/bad fortune of having the same name as the state's perennial basketball legend. With a better affinity for dogs than sports or school, he ends up in the Army instead of the Chicago art school of his dreams. Still, his service to our country is something he can be proud of--until an argument with the girl who means the world to him results in a series of events that blows his life apart. With no one left to understand him, black sheep Laurie pours out his heart into letters and drawings he never intends to send--then he folds them into paper cranes that he leaves behind like messages in little winged bottles. He never dreams someone might be finding them.

God damn it, Sylvia, for a few moments I tricked myself into feeling really alive. I cut it off before anyone got hurt, but just for a moment or two, I really thought I might feel something again--something like trust. Something like love. Not the kind of love we had, but something new. Something like hope.

Spoiler alert: Wren and Laurie are going to meet. And when they do, their lives are never going to be the same.


The author will be providing 10 copies in epub, and mobi formats . To request, please post your email address and format needed. It is your responsibility to check for the book and download it. It is also your responsibility to contact me immediately if you do not receive the book or have a problem.

Once you are finished with your review and have posted it on Goodreads, you are REQUIRED to post your Goodreads link to it on this thread.

Even though this book is being gifted to you please do not share it with anyone. It is unethical, disrespectful and illegal to share books provided to you for reviews.

This is to prevent people from getting complimentary books over and over without fulfilling their obligation.

Do not message me nor the author requesting the book. All info is to be posted here. This is for the ease of the author and the mods and fairness to all. If you do not wish to share your email publicly, please do not request.

If there are any other authors looking to do this with our group, please message me. You MUST be willing to provide copies, free of charge, to the reviewers. Here’s the post on what is needed when requesting: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

message 11: by Marni (new)

Marni (wonderwmn999) If you have a private profile, the author will not be selecting you for her R4R. If your reading genre's don't seem to fit this book, you will not be selected as a reviewer. The author has only a few copies available to distribute and has chosen to select the reviewers. This is not typical of the program, but it is allowed, especially since the author is providing the copies free of charge.


BookLover I would love to read/review this. booklover0873@gmail.com (epub please)

I hope this link works (I've never been great at linking my reviews). I have placed this review on goodreads, amazon.com, amazon.co.uk.

Thank you for letting me share in Wren and Laurie's beautiful story :)

Leslea (lesleatash) Natalie, I just read your review! Thank you so much!!

Your wish is granted. The next book will be titled Book After Book, and it's Louisa's story. You'll get more of the Byrd family background and more of the Birdseye characters in it. If all goes well, I hope to give you what you asked for about Mom's issues in a third book, as well. :)


message 19: by Leslea (new) - added it

Leslea (lesleatash) Everyone's reviews have been so wonderful, btw. Thank you so much for helping get the word out about my debut romance.


message 20: by [deleted user] (new)

Well that's exciting news :) I can't wait to read about these small town characters some more. It almost makes me want to pack up my Sydney suburban lifestyle and move out country to enjoy a simpler way of living :) x keep me posted
